Braga vs Manchester United. Setanta Ireland, Sky sports 4

IncognitoMan

My first matchtread

United can qualify tonight as long as they avoid defeat in portugal tonight. Hopefully a win to put us through and in a comfortable position to top the group. Im going 1-2 United with Hernandez keeping up his excellent form

Setanta Ireland is free to air for the match tonight too for those without sports subs.

Just adding to your post, and so as to avoid confusion when people realize this isn't on terrestrial tv - Setanta is free to view tonight, not free to air, meaning you still need a valid Sky sub to watch the game. You wont pick it up for free on a Freesat or FTA box.

1-1. Much depends on team but think we do enough to qualify . Like get it over with asap

Vic Vinegar

Smalling to get a game tonight i think at the expense of Ferdinand or Rafael (who both could do with a rest!)

Anderson and Cleverley in midfield, Hernandez up top

Marginal victory for Man Utd i think.

Corvo

I know it's unlikely, but would love to see Henriquez start or get a few minutes.

Anyway. 1-0.

Liam O

Will be a very strong team I reckon so that the reserves can play the last 2 games without any risk.

Copper_pipe

3-0 win with Chico getting 2

Chancer3001

ill predict a team for the laugh

Lindegaard, buttner, smalling, evans, raf. Clev and Ando. Nani and Young. Rooney and Welbeck.

Jax Teller

Good to see Rafael rested he's played loads in the last 2 weeks . Hope Smalling does well .

Professional Griefer

Yay. Smalling!

Am I the only one happy to see Nani start? and in Portugal, maybe he'll put in a performance tonight!

Your post reminded me of a comment one of the commentators made when we played Braga last that went along the lines of, "He'll want to impress his Portuguese friends tonight." Awful commentary!

MagicMarker

You know what, I can't wait to see Anderson!!!

Mars Bar

United wearing the blue strip?

Looks like I'll never make it as a commentator, I'm sorry..

4-2 United, 2 for Hernandez, 1 for Nani. Realistically though, we might scrape a 2-2 draw.

Crazy looking stadium, built in a quarry

He rarely preforms when we play Portuguese teams. Hope he plays well but i fear him getting hauled off after 60 mins

Im in love with the white strip as well

Does Niall Quinn ever come up for air?

MagicMarker

Smalling hasn't looked right, looks groggy. He also looks nothing like Welbeck.

Jimmy Iovine

****. Please don't be ****ing injured again Chris.

Idiot commentator refers to Smalling as Welbeck twice. :rolleyes:

delad

this match is fcuking tedious, awful atmosphere in the stadium too, don't think I'll be able to watch the full match unless it gets much better quickly

The Association of Black Lawyers will probably issue a statement on the issue.

I think I jinxed him.

delad

why are rooney and giggs playing in really defensive positions, pointless

delad

united aren't trying a leg, they need to go a goal down to wake them up

delad

I can't remember the last time a united thread has been this quiet, there is literally nothing to talk about, its like watching a league of ireland game, I'm giving this 5 more minutes then I'm out, lifes too short for this crap

Pudsy33

I hate setanta, it makes the stadium sound like a funeral

RVD420

This sucks, at least if the camera zoomed out we could admire the stadium built in a quarry, rather than enduring this garbage. :mad:

and we'd all rather be at a funeral than listen to Niall Quinn

Now apparently Welbeck looks like Evra.

Mars Bar

Evra is getting turned inside out here

MagicMarker

Even Hernandez is dropping deep to get the ball.

delad

I don't think i've seen any of the players run in this game yet, its all light jogging and walking

RVD420

Just flicked over to the Celtic-Barca game and saw the scoreline. Think I might go with that one for the second half. I wouldn't mind seeing the highlights (if there are any) of this crap afterwards.

evad_lhorg

What're they singing about City and passports? can't make it out properly.

KombuchaMshroom

What was up with the United fans holding their passports in the air in the crowd?

MagicMarker

A truly horrific half of football..

RVD420

Rubbish.
