It may certainly feel a little, little bit better after the 'mighty' Man United got eliminated too  But my lord, how great would that be to actually make it in Barcelona.

Nzonzi was immense. Shame we did not get him in the last summer.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Hardly a surprise though. Anyone who saw the first game knew that Sevilla has more quality on the ball, better movement and if they only can finish their chances they'll probably win. Bookmakers gave really good odds for the away win so I want to thank them for their generosity.

Not thrilled about tomorrow but remember a lot said we'll be the only English team not to progress because of our draw, so I'm quite happy with happened the past two weeks.

Never cared about English coefficient.

Never seen De Gea flap idiotically about like that before.

Must have taken a massive bung from Liga de Fútbol Profesional

Indeed. Almost every pundit and journalist said every other English team but us got easy R16 opponents.  at how that has turned out.

Maureen is at it again LMAO. He'll be out of the door next season 100% Hard to believe this loon was given a new contract by the daft United board. But I guess its just more compensation money for him and his agent Mendes.

But I read yesterday after they won against pool that Mou has done a fantastic job with this United. 

For me United has been a disappointment. I don't see this united as top 4 team. At bare minimum they have to be contender but city is running away with the league and losing to Seville who is not exactly world beater is not acceptable.

This Sevilla loss was very similar to our loss in the Champions league vs PSG in 2015. Park the bus like crazy in Paris and look clueless with the ball in London.

Mourinho has been irrelevant in Europe for almost a decade now (since 2010 precisely). Have no idea how this guy is still in hot demand and considered "one of the best".

If not for his impressive marketing team and good agent i'm sure as hell he won't.

Mourinho since winning the Champions League in 2010:

2010/11 - SF
2011/12 - SF
2012/13 - SF
2013/14 - SF
2014/15 - R16
2017/18 - R16

He was in the semis 4 times in a row since 2010, how is that being irrelevant for a decade?

I am unable to make myself laugh at that, because we aren't any better. We might be falling apart in front of 100k, hope not.

Sevilla and Barca are completely different

Sad news about Stephen Hawking. What apparently finished him off was he couldn't explain how a team that cost hundreds of millions of pounds could lose to a team that have lost eleven times in La Liga.

did you see the football his teams played in those semifinals or to get there? He literally parked the bus with the most expensively assembled team ever and went out of his way to injure Barcelona players. No one remembers those teams for football reasons other than their thuggish play. And the 2013/14 run he had with us was one of the most uninspiring in Champions league history. The Ancelotti goes there and with more of less the same core wins the Champions league. Then Zidane does the same, both playing much better football. 

He literally fluked a win against PSG with a lucky Ba goal despite creating virtually nothing and parked the bus in the semi's against a Simeone team for 90 minutes

That's what i mean by irrelevant.
