Never mind the scoreline, but what impressed me the most, was the degree to which Bilbao thoroughly outplayed United on almost every level.

Their passing and moving, their pressing, the way they set up themselves on the pitch, their speed and stamina, their creativity were all ahead of what United could ever master in that game at least.

How can their La Liga record be just 9W, 10D and 6D? The Spanish top flight is a lot stronger than almost anyone thinks. It is just that Madrid and Barca are so good, that they make the rest look far worse than they actually are.

All La Liga sides have performed remarkably in these 3 days of European football.

athletic bilbao shld thank God howard webb was not the ref.

Karpentar, will you stop attacking my person? Face the comments and topic.

Its not over till its over.

All you fools calling webb"s name. Was it not the same webb that was at the centre when newcastle hammered man u 3-0, was it not the same webb that was there when liverpool beat united 4 1 at old trafford some years back. You all need your heads examined. United were outclassed by a better team and it was aided by a senile old man who has lost his mojo. How will park and giggs play against a mobile team like bilbao.

Manchester united gotta watch it in the second leg,san mames is not a friendly ground.Athletic Bilbao are much more stronger at home.

BinghiNya, thanks.
It was Webb that was there too when Chelsea beat Man U 2-1 at Old Trafford with Drogba scoring a clear offside goal. He was at least 4 yards offside when the ball was released to him and he ran to blast in. Later Macheida equalised but Webb claimed he used his hand and not chest to control the ball. But replay showed otherwise. Chelsea went on to win the league with just a point. Most times when a team is good it appears ref favour them. I feel same too most times when I watch Barca, particularly when they play against Madrid.

I rep La Liga mhen . . . .La Liga >>>>>>> EPL . . .F* Ur Opinion!

If that's your only reply, I presume you have come to understand how indefensible your points are. We all learn everyday and there's no shame in admitting when one is wrong. Thanks!!

walahi Man U is gone. thank God They are Now discovering that without their FAn howard webb and the FA they cant win any game.

@khanye.

Your Animation is very Funny.

Those Bilbao guys were sublime, at some point I thought they were Barca,

See smallish looking guys just toying around with MANU.

Degea saved Manure lots of embarrassment.

AkoEja,

It is your uncivilized family at home that are idiots.

and abroad. . .


back to the topix, manu couldn't believe their eyes, .bilbao were outstanding. Evra is almost finished, Park too, i'd rather play o'shea than evans.

i am seeing a situation where the replay will be handled by the most experienced ref in the world(Sir Howard Webb). up man u. as long as howard de webb lives, make no manure fan fear. at least, manure are sure to get like 5 penalties.
my only fear is that the bilbao fans will not understand how things work in epl so they may decide to beat webb till his resigns from officiating.

funny enough, evra was blaming suarez for the lost and was even calling for fa to give the guy more match bans. was suarez in the crowd that day? for anyone that answers this question correctly, i will dash him one barrel of crude oil.

As my warri friends wld say:
MAN U NOOOOOOOOR GUD!

yeah we know success brings around too many badbellezzz, but haters of manchester united dont get too excited, its half time

Man utd will finish trophyless this season

Man utd will finish trophyless this season
