Real Sociedad vs Manchester United : Official Europa League Matchday Thread 03/11/2022 @ 5.45pm

Great trip. I met former forumitsta Carlo in the ground. He sent his best wishes to everyone although I do doubt he will remember seeing me

I think we will get Shaktar Donetsk next round.

That would be good. Fred might get confused and accidentally get on their bus to go home.

They were great apparently

Tbf, that’s the most youth players I’ve ever seen run down a clock and otherwise do £#%&! all.

Hope we play them again in the final and our most expensive players all score and celebrate by buying their wives.

Didn’t they lose 1-0 on the night and draw 1-1 on aggregate? thanks to a ludicrous penalty?

Give them a break, Dunk. They defeated EVIL.

Yeah if you think being professional spoilers is 'amazing'.

We've had this numerous times in this competition with clubs from Spain especially. The play acting and time wasting is just astonishing.

It’s £#%&!ing incredible isn’t it

No consideration that we have to spend that kind of money because we’re in the PL and get absurd TV money? Pretty sure Forest wipe the £#%&!ing floor with them from a spending pov we’ve no £#%&!ing choice. A player they get for £1m would be £#%&!ing £20m for us. It’s a stupid argument.

Not to mention the goal we scored came from a youth team graduate, their dodgy penalty came from a player who they signed this summer.

reaching a bit here

TBF to them, having so many academy players in a team that is playing in Europe against the likes of utd is no mean feat, not that we wouldn't have done them H&A if the refs weren't idiots.

From what I'm told kids just play loads more football in Spain, loads more facilities and the weather no doubt helps, whereas in England is just full of No ball games signs and Keep off the grass

This is true, hardly any football going on today for kids around the UK.....after two training sessions this week...
