Manchester United Thread

Small matter of some Spanish team coming to OT tomorrow night. Might try to make time to watch some of it.

My prediction:
---------------De Gea-------------
--Rafael-----Rio----Evans--Evra---
---------Carrick---Cleverley------
--------------Rooney--------------
----Nani-------------Welbz--------
----------------RVP---------------

1-3 on the night, 2-4 on aggregate. Ronnie to score twice, we grab one back and get caught late on the counter.

Then we can get back to winning our trophy.
 
NO ROONEY?!?!?!?

--------------De Gea--------------
-Rafael---Rio-----Vidic----Evra---
--------Carrick---Cleverley-------
---Nani--------Giggs------Welbz---
----------------RVP---------------

Massive call from the boss...can't say I agree with it. Rooney is probably our most consistent big game player, and putting in Giggs for him... for his 1,000th game...

Man almost sounds like a marketing decision. Batsh*t crazy imo.
 
Yeah I dunno, we'll see how it goes.

I think we'll be talking about Giggs at HT whether its good or bad.
 
Dunno who I want to win this.

Just hope the actual game is entertaining. Got a feeling that it's going to be dire with both teams sitting back for most of it.

Rooney must be injured. Not even in the squad
 
No he's on the bench.

Must be tactical, but I literally can't think of a single attribute (except age) that a 39 year old Giggs has over Rooney at the moment.
 
Seems far too sentimental from SAF to start Giggsy but who knows, Rooney was terrible in the first leg (albeit played out of position), wonder if that had anything to do with it.

SAF has brass bollocks though.
 
I think at this stage Ferige is just f*cking with us.

I blew an absolute gasket when I saw the out of form, unfit, useless for 18 months Ji Sung Park was starting in our most important game of the season at the Etihad last year. Everyone said have faith in Fergie. He's not infallible, but you're right his brass bollocks are certainly there and he'll take the criticism if/when we lose.

Shocking prediction: Giggs to misplay a penetrating pass enabling Madrid to country and score. Twice. In 30 minutes.
 
Rumour round Twitter than Rooney was at a gig last night and broke curfew, hence he's being punished.

Punishing him like this didn't work against Blackburn last season, let alone Real fucking Madrid.
 
No Evans, that I find far more shocking than no Rooney considering their respective form.

But I'm sure Fergie has his reasons, let's hope he's right.

Good to see Nani starting a big game again too.
 
We've been excellent so far. Might not win, but this is the United that we haven't seen in a few seasons in the CL. Brave, talented and attacking.

Just me or has giggs been excellent all round so far?
Click to expand...

He was almost done at the end there. Fantastic half, but I'd have him off either at the half or 5-10 minutes in. Let Ronnie have a shot there at the end that he would have closed down earlier.
 
Fuck yeah..I'm glad its that prick of a Ramos that put that in. Verano..I would ve actually felt slightly bad for..we need a second goal tho before I can relax. Crowd is awesome today.

A red card? For fkin that? FM I hate Ramos so much, going over there crying like a bitch again. That is the most undeserved red card I have ever seen. And I would e said the same if it d be a card against pool or city. Ridiculous.
 
For the love of sweet f*cking God can this put to bed the 'United own the refs' bullsh*t.

Am disgusted. So proud of our performance, but you can't beat the (2nd?) best team in the world with 10 men.

Ruined by the ref. May he have a very, very unhappy retirement. BUT I really hope United fans don't go all Chelsea and send him death threats.

I haven't been this angry since we got knocked out by Porto after a linesman ruled out a Scholes goal that settled when he was played onside by THREE defenders.

Horrendous decision, maybe it was a foul, maybe at the absolute push a yellow card (but that would have been very harsh) a red card is just unreal, I don't think anyone, even the Real Madrid players, expected a red. To say you are unlucky is an understatement.
