Even if we beat Milan and end up getting through to the final there are plenty of refs who can guarantee the desired outcome - as we have seen time and again in the past. Whole thing is rigged from top to bottom, teh only things left to chance are those which make no odds.
That's the big clubs fault though (including ourselves), they want to make sure they get to the latter stages for financial reasons, as for winning it well there's much better sides than us, Barca and Real are just two teams who are miles ahead of us and the best team should win the competition at the end of the day.

If we didn't settle for 4th place all the time we might actually have an outside chance, but hey ho it's not meant to be.
