Pretty sure Latvian Champions didn't really feature in it so that's a little disingenuous. Moreover, the standard of football across Europe was far more even and less centralised in big economies and within those big economic countries, less centralised in a few power-brokering teams. So in fact, the European Cup back then was a far more even ground for competition, at a different time in football, with less money in it, less technology, less travel and so on. It's pretty pointless to compare all in all. About the most sensible thing you can say is that it is difficult to win that trophy at any stage*, and anyone who has won two, no matter how long it took them to win them, did pretty well.*Except for Madrid's first five, which were obviously a complete shit-show.
It is a poisoned chalice. Look at Rafa, he went to Inter after they had just won the treble, there was no way he was going to do well even if that was only one of the reasons he didn't. This is like that x100.
If he retires I'll eat my fucking cock.
Great anti climax for those expecting jizzihno....
Only messing with you i know what happened
Pardew could do with a new challenge.
David Moyes to Man Utd please!
@sportingintel: The Fergie situation got to be made clear soon. The NY Stock Exchange needs to be informed of a huge dev like retirement
And that is why Fitzy is the true GOAT.
All seems a bit too convenient that Dean Saunders was "sacked" today. Apparently he's been seen picking a new pair of shoes in the Trafford Centre...
Finished at the age of 26. The Mike Tyson of football.

Well I thought Kenny Jacket resigned from Millwall because he has heard some murmurs at Old Trafford about a vacancy.
That's the only reason why I could see it happening now. To secure him before others do. Still don't believe it though.Can you imagine that twat in charge of those twats? Twattishness off the scale!
Crosby Nick never fails.
As I said in the wrong thread!...
hows your knob?
Nothing yet? It's all bollocks, isn't it?
One day, people will hopefully look back and say "I was there son. I was there the year that Spurs won nothing again."
'Arry' in his car on the way to Old Trafford. Already hanging out hos window ready to declare his interest...
Pretty happy with Arse taking it.
