United thread 2017/18

[Blueknows]

What? They couldnt have been beaten as pfa player of the century Pogba played...this must be a mistake, after all they beat the mighty Newcastle 4 days ago!

Wait wernt they going to slay all in front of them with Pogba and Ibra back ??

Near the Jungfrau the Lion sleeps tonight.

 

[manchester blue]

I hear the mantra 'Jose will get us back to where we were' all the time from them.
They still don’t (or can’t) see that the single most important ingredient of the years of plenty has gone off to spend more time with his whisky,
and it’s not coming back.

Didn't know Howard Webb liked whisky.

 

[Blueknows]

I won't and I don't

And they wont
City
Chelsea
Spurs
Arselona
Rags
Red scouse
In that order

 

[Bilboblue]

No they don’t .... CSKA need to win and over turn a 5 goal difference with Basle, who are away at Benfica.

Basle will probably win too.

It's the commentators saying it needs a 7 goal win.

To get Thursday football it's seven.
Five for Barca, PSG or Besiktas.

Apparently he loved a drop of ‘auld pisscan'

Very sad to see quite a well known worsley lad Gary Lloyd passed away at weekend. Died after a fall at only 47. Was a real Salford lad and despite being a lifelong red was popular and well respected in the Lower leagues as a football agent. Saw Dickov pay tribute to him and he was also big mates with Steve eyre our former youth coach. Rest in peace.

United will get smashed in the knockout round - roy keane reckons they can compete....they can try roy but they will get beat lol

 

[BlueAnorak]

Oh dear....

This guy amuses me no end...

 

[abu13]

The next round certainly looks interesting with 2nd place teams likely to include Bayern, Juve, Real, Roma, Shaktar, all of whom I believe would overcome them over two legs, they can not draw Basel again but you can bet your life they get a nice draw again.

Poor sod’s in total denial.
He seems to think that they are still the team of 10 years ago.

 

[Impeccable One]

Even that’s not correct. There’s an 8 goal difference, if they win 5-0 that’s -5 on Uniteds goal difference.

Either way, I agree, United aren’t heading to Thursday nights, but they also can’t leave their first team back at OT.

 

[The perfect fumble]

roy keane reckons they can compete....

You don't say...

Is that a teddy bear sat behind him?

 

[canyerdogputoutafire]

I can't work out which 6 players Kean is saying would improve that team ( apart from the goalie).

 

[Swordfish7]

17.01 If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied in the order given to determine their rankings:
a. higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
b. superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question;
c. higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
d. higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question;
e. if, after having applied criteria a) to d), teams still have an equal ranking, criteria a) to d) are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria f) to l) apply;
f. superior goal difference in all group matches;
g. higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
h. higher number of away goals scored in all group matches;
i. higher number of wins in all group matches;
j. higher number of away wins in all group matches;
k. lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received in all group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points); l. higher club coefficient (see Annex D).

You have your pick of every decent full back and central midfielder in the world and you can't think of 5 more?
