Real Madrid topped football's rich list for the sixth year in succession, as Manchester United dropped to third.


Real Madrid topped football's rich list for the sixth year in succession, as Manchester United dropped to third.

Accountancy firm Deloitte have announced their annual Football Money League report, which again confirmed Real as football's top revenue earning club.

Indeed, Real posted record figures as their revenues moved in excess of €400million (£363m) for the first time.

The Spanish league is benefiting from the strong Euro at the moment and, partly as a result of that, Barcelona have leapt into second spot ahead of English champions United.

Well for me Northern Ireland are in albania for a friendly. dont know much about albania but our away form is dire we could do with picking up something although it could probably be a 1-1 draw im not expecting much

England should win against egypt mind u.

aparently the redknights met today to organise a bid for the club!!!

Just wanted to say the green and gold protest is obviously alot bigger than i thought there were so many scarfs and shirts there yesterday!!

i bet 75% of the united faithful were wearing them!!! (but almost all of them wear wearing a red one with the or a red united shirt!)

Then there was Wayne Rooney, a man who just doesn't quite know when to stop (thank god).

Are we a one man team? Yeah, maybe we are, but aren't most top clubs all reliant on some great player?

Arsenal have Fabregas, Chelsea with Drogba, even Liverpool with Torres, so what's really wrong with that, it's part of football, right?

Yeah it is but when they go down with injuries, those same top clubs all suffer one way or another, what can we do about it really?

Buy more players? There are lots of good players, but great ones...they are few and far between but because we are the great Manchester United, it is only us who get labelled a one man team.

We are the ones who will get nowhere without Rooney, so we are told by the endless dribble from TV pundits the likes of Hansen and Shearer and critics from the press. Why?

It's all because we are one of the greatest teams in football and they all really want us to fail and each year we annoy them a little bit more when we bounce back. If you listen to them somewhere around November, they start taking us apart and always by March they start eating those words again because one thing's for sure.

We are always in the mix on the home straight and always upsetting people, they are all the same and all saying, "there's no way Man United can do it again" or is there?
