Ist half, terrible. 2nd half, fabulous.

Sums us up as a team, but if you compare the passing of the second half, with urgency, first touch and accurate. Why can't we do this for 90 min? Bruno best game in about 10, hopefully to be resumed on Sunday!

We can Gdańsk if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't Gdańsk
And if they don't Gdańsk
Well, they're no friends of mine...

When we turn it on we really turn it on. Walked over 1st half but in the 2nd we decided to play and boy did we play. Nothing short of amazing.

Bruno. What a player.
I couldnt believe what I was seeing in the second half! An amazing performance! Ive no idea what Ole said at half time but it worked!

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Great performances from Cav, Bruno, Pogba but Cavani just edged it for me as my MOTM

Top scorers in the top 5 leagues:
1. Ronaldo
2. Messi
3. Cavani

Cavani can spend half the season injured again next season. I don't care. Just keep mentoring Greenwood and working this magic when he's on the pitch and I'll be over the moon.

Fed up, frustrated, feeling like the season is slipping away when it was halftime. Absolutely buzzing and really excited for the rest of the season by full time. This is exactly what being a football fan is all about. What a game.

An almost perfect performance by Cavani in the 2nd half. Bruno, Shaw and Pogba all fantastic too.

1st half was still a disgrace but all is forgiven. We are the 2nd half masters.

What a second half performance!

Ole has his own hairdryer style.

I still have no idea where our defense was for their second goal, but feck it.

Onwards!

Cavani, Shaw, Fernandes, Pogba. Greenwood from the bench. Fantastic stuff.

Brilliant second half. Was an excellent start to the game too, just incredibly sloppy 2 goals to give away and then a stop-start end to the first half. But excellent result, Cavani and Bruno and Pogba were magnificent. Roma are really shit.

Just finished work , seems like a tale of two halves. I taped the game, should I just watch the second half?

Sensational stuff. Pogba, Bruno and Cavani together, on form, are ridiculous to watch. Delighted Mason got in on the action to, Ole looked absolutely buzzing when scored :lol:

That puts our semi final woes under Ole to bed. On to the final.

Glad to see Ole on the touchline at 3-2, shouting at the team to keep the tempo up and keep the ball moving. Players were just looking like they had taken the foot off the pedal knowing they had done the bulk of the hard work.

Team just took it on and kept attacking. Great to see us put the game to bed. Their 2 away goals lost all importance with that second half showing.

Also, we could had had more! Good stuff.

Wow. Just wow. I guess Ole's seen enough of Roma. 90 minutes of hot garbage. 6-2 flattered Roma.

What a sweet semi-final. Should have no problems next week. :devil:

Can't figure my MotM, though.... Cavani or Bruno... :confused:

20 shots... 11 on target... insanity. Shame we can't finish. :lol:

One thing was for sure: The lads were having fun tonight.

Smalling still has soft spot for us. Just like that Phil Neville "own goal".

The much maligned MCFred were amazing in the 2nd half and totally controlled that 2nd half
I think they won everything in the 2nd half
They do all the hard work and the others get the credit

Get in there. Like many was despairing at 2-1 and wondering how we could be losing but then we did our second half magic as usual.

You s**t Man Utd should have lost 5-0. Over hyped and over marketed EPL and Man Utd. Over hyped and over marketed EPL and Man Utd. Over hyped and over marketed EPL and Man Utd. I can't believe you believe the s**t they sell you. HAHAHAHA Serie A is the best league in the world. The EPL is a beer league. If you like watching drunken fools run around with no purpose - the long-ball along with kick-and-run football - then you watch the EPL. If you want to watch quality players use there minds and technical skills to beat their opponents then you watch Serie A. You English fans are stupid alcoholics - you just don't any better. It's mindless entertainment - the lowest form of football. English mothers drink when they carry their children and as result you all have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - all retards. The classic argument that you use is that the EPL is the most entertaining. Watching little kids play football is also entertaining, but it doesn't mean it's the best. Most of the best players from countries that actually have good players play in Serie A. This includes countries that actually win at international competitions such as Italy, Brazil, and Argentina (not overrated countries that never win eg. England and Spain - you guys are s**t). This is because the South Americans along with everyone else in the world hate Anglo-Saxons - the people are miserable, the country stinks, the weather is terrible, the food is a disgrace, you have no culture, and the EPL is horrific. Italy World Cups-4 vs. England-1 (fixed). Italy Euro Championships-1 vs. England-0. Italy Under 21 Euro Championships-5 vs. England-0. Total Italy-10 vs. England -1(fixed). England is s**t in more ways than one. Spain's record is even worse. The numbers speak for themselves. Serie A has dominated for 50 years, and now that people are starting to pay attention to that sh** football played on that miserable foggy rock you call England you think you're the best. Finally, if want a measure of the quality of European leagues league then look at the Champions League statistics. Once again, the numbers speak for themselves - Italian teams have been in the final 24 times and English teams have been it 13 times. THE NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES - YOU GUYS ARE S**T! Italy is the king of FOOTBALL, fashion, art, culture, history, design and architecture, cars, motorcycles, food, wine, luxury items, opera, ballet, etc. Italy has La Dolce Vita. England has the S**t Life. England is the king of nothing - GARBAGE DIRTY PEOPLE. I'VE BEEN IN YOUR HOMES. I know some stupid English person is going to comeback with argument about violence and corruption in Serie A, but don't be so naïve - take it from me - it happens in all leagues, including the EPL. Why do think your keepers are so bad - they take bribes from gangs and officials. HAHAHAHAHA (P.S. get used to this one because I'll cut and paste it until every member of your garbage race sees it).

please note this is a copypasta from 2007
