Match Day Thread Partisan Belgrade v Manchester United

Sixty-one years ago, returning from this very fixture we lost the Busby babes in the Munich air disaster. Earlier on today a wreath was laid in the stadium to commemorate the tragic events.

 

Tonight's match will be played against that backdrop and kicks off at 5.55pm.

 

Without being pedantic, we'd been playing Red Star, not Partizan, but still worthy of a mention as it's same stadium the match was played in.

Had completely forgotten the early kick off. Hopefully be home from work in time for kick off!

Any team news?

 

Not until an hour before kick off.

 

Team news -

 

Another dog's dinner, scrappy and underwhelming, but at least its an away win and we're through to the knock-out rounds - that's about all you can say other than Jones is still ****e.
