[Wilf]

A quiet moment of reflection.

Beans?

Of course they'll face a far tougher challenge at the Emirates on Sunday

Tottenham, Porto, Ajax, Manyoo so far.

It's all beginning to look a bit Europa League.

The European Cup will stay in Madrid.

Poor old PSG going out to a dodgy penalty . . .



















Nah, fuck 'em.

seriously though, how is that a pen, the defender had his back to the ball - how can that be in any way deliberate? He cant have known anything about it?

First half was pretty even, second half with the changes & with the threat of Martial removed PSG lost any tentativeness. Their midfield were very fast, Veratti cute, Mbappe lighting quick, & their defence reassuringly solid. 1-3 in Paris. Allez les rouges.

Get in. I should have followed my bold instinct & lumped on.

Is Rashford United's first (potentially) world-class homegrown striker? Can't think of another, not in the modern era.

football, bloody hell

I'm not a man utd fan but that was something special. that is what it is all about.

 

[chilango]

Happy players, attacking, entertaining football and hungry (ideally local) youth.

That's all I want in the short term

So, er, yeah...job done

 

[imposs1904]

Fucking Solskjær.

I was getting used to hating United.

I've had the Roses on shuffle all morning ffs.

Then cheese

Started at FC United, that song. Quite a few have drifted back over the last couple of seasons & taken the song book with them.
'We'll carry on through it all, playing punk football'.

It's just getting kind of weird now with OGS, he'll be sorting out Brexit next...

Well I thought Man Utd would be out in the second leg so well done but all this guff about the third richest club in the world suddenly becoming the triumph of the underdogs is a bit rich imo, they ain't no Ajax.

He's got the best winning % of any United manager - about 23 % points better than the second best (Ferguson)

Admittedly hasn't managed that many games and it's likely to drop over the next month with the injuries they have. But still...

Yeah, but PSG are quite a bit higher in the Cunty stakes than united at the moment. Saint Ole is just about using the force to blank out the dark side of United's wanky owners. Rejoice.

I'd prefer to say, REAL MADRID, DORTMUND, ROMA, PSG... your boys took one helluva beating!

Porto's win was particularly pleasing as its the first time they've got that far and they were the second lowest financial value of any team in this round.Cant see them getting any further mind.

I remember Porto winning the European cup in the 80s and in 04 under Mourinho, mind you Utd should have put them out then but Scholseys goal at OT was disallowed.

They won the League last year for the first time in 4/5 years and were great till Xmas . A little under that level at the moment but hard working, quite a compact midfield , can score but defence vulnerable to pace.

 

[Patteran]

Nice highlights from BT. Includes Dalot's great wrong-footing cut-in at the 2.45 mark - he's a belter of a player.

Still a *bit* shit then...
