If united lose those headlines will be writing themselves

Don't you mean when.....

 

[Cosimo]

The time for praying has begun.

...... and believing in miracles.

 

[Cosimo]

Lol, saved.

 

[Cosimo]

2 for Rooney. Watch this space..

Bookings.....

 

[Cosimo]

Another chance gone.

 

[Cosimo]

What were they chanting about Jose?

 

[Cosimo]

I hope there is a good plan B for the second half otherwise we'll all fall asleep.

 

[Cosimo]

Oh dear, mountain to climb now.

 

[Cosimo]

Bye bye Nani.

Game on now.

 

[Cosimo]

Red card or no, its good to see Alex Ferguson so damned angry.

 

[Cosimo]

1-1.

 

[Cosimo]

Yes, 1-2!

 

[Cosimo]

You can't blame that miss on the red card.

 

[Cosimo]

It would be very difficult to prove that. I'm saying the number of mysterious decisions that have gone against English teams in the Champions League is pretty high (Take Van Persie's red against Barca last season for example)

Stop looking for for excuses.

 

[Cosimo]

Super save!

 

[Cosimo]

Such a shame that the ref totally ruined it.

II bet you wouldn't be saying that if the red had gone the other way. It's a funny old game. Win some, lose some.

This thread will be great now, kinda like Chelsea v Barca in 2009 when Ovredo was ****.

That was robbery, this was only a mugging but it won't stop the fireworks.
