HOWEVER

"work in progress" cannot be repeated enough

Had a brilliant second half tonight and him and Rooney actually look like they could get a decent partnership going (as they did against Norwich last season)

time to drop RVP?

"He hadn't really found his feet yet but I saw something from Shinji tonight which I hadn't seen in other games, so I was really pleased."

"His effort when we didn't have the ball was fantastic. With Shinji, everybody tells me about his ability and what he has got, but tonight is the first time I’ve really seen Shinji.

"I thought when we put him into the no.10 role, and even after it, he was good with Wayne. His attitude and energy were excellent and I was pleased for him.

A+ Moyes trolling

i've seen something from david seaman that i hadnt seen before tonight, wenger said, his close control, his running and his final ball were all excellent, which is something that i hadn't seen before.

juve madrid is shit

Wonderfully taken penalty.

varane gives away stupid penalty that vidal converts

probably a good thing, madrid might bring on isco and try to play
a bit

utd sociedad game is boring too. chicarito missing an open goal has been the highlight so far.

even by Utd away in Europe standards it's been remarkably tedious

Fergie often had Utd play with an intensity, desire and speed that could mask all manner of mediocrity. Moyes seems content to let them slow it down and show their true class.

to make matters worse sociedad dont seem the least bit bothered in playing either

this has suddenly got very interesting, bale with a powerful nearpost finish 1-2

Positive subs from Moyes. Kagawa central now

bale and ronaldo on the break just look so lethal

even that time when ronaldo refused to pass and ended up shooting from a stupid angle

Good run from Kagawa results in RVP hitting the post, best football they've played so far.

Fellaini bringing his own brand of desire and intensity to the game by elbowing and kicking everyone.

llorente 2-2

hes like the best champo forward in the world

turn on, real falange concede. excellent

lol turned on radio penalty Utd

ILF trolls of the future

xpost ashley young dives badly wins peno and then rvp hits it straight at the keeper hahahaha

which Utd politely miss

Young at it again.

Penalty saved.

how's this for some progressive banter: juve aren't much better

ashley young, honestly what is he like

foreign players ruining the blitw with their cheating ways

Robin van Persie steps up and sums up Manchester United's day by wrapping his penalty against the far post. All power, no finesse.

How is there a far post with a penalty?

he ran in parallel to the goal line

Ah. I never knew it worked like that. I thought it was about the position of the ball compared to the posts. Which, for both posts, is the same with a penalty.

This world never ceases to amaze me.

Wait, you're pulling my leg right?

Been a long day...

lol sorry dude

<3

buffon 70-yard ball out of hand onto toe of running marcelo w/o breaking stride

that's the shit that gets me going

wait is there a marcelo on both sides

fellaini sent off

proving he's capable of doing it on the big stage

deserved tbh

yup

Special police brigades are breaking up fights between Celtic and Ajax fans in Amsterdam. The city's on emergency alert not just because of that, but also because fans of Anderlecht, Zagreb (playing PSV tomorrow) and St. Pauli (wtf) are on their way for a good old hooligan tiff... Smdh

hooliganism still a big thing in holland?

Not that I know, oddly enough! Can't remember the last time something like this even happened. I know the Zagreb fans are feared, but I've no clue why clubs from Germany and Belgium who aren't even playing are suddenly joining in.

Didn't you report on Anderlecht hooligans stirring up trouble in Holland a year or two ago. Celtic do claim an affinity with St Pauli, but I doubt it's related to fighting.

Jeff Stelling just now (over a shot of the Dortmund fans singing You'll Never Walk Alone)

"They're playing our style of football...and now they're singing our songs as well!"

Xp Can't remember if I did report on that or not.. :-/
