why are we not finishing teams off? score one after the other?
it all has to do with our lack of consistency. but it's getting better. we're starting to score goals and gel much more. it will get better.
 
Full Time 2-1 Qualified for the last sixteen.Feel that we can get to the final.
 
i think this is the year we win it again. we've got the squad for it. so much depth and so many attacking options, just like in 99.
 
Lyon are a fantastic team. Surely one of the best to come to old trafford in recent years.
 
ah was a class game, a great performance from us. A couple feck ups, and a couple nervous moments, but all in all great.

God damn Tommy Smyth though. feckin old fart talkin shit on Ronaldo, saying how easy he went down when he was fouled in the 79th minute. I mean fecking hell, there were two or three guys around him, kicking at him, and tugging on his shirt, what the feck
 
Brown as cover for the right wing anyone? Why not? Fast, can take men on, good crossing.....

But it's very typical of Ron admit it!

Oh, I'm not saying he doesn't go down failry easy sometimes, it's justthat, in that instance, I don't think he went down easy at all. He fought through all the kicking, and almost the shirt tug, but I think one last boot got him down..
 
Congratulations to MU !

Great game between 2 good teams. See you next time (maybe in 1/4 ;) ) and with all our forces (too much injuries tonight for Lyon :( ) I hope we'll get a revenge !
 
Lyon played very well and passed the ball around very well. They just didn't have a through ball though. Man utd played well as well but they did seem to just pass straight through you at times which might be a slight concern. Good game to watch though.

Amusing to see some Man utd fans boo Wiltord as well, I guess they haven't forgiven him for his goal at Old Trafford. :)

Sparta Prague also went through our midfield quite easily. Still as long as we're winning....

You have a strange sense of humor if you think a football crowd booing a player is 'amusing'. :confused:
 
just want to say thanks to dangercat!!! (if no one has thanked him already!!) Keep it up!!!!

And incidentally :devil: , well done SAF, well done lads.... we need to have these wins more often!!!!!!
 
Lyon coach Paul Le Guen was magnanimous in defeat after the 2-1 reverse to Manchester United.

The visiting boss saw his side cope well against The Red Devils before succumbing to Ruud van Nistelrooy's second half header.

With the French champions already assured of a place in the knockout stages, Le Guen was not too downhearted after the loss.

"Obviously I am a little disappointed," he said at Old Trafford afterwards.

"Even if the defeat is quite logical considering the number of dangerous opportunities the English side has created.

"But my players fought a lot and they did their best.

"With all the trouble we faced, it is already very nice to manage such a match.

"So I am disappointed with the result but not with the way we played.

"I congratulate Manchester. They deserved to win."

Good lad. :)
