Fuck the flu, Hummels will be missed tonight

Still, we can do this, we just need to score more lol

 

[Phantast2k]

We're gonna smash them.

Não

/not that I really care though

//^yeah, we can't hope for a draw (with less than 2 goals by Donezk)

 

[Slizz]

FERGIES A GENIUS!

 

[Tc91]

I thought we'd win tonight. Guess not

 

[Into]

The last time Ferguson benched him like this for a major match was back in 2011 when Rooney got drunk out in town and Ferguson wanted to teach him a lesson

No such reports this time, but to be honest he was not very good in Madrid, ran a lot but mostly in vain

3-1 for Dortmund, easy. Despite what Sviatoslav keeps telling himself, Willian was a much more important player for Shakhtar than Fernandinho. YOU'RE WRONG, SVIATO, WRONG!!!

Btw, I still can't believe yellow cards don't get cleared going into the quarterfinals. Absurd.

 

[Clegg]

2-1 United.

 

[arkon]

1-3 to madrid, based on the lineups.

 

[Ushojax]

It's being reported that Bale is at Old Trafford tonight.

Sure he is.

 

[kharma45]

I jest.

The role he was given in Madrid was a piss-take. Fair enough somebody had to do it but I'm not sure what else he expected from Rooney. Thankless task chasing after Ronaldo and Contreao all game long.

I can see Rooney being dropped. He hasn't been at his best. But he's been dropped for Nani and Giggs, two of the most inconsistent players in the squad. I guess they're in form right now so let's hope that continues and this pays off.

[kharma45]

Sure he is.

He's probably there just to watch the match as strange as that idea is.

 

[KidA Seven]

I just seen the lineups....

 

[Ushojax]

He's probably there just to watch the match as strange as that idea is.

He's gone there to laugh at Modric.

 

[Fry]

lol

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Even Rooney would be a better presence than a starting Giggs in midfield. When he comes on with half an hour left and uses his intelligence, he's great.

Yeah, Giggs starting over Rooney in midfield is something only Fergie would do. Especially given that he's willing to risk Vidic's knee in this game.

 

[arkon]

To watch his favourite player.

Football died when Cannavaro was given the Ballon d'Or.

Replace Real Madrid with Tottenham and Cristiano Ronaldo with Bale.

I'm hoping you do. Still a great squad although Hummels would have been great.

Now that we're gone I would love for Dortmund to win the CL.

 

[-Eddman-]

I'm trying to undesrtand Fergie's madness here and probably he wants to park the bus in the first half, let Madrid have the ball, and then put Rooney and Kagawa or Hernandez in the second half?

I don't know, probably he finally went mad.

 

[dc89]

Well... I'm doing what I did last time on Bet 365.

 

[panty]

A fucking Giggs is gonna beat us

please Özil, Ronnie and Higuain don't fuck this up please score at least SIX FUCKING TIMES ASDADS RASRAS RFAS CAN'T TAKE THE PRESSURE

Replace Real Madrid with Tottenham and Cristiano Ronaldo with Bale.

Probably applies more to Spurs than RM too

 

[Fry]

Bild says he'll leave if a new striker is signed (Lewa?).

As in Bayern is willing to let him go for 20m. Meh.

OooooOOoooOOooOOOOOooOOOOOooooozil is going to choke tonight.

 

[FootballFan]

I don't know how often Real fans sing about him but United fans sing about him pretty much every single week.

Real Madrid fans don't sing at all, so if United have sung one song about him in the last year it's more.

 

[Fry]

I have a feeling Lewa is already signed Shaqiri style. They'll just wait to announce it.

Gomez has proved much more than Mandzukic. Especially in the Champions League.

 

[-bakalhau-]

Is anyone from here streaming the big match? Namely the person who last season used to broadcast games to gaffers, sorry I'm forgetting your name! I hate the commentators that will be on the Portuguese channel broadcasting the game.

I was also looking to watch the pre-match show right now and see Ronaldo's reception :')

 

[kharma45]

You'd think ITV could ditch Emmerdale for one night. 15 minutes build-up for the game where they will shoe-horn in two ad breaks...

 

[Phantast2k]

It'd be hilarious if Gomez ended up in Dortmund and Klopp would turn in him into a goal shitting monstrosity. He'd also add to our hot players pool, while Bayern would be stuck with teh uglies.

 

[RibbedHero]

Ferguson off his rocker confirmed.

Emmerdale is essential viewing before a big match.

is rooney injured?

Benched.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

No, Fergie's brain is

 

[Wilbur]

My anger is over. Now I'm just awaiting the loss. C'est la vie.

I wonder how the lack of Roooney will affect the other players mentality.

They are fucking awful those tvi commentators! I hope tvi goes bankrupt one day, I'll celebrate every damn day!

 

[Broder Salsa]

That pitch is terrible, United using Mourinho tricks.

Man up, cunt

Dramatic United supporters everywhere. Rooney isn't the glue holding your team together, get that into your fucking head.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Lol there's a picture of Bale at the game now.

Usho mad.

 

[Jensen]

I'd rather watch Emmerdale than 30 extra minutes of build up with Adrian Chiles.
