Yeah, surreal moment, plus how complicated has betting got these days, returns if the first goal is not scored on a the right blade of grass.
Yes the same one that, 7 years ago won the champions league, and 6 years ago won La liga.
yes, 7 and 6 years respectively.
Arsenal won the league a few years ago you know.
Fancy that.
I have no idea who would take us forward, then again I am not paid to make that kind of decision, or experienced in the right fields to make that kind of decision. If I knew who could take us forward then I wouldnt be going into the job tomorrow morning that I go to every week.

Don't really get the point of your post other than confirming that Madrid were a force in Spain and Europe when Valencia won La Liga with Benitez.
Tevez definitely to start (as he has played every stage of the CC so far) possibly with Rooney upfront (as he hasnt played much since coming back from injury)
Welbeck on one wing and probably Nani on the other - Gibson seems like a definite starter
Fabio - Evans - Vidic - OShea (no other fit rb unless Eckersley gets the nod?)
with Foster in goal I would have thought
Rio could play instead of Vidic, but as he didnt play against Inter and he played a few games in the rounds due to necessity I think Vidic will step in
It may be a case of a five man midfield with Scholes Gibson and Fletcher (I doubt Giggs will start after playing 90 minutes on Tuesday) , and I cant see Carrick starting unless there is an injury to one of the above or for instance Fletcher plays rb and OShea has to play lb
Really hoping for a decent game

What I'm saying is that the Liverpool fans that we hear about, and in turn base our opinions on, don't support Rafa.
Now I might not know as much about Liverpool as I do a few other clubs, but I know that Rafa is doing well at Liverpool. Rafa has turned Liverpool in to a good League Club, a European force and a knockout expert.
I can't see what he's doing wrong.
Other then going mad and abusing Sir Alex
I was thinking the same thing lol.
atpbx totally out of character goes on a wayward rant.I was thinking the same thing lol.
No i wasnt ranting, just saying, "and the point is......"?
He is actually getting worse in the cups to be fair - admittedly he is still doing well in CL (and always seems to) - domestic cups though, certainly got knocked out pretty early of both this season
Pigeon reiterated the point, despite how bad Madrid may be now, there were a force back then and Benitez proved he was a top manager by winning La Liga.
Madrid are second in their league, I'd hardly call them "bad" They have a lot of very good players and a fairly good manager at the moment. Liverpool still have to play them at home, and no matter what you think about Liverpool being a good side at home, stranger things have happened.
Not all that, Madrid had a bad season the first time he won it, he was a disaster in the league the season after that, and he had a decent season the year after.
So he had one good season at valencia, threw a paddy, and naffed off.
I dont dislike the guy, I just dont rate him.
Another lucky season for Ferguson then? Because the rest of the top 4 have been ****.
Who do you actually rate as a manager in world football? Other than Ferguson of course.
Sir Alex Ferguson is the most successful manager in the English game.
Rafa was fortunate when he won the League because of the short coming of Real. Rafa is now less fortunate because he's coming up against other good sides, Manchester United are the best team in the league at the minute.
This however, for this season at least shows how poor the other teams have being. Last season Chelsea took Manchester United right to the death, as Arsenal and Chelsea have done for the past few seasons. So No I don't think Sir Alex gets lucky. I think he's just the best manager in the League at the moment.
Chelsea have sacked two very good managers, Wenger is still about and will have a incredible team in a season or so, and with the rise of Martin and David at Villa and Everton you can hardly say Sir Alex is getting lucky every season.

League has been rubbish this year, and we were one of the worst sides to win the league in years last year.
Cant say we have been anything other than lucky to end up in this position this year, much as it pains me to say it, we have been terrible in quite a few games.
