The defeat we suffered in the Russian outback, against a side that has such an incredible record this year, left me very , very down! I thought we were going to perform in a way that would show , whatever they are doing there, they would have to rise a few notches to get a result against us! AND THEY BLEEDIN WELL DID!!!! That just cannot happen again, and Wednesday in my head will become a very defining evening in our season! I know the Mancs and Arsenal seem to take their upsets in the CL with a brave face, but for me this woul become a tragedy of Shakesperian dimensions! True Blues --I ask you all to join me in praying for the performance of the season on Wednesday!
[-o< I think we'll up it a bit this time round, we weren't really sure last time how good they were. But we certainly do now !!
Thanks BM2, at last an article with no Clatternberg reference. Think we underestimated Shaktar at their place, or we started to believe our own hype. Maybe our heads were spinning because some of the press were actually reporting that we were playing well !!! Whatever, sure we won't take this one lightly, and expect a win.
all comes down to how well shaktar travel, any body have any idea what their away form is like in Europe?

Tough match ahead! They looked *loody useful at their place - very fast paced team and creative with it. I hope that with Terry back and Mata fit???? that we will be up for it and a win will come out way. If Romeu starts I'm not even going to watch! Our DM's are going to have their work cut out and this lad is just not up to it yet imo.
Mata turned out for training yesterday , so there's a strong possibility the "Dynamic Trio" will be back together and with JT there as well we've got a good chance!
sounds like a blinding goal!! shaktar sound like they are really going for it, we are playing on the break at home and will really need another goal
great match. but we need to replace david luiz. i love the guy but he is too irresponsible to be a defender.
You didn't. LUCKY goal from Torres,they hit the post and you score in the 93rd effing minute. Your f*cking luck holds.
No but your luck ran out when you didn't get an offside decision go for you but it was made up for late in the match. Do two,you're a lucky side.
big vic's goal could be crucial as it too Turin next as for Wums saying we were lucky are we forgetting the penalty we should have had when Ramires was brought down ?.
It's why we are in it, it's why we are Champions, it's why it wasn't you out there tonight. That was a top class game of football and a credit to the game. First half theirs, second half ours. Perhaps you could also explain why a 93rd minute goal is luckier than an eg 67th minute goal too. If you can display a good grasp of statistical analysis whilst you do so it would be appreciated. What a sour person you are.
