Big clubs in 'bad loser' shock

Manchester United want the format of the Champions League changed to help more big clubs reach the last eight.

Of course they do.

For those of you landing from Mars, just take a guess as to whether Man Utd progressed to the last 8 of this seasons champions league.

Of course they didn't.

"AC Milan were discussing this before we played them, so it is not a knee-jerk reaction." said Utd's David Gill.

Of course you were.

He added: "It's not good for the big clubs, not good for TV and sponsors if there are no Spanish clubs in the quarter-finals."

Anyone see any mention of the word 'fan' in that sentence?

Of course you don't.

And some still wonder why Manchester United are so hated.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, whose side coincidentally also exited the competition at the first knockout phase, is another calling for changes.

He said: "You can't afford to have Real Madrid and Manchester United - big clubs who invest so much money - going out in the last 16."

No that's right Arsene, getting knocked out of a competition over two legs by a team who you were drawn to play at random is totally unfair. Why don't you draw attention to other clubs demise, whilst not mentioning your own and hope to get the rules changed because of it?

Oh, you have done.

And some still wonder why Arsenal are so hated.

Shame? What's shame?
