The Man Utd Thread

Would you prefer to talk about the singing ability of their fans?

Provided theyā€™ve got plenty of pace, power, and desire.

Did any of ye see which United players are on yellow cards going into this game?

no, didnt catch that

Nice first half. Screamer from Ronald. Rio and Vidic look comfortable and havenā€™t been afraid to let the portugeezers know theyā€™re in a game. Vidic really should have nabbed a second there to really put us in the driving seat. Still the closest theyā€™ve come was the header. Ronaldoalmost working hard for us too.

Jamie just said the ball ā€˜literally exploded off his foot thereā€™.

No Jamie. No it didnā€™t.

I know the grumpy old men on RTE can be bad but Jesus Iā€™d prefer to clean the toilets that watch that gimp

For a statistic which can have such a bearing on games and even the destiny of the trophy itā€™s very difficult to find out this information before champions league games. The indo have taken to putting little yellow cards beside names when they lay out the teams and they do it on the telly just before the start but I missed both of them. Canā€™t find a website that gives them.

UEFA.com often have this kind of stuff listed in the official match preview that gets put up on the website.

that ref is giving the english team everything

What a miss for Porto there.

Porto are shit.

Itā€™s there for the taking for them but they havenā€™t threatened and keep giving the ball away.

Agreed. Yet again an inept opposition let man utd off the hook.

Great performance.Particularly from Vidic and Rio, rooney, Carrick, and Ronaldo. Job done well.

The biggest thing is if we get back to being that solid at the back.

Nice to see the bitterness resurface so quickly lads. Good to see liverpool fans back to their best.

I thought Ferdinand was exceptional tonight.

Utd are shit, lucky team, average teams are letting them off the hook.

Apart from being top of the PL, Champions league semi, FA Cup semi, League Cup winners, they are pure shit and there for the taking.

Itā€™s not bitterness. Manchester United at their best could have won that game 3-0. They were average yet again and Porto were not good enough to punish them.

Ferdinand carried Vidic tonight, all I saw Vidic do was get booked for a cynical foul and miss a sitter from a corner.

United deserved to go through, but they didnā€™t convince me. I still reckon a Chelsea-Arsenal final.

Dunphy just said ā€œArtmedia of Sofiaā€. His knowledge of football knows no bounds.
