Oh, and can we agree that Mourinho's reign at RM has been a failure? 3 trophies in 3 years (if you count the super cup that is) isn't bad, especially considering last year's record-breaking La Liga campaign, but given how much money was funneled into the team and how much they wanted la decima, I think you can say with certainty that it hasn't been a success. I also have to mention that he's turned the team into a very special kind of sore-losers. From trying to kick their opponents off the field to serial divers, he's turned RM into a mess.
Jupp Heynckes would be a good fit for them, if he decides against retiring, that is.
This very much, this season symbolises a team in disbandment especially with mourinho. Since José Mourinho arrived at Real Madrid in the summer of 2010, Atlético have won 4 trophies to Real Madrid´s 3. 500million worth of players. Numbers doesn't prove anything in this case. Watchling atl. madrid vs real madrid was a very sad representation of spanish football with all the acting, it's like a kindergarten on the pitch.
Real Madrid is perhaps Europe's most unsympathetic team. Add as many crazyheads in one team has never been seen before in european football history.

They had 38 other days to prove that they were better, if none of the tiebreakers break the deadlock, then a playoff is fair.

You know it would be fair for Chelsea to get the match at home. That would be a cool quirk to the playoff rule, if one of the teams have got more points than the other in their matches, they get the choice of the ground to play at.
now that all leagues are decided,the only thing interesting (humhum cl final) is the transfer window.Only we have to wait 2months+,as always teams will make their moves in the last week ;(
Yeah right, MLS season is in full swing! Plus we have the Confederations Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup, U21 Euros, and the U20 World Cup. It's gonna be an exciting summer.
Galatasaray's chairman saying that Arda Turan wants to back Galatasaray. TBH i dont think its possible because he has such a high market value (24.000.000 €).

u21/u20 is only exciting for uk people with the a team not able to compete in the big man national competitions;)
Witnessing Beckham's final minutes on a pitch was really moving, happy that the crowd gave him the credit he deserved. And PSG put up an amazing show. Last game at Parc des Princes this season, sad times of the year...
Last day for the Premier league today. Games all kick off @ 15:00 GMT (+00:00)! Also for those who were involved, it means by Monday we shall know who is the victor of the Fantasy league! I will post it monday as well!
Some guys at the dizzying heights of the fantasy league have been unassailable for me for a long time. Alas. I hope I would catch up to Rebs but he always subbed in very similar players to me for a long stretch of time so even that goalpost shifted. Ho hum, there's always next year!!
EPT
Beckham, we'll miss you. A great ambassador for the sport.
