Actually the majority of the world prefer Madrid. Only fools like Matt think otherwise.

Anyways on to more important stuff and Florentino has officially announced that he will be standing for the summer's elections.

Vaughan just give up, your team's a joke.

Real Madrid isn't that bad team. They are among the top of European competition. It's just that Barcelona is a bit better then them in this season. Some years ago it was the reverse.

 

[Will_NA]

A bit better? Barca stand to win the treble whereas Madrid are about to finish the season trophyless. That's like saying United just shaded Arsenal this season.

All the money in the world and Madrid are still crap.

Last two seasons actually.

Well, looking back into history, Real Madrid is still the best team in Europe and thereby maybe in the whole world.

Also during celebrations yesterday one guy was injured and about 100 people were injured. The guy fell somewhere in a river.

Here is the article about Barcelona's win:

Lol @ Madrid being the best team in Europe. They aren't even the best team in Spain. Joke club.

 

[ZexyZahid]

If you look at the statistics, they are. I believe they have been nine time champions in Europe.

I would like to see van Nistelrooy en Huntelaar playing at the front in next season.

They won five of them 50 years ago. They are nowhere near the best.

I think Higuain deserves to be started after the season he has had. From the long run point of view, assuming Perez does not sign anyone, Higuain and Huntelaar could be the ones who'll be representing our frontline.

Pepe's appeal has been rejected and fairly so. I just want him to take some time off football, clear his mind and comeback fresh and ready for next season. He was the best defender in the liga last season, and I know he will come out strongly sooner rather than later. While I want to the club offload Cannavaro and Metzelder, I want them to stick with Pepe and sign another center back to support him, apart from Garay.

Real Madrid the best team in the World?? Come off it!! They're doing nothing but living off their past history. Right now, they're a shambles and if Ronaldo is still entertaining thoughts of joining them, the lad needs his head examined.

Besides, Utd are the official holders of that title, no matter how we won it.

Why do you want them to sell Cannavaro? He's a class defender!

 

[m_vaughan]

Well it seems the deal for Kaka is done. 63 million, although the person who seems to have clinched the deal, is yet to win the elections. The source is Marca, so would be foolish to start celebrating just yet. As far as I am concerned, we need to play well tonight against a resurgent Villarreal side, which will be difficult considering our already struggling defence has been hit by even more injuries.

Why do you want them to sell Cannavaro? He's a class defender!

Back in his day (not that long ago) he was. But he is well past it now and has really struggled this season. He was brilliant in his first season under Capello, but ever since has been on the decline. Like I said before, we need someone who is like how he was three seasons back.

Besides, Utd are the official holders of that title, no matter how we won it.

ZZ meant all time, for which we are the official holders of the title.

Kaka rumours have already been rejected and denied by his agent and father. Hardly a surprise.

Marca = Sun/Mirror/Star?
