The group stages are a bit stale, but the knockouts get better and better every year. I long for the day we get there.Grubby little competition that lost all its kudos when they started allowing teams in it that had not won their own leagues to qualify. Every team we beat in 1982 were national champions. Having said that, when we are in it one day I may give it a bit more attention.Exactly. As I said last night I found it extremely distasteful to see a team in the quarter finals that has not won its own domestic league fpor 50 years...

Or is 30 years ok?
I think I have slightly more respect for Man U fans than Chelsea ones. At least some of them have stuck with Man U through thick and slightly less thick. That match when they weren't winning at half-time once saw a good percentage of their fans jump ship.
Rooney's goal and the build up was a bit special, you have to concede them that

I long for the day we get there.It's not . Just look at QF first leg results 5-1, 4-0, 2-5 and 0-1. Hardly competitive. It's a. endless self defeating pursuit of riches and clubs in it dare not miss out as missing out leads to ruination as Spurs are going to find out next season.
