...about someone else spending too much on players and inflating transfer fees, how f*cking ironic is that?

 

Calderon has got a point of course, but for them to be the ones to make it is just beyond ridiculous when its been them doing exactly the same for God only knows how long. Aw diddums, is someone spending more money than you.

 

I hate Madrid so much, I really do. They are a truly odious club; like United but even more arrogant.

 

Madrid Snivelling

Arrogant but not THAT arrogant. And unlike Man U they have something to be arrogant about.

 

Like what? They've won even less than United in the last 3 years, and it doesn't look like changing this season.

9 European Cups for a start.

I think people forget that they won the first four european cups when they were the only team in it.

How so?

 

A slight exaggeration that they were the only team in it, but the point about less teams is correct.

 

They won it at least four, I think maybe five times when there were only about four teams in the competition during its formative years.

 

We are actually the most succesful team in European competition during the last 30 years; more succesful than even Madrid.

Trying to write off Real Madrid's early European Cup wins in this way is exactly the same as when Man U fans try and write-off our (and presumably their own) pre-"champions league"/"premier league" wins.

 

The Real Madrid team which won 5 European Cups in the late 50s/early 60s is one of the greatest teams ever to play the game.

Although it's arguably still harder to win it back in their day than now

Well needless to say Cobs it was a little before my time, ie 20 years before I was born, so my details are a little sketchy.

 

There were much fewer teams in it weren't there? Please feel free to correct me on the numbers...

before my time too but it's not hard to look up

Yes I wouldn't imagine it would be.

 

However at that point in time I couldn't be arsed. 16 teams then - still not many and I bet they walked into the last four without having to play anyone half decent.

 

Anyway not trying to belittle Madrid's achievements, they are the European Champions of all time as it stands. I just can't stand the arrogant b*stards that's all...
