Nothing?

allybhoy

Ohh Sheridan just over! he's having a good battle with Vidic tonight, should prove to be a great experience, ah balls he's coming off for Donati ffs.

Smegball

For christ sake this is frustrating, Rooney on please.

Mitch Connor

Ah right, the 70k a week he earns was confusing me.

Mitch Connor

[desperation]
PASSBACK!!

Aquos76

evra on for rafael

Mitch Connor

Tevez should have laid it off for Fletcher for the easy tap-in. I can't believe that.

anonymous_joe

I want a goal.

Aquos76

Rooney on for Tevez

Peyton Manning

Ryan Giggs has turned into a player who wouldnt get into any starting 11 in the majority of Premier League teams.

Mitch Connor

I can't believe Giggs is going to last the 90 minutes. has been terrible from start to finish. Fingers crossed it means he won't be starting against Arsenal.

ROCKMAN

I know I want him rested even some chill out time , BUT THANK F**K about time.
ROOOOONEY

Peyton Manning

Villareal take the lead again.

Mitch Connor

Ref may as well blow it up now. Useless.

2-2 now

Ladyboy ronaldo kicking out at Brown there, should have been at least a booking.

ROCKMAN

Whats the odds on Ronaldo going down soft for a peno in the last minute

juvenal

Under the way the rules are applied in the game nowadays, Ronaldo should've seen a straight red there for that petulant kick. If that was against him, he would've been stretchered off to the local hospital

LuckyLloyd

Ye need more long shots when you have the ball in central areas. Keep it low and hard and you may luckbox a deflection.

That would be some laugh alright.:D

Daysha

FFS how many times have we failed to beat the first man from a cross-in?

GrumPy

They need to sign rory delap :pac:

I don't think Rooney, Tevez, Fletcher, Nani, Anderson..... would have much luck doing anything with one of his throws.

juvenal

Giggs header from a Ronaldo shot parried by Boruc.

1-1

Headshot

thats why giggs was left on:pac:

PHB

Ronaldo's shot took a wicked swerve and a fantastic save from the keeper. Giggs did well to follow up.

Aquos76

"Useless" Giggs scores 1-1

Mitch Connor

Damn it, Giggs always manages to justify 90 minutes of crap and keep himself in the team.

I mean, YAY!

Mr.Nice Guy

Yes my 2-1 prediction is still on. Come on Berbatov!

Or a rebound. Justice - though Celtic have worked their balls off and it's hard on them.

Mitch Connor

they bette rnot screw this up now.

Peyton Manning

I wont let a rebound goal gloss over his sh!te performance, but get f*cking in....

Wouldn't say so myself - he is a bit rusty at the moment, but generally I would say he has very good technique.

LuckyLloyd

Observers of the Scottish league can let me know if I'm way off base here as I only see Celtic's European games / odd Rangers game; but this seems to be by far the most limited squad Celtic have had since O' Neill took over*.

*i.e. through both his and Strachan's time in charge.

ya thats probly it

ill let him off this time:D

Mitch Connor

No Naka, McGeady, Samaras or JVOH - a good bit of their dynamism and attacking threat gone with those players.

PHB

Shocking Berbatov, shocking.

I'll take the draw. Another poor performance. United better get a ****ing grip for Arsenal.

Headshot

berba commmmmmmon

that should have been buried

Mitch Connor

Berbatov should have won it with that at the end. Poor miss.

Draw is a fair result in the end.

Mr.Nice Guy

Oh Berba!

Chong

At least it finished 2-2 in Denmark!

Harsh on Berbs

Good man Giggsy, you Legend!

Indeed, have they always had such poor depth though?
