Manchester United vs Real Madrid

[Shark]

Why aren't Sky showing this? feck sake.

 

[JakeC]

Was that Ando in the background?

 

[Siorac]

Alan green as written us off.

In other news, the sun has set on the western side of the horizon this evening.

 

[JakeC]

Alan green as written us off.

Which basically hands the tie to us.

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

what time is line up out?

 

[100]

Usually an hour before, so in 20 minutes.

 

[Drifter]

Don't get me wrong i love it when he writes us off.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Got a good feeling about tonight, will be a tough game but I think we can do it, feck Ronaldo we have RVP.

 

[Rowem]

Wouldn't fancy picking the team tonight.

Keeper, fullbacks, Ferdinand, Carrick, Rooney and VP are all nailed on but lots of questions elsewere.

Evans or Vidic?
Nani or Valencia?
Welbeck or Kagawa?
Cleverley, Anderson or Giggs?
Do Young or Hernandez get a look in?

Be very interesting decisions.

Evans
Neither
Both
Cleverley
Nope

 

[Hectic]

Too true.

Honestly I'd think we would get more from Rafael in attack than Valencia if he was played as a winger right now. He's not far from Valencia's attacking input of late and that's while playing at RB anyway.

 

[Sixpence]

Poo is coming out.

 

[markorm]

Honestly I'd think we would get more from Rafael in attack than Valencia if he was played as a winger right now. He's not far from Valencia's attacking input of late and that's while playing at RB anyway.

Hear you there!

 

[Art]

Poo is coming out.

Touching cloth is always a good sign.

 

[JohnLocke]

Honestly I'd think we would get more from Rafael in attack than Valencia if he was played as a winger right now. He's not far from Valencia's attacking input of late and that's while playing at RB anyway.

I would actually agree with this. Rafael is having a stormer and Valencia has been poor / average as of late.

I think they will both start though, with Valencia providing a bit of cover down that flank.

 

[francobaresi]

Squeaky bum time

 

[Pexbo]

what time is line up out?

Around an hour pre match usually, with incorrect information about who is starting in defence usually coming around now.

 

[Redfighter]

I'm not sure how to fully express how I'm feeling right now but I wanted to contribute to this thread in some way.

 

[adexkola]

15 minutes to lineups.

 

[vanthaman]

ITV aren't doing an extended pre-game show a la Sky for the first leg?

Pathetic isnt it, they used to do a 30 min pre build up on ITV4 but they aren't even doing that tonight

Sky sports news it is then

 

[Viper KGB]

Alan green as written us off.

Well shit, no point in watching it now

 

[Cevno]

Too long. Urghh..

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

12 mins to lineups

 

[Siorac]

In the interest of keeping the thread calm, I suggest everyone keeps checking uefa.com instead of Twitter. Line-ups are usually up there at 18.45 and they are definite and official.

Man Utd: DeGea Rafael Ferdinand Vidic Evra Carrick Cleverley Nani Welbeck Giggs VPersie

From Tyldesley

 

[nemanja15]

ITV commentator Clive Tyldesley says this is the team:

de Gea

Rafael
Ferdinand
Vidic
Evra

Carrick
Cleverley

Nani
Welbeck
Giggs

van Persie

 

[Bref]

Rooney left out according to Tyldesley

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Breaking team lineup news. Less than 10 mins left.

 

[ha_rooney]

I love Giggs but I hope he doesn't start. Would make a better impact off the bench and the crowd should erupt when he comes on to give him the ovation he deserves.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Rooney out would be a big shock

 

[Hellboy]

Wtf ?

 

[Sixpence]

Tell me this is some sort of sick joke?

 

[bergen]

Wat

 

[Ash_G]

Be shocked if no Rooney unless injured, don't see what a carrick, clev, giggs combo gives you that Rooney in for clev/giggs wouldn't but be stronger.

 

[Gambit]

All the Officials are Turkish tonight. Is that normal?

 

[adexkola]

Why the feck would Rooney be left out?

 

[ha_rooney]

No Rooney would be ridiculous. I hope Clive is wrong.

 

[Maajid]

Pathetic isnt it, they used to do a 30 min pre build up on ITV4 but they aren't even doing that tonight

Sky sports news it is then

Do they get these big games through some equitable distribution clause? If they're outbidding Sky then they at least have to match their standard of coverage?

Anyhow, I'm watching the build up on MUTV on the internet. Links in usual places.

 

[Redlambs]

Unless Rooney has a knock, I can't seriously believe he won't start! Then again, this is SAF we are talking about.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Leaving Rooney out would be like leaving Beckham out in 03.

So he's gonna come on and score 2.

 

[Red-Indian]

Rooney's left out? Has to be an injury I guess.
