2011/2012 UEFA Champions League

[Jimmy]

I think I'll end up watching the game, I hope it's good. Every other United game since their loss to City has seemed boring, really. Hope Berbatov makes an appearance tonight, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Starvinho]

Berba is injured apparently along with Owen and Hernandez, good job Welbeck is fit again.

[Starvinho]

Just had a look and if we finish second in our group, which it looks like we will if we get a result tonight, then we'll get one of Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan or Apoel in the last 16. Could be a potential tricky draw for us, we're Man United though, we should get Apoel

United team vs Basel: De Gea, Smalling, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Young, Jones, Giggs, Park, Nani, Rooney

Subs: Lindegaard, Evans, Fletcher, Valencia, Gibson, Welbeck, Macheda

Bricking it. A goal for us before half time is vital. I don't want any second half nerves.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

We've had some entertaining games Split, mostly in the CL with Benfica and Basle, two cracking games really.

Also, IF we finish second, Inter or Apoel would be a fantastic draw for us. Any of the other three would be tough as shit though. I'd have no problem with them as whether we're on average form or not, I always want to go up against the best. Bayern would probably be an amazing two legged tie.

Hoping for a top performance tonight. Hopefully we're not too short up top with just Rooney up there either, which I've found we've done quite a few times this season.

Bit late on this but last nights action was quality. Very happy to see Drog put in a performance like the Drog of old. I fear that they may be far and few between but last night was good stuff. Too strong for the defenders and calm finishing. Gotta Echo love for Mata too, I've only started to notice how good he is the past couple of games, but he's got a very good touch. I don't really worry for AVB too much when he can get results like this even if it isn't from his preferred system.

Marseille anyone? Valbuena is too fucking good. Goal of the month already. Won't be beaten.

Oh Arsenal, and just when I thought Arshavin was going to put in a good performance (although granted I only saw highlights for this match) but nothing doing yet. Has he done anything for the past year?

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Bayern typically resting quite a few players, so I fancy City to win that one.

So here's hoping Napoli can do the business in Spain.

1 Benfica 6 12

2 FC Basel 6 11

3 Man Utd 6 9

4 Otelul Galati 6 0

[DavidMarrio]

I'm not getting my hopes up just yet cause I know Man U will probably get a jammy goal out of somewhere....

[MDK]

I love having two monitors, I've got both games on

[Dan]

David Silva, what a fucking goal!

Me too Myke

[MDK]

Oooh, pick it out, Silva!

[Colly]

Urrrrrgh, Vidics knee!

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

One nil down in a game we're dominating, City leading and currently going through and now Vidic is out with what looks like a pretty bad injury.

Can things really get any worst?

[Starvinho]

We just can't score at all at the moment, hopefully we'll sort it out second half. Hopefully Vidic's injury isn't as bad as it looked.

Hopefully we'll find out in 45mins if it can get worse

[Dingle]

Just waiting for the United half-time round up since I've been watching the City game.

Some fantastic stuff from David Silva, Aguero and Touré (despite that silly pass he gave away!). I'm hoping City get through here but where's Mario?

SportsNet is a horrible channel.

[Baddar]

haha (totally intended) - and ugh, this is hard to watch. We need some cunt to put it in the net, that's all. Rooney failed from two yards, that's how bad things are. Kiko to come on and save us!

[MJB]

I'll defend De Gea to the hills and back but oh dear young man, what have you done?

And that could be the season with Vida, but it's okay because we've got Jonny Evans

[hugobomb]

2-0 City.

Bloody Hell! Lyon have scored 3 in 3 minutes in their game
