the massive danger is

they are now in same position as spuds

if either wins the CL, arse wins the EL

we finish fourth

with Arse in 5th or 6th

and the CL winner in 5th or 6th

we dont get CL

I don't think we will anyway. Or if we do unless we are able to make signings in summer or actually play decent in the group we'll be back in Europa. 

Imagine us 2-0 down these days. We struggle at 1-0 down.

Over the past few years, we've produced many more than man u though...yes, none have quite broken through like rashford, but who else has man u produced? Lingaard is not top quality.

We've had Christensen, ake, RLC, CHO.

Man u's youth production is so overrated. Ever since the class of 92 or whatever.

Taking nothing away from rashford. The kid is brilliant. Love his play

Ajax academy is best to best in the world atm

insane players moving on a conveyor belt

[Vesper 30,175]

a HORRID VAR call

pen

the ball was WELL past the player

ZERO chance he would have gotten to it, none

[Vesper 30,175]

Alex Telles won the tie (probably)

[Vesper 30,175]

all Roma needs to win though is a goal (they go through on away goals)

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Oh dear VAR has changed the game drastically, not sure if to the better. Makes ot less predictable for sure

This had nothing to do with a good manager. It was simply two terrible mistakes by psg players and a clear mistake by the ref...then poor finishing and execution on psg's part. They should have been up 3-0 in the first half.

In fact, did you see how absolutely lost bailly and young looked on that right hand side in the first half? I'd consider that very poor coaching because he's the one that set that up.

It's unbelievable how much has gone man u's way since ole took over. They've win multiple games they didn't deserve to. And there a few others they started poorly and the other teams missed absolute sitters, then they went on to win. Yes there has been good coaching and freeing if the players, but their run reminds me Leicester's when they won the league. They'll come back down to earth.

I really hope Ole stays because I don't think it's gonna work long term and they will be crying for a new manager halfway through next season.

This. If you watch some united games you will be shocked how poor united is. Conceding chances left and right and the other team didn't score. They then scored some difficult chances. It happen again and again. 

Btw stop watching VAR is slow motion. That is just a dumb way to use VAR. It will ruin the game.

we have to win EL anyway. Idont think Tottenham or Utd will win the CL. It will be Barca, atletico or City for sure. 

but just out of interest, what happens if Spurs/utd finish 5th and win CL, we finish fourth and neither us nor Arsenal win EL. Will it be 5 English teams in Cl then again?

I think maximum team from the same country is 5 in UCL so yes.

5 is the max, thus if table was this

1 Shitty

2 Victims

3 Manure (or Spuds is 3rd, and Manure finishes 5th or 6th and Manure wins CL)

4 Chels

Spuds (5th or 6th, same thing) wins CL (or flip Spuds with Manure)

Arse   (5th or 6th, same thing) wins EL

 

we lose out even though 4th, as 5 is the limit and the 2 auto-qualifications due to cup wins means only top 3 EPL teams go

 

If Arseanl lose an EL tie

the whole thing crashes and we go through in 4th (or even better we win the EL)

If Arse wins EL then both spuds and manure have to crash out and not win

of course, we may finish 3rd (so zero worries) OR  on a bad note, finish 5th or 6th an not win the EL

Psg are massive massive chokers.

First barca two years ago and now this. United was shite in offense, yet they managed 3 away in paris. Psg played half arsed entire game and despite how shit United was, they managed to put in even worse shift, mentality wise. 

Im glad we are not the only laughing stock of europe. 

Psg and Real Madrid are converting attention from Chelsea to them realy nicely.

It's really baffling how PSG, aiming to be the best in Europe, have a 41-year-old keeper in goal. Buffon is no longer the force he once was.

Buffon even with that mistake...thats the last excuse they can make.

They lost at home with 2:0 advantage, playing against b team United. Against McTominay and Fred  And they still lost. 

Thiago Silva, Di Maria, Verratti are some of biggest bottlers you can find in top football. They can be good, but they get so cocky and think they won before they actualy win anything. 

United played completely shite for most of the game, and I dont like United, but hell they deserved it more than PSG who played whole game in second gear. They could have gone for the kill any time, but they thought this United will be another Etienne, Nantes, Nice for them. 

I have never seen such dominant team behave so unprofessional, playing it easy while being just one goal away from elimination. The nerve these guys have is quite shocking. 

Its funny tho. McTominay and Fred, then there was Pereira, Dalot, Young, Bailley, bunch of shite and french superstars still couldnt score 2 at home  

[Johnnyeye 7,509]

seriously now wtf is happening in Champions League this season? bottling jobs galore so far, Madrid, PSG (massive chokers ), Roma. Unfuckinbelievable

Spurs, United, most likely City and maybe scousers in quarter finals, let that sink in. For the love of God pls let Bayern, Atletico/Juve or Barca win this thing. It makes our season look even worse than it is how english teams keep going far.

everything going United's way atm, unfuckingbelievable.

Us finishing in 4th and winning the EL would be something. [emoji1]

Good for Chelsea. Spurs, United still in the CL

We can rotate for Thursday night games. 

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Did MU win the CL already? its all over the place ffs. Worse than doomsday. They won't survive even Porto or Ajax.

the ammount of calls and fortune going their way makes me wanna puke, i want them to get exposed so bad and beaten by a top team. United fanbase deluded as usual, now a lot of them are talking about winning the treble or even Champions League and FA Cup double.

Lets hope not.. Saying that so far. They weren't meant to have a chance at 4th. Now they do. No hope in getting past PGG.. And they have. Unfortunately. 

Good for them having extra games but having little effect. Especially as we're good at dropping random points
