Juinho is on the bench most likely cos he is kinda midfield kinda player and McClaren atm is focusing on defense more..so yea, unless playing against weark teams or what, he is usually on the bench, a big shame..

and no, u won't see Arsenal make it to final

 

[flyin']

I reckon that Real Madrid would win against Arsenal. I mean, don't underestimate Real Madrid's defence which is improvin' day by day. They have very young defenders from their youth system.

no contest at all, real wins in all departments.

 

[abdooooo!!!]

asshole will never win... in champ league. they are one of them really unliky sides in europe.

yes so does liverpool

what is this??? liverpool is the most attacking side in the league... whether or not they score is another story...

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

lol M'borough has gotta b the most attacking team in the league... if they get more chances on the ball, and score a bit more.... and another bit more.... and another....

Boro aim is to bore their opponents to death, and then when they're so bored, they counter... except their strikers don't usually get much practise at striking so their finishin' is questionable. So its back to defending.

hmmm.. except defence...

i'd rate Sol Campbell and Keown/Toure alot higher than Ivn Helguera and Ral Bravo/Oscar Miambres/Pavon.. and of course Carlos and Salgado are up the other end most of the time and consequently don't spend much time defending..

Iker is by far a better keeper than Lehman.

but how would the gunner defenders cope with the real attack? i think the real` defence can cope with the gunners attack.

nothing beats the diving of Pires

Yes, nothing beats the "artistic" diving of Pires. Except for how often and the ease with which Van Nisterooy gets dispossessed.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

maybe diving from diouf... or heavens forbit... rivaldo

also, kewell was quoted as saying something along the lines of "hey mate, its professional football, i had to dive" when replying to a defender who told kewell "i didnt touch you"

It's become an art these days, nevertheless. And one needs talent for that...

yea, i have no idea why Beckham is in there :\

like this is 03 season when he was still with Man U right? he wasn't that flashy...

 

[flyin']

Beckham's there because he looks good and can cross the ball and is at big club.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]
