Beckham became a senior player in 1997, unless you are referring the Cup winners cup to European cup, I dont think fergie has won one before Beckham became a senior player,

How many titles have United won before 1997?
Go and get your facts sorted. United generated money from the new SKYSPORTS deal with the English FA.
The reorganisation of the English league and the TV money meant United made loads of money winning those titles from 93 till Beckham learnt how to cross the ball properly.

And the highest selling Jersey was #7 Manchester United red top worn by a certain David Beckham, and the moment he left, Real Madrid took the over as the richest club

Whatever Beckham made wearing the number 7 shirt, he made it for himself not for Man Utd.
Go and learn about image rights.
P.S. Madrid were not even the richest club throughout the time Beckham was there. . . . . .Being rich is dependent on value not necessarily by revenue. . . . . . . .How come AC Milan or LA Galaxy weren't the richest when David Beckham joined em.
Get some perspective, man. . . . . .stop talking like an illiterate.

Dr Kitaun:
Drogba deserved to win, if u feel otherwise SUE AFRICAN COACHES WHO VOTED HIM AHEAD OF ETOO!

There lies the problem.
How are we so sure African coaches voted Drogba ahead of Etoo?
What is to say the original poll was used to determine the winner of the award?

This is Africa.
Even in a more important position, Africans do rig let alone something that is soccer-related.
Drogba was below par last season. He wouldn't have won the best African player in Chelsea, never mind best African player.

i truly aggree.the season is just beginning.

They got too complacent!!!
It was too easy for the terrorists to get the bomb into CTU. . . . .Nice plan but it coulda been spotted.
Then why did the SWAT team move on to the Hotel so carelessly even when Jack was trying to stop them to be more careful?

You guys are the ones that should take your Lampard glasses off. Bloody scared fellas. . . It's about someone who can fill his shoes.
Lampard will be 32 by June 29th and he is the fulcrum upon which our midfield see-saws.

Scholesy and Giggsy are older and yet SAF never jokes with them in big games.
Lampard's age has got nothing to do with it. Chelsea missed few big players on the night and the quality of Inter was a bit more.

There is no player in sight even in 2 years remotely close to deputising let alone taking over from him.
There's no pressure, no competition, no variation. No one to come off the bench replace him and make everyone go that's the new "so so so" . . . What's even worse, his co-midfield player Micheal Ballack will be 34 in September.

Ancelotti can play a master-stoke. . . .Move Mikel Obi to Lampard's position.

We also have a dude that can come off the bench and play, his name is Juliano Belletti, he'll be 34 on June 20th . . . .

Gary Neville does that for us and he's 30-whatever.
Wes Brown is also 30.
Nateevs, age is just a number. How old was Makelele when he was playing the best football of his life as a defensive midfielder for Chelsea?

Name me one team in Europe that dominates it's league and Europe that have such a very "dynamic" midfield. And you are talking about filling his shoes. Why don't we just retire that position for Lampard for life. If there's no one that can fill his shoes, how come Chelsea have not won everything alive?

Man Utd play Giggs and Scholes in their midfield and they dominate.
It's really about the hunger and the fire in the belly of these players, not so much with the age.
The Inter players aren't youngsters as well. Zanetti is 36 but he was the best full-back on the pitch in both legs.

You guys worship JM and awe at Alex's achievements. One of their biggest secrets is that they never think no one can fill anyone's great shoes. They never dwell on one thing for too long. They move on.
According to Ibime, because Lampard provides sure 20 goals a season he should not be moved on.

Finally, i agree with this.
SAF is not scared to tweak his team if he realises plan A ain't working.
I think Chelsea needs to tweak the team a little bit and they also need to groom more youngsters.

Our midfield is old. Simple as!
Change it or self-destruct.

Inter's midfield could be older. . . . .Letz not dwell on this loss too much.
I doubt Inter woulda beaten a Chelsea side with Cech, A. Cole, Essien and Bosingwa fully-fit.
The width Cole and Bosingwa provide woulda destroyed Inter Milan and Essien woulda destroyed Sneijder.

Come on . . . the only guys that do the 'send the bar-tender to give her a drink' move are guys that lack game.
You talk to her first then offer to by her a drink, there's nothing wrong with that. . .

Most babes won't give you such audience if you don't have anything to offer at first.
It's the nature of the environment that sparks this gesture. . . . If you meet a babe in a bus-stop(U offer her a ride). . . . .If you meet a babe in a club(U must offer her a drink). . . . .It does not mean you want her in bed or whatever evil plans you have up in your skull.

Maybe it's you that needs to scrub your dirty mind.
Guys offer other guys drinks as well. . . . .Does it mean they wanna sleep with them?
Eldee, you need deliverance.

It's 2010 . . . smoothness is what's cool now.

Fair enough but there's nothing suggestive in buying a drink for anyone even a stranger.

Jigga has game jare . . . he's not like you

Which game?
Legend has it that he started Beyonce runs with a love-letter.

Akolawole:
JM will win 6 within that donkey years. FACT in fact Ian Dowie can do it.

JM can never win the UCL with Inter Milan or Chelsea.
He will have to go to Barcelona or Man Utd to achieve that.
Besides, the era of Fergie/Wenger is different to what we have now.
Only league champions played in the Champions League in those days which means Chelsea wouldn't have participated in 2004/5 when Jose arrived because Chelsea finished 2nd in the previous season.

omar22:
The first one after 13 years in charge of united, the 2nd one after 22 years,  JM got cl finals after 3 years of his managerial career

How many times are we going to remind you herbs that English clubs were banned in Europe when SAF arrived in Man Utd?
He won a European cup in his first attempt in 90/91 beating Barcelona in the Final.

omar22:
SAF built an image off the back of DAVID BECKHAM… Manchester United made millions of the back of the East Londoner…, What’s the difference in the 30m Jose paid on Milito and SAF 32m he paid on Berbatov or 28m he paid on Veron, 18m on Hargreaves and Anderson?

This statement is highly retarded.
By the time Beckham became a senior player, United had won 2 league titles and one European cup under Ferguson.
Anyone saying United made millions of the back of Beckham is a simpleton. . . .stop copying and pasting rubbish to make useless points.
United made money from their success on the football pitch.

Akolawole:
1) Within how many years?

It's not a matter of how long but how well.
Jose hasn't been in a European final in SIX years and you see him as a messiah?
How come?

2) Is this really important? Do you remember mighty jets of Jos?

Winning is the name of the game.
SAF has won 2 UCL titles. . . . .FACT!

Akolawole:
How many years does it take SAF to do ? Is JM off such radar?

SAF have won 4 titles in Europe.
He has managed to get his teams to 5 finals in Europe.
Not a bad statistics, is it?

eldee:
TBH, the only girls that still appreciate this are broke chics that are too tight to buy their own drinks.
This is 2010 for God's sake, the world is prolly coming to an end in two years . . . y'all have only two years to get smart.

U are mad. . . . .Every babe appreciates kind gestures.
As long as a man is not brash about it, everything ticks on nicely.

Even pop divas don't like it . .

Pop divas can suck ma toes.

Sending me a drink ain't appeasing
Believe me

Upgrade You

Jigga prolly started his move by buying Bey a glass of JD/Coke.

I am very very very impressed.
Keep it up.

Maybe they shouldn't.

They shouldn't what?

Princek12:
Mind you, I am not saying that buying women drinks is categorically wrong, but what I am saying is that buying a drink should be a gesture aimed at enhancing a blissful encounter, where both parties are enjoying a reciprocated favorable attitude. Buying a drink should not be aimed at appeasing a girl or to convince or force her to talk to you. Save your money, idiots.

When men are trying to be nice, they are idiots.
When men try to keep to themselves, they are uptight.

Men can't win, can they?

Another super dive from Henry!!!
Barca players are worse than Jose Mourinho's team.

Name em. . . you prolly havent seen DD crossing the ball from the wing cos he rarely does it. . . .

Bosingwa
Gary Neville
Ashley Young
Aaron Lennon(this season) . . . .David Bentley
Gamst Pedersen

Pienaar
Giggsy
Modric
Nani
Valencia

Ibime:
hahahaha. . . . I couldnt get all these lyrics cos of the delivery. . . but now Im reading em, I gotta say that CANIBUS needs to retire.

Where's Sauron at?

This is mad!!!

He learnt from Canibus. . . . .

Na only u go see dive. Armed robber oshi! 

It was a blatant dive!!
The referee shook his head when he saw Iniesta go down like a LovePeddler.

What a dive by Iniesta!!!!

Pedro scores. . . . .Barca 2-0 Stuttgart!

BlueDiva:
Do we call SAF a dullard?
It took him 9yrs to win again.

His winning was in the hands of the gods, not his own efforts.

SAF has done it TWICE in elite Europe. . . .
Jose should repeat it as well.

Ibime:
^^^Nah. . . you lot are getting it wrong. . . DD can drop a cross pinpoint on his teammates head. . . he doesnt even need much backlift to cross the ball. . . . I have no doubt that DD is the best crosser in the Prem, if not close to it. . . just watch when he pulls out to the right wing. . . it is this same technique that allows to place a freekick in the top corner.

I can name 10 better crossers of the ball in this league than DD.
DD ko, Va-Va ni.

BlueDiva:
Can Stoke afford his wages?

Why not?
Notts County will pay Mourinho's wages.

Don't blame the player, blame da game !!!  
The rich clubs will kill to have him. Ain't his fault.

Just like the rich clubs will kill to have Carlos Queiroz but he's an assistant in Man Utd.

It took SAF 9yrs to win in Europe again.
Let's don't even go into the luck thing.

Give JM time.

So how's he special if we have to give him time to play in a European final again?
Special managers should be playing in the final every season.

You attended primary school in Allen right, what school?

Haha. . . .correct guy.
U will know ZOEYS then.

dayokanu:
Actually I supported FC porto on that day and jubilated crazily when Costinha scored. Right now 7 seasons after seeing how Jose is going about the Chelsea god image I wished Manure had won on that March 2004 night.

We did enough to win but a visually-impaired line assistant made sure United did not progress.
Scholesy's perfect goal was disallowed to have made it 2-0 at OT in the first half.

Porto equalised in the last minute and United couldn't do anything to salvage the match.
Not to talk of the number of times Porto players were diving to stop United's flow throughout the game.

BlueDiva:
Benitez who hasn't managed the EPl in six yrs?
The same man battling for 5th place?

JM never goes to any club without winning the league.
At worst, he'll come 2nd.

JM haters have no case abeg.

This is because he aims for football clubs that work with finished products.
I want to see Jose Mourinho pick a team from scratch and develop them into world beaters like Rijkaard, SAF, Hitzfeld and Wenger have all done.

FFS, i realised Jose Mourinho is a fluke after Avram fuckin Grant took Chelsea to UCL final.
Grant had no coaching badge when he was Terry's penalty kick away from winning the biggest competition in Europe.

ritchboy:
Ibime
be astounded not. . . Crossing is the easiest skill in football. It only requires putting the ball in the right area. . .

It takes 2 good players to make a cross.
The most useless cross can be made beautiful if the recipient latches on to it and score.
The most beautiful cross can be made useless if the intended target does not read the cross and connect with it.

Drogba's crossing looks pretty because his team-mates get to the end of it and execute.
Nani's cross to Rooney against Fulham was a fluke but Rooney scored from it cos he timed the situation perfectly.

Off Allen for where? You sabi First bank bus stop?
One of my Aunties used to live there. I think she was Nosa Igiebors(TELL magazine) neighbour.

You sabi Ipodo?
Any guy man here sabi Ipodo "where things dey happen"

For Real?
I lived in Ikeja for a while then Moved to the Ogba area.
I passed Allen Avenue area everyday on my way to school.

What circa? 90s or 2000s?

Obviously you never accounted em' cuz of the area you resided in.
But come oooo, I'm not too sure about this cuz i've been to every posh area in the Lagos and you'll still find mosquitoes there.

Anyone who claims not to have encountered mosquitoes in Nigeria is an unrepentant liar.
There were mosquitoes in Dodan Barracks where IBB and Maryam used to reside.

BlueDiva:
Good side my foot.
When last did they reach the semis in the UCL?

When last did Bayern Munich reach the semis in the UCL?
Does that mean they are not a great side?

Which other decent competitors do they have in their league.
Portuguese league is not amongst the top 5, sorry!!!

It is not their league that won it. . . . .Porto won it and they were a decent side in 2004.

According to you guys, without the UCL a team ain't great.
JM made Porto great. i don't see Porto winning the UCL in the next 20years.

It's the other way round. . . . .Porto made Jose Mourinho great!!!
He has not played in a European final since he left Porto. . . .

Amodu will win six trophies with the Barca team.
Pep is a glory-hunter too, using your theory.

The season before Guardiola arrived, Barcelona did not win any title in Spain.
Guardiola arrived and tweaked the squad a bit and they won six trophies in 12 months.

Someday, JM will manage the United team.
then i trust you to start hyping him.  

We don't want bad publicity.
Guardiola will manage Man Utd before Jose Mourinho.

ritchboy:
Eastbay
didnt you see the part where i said Gerrard should have been sent off?
My point is: Either you attack the ref for not sending him off, or attack the rule. What you cant do is attack the FA for not taking action against Gerrard and allege conspiracy, when it is the same for every other incident/player.

They bend their rules to suit their own selfish interests.
Remember Ben Thatcher's elbow on Pedro Mendes? Thatcher hit Mendes with an elbow and got a yellow card for it.
The FA reviewed it and thought it was a RED card and they banned him for 4 games.
Jermaine Beckford's yellow was also overturned some seasons ago after the media raised a shytestorm over the incident. . . .

chamotex:
Chamotex's Demolition Tactics

Team & formation: (4-4-2) VDS, Rafael, Rio, Vida, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Fletcher, Park, Rooney, Berbatov

Approach : Berbatov's performance agaibst Fulham was astounding. . . I see no reason to drop him. Let's go out and attack these bloody scousers. Move the ball fast and penetrate down the wings. Nani should get at Insua like a raving mad dog. We should keep it tight.

Team-talk:Lets go out and put one over this Spanish Fat Waiter and these bloody scousers . . . don't let yourselves down!

Prediction: 3-1 United.

We cannot play 4-4-2 against Liverpool and get away with it.
They will pack their midfield with 5 players and take control in the middle of the pack.
Hargo's injury has turned us into playing 5 in the midfield to seize control of the most important area of the pitch.

4-5-1 is the way to go. . . . .When attacking, it becomes 4-3-3.
If we play Carrick, Fletcher and Scholes/JS Park across the middle, we will neutralise Liverpool and hit them like a tornado.
The KEY is the midfield. Berbatov should start from the bench.
