Manchester United v AC Milan

Who was that fecking twat who said Scholesy should not play?

DA2 was it?

Him, Carrick and Fletcher were fecking brilliant.
 
all you ppl with your doom and glum!

told u to have faith!!!

however it is only half time so only half a job done
 
SAF will be looking for someone to play right back if Gabby has to go to LB for the second leg. I hope he can keep Fletch in midfield.
Good win under the circumstances.
Milan will be just a little worried now.

Need Vidic to magically heal that collarbone.

Or for Rio to be ready for another go.

Otherwise it is Richardson at LB(Heaven forbid!) or Smith in for a less defensive look.
 
I'm in a fecking meeting at work here guys, on my blackberry mobile.
Can someone describe the rooney goal.

Slightly wide of goal, drilled into the near bottom corner on the bounce, Dida didnt get close.

At half time i thought we were as good as out, what a second half display...

Heinze should not be playing CB though, he looks very out of his depth, was very good when covering Evra at LB though.

Carrick put in another quality display, solid, always finding a man in space with his passing, and Rooney + Ronaldo will give Milan alot to think about for the return leg.
 
I nearly cried again when Rooney scored in extra time

Class match, shame about the away goals but we can score in Milan

It's the exact replica of Fat Ronaldo's goal against us. The one which he beat Barthez at the near post.
 
The lads pulled it off! A credit to everybody, we was a little lucky with the first goal, however I believe we deserved to win the game. Was a gd game overall...!!
 
Brilliant match, crucial last minute goal scored by Rooney, avoiding defeat is enough to progress to the finals.
 
I finally got to see the game at my gym soon as i started my bike routine rooney scored his first i settled in and watched us batter them and i frecking screemed out when he scored the winner in stoppage time. I frecking love this team and what they are made of.
 
At 2-1, Tommy SmYth "doesn't look like we will be seeing an all England final"

Take that you twat!
He was just luring a reaction throughout the game. And somewhat surprisingly, Derek Rae got suckered into his stupidity
 
I was just watching the game again and they got their first goal when the referee gave Milan a non-existing foul against Fletcher. fecking ridiculous. Ans we gifted them the second, so basically, the bastards were lucky to leave Old Trafford with 2 goals. I don`t remember VDS having to make one save, except for a Pirlo corner which was going wide.

Talk about bad memory, he had to make a big save on Kaka just after his second goal.
 
Comical defending that has me in tears

:lol:

I thought it was all over at half time but I'm glad our patched up defence performed much better in the second half. It was an amazing result considering the situation we were in and it leaves us in a position whereby if we can somehow avoid defeat in Milan we are going to Athens.

But at least we have a chance.
 
Genius is difficult to define but Rooney's second goal showed all the hallmarks of it.How on earth did he know their keeper was weak to a snap shot at the near post.

He didn't look up or take a touch.He knew the defender and the keeper were waiting for that so he just drove it,first time into the near corner.

Just like the Rooney post Christmas last year.If he is confident and trusts his instincts he is unplayable.

Respect to Kaka who was also at the top of his game but Rooney shone out like a beacon today.Well done lads my soul felt dark at half time but was brimming with light by the final whistle.It ain't over but we brought ourselves back from the brink today.
 
i loved that second half performance...arsenal fans in my pub cheered when rooney got the last goal! fantastic
 
Possible Aggregate scorelines for Leg 2

Milan v Man Utd
1 : 0 (3:3) = lose
2:0 (3:4)= lose
1:1 = win
2:1 (4:4) = lose
2:2 = win
3:2 (5:5) = extra time


We should be able to score. In fact, We'll definitely score. Once we hit 0:1, they must score 2 goals, and once we hit 2 goals, they must score 3.
I think the only scoreline that Milan can probably hope for is either 2:1 or more (i.e. 3:1) or 3:2. There's no way in hell will the score line be 1:0 or 2:0.
They must score, and win, and try to keep a clean sheet = hard. We do what we do best; counter attack.
With their depleted attack force and only Kaka and Seedorf a 'real' threat, we should go through. :devil:

We all need to sit down and pray that none of our team gets an injury during now and the end of the season.

We've seen it happen again today. Milan are weak in the 2nd half, Bayern scored both their goals in the second half and we scored 2 and dominated the half. It's important that we hold firm in the 1st half and contain them and play on the counter. Then in the 2nd half we look to kill off the game by pressing all over the pitch.

The important thing is not to conceed more than 1 goal in the 1st half.
 
This is the biggest ever matchday thread

What an achievement

Certainly will be nailbiting stuff if its 0-0 late on:nervous:
 
A fabulous game !..... Errors cost us the goals, but I d'ont think its fair to blame our defence, as it really was a patched up job, players out of position etc.
Before the game, if I was told Utd would win 3-2, I would honestly be fearful of the 2nd leg. But, given the manner of our performance, I actually feel very confident for the 2nd leg !.... Milan don't seem to have the legs for the last 30mins or so.... this was evedent last night, and also against Munich & Celtic in previous legs. ........ Roll on Weds !
