    Berner Sport Club Young Boys, commonly known as Young Boys of Bern or Young Boys, nicknamed Die Gelb-Schwarzen (Yellow and Blacks) and abbreviated to YB (pronounced ebay, like the website), is a Swiss sports club based in the capital city Bern. One of the most successful club in the nations, Young Boys have won 12 Swiss league championships and six Swiss Cups, and in 1957, they were named the Swiss team of the year. Young Boys is also one of the most successful Swiss football clubs internationally, and reached the semi-finals of the European Cup in the 1958–59 season.

    The club was founded on 14 March 1898 after a game of football with the Basel Old Boys Association playing against FC Bern as Fussballclub Young Boys by brothers Max and Oscar Schwab, Hermann Bauer and Franz Kehrli — who were studying at the University of Bern. The slightly older FC Bern submitted an offer to the YB leadership to provide grounds, changing rooms, and equipment if these students would play as a team affiliated with FCB with Young Boys still retaining their own leadership and statutes. In 1925, the association's name was changed from FC Young Boys to Berner Sport Club Young Boys. This year was also the last game on the old Spitalacker-platz as in October, the new Wankdorf Stadium by the architects Scherler & Berger was opened with a tournament. It was attended by the Old Boys from Basel, Servette Geneva, and the Young Boys.

    YB enjoyed its most successful period between 1957 and 1960 under German coach Albert Sing, when it won the title four times in a row and reached the semi-final of the European Champion Clubs’ Cup (now the Champions League). And in recent years, the Young Boys have been attracting attention in the European Cup: the club reached the group stage of the Europa League in 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2017. And in 2018, after a break of 32 years, Young Boys became Swiss Champion for the 12th time. The team plays their home games at the Stade de Suisse Wankdorf.

    Hmmm. If we play like we did today, we should lose.

    Struggling to really care at this point. That being said, the CL is our sole hope of any sort of enjoyment this season so hopefully we can pull a win together and get through the group.

    Will it be better to win this and progress or lose it and drop to Europa, which may give us a better chance to qualify for the CL? Plus, another trophy. :drool: huh?huh?huh?

    As crazy as it is that may be our next bet for CL next year but then again Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs will be in the Europa League too.

    I'm definitely not staying up to watch this. Will be the first United game I've deliberately missed for well over 10 years.

    Kind of thought about this for a few months now but in all honesty I doubt we’d be in amongst the favourites to win it even if we drop out of the champs league.

    Don't care to be honest.

    ---------------------DDG---------------------
    Darmian----Smalling---Bailly---------Shaw
    --------------------Matic---------------------
    -----------Fred--------------Pogba-----------
    Mata--------------Lukaku--------------Rashford

    (side note, read that 11 through and convince me it's not a mid-table team, if you take DDG and Pogba out....ESPECIALLY the back 4).

    SUBS - Herrera (Fred), Fellaini (Mata), Sanchez (Rashford)

    Man United 2 - 1 Young Boys
    Mata, Pogba (pen)

    We'll paper over the cracks. Win here, win against Southampton, lose against Arsenal... The cycle will continue.

    Perfect fixture for pressure to cool off and fickle fans to change votes again. Qualify for the next round with a win and use that to defend the pretentious twat of a boss until the knockout round begins.

    Yes, I was only kidding. We aren't winning that either in our current state. We are on a serious downward spiral and not getting out of it before we sack the manager. Just have to go through the motions now until we are mathematically out of the top 4. What a waste of the season. The bad part is that the writing was on the wall after Jose started acting out on the tour. Anyone whose head wasn't too far up Jose's ass could see this coming from miles away. Still Eddy and the board decided to do nothing about it. It's on them now. Really pathetic and frustrating situation.

    Every time we get to the champions league I so look forward it, but each and every time since Sir Alex's departure it has ended in disappointment. I wonder what is the point of it is anymore. We are a bargain bin Arsenal under Wenger these days. At least they could claim to play decent football at times and only losing to Bayern or another top team. We get humiliated by some of the most mediocre teams in world football. In fact, Moyes has done the best in the champions league with us since 2012-13, figure that one out.

    If Lindelof is out injured.

    De Gea
    Dalot---Bailly---Smalling---Shaw
    Pereira
    Fred---Pogba
    Rashford---Sanchez---Martial

    Subs: Lukaku, Lingard, Herrera, Fellaini, Young, Darmian, Romero.​

    I'm guessig Jones will be playing as Lidelof is injured and Jones was te CB chosen for the bench yesterday. I tink Fred might well get a start as well as Rashford, but the latter will be on the wing rather than in place of Lukaku.
