About as stupid as someone who predicts Lille to beat united and Roma to beat united with Totti playing a blinder.

Hmm - I didn't predict Roma to beat United "with Totti playing a blinder".

I thought Roma would win the tie though.

You didn't beat Lille in my eyes - it was a scandal.

THAT WAS a 100% CLEAR goal!

We have gone over this before, The Lille player pushed Vidic, so it was a foul. Some refs might not have give it, but he clearly pushed him, there probably was not enough force to make him go down, but there was contact.

Giggs goal, if the Lille players didnt foul Saha, we wouldnt have had the free kick in the first place. Why should we wait for them to set up the wall, when they fouled us to stop us from scoring.

Ps Lille were bunch of scumbags who went to find an UEFA official to complain about the goal to.

Still doesn't mean Kimbo isn't right - 40 million is a huge amount to spend on two players. Money only Utd and Chelsea can spend unfortunately.

Still don't see the point though - Utd got to the position their in through good club management.

Ok, they bought the two players but I doubt he'd have made the same point if Drogba and Essien had won and they both cost a combined fee of £50m

You can say whatever you want - Vidic fell down like a pussy, and that goal though legitimate was definitely unfair. But what's done is done, and Utd deserved to win over the two legs.

Just shows the hegemony of the big 4 - that two players can probably cover Bolton's entire transfer spending over 100 years.

Only if Chelsea fans were going "look at our young players, aren't we great", as if they're academy products.

Your club has enough money to win the league (assuming you go out of all the cups early and have few injuries-like Arsenal in the unbeaten season).

We're not THAT rich, we couldn't spend £20m on a player, let alone £30m. There's no way we have enough money to win the league, not anymore.

Didn't you try and buy Rooney, and you were outbid, or he turned you down?

Kimbo if Ronaldo and Rooney went to Newcastle, Ronaldo would be playing like Viana did for you and Rooney would be on the treatment table like Owen.

Ronaldo cost £5m less than Owen so you could have bought him, Rooney cost £3m more than Owen (if you take into account the inital fee) and you tried to buy him, so stop complaining about money.

United made Ronaldo the player he is now, Robben and Reyes were all at the same level a few years back abilty wise, now look at were they are now compared to Ronaldo.

You could if you bought well then sold for profit and then bought well again - good long term management is the key. Your club has the money to pay the top wages to keep the top players. All you need to do is spot the top players early enough to buy them - if they become too big then sell and then buy a fairly young but competent replacement and strengthen the squad with the rest of the money. If you do this you can challenge look at Roma, Fiorentina. It is possible if you have some could academy players (even if you get them young like Arsenal).

Drogba has consistently shown pace, power, touch, skill, passing, aerial ability, positioning, free kick technique, good shooting technique, finishing and awareness of others.
Whereas C.Ronaldo has consistently shown pace, power, touch, lot of skills, dribbling, some crossing, finishing, and some awareness of others.

Kimbo doesnt want to look at solutions to his clubs troubles, he finds it easier to blame the CL money (despite Newcastles squad costing £10 less than Arsenals) than his for club continuosly wasting money on rubbish managers and players.

You can't compare Ronaldo to Viana, he was always alot more talented. And it's not just Newcastle he's failed at it's also Valencia.

We'll have to agree to disagree because i give Sporting and Everton more credit for their development, it was them that made them.
