Real madrid has the most fans and is the richest club, its really that simple..economics. For Man City, its different, although you could treat their owner as a veryvery rich fan heh? I find it ironic how there are those who are willing to pay so much to watch football live and yet complain about the sums of money being spent. They say how its immoral that so much money is being spent on transfers and not on charity..you seen these comments on goal.com all the time. Don't they realize that they're funding this madness themselves? If they truly cared about people in Africa, they should have spent the money they used on a football season ticket on charity, no? The fans are paying for their transfers and their wages.

I know Doyle hasn't been scoring freely of late but to leave him out in such a big game surprised me immensely, and with Noel Hunt missing, and Kitson in Stoke form rather than Reading form, I can't see them outscoring Burnley, who are a fine side with some excellent players.
