Ruud will always score, wherever and whenever. If only Van Basten would acknowledge that. Would you have preffered to keep Ruud in Manchester?

yes if he wasnt disrupting chemistry

no if he was...

I get the feeling he was a bad apple in the clubhouse, i cant imagine why else fergie would sell the most lethal finisher in the world, honestly people used to say ruud could only score tap ins and headers, this year he has scored goals from all over the pitch and his link up play has been superb...
 
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!real madrid 4-3 espanyol!!

RAUL THE BEST
 
Very good game ....very entertaining (por favor sostenga Reyes el jugo bueno esta noche y tome baptista también :) )
 
nah...reyes to arsenal again..i don't like him this year...baptista yes,back to madrid JULIO!!
 
well most people have written off madrid the last couple of years, but ever since ronaldo left they have for me, been the best team in europe... YEP, i said it. Bring it.
 
RealMadrid pure class you deserve the title,( Ruud inside the box like no other) Hala!Hala Madrid!!



D.Beckham what a soldier running and leaping take note Bentley
 
Your manager, especially your president, is so pathetic by asking to buy back Beckham's contract with the Galaxy (which was rejected amicably). The management had spoken very bad words about Beckham in the past, even saying "I will never play you again", and now they're licking their own spit by saying those wonderful words about him. Good on Beckie, prove to those pathetic people that they will regret everything they said about him previously.

Anyway, good win and I hope real win the last game :)
 
Real Madrid's management are all a bunch of twats. You do know they've signed Fabregas, Ronaldo and Kaka right? Theyre all on loan at their current clubs.

hmm i think you could have said that a few years ago, but brining capello has been a great move, the following signings have been great as well, ruud, emerson, diarra, robihino, etc.. Maybe they same some outlandish shit to the press so i agree with you there, but i dont think there ALL twats

i agree on that. probaly predrag and calderon are a lil unexperienced, but they're learning very fast. the way they handled the capello situation was perfect, trying to calm down the fans and remarking their trust in don fabio :applause: ....their signings have been great, as gomito says... never saw real buying the right players for the right spot in the past... and florentino's philosophy (zidanes y pavones) was really ridiculous. then this year real bought emerson, diarra and cannavaro... a total change of direction!
too bad the fan didn't appreciate it :roll:

what u're talking about, milanista isn't a real management responsability... it's a spanish media responsability.... but we all know spanish media :mrgreen:

maybe u're angry for calderon pressing on kakà, and i can understand u...... but didn't galliani did the same thing with barca, talking about ronaldinho? ;)
 
Good luck to Real on Sunday, really impressed how they have turned things around, with a great team performance (compared to Barcas attitude)....

Also Capello has impressed me, I thought he was too stuborn earlier in the season, refusing to try another style, and writing a few players off too soon....

and actually he IS STUBBORN ;) . this (and the his lack of "human touch") are his biggests weak points. if he just were a little more persuadable, he would be by far the best coach in europe, but afterall, nobody's perfect ;)
moreover we got to admit he was very wise calling back beckham. :)

in the past few years (actually more than just "a few") real madrid was just an all stars team..... well, actually the word "team" didn't even fit real madrid.
what capello is doing now is an absolute revolution.... wich involves the way the club operates (not just the gameplay)..... and it will take a lot of time, probably.
if they will let him do his job (and if those stupid, biased, ignorant and non polite media will leave him alone) Capello will lead real madrid to the top of europe once again..... but this time not just because of their great stars and "divas" :)
 
Top of Spain sure, but Capello being Capello will suck in Europe.

Besides his lack of 'human touch' as you say and being stubborn, he is also extremely outdated. Football has moved on, and Capello hasn't.
 
if i have to be honest, mate, i don't think so.
i mean wich should be "the new football"? Ryikaard football?? the real differences between riykaard and capello are: ronaldinho, messi, iniesta, deco, xavi, zambrotta, eto'o. riykaard has them, capello doesn't.
but if u deeply look at riykaard football, u'll realize he's more "outdated" than fabio... (did anybody said man coverage?:mrgreen: )

his stubborness is a huge weak point.... but this year (in the past few months) he showed us he's not so stubborn (he really surprised me).

and talking about his football.... let's be honest, is ther any coach in europe better than him talking about tactics?

last time football "moved on", the last big revolution in football, imho, was 15 years ago.. i'm talking about Sacchi revolution. that was a real change in football.

honestly i'm not a big fan of capello. if i'd have to choose the best coaches in europe atm, my first pick would be ancelotti, then lippi, then spalletti, then prandelli (i really hope nobody will consider me biased, but that's my honest opinion :roll: ).. so as u can see my idea of football is pretty different from capello's one.
but i do respect him a lot... afterall he's probably the most winning coach in the world (after trap).:)
 
Rijkaard ?! Hey, don't insult my intelligence !:mrgreen:
Rijkaard's coaching is almost non-existant.

Anyway, back to Capello. If you compare Capello to more 'modern' coaches, such as Benitez and Wenger; Capello was totally outcoached when they met, during respectively juve vs liverpool and juve vs arsenal. That Juventus was squad was among the best, if not the best squad in the world(especially the one facing Arsenal), and to be knocked out so helplessly was so indicative of Capello's old-fashioned tactics. Drowning in defence and creating almost no chances, letting the techincal players suffers and creating almost no chances. He needed a keeper blunder, to even get past freaking Werder Bremen, before facing Arsenal.

Capello is all about winning by waiting for and profiting of the other team's mistake(example;werder bremen blunder), he wants to win and how; hoe does not care. This works great in league games, where both teams fight for points. In direct knock-out competitions though, he has proven to always fall short (except with Milan, but that side was... well you know :D).

His record is undeniable and he is winner, but to me he is coach with some majour faults.

well mate, honestly i find a little tough to consider rafa a "modern" coach. comparing capello's tactical knoledge to rafa's one.... well let's just say i really disagree with u on that :mrgreen:
moreover the same rafa often said his model was sacchi (wich is an insult to sacchi imo :mrgreen: ).
i'm not disrespecting benitez, but capello imo is on another level.
i don't think cups (like champions league) are a good "turf" to evaluate a coach's ability. single match tournament are something really special, those kind of competitions involve a lot of factors (coolness, confidence, fear of losing). i think that the leagues are the real test for a coach, and talking about this, capello is the master.

capello's teams are like a diesel. it takes time for a team to understand exactly what he wants by his players... and it takes even more time to do it; the situation was pretty different at juventus coz juventus philosophy was very close to capello's one, so when capello came in torino the change wasn't so radical.
but real madrid needed a reconstruction imo, and that's why, when he came in madrid, the first thig he said was "give me time and u'll start seeing some changes in a couple of months (optimistic forecast :mrgreen: ).

but Don, don't misunderstand capello. he's not a defensive coach (like benitez or trapattoni). he just has pure passion for balance. his teams are PERFECT in defence (when his players perfectly apply his game plan... wich is not easy), they never do any mistake talking about positioning (and that's why u might have the feeling he's a defensive coach)...... but if u look carefully, u'll see his side defenders flying, and by noticing this u'll realize his game plan is not a defensive game plan ;)
we could say his approach to the match is the approach of a chess player.

let's put it this way. if i have to choose what match follow, then i prefere to see wenger's football, schaaf's football, puel's football, spalletti's football. but if i'd have to choose the coach for my team, then i would pick capello with no hesitation. :D

anyway that's just my opinion, and of course, i could be totally wrong :D
 
if you've got sky head over to real madrid tv channel 446 and see what they have planned for 9.40 and 11pm tonight :)
