It amazes me that Chelsea 03 with a billionaire owner is so low on the list. Shows that they are a tin pot club at the end of the day. Money can't change that.

Actually I would rather buy a nice house centred in a plot of land and open up an animal sanctuary!!

At least the animals won't abuse you LOL LOL LOL just ask Steve McClaren. Oh perhaps they will and did.... and too 'bleeding right' as well!!

How glorious the day will be when Montceau-les-Mines will be up there. Oh yes, it will happen.

What is surprising is the low cost of Barca, but what I find funny though is the progress ManU has made, I guess all the problems that fans had against Glazer has for the most part been shut down but this seasons success and the team's worth.
