Luxemburgo actually didn't go a bad job, he just got a team that was, as you said, all stars and they have any chemistry but he tried to bring different players and end this "Galactico" thing. The reason he failed is because he did too little too late. Next year Real will have a better coach (possibly Capello) who will get players that are good for the team and not just shirt selling and Real will be grand once more.

i've heard that next year Luxemburgo will come back, but with Cappello together!
dont know if this is true,but together maybe they'll make a better Real FC!!!!

One problem here Calm the coach doesn't buy the players.The board and president does,so coach has to work with whoever they get.

Not saying this just because I support them but don't rule Liverpool out of it.Rafa has proved he's hard to beat in europe and he has a better squad this year than last.

True, but I'm sure the management doesn't arbitrary buys players without consulting with the coach.
Although, in our local league we had a local 'Galacticos' where the management bought players the coach didn't want and need and everybody were praising them saying they'll take the championship (even though we have one team that out-beats the enitre league). Their coach was fired 2 days before Luxemburgo.

Benfica beat Manchester United 2-1, Villareal beats Lille 1-0. Manchester United finish the group in 4th place.

Barca scores 2 goals in the last 5 minutes of the game beating Udinese 2-0. Werder Bremen crush Panathinaikos 5-1 and qualify.

As expected, Juve finished first and Bayern second. Arsenal first and Ajax second.

Hasn't got any better for Fergie:

Manchester United missed the chance to reclaim second place in the Premiership from Liverpool as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton at Old Trafford.

(oh dear, too bad, never mind......:1orglaugh )

Yeah but will have quite a few chance's to get it back now.Liverpool don't play again in the premiership till boxing day when we play Newcastle.

 

[poggy]

[tunsty]

I'll be at work, but I will listen to as much as I can.

I'm convinced that Alex Ferguson has a handle in the middle of his back...when it is turned, a series of gears and levers operates his jaw with that chewing motion.

A bit of a warm up match for final really.It was like watching a pre-season friendly against a team from division below them.But that's a new club record of 11 clean sheets on the trot.All 3 goals was very well taken and not just basic tap in's either.
So it's Sao Palo (don't think thats right) on Sunday for the final same time.
