The way some Man U fans are going on on facebook (mostly in Engrish) you'd think they'd been relegated. Oh no, for one season you only get to play in the Champions League for a little bit and then you have to play in the Europa League. Oh, but you'll stand by the club? Wow, there's loyalty, I salute you. When people next sing "Where were you when you were shit" you can tell them about those dark days when there was a season when you only won two trophies and didn't get into the knockout stages of the CL.

So the way it panned out, London [Chelsea/Arsenal] went through and Manchester got booted out. Hahaha.

Another injury, though... Did we really need another one? That's the Da Silva twins, Vidic, Anderson, Cleverly, Berbatov, Chicharito and Owen out... Unless I missed someone?

Something seriously dodgy has gone on in the Champions League by the looks of it. There needed to be a seven goal swing for Lyon to qualify in place of Ajax. Akax had two goals wrongly disallowed and Dinamo basically stopped playing and let a bemused looking Lyon cruise to a 7-1 win including a hat-trick within 7 minutes, with the Dinamo goalkeeper seen to wink at one of their strikers as he gave him the ball back after one of the goals. French betting authorities are launching an urgent investigation.

Not the first time Dinamo Zagreb have been accused of throwing matches, either

From last year.
"According to Nacional's source, a foreigner close to UEFA, at least two games played in European competitions by Zagreb-based Dinamo football club are being investigated. Those played against Romanian side Timisoara and English side Arsenal. German police have in their possession circumstantial evidence that Dinamo club officials influenced some players on the team to play below their level in order that Dinamo lose those matches."

That's one injury that could well cost us the PL title :( Hopefully the performance yesterday (and basically the whole CL) will convince Fergie to spend some money. It was a mistake to not invest in our MF, the DF part was just bad luck yesterday, but our MF really needs investment now.

I agree, the central midfield needs real improvement.

Rooney is the one of the most inconsistent and overhyped striker in the EPL.
lol, just lol
rooney on a roll is top 3 in the world

Yeah, but every time he gets on a roll he does something fucking stupid like shag a granny hooker behind his fiancee's back, or kick someone, or swear at a camera, or sarcastically clap in a referee's face, or have a threesome in a hotel when his wife is pregnant and suddenly he becomes Emile Heskey again for 3 months while his tiny brain attempts to comprehend it all. The lad's thick as mince and he's always going to have these bad patches because of it.
