props to hargreaves as well, good performance for us tonight.

 

[Azza]

ROFL.

Man U fans shouting shoot when Nevile gets the ball.

 

[nikebee]

Lovely little buildup play from Rooney to put Park in... he really should have done better.

 

[Anders0n]

**** night on the betting front. Barca are just hopeless, United will get to the Final with ease. So will we I reckon, Avram Grant doesn't know his ass from his elbow, especially when it comes to tactics.

 

[nikebee]

Wayhey, all over

Two clean sheets, two wins... can't ask more than that really!

Pretty ordinary game, containment football and just insuring that we got through with no fuss.

 

[DanH84]

some very tasty semi finals coming up then. pleased with tonights performance, it wasn't particularly exciting but it was controlled and conservative. considering the changes we made not bad at all.

 

[Ripper]

One man team

 

[jakeke]

Can't believe Roma are the best Italy currently have to offer, the EPL is so good

 

[Ripper]

In other news, Puyol was booked tonight and misses the first leg against us.

 

[[ASSE]Hinchy]

Good for United that Puyol will miss the first leg. Is the first leg at Old Trafford or Nou Camp?

Bad for United that Park still plays. Don't think I've ever seen him have a good game.

Obscenely strong at the moment, forget United I can't think of any european teams at the moment even on par with the premier leagues top 3.

 

[TripleT]

First leg at Nou Camp

 

[wedgie]

Utd away first leg.

Thought Park was alright tonight, and he had a good game last week and at the weekend when he came on.

 

[Anksy]

Utd away first leg.

And lovin it

I thought it was anything but controlled, especially the first half where it was end to end with Roma getting a few chances to score without having to work for it. Play like that against arsenal at the weekend and man utd will lose.

If vidic was fit i would have no problem in backing utd to cruise pass barcelona. If he isn't barca will get the chances to score and depends on how many they take. Could be a real goal fest for both sides!

 

[Anders0n]

Is this United's year?

Indeed. At the start of the season i'd have said the 4 teams left were the 4 most likely of winning it this year.

sorry but at no point did i feel particularly threatened by them, maybe if they'd have scored the penalty but lets be fair it was a very soft penalty. We won't play that way against Arsenal because we played tonights game with Sundays game in mind.

In a strange way i'd have thought being at home in the first leg may have suited you better.

Barca have got to be favourites for the first leg and you won't want to go into the 2nd leg chasing the game and leaving big gaps for Messi, Henry etc. Had you been at home first and got the lead (which you'd have been favourites to do) then Barca would have had the problem of chasing the game and risking you picking them off on the break.
