The old Man Utd Thread

[exwhyzed]

Obviously I'm a bit biased, but that Nani goal is the best team goal I've ever seen I think.

[Gabe]

What about the 37-pass Barca goal against Liverpool (sob)? They way they moved us around and probed for the space was pretty special.

[ckny]

I had a dream about Nani last night. Where the hell is he?

He is on holiday with Kagawa and Hernandez.

[Nicky]

injured.

[AlwaysBeClosing]

I don't mind Dortmund, Atletico or PSG, simply as we haven't played them that recently (and I want us to get to the semis of course!). But, I anticipate us getting Chelsea and knocked out because of a ridiculous own goal.

[Bleeders]

So, Bayern it is in then...

[ukdazs]

Bayern. Oof.

TIME FOR REVENGE

[ckny]

David Moyes vs Pep Guardiola.

Lol.

Also, the choice Alex Ferguson conceivably made last year.

[bowser123]

David Moyes vs Pep Guardiola.

Yeah, the outcome would have been so different had the two teams met last season.

[AlwaysBeClosing]

So bloody typical - the draw is good.. but despite working around football fixtures, I didn't think the quarters would be that early. On the 1st I have a flight at 3:03pm, the game starts at 2:45pm here. On the 9th, the game starts at 2:45pm.. I have another (local) match I'm going to see at 4pm.

[sith]

Man, Bayern were the only team I didn't want to face. I fear a tanking in both legs but at least we have the opportunity to beat them.

Gonna try and get a ticket for the home leg, could be a while before the likes of Bayern will be at Old-Trafford

[SF-02]

Dunno why people were getting so excited by wednesday's result. Olympiakos are very average at best, and after every decent performance this season man utd have been poor the next game. West Ham will be a stiffer challenge than crappy Olympiakos at home.

[AlwaysBeClosing]

Because we're United fans? Deary me.

[feltmonkey]

because in these troubled times we need to grasp desperately for any tattered, tarnished shreds of triumph we can reach.

don't take this away from us, SF-02. it's all we've got.

[sith]

Carrick at CB??

[AlwaysBeClosing]

The fuck. Is he making a Fergie-like mistake (a la Fulham with Rafael in midfield and Carrick in defence?) - surely we could pick out someone from the reserves. Otherwise I like the look of the team.

Papering over cracks perhaps? See also WBA result previously.

[Gabzy]

Carrick AND Fellaini at CB today.

Manchester United boss David Moyes: "We've lost Robin van Persie for four or five weeks and Rio Ferdinand has a bad back so we are stretched. I am asking Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini to both fill in at centre-back today.

[Nicky]

all the midfielders

[spork]

Not bad.

[Nicky]

[Gabzy]

Oh WOW. Wow wow wow wow.

[AlwaysBeClosing]

The FUCK. Love the close-up on Beckham too.

[Liamness]

Said close up:



Somewhere between and but we don't have that smiley.

[Nicky]

Young is being terrible yet again

[AlwaysBeClosing]

Nani is on the bench! Evra the only defender.

[Gabzy]

Yeah, Young has just been a waste of space. Is Januzaj on the bench?

[AlwaysBeClosing]

Yeah he was. But.. good to give the lads some rest, especially Evra, despite his endurance.

Fellaini is fitting right in now, Mata is warming to the team and Rooney proving he can work well as the lone striker with Mata.
