Actually, it's a Qualifying game, not Champions League. I just thought i'd point that out to you.
 
2 - 0. Hopefully a clean sheet this time.

Alan Sparky Smith to set a brace.
 
Cristiano to score the first goal and we struggle to score another. They equalise in the 70-80 minutes to ensure a tense ending.

More tabloid frenzy about "End of the Empire" blah blah. :rolleyes:
 
2-1 to us. I just don't think we will keep a clean sheet.
 
Has anyone else heard that apparnatly Dinamo's team were talking of strike action due to some training method disagreement? I haven't heard much other than whispers, could be exagerated tabloid hype.

If it was true then it could be an easier game than we all think. I think it'll be a tricky fixture. If we get an early goal we should relax and hopefully get a few more in a comfortable win. The longer it stays at 0-0 the harder it'll be for us.
 
With Blackburn and Everton around the corner with a space of 2 days apart, I think several players will be rested but it could be a gamble!

If we aren't going to see any of the CL money from the board, it would serve the feckers right if it did go wrong.

Smith will do more damage to Bucharest than Ceausescu ever did.

1,000,000-0 to United. Bellion to score 1 again. He's on fire.

I think you may just be right....:(

Our chance was in Bucharest...We could have caused a huge upset there...
I still think you were lucky to get out of Bucharest with 3 points (given the injuries you had)

At the moment the team in in complete dissaray...Yes they were about to strike for a number of reasons but they decided not to, yesterday they lost the derby against Steaua (which is considered worse than death by Dinamo fans) and their spirit is way down...

I just hope the Red Dogs will not embarrass themselves...I know we have no chance to win but I hope we will get an honourable result and provide a good sparring partner for Man Utd.

Kudos to TheDevil'sOwn for spelling Ceausescu right :D
 
It's true that a mutiny happened in Dinamo club. The players refused to go out for the match preparation training. But not for the method. It's because that the players thought they trained too much and asked for one or two days off.

The leader of the strike action was their captain, Romanian international, Petre. As far as I know, finally the players got fined 3K each.

Great news for United. By the way, Sir Alex will have Kleb, Fletch start the match; as Saha may appear on the bench, depending on his training situation. As Rona7do, he has groin injury complaints, the medical stuff will give a guide to Sir Alex later on, then we'll know whether Ron is fit enough to play.
 
Lets not get complacent for feck sake. They proved in Bucharest that they can play. Some good front players. Concentration is key.

And is it true that Kleberson is avaliable again? Excellent if true, this is a big season for the lad. I hope he gets some minutes under his cradle-snatching belt.
 
Is it 19.45 or 20.10??? I copied the below from the official website!!!!

Thanks for the plaudits, mate. That's what paying attention (somewhat) during my history of Eastern European politics course gets me sometimes. You should see the ass I get when talking to exchange birds about Marshall Tito and non-alignment. :D

I agree with your assessment, Dinamo...and wish your club well on Wednesday and for the rest of your season. Hopefully, you'll stay around and contribute to the Caf...as we need as many differing opinions and supporters as we can get. Even better if they are of your ilk. It's refreshing to have worthy posters, even if they follow other clubs...rather than the legions of "Nu-$KOoL" numptie reds that've been promoted on here recently.

Newly promoted numptie here ;) Reckon 3-1 to United. Our defence has forgotten what a clean sheet is so we'll be winnning 3-0, switch off and concede. No matter though as we'll go through
