Yeah, having Hernandez in and around the box when one of those chances drops, would probably have been more effective.

The more I see it, the tougher it is for the ref. I just gotta go with Nani's eyes being on the ball but still 50/50. Yellow at least.

Thanks for the kind words Sviatoslav, I always knew you loved Barca. Loskov4Lyfe
Why does that matter?
Is that the best you can come up with? LOL try better buddy.
come on.. you can even see him kicking once he realized that there was another player there.. red card was deserved.
Strikers galore.. I'm hoping Fergie isn't that nuts.. And if we're gonna spend that much money we might as well save it for Ronaldo.

They might not even make it through the current group in CAF world cup qualifying...

Different angles for evaluation.
The second angle makes it look like he kicks out again after the initial contact. Hmm.
Well, he didn't at Inter. He didn't really beat him through any tactical decisions tonight, so out of the four games Fergie has played against Mourinho at Inter and Madrid, I'd say Fergie's had the edge.
With Chelsea, it was probably one of the worst teams we've had under Ferguson's management - 2004/05 was a bad season all things considered - against Chelsea's best ever side. Extraneous things factor into that. Mourinho is the best of all the current, younger managers by a long distance, but considering the fact that bells like confuziz and myself expected us to get thrashed, that Madrid have the most expensive squad of all time, considering that we had a 40 year old and players like Cleverley and Welbeck who constantly get joked about on here, its not that surprising that they beat us over the two legs really. Doesn't mean Ferguson's not a better manager.

Well shit, looks like English football's coefficient is going down this year.
in the meantime I think my choices for the Champions League now that English teams are all but gone would be Schalke, Milan and maybe Bayern.

For what it's worth, I agree it was probably worth throwing him on tonight, I'm just trying to rationalise it.
Might have thrown Kagawa on first though. I still want to see how good he can be against a tiring side, rather than watching him being subbed off after an hour all the time.
It matters because that should have been a yellow, not a straight red. Come on Kyoufu, take off your United bias for once.

Fair enough.I know its not realistic to find any kind of objective line bewteen dangerous play and lack of spatial awareness. But the fact of the matter is that Nani has gone studs up, straight legged, decent speed, blind and in a position where its probable that another player will be arriving at the same time. You can't expect 100% awareness from every player on the pitch at all times, but the referees should not be accepting 'I was looking at the ball' in situations of such blatant disregard for the safety of opponents.
Especially when its my darling Alvaro on the receiving end
And this isn't a dig, but I just wonder if you think Suarez should have been sent off for that "kick" on Scott Parker.
IMO it's one of those which is very easy to justify when you are desperately trying to justify it. When you play football...it's just not how the game works. To make something like that a red card offence...and apparently a clear and undeniable red card offence...it's close to going to non-contact.
Anyway, bygones now.
Fergie needs to calm himself down and go out and do a presser. Unbecoming to do a Jose and just not say anything. Needs to praise his players and thank the fans at the very least.

Come up with what?
Yep.
Thank fuck. Welbeck and the rest of those overrated players did not deserve a CL medal.
I mean, my mind is blown that they're going to get PL medals... Jesus.
Nope. It's fun.
Plus even Roy Keane. ROY KEANE says it's a red.

Fake Ronaldo is leaving for Bayern. Deal with it.
You're well boring now.
He leans his foot forward. It depends on your interpretation.
It looks like he wanted to hurt him, but I couldn't say it with conviction.

Oi remember all that talk about how a player who scores a hat-trick self-picks himself for the next game? Why is Fergie such a liar?

I'm off. GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED days for me are over.
I think Real played worse and SAF had Mourinho in his pocket but it wasn't meant to be.
Giggs is a legend.

Of course. We've had 2 red cards this season that weren't as bad as that.

Keane has been bitter for a while.
And what's with everyone calling United crap and yet they've been extremely good this season.
Didn't realize this was a PL match. Oh wait.
I'd say they've a fairly good chance of it, them and Juve in the final.

I have nothing against Barca. I just wish their games were more entertaining but that's not always their fault. They also have significantly less Portucunts in their squad than Madrid does. To be honest, it kills me that Zenit now have 3 Portucunts.
I don't even... Forget it...
Rooney had a world class goal IIRC.
I agree Man Utd have been excellent actually. It's all down to Frogson and Whelan and whoever else in that coaching team.
But beating Real Madrid with Welbeck and Cleverley is a bit too much, too soon.
Because they are all salty as fuck.
When someone else wins the league they've been the best team
When United win the league, the league's been really weak
Win 8 of our last 10 games and we equal the all time point record
we r shit
Haven't played attention to the team ever since I heard Prince said he no longer wanted to play for the team. Is it that bad?

Anyway so there's Copa Libertadores tonight. I might watch the Tijuana vs Corinthians game if I finish this freaking math homework on time.

Disappointed to be out but thought the team setup well and pretty much everyone performed fantastically.
Don't think it was a red. It wasn't dangerous play, though perhaps a bit sloppy not to be aware of the player coming in.
Still, after that wet didn't soak up the pressure well enough and looked pretty useless until Madrid got the second and dat back, after which we should really have got at least 1 goal back.
I look forward to a double this year though and think we will go far in the competition next year. This has been such a massive improvement over last year.
Also have to say the atmosphere seemed brilliant throughout. OT can be a bit limp sometimes but not tonight.

For getting kicked out of the club
Of course we are shit. Even though we've done so well the past couple of games.

Ahhh my fellow United-GAF members.
Do not bite.
This is a night when we have to suck it up. We're still in a better position than almost every other team in Europe bar 2 or 3.

Finally seeing Ronnie's goal -- that little pass from Ozil back to Higuain was GORGEOUS. Modric's goal was a beauty too but 1 more inch and that probably doesn't deflect in. Incredibly fortuitous.
