Match Day Thread 2015/16 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

i had noticed, but cheers any way.

any reason for this 6 o clock crap, or is it the obvious and tv deals and money etc?

 

I presume its as you say, TV and money

Pellegrini says his decsion to disrespect the FA cup and humiliate his club is vindicated by the fact they managed to narrowly beat a group of war refugees who hadn't played for 3 months

#posthocergopropterhoc

 

The way they played sort of did but he should be bollocking his players for letting Kiev get back into it.

Basically though now though, Kiev need to score three in the return leg.

 

Yeah they're through this round, but out the next since Pellegrini has admitted he can't make the most expensive squad in history play more than 1 game in 10 days

Man City have played 5 games in February and only beaten Sunderland and Kiev, losing all the others

 

Sunderland are a top side though tbf, ask Man Utd

 

Not really. Of our 3 only City look like progressing. They have 2 (Roma are the other team) but it will probably be 1 English and 0 Italian teams in the last 8.
Last season Juve made the final and not a single English team made the last 8!
Also, the ranking is affected by the Europa league and we have been ****e in that lately.

Having said all that we are currently keeping italy at bay this season:

You know there is another competition called the Europa League right?

Maybe you should enlighten yourself as to how the UEFA Coefficient points system works

 

What to watch...

Spurs v Fiorentina

Man Utd v Mjijijhkhkko

???


Gone with the Spurs game for now. Probably a more competitive game

 

If Midjtylland get a goal the atmosphere will be amazing

Half the Man Utd fans are already ready to lynch Van Gaal for "making Martial warm up too hard", and Martial is crap anyway

 

The half that's there or not ???

 

Yeah the half that turned up tonight

 

Still early but Man Utd getting dominated so far

 

Spuds one up

 

Man Utd's build up play is appalling

They only ever get into the final 3rd by giving the ball away and being lucky to win it back quickly, otherwise it's all out to the wing, isolated player, go back to defence, out to the other wing, isolated player...

 

"Marcus Rashford is the central figure in the first few pages of this story. The United debutant darts into space inside the away penalty area, but can't bring down Guillermo Varela's lofted pass."

Very poetic by bbc salford for "he missed a scoring chance"

 

Just Man Utd ruining the coefficient now

 

Utd 1-0 down

 

And there's the goal that's been coming

 

Bit lucky in the build up but nice (and slightly predictable) finish from Mason. Fiorentina keeper basically stood on his near post
