    I hope that's not because I tweeted Talk Sh!te with that suggestion :emoticon-0136-giggl. They had one of their polls 'Who should be the next Madrid Manager, Poch, Maureen, The Myoptic one and Other'. I voted for 'Other' and suggested it would suit Klipperty as the grass is short in the Bernabau and there is less wind than at Klanfield.

    Did Real Madrid spend all that money they must have earned through all the years in the CL and European Cup on players and wages? Surely they must have a couple of Euros left in the bank?

    Their wage bill was 414 million euros annually prior to selling CR7.

    Well,maybe they haven't got a couple of Euros left! Makes you wonder where Juventus are getting the cash to pay CR7.

    Grass is always greener (and shorter, and less windy)
    on the other side of the fence.

    Why does everyone seem to be writing Utd off tonight?
    They're not favourites, by any means, but a two goal win isn't completely impossible.
    PSG bottled a much bigger lead against Barca.

    I want them to remain in the CL for as long as Spurs do
    or until Spurs have guaranteed a PL top 4 finish.

    Well the pundits I'm watching seem to be crying into their hankies because of the Man U injuries. I guess no one else gets injured?

    So nice for the BBC to ask if Man Utd can turn around their tie against PSG, which is the exact opposite of what they were asking about us yesterday...

    Players of Ronaldo's stature pay for themselves though. Shirt sales, sponsorships and merchandise more than cover pretty much any wage they want to demand, and clubs know that. How they can afford to pay Aaron Ramsey similar is what shocks me, unless they see zero shirt sales as some sort of weird marketing reverse-psychology.

    Utd's bench includes Garner, Chong, Gomes and Greenwood. They must be very confident of progress, I guess... <whistle>

    Sounds like a panel on University Challenge.
