Now now Zidane, don`t spoil your reputation for fair and unbiased posts re. Man U. A good game to watch for the neutrals and Ronaldo showed why the Ronaldo v Bale debate should end right now, he is a brilliant player.

The best player on the pitch last night was Uniteds goalkeeper and the 2nd leg should be a cracker! Although ManU packed their defence last night, I was still surprised by Real's lack of creativity in the final quarter. They have to attack at Old Trafford and dominate as last night, because their defence isn't good enough to hold out otherwise (IMHO).

Arsenal were comfortably beaten by Bayern earlier. Even Wenger has effectively written the return off. I thought it a little ironic when he said it was hard to lift the team after the Blackburn game - really? I just don't believe that.

I don't know where Wenger and Arsenal go from here? Unless the board deliver the money in the summer they keep talking about and Wenger actually selects some decent players to buy, I can't see them finding that extra needed to be at the very top level!

In fairness, I feel Chelsea have similar issues in a couple of positions, I mean Ba is hardly a long term replacement for Drogba, is he? :?

As i've been saying for a while, the Wenger era is over & a change in the boardroom is required too.
He's totally lost the plot (did you see his recent press conference :shock: :oops: )

The squad is 3 or 4 players short & the money was there to spend.
He's run out of excuses & his stubborn stance is becoming an embarassment :cuss:

For all he's done for the club, & it's immense, he's in danger of souring it all. :|

sore loser Wegner, walking down the tunnel without shaking hands with any of the Bayern staff, time for him to move on I think

Well that went well for about ten minutes. Just how did Mertesacker manager to get all those caps with Germany? And why is it that Wenger is the only one who can`t see the problem? Just do a Man City/Chelsea/PSG and get in a Sugar Daddy, that Russian bloke will do, then worry about financial fair play and "Old school traditions" after winning something.

Not cocky DM just pleased with last nights CL results. Roll on the game at WHL yes as I love the NL derby, not confident of the getting any points as that game is a lottery with the other w***ers usually coming out on top :D

AC Milan showed the rest of Europe how to nullify the Barcelona attack who didn`t have a plan B.
