Real Madrid (H) | CL SF 2nd Leg | Post-Match Thread

[Stoned Rose]

Why do everybody say that - greatest in Europe? FFS the 50th best team in Europe would hammer any team from the rest of the planet. We're the best team in the whole fucking World!

Bit of an over exaggeration to suggest the rags are that good.

What OH wont mention is that united were extremely fortunate to win both of Fergusons CL's he won-outplayed v Bayern for 90 mins of the game-and it was only John Terry losing his footing in the penalty shoot out that gifted united that title. Holt talks a load of shite, no mention of any of Fergusons points tally in his league winning seasons-forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't think Ferguson ever won the league with 90 plus points. Its a myth how good united were in the CL under him, two CL's in 20 years is hardly anything to shout about-especially with the money he spent.

Don't mention the money, Pike!

Watched the full game again this morning.

Godlike.

I started to think we might be okay when Jools tucked away the 4th goal.

Luxury. I only relaxed after the final whistle and when I had checked VAR wasn't awarding 4 after-time penalties to Madrid.

Hopefully the updated version of The Greatest City / The City Years has a front cover with all 3 trophies on it.

Sadly no publisher wants to do the book.

That really surprises me.

If it came at the end of the Pep era and following any Champions League win, I’d imagine it would be extremely popular.

Perhaps it’s something the club could also sell when the new museum opens. Also hoping you have some involvement with that so lots of key moments from our past can be captured accurately.

It’s an expensive book to produce and many bookshops have no interest in books of that size, cost etc either. They want mass produced books that can be churned out sadly. Most local Waterstones wouldn’t even take the Peter Barnes biography I did which is odd because he played for both Manc clubs but they said it wouldn’t sell to either set if fans because it’s too long ago.

Their piss must have slowly boiled throughout that 1st half, as the masterclass unfolded before their very eyes. Then, word by grudging word, they had to do their rewrites.
:-)

I fancy most of the piss from the English media would have evaporated by HT!
