fecking hell. should have won this. Never good to finish 2nd in the group, Madrid?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
At least we got a glimpse at what Mancini would look like, at age 400.
That's just silly talk.
City lost, which is a plus. If Napoli beat Villareal City are out.
Not good. We've got to be winning games like that.
I just don't understand what's happened to us since the start of the season. This average spell has extended for a while now, I know Cleverley's injured, but it is also speculative of us to assume that things will be righted upon his return.
Annoyed about that result. I hope we smash Basel, we won't top the group though as Benfica will beat Galati.

Isn't Cleverley fit in time for it?
We just need a point so we should qualify but our performances have been a disgrace.
There's been disappointed, and there's being a prick.
Anything to help your Sneijder argument.
Oh, I've got no hope of topping the group.
Person is not allowed to smile? Apart from the goal, I thought Fletcher always looked below par today. Carrick did double the work and looked immense.
Another shit performance, becoming far to sloppy in the Group stages
At this rate we will be lucky to get into the last 16.

Shit result but we did play well second half on a positive note. That said we should have sailed through this group.
we didn't do it the hard way last 5 times.
At least shitty lost
We have players with no shape.. How can you give guys like Carrick, Fletcher, Fabio 90min when Park etc. are sitting on the bench... You know we are going to have to run with the ball when chasing a goal so why the feck do you don't make ANY subs??
So, draw to go through.
Am I right in saying winning doesn't' even matter if Benfica beat Gelati (which they will)?

is there a bluemoon meltdown thread to laugh at?What if we beat Basel 5 - 0 and Benfica gets a one-nil victory or something less than 5?
Sneijder wouldn't have helped us today. It's worrying how fragile we look without Vidic at the back.
Anyway I'm done venting now but it's been so frustrating.
so basically we need a point at Basle to qualify...which sets us up against the possibility of facing barca...
I absolutely loved the match today. kept me on the edge. as well, er of my chair.
Carrick was absolutely magnificent. We really should have won this. were comfortably the better team.
Carrick was very good.
We don't deserve to qualify, to be fair.
They're a goal behind us and I don't see Galati rolling over for them. We can still finish first yet.
I thought Berbatov was fecking brilliant. Great game for Berbaboobslove.
There's a lot of positives to take from tonights game. Their 2 goals were a blip and after we got our first, we were playing well. Stop talking tripe.
Doesn't mean anything now, we can't top them if they win their last game.
Judging from tonight Benfica will murder Galuti.
We are going to have to do it the hard way this year in the CL.
Stiil, you have to meet the big teams at some point so may as well be 2nd round.
I'm not counting us as very serious contenders this years in CL any way given this is a new side,so wont be a huge tragedy for me if we are knocked out early ..... City cannot be allowed to win the PL. Simple as that.
Benfica are above us on head to head and that takes preference over GD so the only we top this group is if Galati take points off Benfica and that's pretty unlikely. We can just pray we don't get Barca or Madrid now.
Don't forget your first goal was offside though.
were top of the group.
Don't think he was very good, was good but to many sloppy stuff in the final 3rd giving it straight to Benfica. At least he worked hard to get it back though.
Pretty spot on.
So the best we can do is come second. Wow, we've really put ourselves in a poor position for the knockout stages (should we get there).
I think we should top ourselves.
