THANK YOU! For ages, every time I heard Chris Sutton speak, I couldn't work out who it was his voice reminded me of. It's bloody Zippy!

Not only did the United fans get beat they also missed a terrific game on the other side.
Can't help but wonder if it came as a shock to Juventus to have a team just come at them like that, do't suppose it happens much in Serie A.

And also good that 4th place now definitely qualifies for CL next season.

Cruising your league doesn't do you any favours, just look at PSG. Atletico let Juve off the hook last round by being so defensive.

Yeah 4th place definitely qualifies now, regardless of the likelihood of Arsenal or Chelsea winning the EL.

No, we finish 5th and win CL
Arsenal or Chelsea finish 6th and win Europa.
4th place misses out on CL...

Ah yeah, hadn’t considered that. Probably because if we win the CL I won’t give a shit about the league

That's the one unlikely as it is.
But who cares in that scenario

I think them not scoring at the Lane changes the complexity of the game tomorrow. They have to score twice to go through without the lottery of a shootout, but can't afford to concede.
In a league game they'd just unleash hellfire, but they can't really risk that.
We can just shut up shop, and we have much better defenders than the cannon fodder that usually try that in the Prem.
It's a very interesting position to be in.

Stone me, mush, listen to Darren Fletcher on BBC going on about how (Manchester) United can bridge the gap between them and the elite by buying young players and moulding them 'into the (Manchester) United way' jeeez, the BBC, Sky et al really perpetuate this utter bollocks don't they. They're a shit, shit team it's hilarious how the sporting establishment hate that fact.
The thing is even if we score one - they can still score three at will
I think we will get two tomorrow having said that the first goal is so so crucial
Im getting breathing difficulties just thinking about tomorrow... bring me the brown paper bag need to breathe

Nervous dump time 
actually think we can make final if we get past city. 4 ex Ajax stars in our ranks would just add to a potentially cracking semi final. Might give our lads an extra spring in their step tomorrow night now. COYS
