When they play each other I take it in a case-by-case basis, but this evening I have to get behind the underdogs. Also, back in April at the quarter final stage, Noel Gallagher said that he'd like to face Inter in the final because Lukaku is 'dreadful'. It would be quite funny to see that come back to bite him. Seems like Noel Gallagher knows his football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,678 Posted June 10, 2023 Odd that Haaland wasn’t a particularly big player in either final, it just shows that you might keep him quiet but they have plenty else to hurt you with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,542 Posted June 10, 2023 Pleased for Citeh. Inter were a typical cynical Italian side, tough to handle for any team not used to playing that type of football and although not a vintage performance, deserved the win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conrad 178 Posted June 11, 2023 7 hours ago, TheDarkKnight said: And another offshoot of the narrative is calling Pep the greatest manager of all time. Do people not realize that Sir Alex Ferguson, not only broke up the Old Firm duopoly, he also beat Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, back to back, to win a European trophy. The Manchester United of Ferguson's era are very similar to the current Manchester City. Both bought up the best talent at the time and both had/have a very good manager. Without both it is not possible to be successful in the Premier League. If it was, Chelsea would have won a lot more in recent years. Newcastle may break through and become successful given the money that they now have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Manchester United's wealth was earnt though; the money they had was a result of their success, which they built on to increase commercial revenue. Manchester City's is purely a result of external funding, just like Chelsea's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even we ourselves are currently reliant on Parachute Payments, a form of external funding. Then there is TV money, not negotiated by ourselves but distributed throughout the league.
