FBS:
yup there is time so it aint over yet.
but imo, not only cahill, luiz, Ivan and Cole are just not in the game.
same goes to that ram. just running as if he is late for a meeting.

LOL
True.

Yet another narrow, narrow escape.

FBS: that man Falcao is dangerous. waaat! what a finish. looking like a walk-over already.
bad defending.

Therez still plenty of time in which to turn it around; provided something is done about Falcao.
Dude has rendered Cahill semi-useless.

Babamide: very insane contribution.

Glad you like it.

Goal number 2!

So Lampard's captain....dude that lives off other people's penalty creations.

And he does just that!
Lovely goal.

Lucky escape.
Falcao looks set to make your backline weep.

debosky: ^^

I jump am pass. . . .that would be worse than signing Silvestre from United.

Hush, Debo. "In Arsene we you trust".

chamotex:

Essien's real age is probably above Scholes and Giggs' (no difference)

LOL
Other than Essien's age, Fergie still doesn't believe his team needs a traditional DM.

Read that it's Arsene begging RDM for the guy.

Hugoboi:

Maybe UEFa decided to try a new face this time.

Good point.
He deserves it though, for club and country.

chamotex:

I don't see why they bother to be honest.
They should save our time and shoulda given it to him since last night.

Iniesta gets it.

I'm sure I can see my reflection in Messi's shoes.
I hope he wins.

chamotex: If Fergie gives himself brain this time, we should glide through without any problem.

LOL

Group H- Manchester United, FC Braga, Galatasaray, Cluj

Not as strenuous as Group D. I see no reason why United shouldn't get past this stage.

Real Madrid vs Man City. Mouth-watering fixture.

FC Braga first to join United.

Let's pause Nani for now....UCL draws are on.

I have read, including all the comments, and I agree with the OP.

Nani is flawed but compared with his strengths, I don't think he should be sold. Plus,the stats are there.
The Sam Hale guy presented a pretty solid argument (comments included) and I'm on his side of the fence.

My issues with Nani are his inability to cross and his selfishness.
He makes up for his poor crossing by being creative without having to cross the ball so it's not like his poor crossing renders him totally useless.
Like the dude stated, who cares if an assist comes via a cross or a pass?

Unless one is saying Young is better than Nani (which he isn't), I think United should keep Nani around.
Sure, the new buys are settling in well and all but it's still early days. Why put all our eggs in one basket?

Go to bed. You've got to work tomorrow....or today.

AjanleKoko:

At least Mourinho plays Barca with a man extra for once.
So no complaints. But we'll soon put them back where they need to be.

There really are no complaints. Barca gifted RMD the advantage when there were 22 men on the pitch.
But twaz a really good fight in the end. Still a team to be proud of.

Besides as already stated, the team played poorly for most of first half. That wasn't Valdes' fault.
He messed up in the first leg but the second leg was a fresh chance to change things and Barca as a team let RMD stomp on 'em.

Can't put it all on Valdes' small ogo.

Pique and Mascherano also messed up tonight....y'all shouldn't be too harsh on Valdes.
All in all, twaz was a good fight from Barca, being a man down.

StarBoard:
The goal shoulda stood.Both guys were going for the ball.
Even the sky commentator felt the decision to award the foul was soft.

Messi!!!!

Watched the highlight. I'm inclined to agree. Pique was on the other guy as well. Then again, twaz Pique that went down.
Guess Mr. ref didn't like that.

But to be fair, a foul's a foul, soft or hard. And the guy has been fair since the game commenced.

What a free kick!!
See? It's Barca we're talking about. Back on level terms.

They only need a goal to draw level.
I think its too soon to lose hope. If RMD can score twice in a half, why not Barca?

But knowing Mourinho sha, they might just park the bus come 2nd half.

StarBoard:
Soft foul to give.
Barca were let off the hook.

Well, still a foul.

LOL
Barca is rated the best club in the world...they should be able to overcome a lone goal deficit in the amount of time remaining.

Tito needs to re-strategise and dem boiz need to quit bulldozing the RMD guys and play!

AjanleKoko: We are being ripped apart

More like your backline is parting for 'em like the Red Sea for the Israelites.

Okay, there was a foul.
RMD are only a goal up on agg...Barca can still bounce back.

That would be a really biased statement.

Goal number 3 canceled. I don't think the refs got that call right

Knock knock....Ajanlekoko, things are going way down south tonight.

Un-freaking-believable!!!
