You know what's ridiculous? The Glazers own Man U and they kick ass. The Glazers own TB Bucs and they can't even afford a QB

on a side note - why do Manchester United fans get upset when you use "Man U"? I've been on a couple message boards and seen people get all worked up when someone type that.

I've been a Man'u fan since old enough to watch TV and never had a problem with people calling them "Man'u"

If there are people getting funny by you calling them "Man'u" then I bet they are youngsters and possibly not from the UK as it's always been a very common term here in the UK.

:laugh: as long as they aren't in the EPL. What are they now, 2nd or 3rd division?

I actually think Chel$ki is heading in the same direction. Once the oligarch realizes he can't buy a team and have immediate success; he'll drop his investment.

I think I would have seriously busted my left testicle over a table if Kaka would have taken the 100 million pounds to play for a mediocre at best team. F'ing ridiculous....

All that money to be like 12th in the table, when teams like Everton and Aston Villa actually scout and spend their money wisely, and are doing really well this year.

The recent results just show the gap in quality between the Premiership and the rest of the European leagues at the moment.

I'm quite confident Man'u will win tonight. They have Vidic back and hopefully Rooney will play more of the game this time. That and Inter are a few players short.

Looks like there will be four English teams in the last 8, I'd be willing to bet on an all English final.

I've had pretty good luck with channelsurfing.net and atdhe.net for soccer matches - you could start there.

ESPN and ESPN2 had the CL matches the past two days (at least the ones I wanted to watch, anyway), and I'm assuming they'll carry the quarterfinals, etc.

They will all be televised from here on out...

Anyone catch the end to the Man Utd - Aston Villa game? Un-effing-believable...

Hi - I am 17 and playing in my first game ever...

What are you talking about? That's a game between the AIGs and the 32REDs.

I heard that Pirelli and Samsung Mobile are pretty good teams too.

The 32 Reds are now the Acorns...

That's how powerful Acorns is. First they get Obama elected, then they start sponsoring soccer teams...

The thing about the CL is it ends in a knockout, so if you're good enough to get to that stage, you can win the whole thing with a short run of luck. You can never win a 40 game points league like that. That's why Liverpool can't win the premiership.

/disclainer: not a Man U fan...
