"Milan thrash United to reach final

AC Milan set up a repeat Champions League final showdown against Liverpool when they brushed aside Manchester United 3-0 on Wednesday to complete a 5-3 win on aggregate."

The formerly so great team Manchester United seems to have lost not only a place in the finals, but so much more. They're just not good enough anymore. A place in the finals used to be a given, but now ... well ... let's just say they don't deserve to be in the finals this year. A team that seems to rely a player like Rooney should not expect to get even as far as the semi-finals. Perhaps that's their biggest problem, apart from having a team of divas, ... they're not taking their opponents seriously anymore ... they think they're still as good as they were five or six years ago.

I predict that we'll see Man U drop considerably in the ranks over the next five years. Their top players are getting old, and they don't have any new player to replace them.
