Im beyond giving a shit what the lineup is. The players we had on the pitch against Liverpool were the right ones, I thought. So it isnt about selections, its about how unforgivably careless we can be with the ball and our breathtaking lack of ideas going forward.

feck it, I'm going to get up to watch this at 4. Hoping it will be a special atmosphere and performance.
I've just made a thread about that. I wasn't even born, but I'd say that it was a truly electrifying night. Tonight, at least we aren't playing a side anywhere close to that Barca side, so this should be a piece of cake.
Normally I wouldn't be happy with Giggs, Kagawa, and Nani starting after not playing in ages, but what difference will it make?

If we even come remotely close to repeating that night tonight, I will ask for my tagline to be changed to "Mr.Chump"
Either on the pitch or off it... I think there will be drama tonight.
I'm just bracing myself. We'll give them a proper beating!!!!
I'm not taking about tonight. Actually I Just finished watching the Juventus game. I'll now watch Roma 7-1 win
If you mean special as in special needs then Im sure you wont be disappointed.
If I am being honest, I dont think we can do it tonight, not the way we have been playing.
If we go out I want us to go out fighting and showing some passion, I would rather go out winning 3-1 or 4-2 than whimper out 0-0.
We are more than capable of overturning this. If we win this it will be one of those spectacular nights to remember. if we go out doom and gloom will envelope most United fans. This is up to the players, whatever team he puts out, not Moyes.
I'm still excited for this.

So anyone taking bets on when Olympiakos will score then?
I'm going for 28th minute.

This picture breaks my heart into a million little pieces. If I was manager I'd hang this pic in the dressing room. Do it for them boys, do it for us. Make us happy, we know you can.
It's always sad to see a United legend look so despondent. It's also sad to see Giggsy like that.
Is that Danny Alexander in the crowd?
This is exactly what I'm expecting tonight. Or we're 2-0 up and heading for extra time and they score a late one.
You needn't worry about that, Olympiakos will go easy on us and soften the blow by scoring earlier than that.

In programme, Moyes urges #mufc fans to make Old Trafford "intimidating" for Olympiacos & to make any "time-wasting noticeable to officials"
Bonkers.

Bonkers.That's quite ironic considering Moyes is wasting everyone's time by being here.
No idea how to embed a tweet!
I'm trying too hard not to get optimistic because I know its just Moyes in the end but feck it. Fergie has all but made us spoilt. My inner muppet(which always has been wrong) is coming out in full flow and saying that we'll hammer them 5-0. Please be right this time
We need to repeat what we did 30 years ago though. This is the attitude that won us that day.
We'll try to do it. uncheck.
we can do it. uncheck.
We will do it. uncheck.
we are going to do it. Check.

I'm actually excited for this game. It feels strange and inappropriate, but I am !
We need to be intimidating to beat Olympiacos? We should be putting 5 past sides like these at home. We're Manchester United not Fulham.
As much as I don't believe in Moyes, I am actually excited about this game now.
Small time Moyes in every single way.Henry Winter @henrywinter 20m

Remember this?
No.
That was awesome.
Please leave Moyes-bashing out of this thread. The vitriol these last few weeks has been unreadable.
Haven't looked forward to or been excited about a game this much for months!
That's actually a bit depressing to watch now. The speed at which we countered and the ruthlessness in our attack are things we haven't seen in a long while. What a performance that was....
Game at Old Trafford against Milan was great that season too, even if we did get schooled back at the San Siro. 06/07 was generally great.
Is it true that the away goal rule goes away in extra time now?
Rio's been talking again.
Yes.
No.
Glad Jones is getting a run at CB if that's the case.
