If you actually think about it, no European club has established itself as a dominant force in Europe during Real's hiatus. When the giant wakes it will rule for years cause Real tends to do the Champs League thing in bundles. Remember it was a ten year gap between ManU's two Euro Cups which means if Real wins this thing before 2012 they'll have done better while being a "circus". You are not fit to speak ill of this institution friend.

Shaheen6/2/2009 12:11 PM: For all their pedigree, it's sad that the club is run like a Circus.... A new coach year in year out. And winning the league is enough to get you sacked? Ask Cappello...

Lion-hearted

Nary a ball had been kicked in anger in the Super 14, but years of woe haven't dampened Huge Dude's spirit. 'This is their year', he says, the year when the Lions will go forth and conquer, and crush all foes beneath them to a bloody pulp! Take note, fair-weather fans, we have a true supporter in our midst!
