Wed 1945 Gottlieb-Daimler. Be there or be uncool. :)

Couldn´t find a worse badge, could you?

That´s neither the current nor the old badge. It´s VfB btw. :)

:lol: @ Jens and the badge
 
I checked google pictures and most of them look pretty much like the one Gazza posted.

Is that better? It doesn't have the '1893'.

Or maybe this one without the 'Stuttgart'?

:angel:
 
The one with 1893 in it is the old and my preferred badge. The one with Stuttgart in it is the official one.

I think the game is on pay-per-view on DirectTV but I could be wrong. I know it's playing at this pub I go to in Chicago.

What beer should we drink for this match?

Depends where you live and what you can get.
 
Jens said:
Dinkel Acker, Schwabenbräu or Stuttgarter Hofbräu.

I'll take note and post my opinions if i can find any of them. My local off-license has over 50 German beers although i've never heard of any of the above.

They´re local Stuttgart breweries and the only ones to have the licence to open a tent at the beer fest here. They´re not very good, I might add. Schwabenbräu´s the best of the lot.
 
Yes this match is live on StarSports :) lucky me..

We will defeat Stuttgart in their land.. :) i reckon 3-0 for United. the goal by RVN 2, Scholes 1 ;)

You are a lucky bastard. Im from Australia and there is no free to air coverage of it. I have to wake up at 4:45 am and listen to it on MU Radio :( But thats what dedicated fans do :devil:
 
It starts at 4.45am Australian time so that sounds about right.
 
I don't know I'm afraid. I haven't got cable back on again yet so I haven't looked.
 
Alright

Team for tonight and predictions

------No question there-----

Gazz----Rio----Mickey-----JOSH

------Keano-----Djemba--------

Ronaldo------Scholes-----Giggs

--------------Ruud------------

Subs:

Forlan for Ronaldo 65'
Butt for Djemba 75'

Looks good?

A hard fought 2-0 over the deutch, with the first goal coming in the 37' from Ruud, and the second one late in the 83 from Forlan.

Bloddy hell, thats a very detailed prediction. Team wise I'd expect the same team except phill for Djemba (a certainty) and Fortune for Mickey (for fitness reasons).

interesting facts...

Head to Head

VfB Stuttgart and Manchester United have never met before in any European competition.
Stuttgart have lost four of their six previous confrontations with English opposition.
Their only win dates back to 1992 when they beat Leeds 3-0 in Champions League qualifying.
United have faced German teams 19 times before, winning eight and drawing seven times.
European history


VfB Stuttgart have never participated in the Champions League before.
In the first season of the Champions League, Stuttgart had to replay their first round match against Leeds United after fielding an ineligible player. They lost in the replay and Leeds were then knocked out by Rangers before the group phase.
Manchester United are taking part in their ninth Champions League season. After failing to go beyond the group stage in 1995, they have reached at least the quarter-finals in their last seven appearances.
United have won their last four opening matches in the Champions league. They have scored five goals in three of those matches.
Manchester United are one win away from 50 Champions League wins.
Manchester United are three goals away from conceding 150 in the Champions Cup/Champions League.
Player and disciplinary info


No players are suspended.
No players are to be suspended if they receive a yellow card.
Phil Neville and Mikaël Silvestre (Manchester United) will play their 50th match in the Champions League. Seven other United players have already played 50 or more matches in the Champions League. Gary Neville shares the record for most appearances in the Champions League with Raúl. Both players have appeared in 79 CL matches.
Other miscellaneous facts


Stuttgart have won their last four European home matches and they are undefeated in their last 9 EC matches at home.
United travel to Germany on the second matchday of the Champions League for the second consecutive year.
Last year they beat Bayer Leverkusen to take command of their group.
United are third in the Premiership. They trail leaders Arsenal by one point.
Stuttgart lead the German Bundesliga after a convincing 3-0 win at 1860 Munich last weekend.
By keeping their eighth consecutive clean sheet, Stuttgart have equalled the Bundesliga record for most consecutive matches without conceding a goal. That record was set by Bayern Munich in 1998/1999.

If you have the same voice in your head as I do in mine, you will understand the reason why I want to liberate them :wenger: :wenger: j/k.
 
I've got a horrible feeling that this interactive stuff isn't going to work with NTL digital, only Sky!!!
 
Anyone know of any webcasts of tonights game anywhere on the net?

I bought a Freeview box ealier in the year, in the hope of watching the CL games on ITV2 but Rupert "the ozzie Bear" Murdoch has nicked it! :mad:
