I'm sure Mr. "Man U" the Manchester Galactico is not too concerned with the proper spelling of Atleti.

Still don't know how anyone can support two clubs.

Autocorrect.

As for the two clubs - I'm actually a Man Utd fan at heart. RM is 2nd because 1st off they play in a different league and secondly, the ex-ManUtd players they've had.

In an average year Manchester United and Real Madrid are contesting for the same major trophy.

Being in a different league means nothing.

isiting manager Louis van Gaal said it was his side's "best display of the season" but Mourinho insists it was part of the game plan.

"It was difficult, but less than you think," he said. "Control their direct football to Marouane Fellaini and control the wingers from making crosses on the inside foot.

"When we know Wayne Rooney plays in midfield, we control his progression into the box. Control set-pieces and don't give away direct free-kicks as they have three specialists.

"Wait for a mistake and score a goal. We were able to make their important players disappear. Nobody saw them. They were in our pockets."

lulz. Just saw this post, never caught it for whatever reason when it was posted.

More like "blah blah blah, we parked the bus. Heck, even brought in another one to good measure!" ::D

Idk what's so hard to comprehend lol.

From when I've been watching football, Nistelrooy, Beckham, Heinze, Ronaldo, and now to an extent Chicarito are all players I loved watching on Man Utd who moved on to RM. Had they moved to a Chelsea or a Liverpool, I'd never ever cheer for that team because it's in the league lol. However going overseas to RM is understandable and I can cheer for them because they have my favourite players. I mean those first 4 I listed, cmon now, how couldn't I cheer for them?! Cheering for them = cheering for their new club which happens to be RM. But again just so you get it, if those same 4 went to Chelsea or Liverpool, I would never cheer for them = I would never cheer for that club.

Agreed, you can support one team and follow others, but your heart can only lie within one major European team

Yes. My heart is with Man Utd but I support RM as well due to the direct transfers of some of my alltime fav Man Utd players.

In my opinion, to call yourself a fan of a team you can only support one team in a continent.

You can be sympathetic to the causes of a club who's football you enjoy, but to say you support both teams seems treasonous to me.

I am a fan of Arsenal and Udinese, udinese because of family connections, and arsenal because when I was young Thierry Henry answered my fan mail.

if you like two teams, you like two teams. you really don't have to answer to anybody. but with that said, you are going to find people who consider it objectionable -- especially in the case of United and Madrid, since most supporters probably don't like Madrid because of all the lowballing and fleecing they've done of United over the years.

and, oh yeah, because they just buy every good player on the planet. personally, I find it sort of difficult to even respect Madrid as a club. I just don't like their approach. but if you do, then so what.

I don't really have a problem with liking two teams either, so long as you recognize there's a conflict.

I won't lie, there's definitely a few times I have a soft spot for in a few leagues, for various reasons. I grew up watching Ligue 1 just as much as I did the premier league, but I will always choose England over France.

speaking of Manchester United, http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/apr/24/david-de-gea-new-deal-louis-van-gaal-manchester-united

more fuel from LVG about DDG maybe not re-signing.

I wonder how much Lloris would cost from Tottenham? surely he makes the most sense for a fill-in, given all the rumours of him wanting CL football

DDG leaving would be pretty disastrous. Hard to see him staying at this point though tbh. And yea, Lloris seems like the front runner for replacing De Gea and I'm sure with that extra $ we would also bring in Hummels which would definitely ease the pain of losing him.

Yeah but the dog with the ball is having way more fun.

In this case the dog lost 1-0 and the owner is about to win the Premier League.

You play to win, not to be the prettiest.

Think De Gea leaving Utd has been on the cards for a long time now.

Will be very surprised if we see him in a Utd shirt next season (maybe he'll play out his contract one more year). The fact utd extended Smalling till 2019 might have made up his mind for good :)

Lloris will without a doubt be high on the list of candidates to replace him.

In saying that, 2 months ago I could have sworn that Mata couldn't play on the wing and would be on his way, and yet both he and Fellaini have finally stepped up to the plate.

So miracles does happen...
