      It's very similar to how outraged people get over "player X who is not on the team I support and just dived and is thusly a cheating scumbag".

      All players dive. All teams remonstrate with officials. Fuck sake, football fans: we suck so much!

        Ferguson's siege mentality is one of the main supports to his team makeup so why bother question it when it has been so successful for him?
        His decision to put the farm on Berbatov and ditch Tevez has been the deciding factor this season imo. And surely now rio ferdinand is on borrowed time there now?

          Okay, I'll make this real easy:

          are you claiming that Utd players never remonstrate with referees over decisions, and never / have never asked for a referee to book / send off a player after a cynical challenge?

          Looking forward to the answer!
          don't start that shit in here now...

                      We're actually really lucky as a forum to have a way better ratio of good soccer posters : typical football idiots.

                      Lloyd, Sledgejammer, Cooker, Rekop Dog and Eagle Eye (when not trolling) amongst others all have knowledgeable opinons and are rarely cringe-worthy.

                                        Dunphy and co are like a two-outer, great when they go in your favour but fcking tilting when they don't.

                                        As a United fan I have to accept Rafael deserved both his yellow cards. It was a moment of naivety and inexperience that cost us dearly, and I don't blame Ribery and co at all for remonstrating with the ref.

                                        Robben's goal was just so crushing. I knew we were never going to score once they were ahead in the tie.

                                        I remember watching Fiorentina - Bayern. After Robben's wonderstrike, they closed out the game in such an efficient way. Fiorentina never got another chance in 15 minutes.

                                        I hate the 'Headshot'-type reaction of saying Carrick should be shot etc but my god, the amount of times he has been caught in possession the way he was in the lead up to the corner for Robben's goal in recent weeks is a joke. At this point he really has to be moved on in the summer.

                                                No! My thread title means so much more than a simple baiting of Utd fans!

                                                Today is a really important night for European club football. For the first time in years, no English team is in the last four of the CL. Traditional powers Inter and Bayern are back at the top table.

                                                The Utd / Milan match was a real low point for reasons I stated at the time. Given the financial imprudence of the likes of Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, a severe shift in the status quo may be upon us soon.

                                                German and Italian club football rising again IS the big story from these quarter final matches. Not Messi: everyone already knew he was the player of his generation.

                                                          Dom, I'm actually right on this one. And this is actual proper football content, not troll related rubbish. As I said at the time:

                                                          Got to think tonight was a pretty seminal moment for modern football. A Milan team laden with big names and numerous medals - and currently second in Seria A - getting completely thumped while the home fans chanted for the removal of their club's owner. Bizarre.

                                                          This is a golden age for the top English clubs on the pitch, that is inarguable at this stage. But it comes in the context of their own financial instability, the sanitation of the way football is supported and consumed as product, and a spate of clubs at all levels outside the "big four" struggling to survive.

                                                          All this augmented by the most expensively assembled club side in the history of the game getting knocked out in the year where the final is to be played at their home stadium.

                                                          There will of course be those who welcome all of this, who like to see the teams they primarily watch / support perform to this level - and welcome the chaos that comes with such an upheaval of the status quo. It's a funny old game and all of that.

                                                          But for me, a night like tonight is yet another indicator of how unsustainable things are at the top of the game right now. The English game should be looking at the fortunes of their Italian counterparts and thinking "we need to be more financially prudent, live within our means more often, etc". They won't.
                                                          Bayern are an exceptionally well run club. They have suffered on the pitch because of that. I am happy to see them progress for more reasons than LOL UTD.

                                                            I'd love to see German football work into a dominant position in Europe, the fans are brilliant in terms of numbers and their colour/vocal support, their stadiums are fantastic, the league is really well balanced (Last years champions in the bottom half of the league this year I think) and most of the clubs seem really well run (Which is both why they don't do well in Europe, relatively, and why their league is so competitive). In terms of domestic product, they probably have the best league in Europe...Not the best standard wise, but there's genuine competition and world class facilities and support. Would the average premiership/la liga fan trade consistent CL success for a league that's had 5 different winners this decade and is genuinely always really competitive? It's an interesting question I think.

                                                            The champions league would be stronger with a strong Germany. They've still a long way to go, mind you, but given it's all but certain they'll take Italys 4th CL spot two seasons from now they're on the right track.

                                                              Lloyd, change it to something less confrontational ffs or I will. Please. I don't want to have to be changing it again tomorrow night if Liverpool go out, or if utd win the league. Don't break the unwritten covenant man.

                                                                  I love the fact that we can come in here after a match and have some banter and discuss a match, all in the knowledge that we're among like minded individuals and it's almost certainly going to be kept civil.

                                                                  I'm obv a 'Pool fan and don't like United, there's plenty of anti-Liverpool stuff too, I love it,it's healthy and people are obviously speaking from the heart and not being too guarded as they feel comfortable here.

                                                                  I have no interest in what horse wins what race or what wrestler/boxer/karatekid wins a fight but I enjoy reading about it at the same time.

                                                                    The Utd / Milan match was a real low point for reasons I stated at the time. Given the financial imprudence of the likes of Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, a severe shift in the status quo may be upon us soon.

                                                                    German and Italian club football rising again IS the big story from these quarter final matches. Not Messi: everyone already knew he was the player of his generation.
                                                                    Might just be variance obviously, could well be back to 2/3 EPL semi-finalists next year.
                                                                    But there is definitely a case that the EPL may struggle over the next few years to attract top class players. Sterlings continuing woes means they need to pay about 25% more in sterling wages now than 3 years ago to match the Euro equivalent.
                                                                    And the tax situation isn't great either, there are countries that are far friendlier to their sportsmen taxwise than the UKs 50% rate.
                                                                    Apparently Arshavin was shocked to find himself on the same 'take-home' in London as he was in Leningrad.

                                                                    Its nice to see such a 1970s style mixture of teams in the semi-finals.

                                                                                  Bayern are an exceptionally well run club. They have suffered on the pitch because of that. I am happy to see them progress for more reasons than LOL UTD.
                                                                                  Me and Kev will have to start thinking about new thread titles for tomorrow so. I'm thinking that the rise of 3E as a channel and the quality of their football punditry could be interesting, perhaps the fall off in the interest in Europa cup football could be another angle to consider...

                                                                                  If anyone has others may have some good suggestions, if so, please post them up and they'll all be gladly considered and the best one will get their name and their title put into the BBV title...

                                                                                    Tevez - great player, plays for a decent city team trying to get into champions league, where berbatov has been of late.
                                                                                    Rio - 'on borrowed time' as captain of a united team that has got to two champions league finals and won 1, has like a gazzilion premier league winners medals, and will captain his country at the world cup... borrowed time, i think not.

                                                                                    I completely agree with you on the Pique thing, that for me is the biggest mistake Ferguson has made in terms of player signings and it barely gets mentioned.

                                                                                    I somewhat disagree on Ferdinand though, he has definitely regressed over the past two seasons. He's still a good player of course, but he isn't as regal as he once was.

                                                                                        I haven't watched lost since season 3 started, but watched that hour long catch up at start of this season, and one full episode as well as other bits.

                                                                                        Not interested in going back and catching up on everything, but reckon I wont be too lost (ugh) in watching this weeks?

                                                                                        Also, started watching The Pacific after it was recommended to me, only found the first 3 streaming online though, 4th one has been removed from all the megavideo links as far as I can see.

                                                                                        Anyone wanna throw it up into cousins?

                                                                                          Why is the Bundesliga great and because of what we have to be jealous of the Germans? There are at least ten reasons:

                                                                                          1.Stadiums sold out

                                                                                          On average stadium in Germany is about 92% of available seats sold. Bayern Munich has the availability of 100%.

                                                                                          2.Fair ticket prices

                                                                                          The average ticket price is around 22 euros, while English in average spend 43 euros, and Spanish 40. Almost twice more than the Germans!

                                                                                          3.Contact with the fans

                                                                                          Bundesliga players do not run away from contact with the fans,even they are looking for it.

                                                                                          4. Exciting and unpredictable championship

                                                                                          In the past twelve years stx different teams were the champions. Nobody expect that Wolfsburg and Felix Magath will take the Championship.

                                                                                          5. Media coverage

                                                                                          In Germany, the pay-TV transmits all 612 games of first and second Bundesliga, while English Sky carries only 138 live meetings.

                                                                                          6. Beer during the game

                                                                                          German beer is definitely one of the biggest advantages of Bundesliga.

                                                                                          7. Most fans


                                                                                          Among the 20 European teams with the highest average fan is nine German clubs. One of them is Borussia Dortmund.

                                                                                          8. Security

                                                                                          Control is strict and the number of incidents in the stadiums is relatively negligible.

                                                                                          9. Great atmosphere in the stadiums

                                                                                          Fans always change choreography so stadium always look interesting from the height.

                                                                                          10. Tension until the last round

                                                                                          In 46 years the Bundesliga decision Champ as much as 23 times was decided in the last round - such as 2007th when Stuttgart in the last 90 minutes of the season became the champion of Germany.

                                                                                          from fourfourtwo magazine

I'm thinking that the rise of 3E as a channel and the quality of their football punditry could be interesting, perhaps the fall off in the interest in Europa cup football could be another angle to consider...

                                                                                                        are you claiming that Utd players never remonstrate with referees over decisions, and never / have never asked for a referee to book / send off a player after a cynical challenge?

                                                                                                        Looking forward to the answer!

                                                                                                            Me

                                                                                                            ok for a start the league cup is a throw away competition used to blood new players and so winning such event should not factor into having a good season.

                                                                                                            united will slip to 3rd in the PL if arsenal win their game in hand and would be a lot further off the pace if Chelsea didnt slip up over the last couple of games.

                                                                                                            the one saving grace has been getting to the last 16 of the champions League but even at that their form this season (even factoring in the absence of ronaldo) has been well below par. On current form United will struggle to progress in the champions league.

                                                                                                            Unless Fergeson spends wisely in this transfer window this season could turn ugly - im talking about being out of contention in any meaningful competition come Mrch

It's all kept civil and gives people an opportunity to vent/moan. where they feel comfortable to do so.

I was full sure I went out about 400th and out of the money. Searched the HH and find the hand what did it, I obv didnt see the flush and just closed the client

I only originally responded because you used the word ‘terrible' to describe the season, but yeah, you carry on with your sky sports like over-reactions to what's giving their financial limitations has been a far from a terrible season.
