its rediculous how much of a hard on people have for the two spanish teams. Like people just fail to believe that they could ever lose and are simply the best.

Bayern is best team in the world, and they're about to add Pep Guardiola and Mario Gotze.....they're the new Barca.
That said, I can't stand them:
1) They have three of the biggest diving prima donnas in the world (Ribery, Robben, Lahm)
2) They pulled a dirty trick to try to unnerve their rivals Dortmund; they bought Gotze two weeks ago, agreed to not announce until after the season, and then--on the eve of Dortmund's match w Madrid--they leak the deal, not only to cause problems in the Dortmund fanbase and locker room, but to take the focus off the Bayern president turning himself in for tax evasion.
I hope they get crushed for the third straight year in the final.

I haven't had many chances to watch Dortmund this year but when I have they've never failed to be entertaining.

amen. i hate bayern. they play dortmund may 16th in league play, and the champions league final is usually right around that week too. im guessing since the league is clintched that game will be used to rest people, although dortmund might want to make a statement. bayern play well together, i think most of them have been there for more than a few years, but lets not get carried away with the barca comparisions, i dont think anyone can replicate what they did from like 08-11

Why can't they? They added Javi Martinez and now Gotze; they've added Guardiola, who was the maestro of the Barcelona attack for those years you mentioned; Mueller is entering his prime, Schweinsteiger is a beast, Dante is becoming a serious force in the back line. This team is ridiculously good and unlike Barca, they are making a profit. They'll be able to buy without selling, whereas Barca is massively in debt.

i just dont think they are as good to be honest. they are almost there. barca is in a serious spiral tho, they still have the midfield but man their defense and goal scorers have been awful. i feel like messi is the only person that can score anymore. ribery and robben, faggots, are getting old an i dont respect them at all. id take messi, iniesta, pedro, or cesc over them. im interested to see how much bayern changes with pep

Sir Alex Ferguson has announced his retirement as manager of Manchester United. However, due to Fergie Time, he will continue to manage the team until the 5th match of next season.

Looks like David Moyes (Everton manager) will be named the new manager within the next 36 hours. United said the new manager was already in place.

Why, because the tabloids say he's leaving?
If that were the case, Ronaldo would have been back at United two years ago, Cavani and Falcao would both be at city right now, etc. The tabloids over there print every possible rumor they can, hoping to be the first to get one right. Wazza and Moyes had a falling out but they've mended that relationship. He will likely stay and work w the new manager, unless there's a chance we can get Ronaldo back....that's the only way I see us selling him, and even then I don't see how we sell him to Chelski. Only way we sell him is to PSG or Bayern.

I am at a loss for words. This could very well be the end for Wayne Rooney at United, especially if the rumors of PSG offering an absurd amount of money for him is true.
youre the tabloids
