Tonight's football thread

It takes a few years to adjust to the Champions League. City had a hard group, but there's no excuse for United. I can't believe how sh*t they are at the moment. I bet they win the league though...

As a Gooner I'm looking forward to the next round :thumbup:

You're 5 Points behind us in the league, out of the Carling Cup, out of the Champions League and soon to be out of the FA cup - could this get any worse for you?

It's a grim night, no doubt, but the one thing keeping me going is that despite your half billion spent you're not in the top 16 teams in Europe either. You can make all the excuses in the world but the fact is that we're both out.

How did you get hold of that pic of me, first thing in the morning when the alarm goes off:sneaky:

Wonder what the betting that Arsenal and Chelsea were the only teams through to last 16!! plus possibility of stoke being only 1 through legitimately in the Europa league?
Anyone for manchester derby in the Europa league final? Danbert must be rubbing his hands with another possibility of man u humiliation.

Indeed biara indeed. As for tonight, at least we made a decent showing of ourselves in the hardest group in the competition, rather than making an arse of one of the easiest. Bloody hell, that's embarrassing for them. It's almost cheered me up. ;)

I don't normally wish injury on players, not even rags, but I hope Vidic is out for a while now. He's the one that's been holding it all together at the back since the 6-1. 5 league games since then with no goals conceded from open play, and Vidic has played in all of them.

Question is, can Aguero, Silva et al. and Rooney, Nani et al. do it on a wet Thursday night in Stoke?

needless to say a Spurs supporting friend of mine is getting on my wick at the moment...

No ba-ba the real question is ''will the rags even qualify for the champions league this season?'' I'm starting to believe they wont even make the top 4 , I wonder what odds that is ? Then it really is meltdown for them !!! :thumbup:
