Champions League Quarters

Barca-Dortmund
Juventus-Real

That would be something

Last time there were no English sides in the quarters, Juve won it. Sentiment wants me to hope they win it again. But I think Barcelona will.

Couple of headlines after the draw was made....

was that the sun?

can see messi struggling against becks. Not just physically but in terms of sheer awe.

The galling thing is there have been a couple of high-boot challenges post-Nani in the Champions League that have either been let off completely or just punished with a yellow (not that Nani's was even a challenge ffs)

Absolutely £#%&! all we can do about it though
All over for another £#%&!ing year. The way this ball crushing competition is going I expect City to win it next year.

good work wez

I really don't understand where a lot of your negativity and whinging comes from :shakehead:

Don't get all agitated with me, pal. Despite the fact we're 12 points clear in the premier league, this United side isn't nearly as good as most people like to pretend it is.

Tactically, we're awful at times and we have some serious question marks over our midfield.

There's about 4 teams left in that competition who would have probably knocked us out anyway.

We had a man sent off, then shit our pants and bottled it. End of story.

That's what hurts more than the actual match itself. The fact that we'll have to wait a long time before we get a better opportunity.

One of them we won

The other two we were beaten by arguably the best club side ever.

The second final was worse than the first, because we should've just shut up shop completely and hoped for th4e best, but it's just one of those things... Barca were/are pretty good a football innit

We won't win another champions league under fergie. Even he knows it. That's why he was so 'distraught' after we went out.

Who knows if they ban spanish teams from the champions league we may stand a better chance.

£#%&!ing hell, turn it in Sparky.

You've been boring the @#%&! out of everyone with this 'tactically inept' drum you mysteriously started banging the week we almost got knocked out of two cups.

I think we were negatively affected by the emotion, whereas in the past we used to be good at taking strength from adversity.

I wouldn't say we bottled it at all.


I think we bottled it against Everton though, and I think Ferguson bottled it a bit at Wembley against Barcelona by his team selection and use of his bench.
