Even with Xmas tree... do you think we have any chance vs. Barcelona, Real Madrid,
Inter or Chelsea?
I don't think so.
Since when have Inter become a contender and a treath, if you can remeber correctly thay have always spent a lot of money on transfers but always failed and they usually get the easiest draws from the rest of the Italian teams. Inter did nothing but buy 2 strikers, 1 of them has already proven that he will fail there (Crespo, I guess he was REALLY desperate to come back to Italy for him to chose Inter) and you already know that I'm not an Ibra fan and I think that he won't have a good season at Inter. I might be wrong about this and he will have a great season but that is highly unlikely. Oh and I forgot about Virera or as dst put it Patrick unlucky Viera
We'll see what Real can do against Lyon, last year Lyon trashed Real and I know that we can't compare this season to the last one concernig Real with the signings that they have made, but for one Cappello doesn't convince me anymore especially in the CL and now we'll really see if all those signings where worth it for them.
And Chelsea proved just how beatable they are yesterday, they might spend sh!t loads of money to get all the stars but the cracks in their squad have already started to show with Lampard and Ballack reportedly not being the best of friends and some of the players that where already there like Lampard and Terry have already started to show that they are not happy with the difference between their salaries and the ones Sheva and Ballack have.
Barca imo oppinion are the only ones that I consider being the biggest treath for us, they reinforced their weakpoints and didn't try to scoop up any new supertars just strengthened what was already a very strong team.
I don't know why people don't like the xmas tree so much in 02/03 we played a lot of games with that formation and look where that got us, yep qe won the CL, and even in 04/05 we played a lot of games with that formation especially when Sheva had to have surgery in his face
