Not a great performance (again
) but we battled it out. SWP is starting to look really good at times, Duff is completely the opposite. Stunning strike by Gallas though which was worth the win on it's own, how long is it now?


fozzybear said:Has anyone seen the bizarre incident in the Valencia v Real Madrid match?
One of the Madrid defenders actually picked the ball up in the penalty area thinking that the referee had given a free kick to Valencia outside of the box. The referee never gave the free kick to Valencia yet the offficials failed to notice the Real defender with the ball in his hands.
Very disappointing match so far. It's far too stop/start. Some of the Valencia players certainly like a dive don't they?
Gilly said:Not as badly as that right winger (or should that be right whinger?) for Madrid. He sucks hard. He has average control, poor passing range, can't beat a man and can't take a challenge.
Beckham has never been a wingerfozzybear said:Beckham?![]()
or are you on about the Brazilian who played there tonight?
Gilly said:Beckham has never been a wingerHe doesn't even play on the right for them.
Cicinho I think it was. Can't tackle, can't pass well, can't go past a man, didn't cross it for the whole game...

fozzybear said:I felt a bit for Ronaldo after he missed that penalty in the last minute. He's got a lot of stick off the Madrid fans lately. I'd welcome him at United if the rumours are true that Ruud is out and Ronaldo is in.
Nedved11 said:No way, I'd keep Ruud. Yes Ronaldo has taken a lot of stick from the fans but its down to him at the end of the day. He has let it all slide, no one to blame but himself. I think he will favour a move back to Italy, but with someone who will help get his fitness into shape. Losing some of the weight will help. He is not ready for the WC right now, and to be honest I'm glad him and Adriano are notAlthough Adriano broke his goal drought tonight with a win against Samp.
fozzybear said:I think he has shed a few pounds lately. He looked a lot leaner last night.
I'd rather keep Ruud but if he is to go i'd welcome Ronaldo as a replacement. There were 2 presenters on talkSport who had heard the same rumour. One source was from Spain and the other from England.
After the Man Utd fans applauded him for his hat-trick there a few years ago, Old Trafford holds a special place in Ronaldo's heart and that may sway him. He certainly won't be at Madrid next season anyway.
Tony Soprano said:Looking forward to the game tomorrow V Newcastle. Just hope it's on Sky Sports, haven't checked yet.
Nedved11 said:As for Cicinho, he has always been a RB, always loves going forward, from the games I have seen him play he has been outstanding (not tonight though). Was surprised he never started against Arsenal, Another big one ManU missed out on.
Cracking goals today, never seen so many in one day before, first time I've ever seen MOTD do a goal of the dayThe second Mendes goal was probably the best for me though.
