Due to lack of activity/active players, I have decided to finish the predictions and just change this into a place football can be discussed amongst those of us who follow the sport away from the general chat. I'll probably bring it back for EURO 2012 :)

I read something recently where Richard Gough said he doubled his wages moving from Spurs to Rangers. How times have changed now.
Here's the article: Richard Gough
It's a real eye-opener as to the state of football today and how a great club can implode in a short period of time. I just hope Rangers can get back to somewhere like they used to be and challenge Celtic for the title once again.
Looks like Real Madrid are going to retain the trophy, 3-1 up with 20 minutes to go.

This season is the 6th in a row that Ronaldo has scored at least 10 goals in the Champion's League. I can't stand the vain idiot as a person (let's face it he opened a museum dedicated to himself) but you can't argue he's one of the greatest footballers ever.
Hard to argue with those thoughts.
Only saw the 2nd half but I was disappointed in June. And far too much rolling around from both teams.

The first half was a lot closer than the first but overall I enjoyed the match, even though like you say there was a lot of playacting and overreacting, but that's to be expected from continental players these days. The sooner the authorities bring in retrospective bans for trying to con the ref the better.
But well done to Real Madrid for their 12th win, which is Zidane's 5th trophy in just 18 months. The question today is was that Bale's last game for Real? The question should be why would he want to leave?
Bad news for my local team Ilkeston Town as they've been wound up due to a £15,000 outstanding bill they can't pay.
The chairman has said he's going to appeal but it looks like Ilkeston will no longer have a football team :(

Quite sad, especially with the money being thrown about at the top.

Rooney earns £1,488.10 per hour 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so it takes him 11 hours to earn £15,000. Just shows the gulf that has opened up in football these days.
I was really pleased to see that Craig Shakespeare has signed a 3-year contract to be the permanent manager of Leicester, he really deserves it after his performance last season.
If they perform like they did at the end of last season they'll be pushing for the title or Europe again!

One of these vastly overpaid players could save that club and not even notice the loss of earnings. But they won't.
That is a ridiculous salary Rooney is on.
I think Man Utd have made a big mistake in not offering Ibrahimovic another contract. OK he's out until early next year but look at the impact he had last season.
I know he's soon to turn 36 but he's still one of the best strikers in the world and even if he couldn't make the whole 90 minutes any more he could still have been a "super-sub".
I know Mourinho doesn't make many mistakes but I feel he has made a big one this time.
