It is for a proper club. It's pretty pointless fining a club who are flouting the rules because they've got so much money they can do what they like.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
It's more like a bribe to UEFA so they can keep on doing whatever the hell they like.
Bale and Ronaldo should be fit for the final.
Diego Costa is a big doubt.
Football could be on life support tbh

Think Real Madrid will win it unfortunately.
Sky are showing the 2006 final today.
Still haven't gotten round to watching it fully.Think Real Madrid will win it unfortunately.

Probably never will..
I thought I'd try to be brave but as soon as I turned it on I thought fuck this shit.
That game along with the Birmingham Eduardo leg break, are two of the most painful games for me to watch.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
As painful as it was the disappointment of the result was somewhat offset by the excitement of being there.
Although...as FY is to the Emirates, I am to European finals. Missed the ones in 94 and 95 'cos of Uni (therefore no-one can blame me for '95) but I was at the UEFA Final in 2000 and the CL Final in 2006.
So...sorry everyone.
You monster.
