sorry to bring dunphy into this, but he just went through the inter team and pretty much called them all donkeys. well maybe not donkeys, but all just 'ok' and 'average'.

just some snippets....apparantly ibra is merely tall and awkward, cambiasso's useful, and he didn't even mention maicon whose being impressive as hell this season.

anyway...in terms of utd i think there's a point to be made in no rooney being a weird move. fergie could prove me wrong but it's weird. as well as giggs in centre mid instead of scholes??

interesting evening ahead i feel.

i fancy 1-1 though. based on not a lot more than a hunch i'll admit.

I remember when the Man Utd squad was announced against Chelsea and plenty of fans was like 'wtf'. Fergie obviously has a game plan.

Well Dunphy's assessment of Inter eased my concerns. Julio Cesar is an 'accident waiting to happen', Ibrahimovic is 'tall and awkward', Adriano is 'a playboy, overweight Brazilian', Stankovic is 'okay at best' and Cambiasso is 'decent'. Nothing to worry about so, lads...:rolleyes:

Thats eased my fears too somewhat. Gas about Julio Cesar too. lets hipe that accident happens tonight!:p

LOL at Dunphy, I really wish I could see it. I think Inter will score 2 tonight but I'm hoping Utd score because I think it will be a great game at OT if its 2-1 going into it because both teams will have to attack(I cant see Utd not scoring at OT).

Ugh, Dunphy demostrating his complete lack of any knowledge of any non-English teams.

Indeed his summmary of inter was laughable.

Couldn't believe it when he said ibra is not as good as Ronaldo, and we know how much he *loves* Ronnie! :rolleyes:

hopefully he doesn't and i get proven right :cool:

in terms of it being a screw up by fergie, not the 1-1 draw i predicted, as that would more than likely mean you're through.

Spud83

Scholes was never gonna start tonight after playing two games last week.

Tevez was never gonna start.

The only surprise is park/fletcher instead of Rooney.

SlickRic

dunphy needs to shut up.

managed to get in a dig on ronaldo while talking about ibra, which i'm all for, but at least take a dig at something that's not a clichéd, tired line like 'he doesn't perform when you really need him in big games'.

i didn't think people were still peddling this line? apparently i was wrong. although lumping dunphy in with right minded people probably is a bit of a push.

freakin' idiot.

I'm surprised you guys are bigging Inter up so much. Fully expect United to get the draw that Fergie wants. They'll take that back to the home leg, then unleash Ronaldo, Rooney and Berbatov and destroy Inter.

Tom65

Here's the inevitable question: does anyone have a decent stream?

Fecking RTE and their 'no streaming abroad' policy.

Alternatively does anyone know if ITV will be showing the matches online? They do occasionally, but nothing is happening at the moment.

i'm surprised you're arrogant enough to believe it's going to be as easy as that against Italy's top team, managed by a guy whose only lost once against fergie. utd won't simply do as they wish.

i fully expect this to be close. all evidence points to it being so. if it's not, your confidence will end up looking well placed i'll admit. it's just bloody well not likely.

Forgot we have to wear the white socks this eve - never have a good feeling when we do

Do normally post European games and look what happen last year:D:D

eclectichoney

Cmon lads - give it loads!

Raskolnikov

I'm not being arrogant, I'm simply going by previous Champions League records.

Inter have a dismal record in the Champions League. Ibrahimovic has consistently flopped along with most of his team mates.

Zonda999

Chance here i hope

Headshot

Ronaldo could be a real dangerman tonight

KevIRL

OT I know, but there will be some on this thread interested. Lawro said on tonights Last Word that Rafa has walked out on Liverpool.

There's discussion of it on the Liverpool thread, with most sayin its nonsense, but I thought I'd let United fans on here know

LuckyLloyd

Atmosphere pretty intimidating...

ROCKMAN

yesssssssssssssssssssssssss


Ronaldo hits the target:D





What the F**k are them boots about ????

IvySlayer

Ooooh O'Shea...made me heart stop...

Tom65

I'm just going to start crying. Why is there no stream anywhere!?

LuckyLloyd

O' Shea seems to be a little rattled

SlickRic

adriano already thinks he has all the time in the world.

lol at o'shea. good start for him

Get a TV, put in the pipe and watch on RTE 2.

I swear I should start charging people a euro to enter me house and watch the footie. I'd be rich!

LuckyLloyd

The 'Disaster waiting to happen' makes a fine stop to deny Ronaldo from a corner

leggo

JESUS!

Some very weak defending on the corner from Inter there. Who knows, maybe a win mightn't be that optimistic? We certainly seem the fresher so far.

Heisenberg.

Very close by Ronaldo!

SlickRic

not a good sign for inter that corner.

great reaction save from cesar though.

ronaldo has started great.

utd are playing great stuff so far

Yeah i'd say he wants to show those inter fans something savage. Inter aint as attacking as i thought they'd be

EDIT: Nice cross Sully:)

I hate Italian fans and their incessant jeering of the Opposition when they have the ball. Wtf is the point!

Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Russian, Korean etc, etc do it. It ramps up the pressure on the opposition and makes it more difficult for them to communicate going forward...

leggo

I'm starting to think that Fergie leaving out Rooney was just a risky mind-game. United seem to really want to go for the early goal, they've defo got Inter on the backfoot. Strange...but if the shoe fits...

:o

They don't....:o:o...have RTE 2 in Sweden..:o:o

LuckyLloyd

Very good start for Utd. Look compact and composed without the ball, and have been able to hold on to it and move it about when they have it...

Photi

try here No sound though

SlickRic

inter obviously don't believe all the ronaldo free-kick hype...

LuckyLloyd

Inter have a packed San Siro on their side and a crowd that seems really up for it. Why they haven't come out and really got in Utd's face and pressed them high up the pitch is beyond me...

I love you I knew myp2p had stopped showing EPL matches, forgot they show CL. Thanks!

What I would do for RTE in Sweden. Actually, that's a complete lie. I just want their CL coverage

Raskolnikov

Good game so far. Surprisingly open, could be a few goals here.

United fans must be loving Muntari so far.

Well, they don't have Paul Robinson in goal!!

Bubs101

Inter are looking very poor

ghouldaddy07

Really hope rooney gets on early in the second half as I could see him bagging a goal.

MementoMori

Poorish by Berbatov there - suppose not many options
