The real red devils
I'm surprised you guys seem that confident. There are definitely easier groups out there and arguably not a single group is harder than yours.

Roma, Sporting and Kiev away look like matches you possibly won't win. Leaves a slip up at home against Roma or Sporting and you could go out.

The CL group stage has been pretty worthless lately with little surprises but for sure you guys must remember 2 seasons ago ;)

It's a tricky group, but United shouldn't drop a single point at home against any of those teams. That all but guarantees their qualification there and then. They'll struggle to win in Rome and Kiev though, although I can see them beating Sporting in Lisbon.

nice trip home for ronnie and nani.

Phew we played crap again but got the 3 pts.
you weren't watching the same match I was. was there another team on the park? on the other hand playing for a draw against united last year was suicide, this year teams are getting away with it far too often

I like hargreaves though. there's no such thing as a hopeless cause in his language, he just keeps on chasing

oh and it's clearly impossible for united to get penalties at old trafford, that was the most obvious handball you'll ever see, the refs clearly hate us, whine whine snivel snivel etc. somehow I think the dummy-spit brigade are going to be conspicuous by their silence on this one :rolleyes:

Yet again we completely dominate but struggle to create decent chances, welcome back Saha we need you at the moment! It will also be great to have Ronaldo back, we are missing his creativeness.

Agree about Hargreaves, he is a fantastic player and just works so hard. That handball was pretty clear to me, when was the last time United were awarded a penalty at Old Trafford? :rolleyes: :confused: ;)
