3.3 million quid for winner its a nice little earner for the winner for a couple of days work. plus i wonder how many man utd shirts are being sold now in far east ?

**opsmonkey** · 16 December, 2008, 20:34

yes but is exposure to billions of people on TV is the reason its a winner for clubs.. not the trophy itself..

**thered** · 16 December, 2008, 20:54

its a farce we can do without

**opsmonkey** · 16 December, 2008, 21:43

especially as your 6 points off the pace

**Walkinmyshadow** · 16 December, 2008, 22:38

8 years ago Utd went to Brazil for the same tournament came back refreshed and won the league, Yes we could do without it, but you only get into it if you win the Champions league the previous year, and that is prestigious in itself, We're only gonna miss one game (home to wigan) and its not as if the Utd players are going to be slumming it in japan.

its a pain in the arse.. we've been there in 2005.. it'll affect the game after wigan as well..

**Walkinmyshadow** · 16 December, 2008, 22:48

It might have been a pain in the arse for the Pool, but it did Utd the world of good, thats what i'm going on

**opsmonkey** · 16 December, 2008, 22:52

i hardly think it did you the world of good.. you left the FA cup and came back a laughing stock being humped at the tournament..

its not really worth it.. ask AC Milan

**Walkinmyshadow** · 16 December, 2008, 23:13

True, we did come back with our tail between our legs.. but the rest and relaxation was a major factor in us winning the league a few months later

**Walkinmyshadow** · 16 December, 2008, 23:16

Oh and i tried ring AC milan but they wouldnt accept my call, i even mentioned your name and they swore at me in Italian

**opsmonkey** · 17 December, 2008, 00:23

you didnt ask how they managed to throw away a 3-0 lead in a UCL final did you..?

**Walkinmyshadow** · 17 December, 2008, 00:47

Didnt have to.... the world and his dog knows the pool mugged them that night

.. i watched that game with 3 mates who are pool fans, to say they went mental after the shootout would be an understatement
