Real Madrid are nothing without Mourinho.

You'll get banned from the Utd board!

Looking forward to that.

I was just thinking of writing an article myself, but I doubt too many people would be interested, so I'll just ask the question here:

Can anyone see R.Madrid failing to qualify for the CL this season?

Right now, we're only 3 points ahead of Betis and 6 ahead of Malaga, while Valencia are now 7 behind and climbing.

I know it sounds unthinkable with the squad at our disposal, but stranger things have happened.

We've won just one out of our last 4, and that was a very scrappy 4-3 home win against R.Sociedad. Our upcomping fixture list isn't that bad, but right now every game looks like a struggle and every team we face looks a lot more up for it than us.

How long will Flo allow us to keep on dropping points in La Liga before he makes Mou walk the plank?

He'll go for sure if United knock us out, but supposing we go through. Will he cling onto Mou as long as our CL hopes are alive, or is there a cut-off point in terms of our league position?

=============================

I very much doubt it.


If Madrid are knocked out, i don't see Mou lasting. But he will be taking another big chunk of pay-off money and next season or so, he will arm his way into another high-profile position.

No matter how disastrous our season turns out to be, Mourinho will have a good number of top-drawer takers.

I'm totally against the idea of him going with a huge wad of our money in his pocket, but how much damage can we afford him to do?

Don't worry iaog, Malaga can't compete in CL next season so Real is safe.

The only way Real knocksout Utd is if Mourinho gets the wine lover red nose plastered night before the match so he can squeeze the tactics out of him..

Ohterwise it's a 50-50 match, Ronaldo will probably be double marked by Rafael and Valencia and if you stop Ronaldo you are more or less safe.

We have Callejon.

True, but he won't start, will he?

I hope Madrid don't go after our Rafa.

We have so many possible combinations under Mou.

He could start in place of Ronaldo.

Adan in place of Casillas.

Carhalvo and Varane CBs.

Essien at RB.

Albiol in place of Khedira.

etc.

You are right in majority of those genius combinations bar 2 of them, he would never ever bench his boys Ronaldo and Pepe.

Sandro Rosell - Barca President "There have been some offensive approaches from City, at all levels of the structure of the club but no one wants to go. They wanted to fish here but there were no fish left"

Pepe might be out through injury, but I guess you're right about Crissy.

Rosell has Barça chairman syndrome.

==============================

You mean like Bayern?

Shrek and the flying dutchman upfront, can't see Utd not scoring at least 2 on bernabeu.

Hopefully Vidić injury isn't a major one.

nope they play nothing like bayern...bayern control matches with their midfield..utd definitely dont do that !

Peks, don't you mind Mou walking off with another €20M of ours in his pockets?

Real should get Míchel, he would be soooo good for them.

To stop Man Utd you just have to stop them from crossing or getting corners.

Barry, Arbeloa and Coentrao are the fb's, there will be plenty of crosses and corners

------------Casillas------
Arbeloa--------------------Coentrao
Ramos----------------------Marcelo
Essien-----------------------Pepe
Khedira----------------------Alonso
Di Maria---------------------Ronaldo


That should just about do it

Casillas a little too central there

Alternatively we could make the pitch round for the tie.
