Had no idea they were playing tonight (I actually just assumed they would be playing on Thursday).
I'll be watching the Bayern and then Seville matches.

Got to win this tonight otherwise they are well in the shit in this group. Copenhagen give Munich problems, the rags defence is like a creaky rusty gate, if the visitors have anyone who can finish it might be a long night.
 
@paulchapo - came in here to avoid doing on the Bobby Charlton thread what I had accused others of doing.

I don't find either statements any worse than Bill Shankly saying "there are only two teams in Liverpool - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves." I think fans had thicker skin back then.

I agree he was a bully. We saw it countless times with journalists, referees and his own players but honestly - and I lived through it all - I think we got off quite lightly considering we're his team's local rivals. His comment about knocking Liverpool "right off their fucking perch" had far more vitriol than anything he said about City in my eyes. He also said about Real Madrid that "I wouldn't sell that lot a virus." There's the supposed team talk before the last game of the season - "Lads, it's Tottenham."

One poster was annoyed that Erik Tent Peg had dedicated their win to Charlton's family on Saturday night because it was only Sheffield United and it was only 2-1. My point is that sometimes, a microphone is thrust under a manager's nose and a ridiculous question asked. They've got a couple of seconds to think of an answer that deals with the question, is the right angle from their own club and doesn't offend another club or their fans.

It's all about opinions. I simply thought the Bobby Charlton thread has been derailed numerous times and was turning into another United thread.

You're right Ferguson had no vitriol for us. The way he treated us was worse than that. We were low and he mocked us and laughed at us. And the press lapped it up.
