Manchester United v Barcelona : Official Match Thread : 23.2.23 8pm

Think Weghorst misses out tonight.

Midfield 3 of the Case, Indigestion tablet and Fred

Francisco Franco, fat one from ‘92 Olympics, Gipsyium, blood bag guy, Guernica, lisps - your boys are about to take one hell of a beating

Yep - really want to win it this season and like you, never ever play in it again.

Can't be turning our noses up at European silverware

Yep 👍

Buzzing for this It’s great to have the big nights back at OT

If we win this then surely we would be favourites to win the whole competition.

There's some huge teams left in, not sure where this narrative comes from...

Like who?

If we knock out Barca theres nothing left to fear.

Arsenal? Theyre nothing special, and will probs prioritise the league.

Juve? Drew first leg at home to bloody Nantes. $#*! these days.

Who else is there?

Juve
Arsenal
Roma
Ajax

These are all decent sides, it's not "name on the trophy" time ...

Didn’t say name on the trophy, but I feel we would be favourites….or there abouts.

Maybe I am being too optimistic

Oh jump on the optimism train pal, don't let me stop you ....

I'm just a one game at a time guy currently ...

It's a great time to be a red

Been working near OT today, already loads of fans buzzing about, swag lads doing a roaring trade

Great to see people finally recognize this as a real trophy

Ten hours sleep in two nights means I’ll not be able to stay up for it will watch in the morning and do a real time read of the match thread.

GGMU

Very calm about this one. If we go out it’s not the end of the world. It’s Barca ffs etc. think we’ll win - the crowd will carry us and Barca won’t know what’s hit them given they’re used to crowds creating barely audible white noise with that irritating England style $#*! drum beat sound.

2-1

$#*!ing bricks re Sunday though. Lose that and it’s media blackout defcon 4 post city 1-6 protocol.

Bigger than the CL final tbh

Spanish press are in a frenzy over it - a "Titanic" game.

3-1 Utd.

Buzzing my #@&%! off. Not been looking forward to a game like this for a long time. There is more media interest in this one than any Champions league game.

The suns out, the stars are aligned...well they will be later. Viva United!

Bring on Sunderland and Arsenal,
Bring on Spaniards by the score,
Barcelona, Real Madrid,
They will make a gallant bid,
But they'll only know the reason why we roar.

My biggest concern is FDJ tonight, even though he was pretty much anonymous in the first leg. My second biggest concern is the hangover I'll have in the morning. Come on you reds.

Start well and I can see a 3-1 victory, place will be buzzing, suns out......


Bring it on..

Im feeling optomistic aswell & that is all down to the manner & style in which, ETH is managing these players

barca will cheat, the ref will be $#*! and cass and rashford will probably get injured. even if we win, we will probably lose to some $#*!e in the final, having exhausted our players for the title push. £#%&! it, I am even expecting 10,000 rats at old trafford now.
