true...but there 97 winning side wasnt really a "big name" team at the time...

you only need to look at real madrid to see what happens when you get a bunch of super ego's in the same team...they are all to bust trying to out do each other than bothering to beat their opposition

Two down, two to go.

In saying that, the 2 English teams that got through deserved it.

chelsea and milan are the strongest teams

Yep.
Real Madrid could of advanced.
Why did the coach replace Zindane so early, even though he was playing great.
Why did the coach NOT replace Raul with Owens until the very end?
Good job on replacing Beckham with Solari (sp) though.
But god, Raul didnt do anything and when Owens got on, atleast he came close a few times.
Too bad for Owen's, superstar with Liverpool, now he's benched. Where should he go next.

owen might go to arsenal in a swap deal..owen for reyes...plus maybe a bit of cash arsenals way....makes sense because reyes aint happy and owen aint happy...

I wouldnt be happy either.
Your sitting on the bench for chrissikes, and your a wicked player. Its soo bloody stupid.

personally i cant see Owen going to Arsenal in a switch for Reyes i think that he will stay in Madrid for at least another season then i think Italy is the way for him Juve possibly Del Piero (sp) isn't playing to great and Owen with Ibrahimovic (sp) would be a awesome partnership IMO

ibrahimovic is class...but he cant finish too good

Why are people assuming Reyes isn't happy? Coz he said he'd like to play for Madrid?

What player wouldn't? Doesn't mean he wants to leave Arsenal.

Chelsea without Robben is like Barcelona without Ronaldinho. I can't wait for Robben to return. Holland are gonna bring it when the World Cup rolls around.

Speaking of World Cup. If Sven stops picking people because of who they are rather than their ability, England would have a good team. Defoe, Wright-Phillips, Terry, Lampard, Rooney (if necessary), Johnson, Campbell, King, Ferdinand, Robinson.

Instead he just goes and picks Owen, Rooney, Beckham. The players that sell the most papers. Owen can't do anything unless he's put one on one. Rooney can AT LEAST beat a few men.

mmm...i'm not sure if Holland will make an impact...all the in fighting that goes on in that team is unreal

on paper they are definitely in the top 5 teams in the world but in reality they dont make the most of themselves on the pitch

but then im still annoyed that the only good game they played in 5 years was against Scotland where they pumped us 5-0...only after we beat them at Hampden though...BRING ON THE RITALINS...I MEAN THE ITALIANS

Ahem, 6-0..........Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

In a bar, in Prague, in kilts, with more Scots, getting laughed at by 2 dutch girls who found this group of broken men hilarious. Not a good night.

The Hampden game on the other hand........

Sporting won away in Boro's home, Riverside, for 3-2 in UEFA CUP 😄

reyes said on a radio station that he wasnt happy at arsenal
i think chelsea can still survive without robben..they proved it against barcalona...chelsea just lack a bit of flair without him

They beat Barcelona, very convincingly. Had Robben been there it would have been a different story.

The man is only a year older than me. Insane.

Brazil still definately have the best strike force. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Adriano and Fabiano.

-AC

i think joe cole did great in place of robben

i dont class ronaldnho has a striker really
ronaldo has been doin crap recently aswell..he's not at his best
adriano and fabiano are great prospects though

What about julio baptiste?

He's a Brazilian player.

If they hacked up their defence, they'd be pretty much unstoppable. They already have one of the best keepers on Earth.

-AC

lucio is a good defender..best they have

*sniff*sniff*

What's that I smell? Ah yes, victory!

The glorious dons win again, 3-0 against Hibs. Captain fantastic Russel Anderson, Noel "bleezin" Whelan from a few inches and a Dazzlin' Darren Mackie penalty. Pittodrie was bouncing. We now leapfrog Hibs into 3rd place, fantastic. Happy days!

4th win in a row made all the better by the dirty cheating jam tarts (Hearts) getting smacked by Caley and the minks that are Dundee Utd being at the bottom of the league all on their lonesome.

Happy, happy days!
