2010/2011 UEFA Champions League

[stokeriño]

Ancelotti says the formation is not 4-3-3, but won't say what it is.

Presumably this is code for "confused mish-mash".

[Hobo]

We need the the Mystic Society of no viperlike's.

That is what the whole board should be called.

[MJB]

United appear to have lined up in height order

[Liam]

See, when I initially tried to banish Johnny Perfect, I never realised that there would be an even greater threat to my sanity.

[Guest viperlike]

The longer Torres hair grows the better his form seems to become.

[stokeriño]

Ramires has improved so much now that he's had time to settle in. So often our best midfielder these days.

[MJB]

Anybody know where Darren Fletcher is?

Can't remember him getting injured in a game, training maybe? Or a suspension?

[stokeriño]

I think he's had a virus of some sort for a while.

[Guest viperlike]

Never offside, joke of refs on Chelsea's side again.

[MJB]

Oh bloody hell that was close. I thought the benefit of the doubt was supposed to go to the attacker

Edwin Van Der Sar just made my heart stop

John O'Shea has been fucking dreadful

[Guest viperlike]

John O'Shea has been fucking dreadful

He's got two left feet.

He will never appear on dancing with the stars.

[MJB]

FUCKING YES!

CHICHARITO!

Lovely team goal, again.

[Guest viperlike]

Hernando! Ryan Giggs is still such a fuckin important player for us!

[Starvinho]

1-0 half-time and I fucking love that Little Pea!

[Baddar]

O'Shea hasn't been dreadful at all. He's looked strong at the back, and yeah, wasn't very good going forward until his disguised ball to Giggs set up the goal for United. Get off his fucking back.

[MJB]

Decent last five minutes and the goal should be really crucial.

We were dominated for the opening 35 minutes though really. I'm so nervous whenever they go at O'Shea because Park doesn't seem to be helping him out. Also, going forward, O'Shea is terrible, really terrible. Giggs and Carrick have been over run in midfield and a Scholes or Fletcher would really help right about now. But Giggs was the man in the goal really. Lovely move and great finish from the Little Pea. Rooney is still trying to pull the strings but credit to Essien for sticking with him.

Ramires is their best player at the minute so someone needs to sit on him in the second half. Nani has the run on Ivanovic though, as does Evra. Really glad that Rio appears to have run that knock off. I expect Drogba right now though so it'll be upto Vidic, Ferdinand and Van Der Sar to keep him and the rest of them out.

Come on United!

EDIT: Oh Baddar he has been bad. I'll agree that the reverse pass was brilliant, but up untill that point, he's dived in several times where he should've stayed on his feet and has been rightly booked by the referee, who I might add has had a good first half. Going forward, he's been our out ball on so many occassions and between him and Park, they've managed to balls it up more often than not. Rooney and Giggs have had to come out to the right several times to bail them out.

I say bring on Valencia for Park

Messi has scored his 48th goal of the season. Christ.

[MJB]

Forgot about that game. Barca winning I take it?

[therockbox]

Messi has scored his 48th goal of the season. Christ.

And Ben Shepherd on Sky said Messi's weakness is that he's 'too cute' with his finishing
