I love how you only critize Renia for the goal, but fail to mention the 4 or 5 great saves prior, and also the fact that Dempsey was offside.

Truth is he is still one of the top 3 keepers in the world.



Not denying he makes saves, all keeper do. The point was he is making mistakes more often and regardless of Dempsey being on or off the keep spilled a ball he should have caught.

Top three in the world, no chance! He's only about third best in Spain.

Utd simple awful all the way through the CL. Deserve to go out. Said in the summer we needed a couple of midfielders, that was painfully evident last night.

Disappointing to go out but City will probably be better for it in the long run.

At the start of the season I thought our style of play would be well suited to the CL group stage but that we'd struggle against the better teams in the knock out phase. I expected us to grind out enough 1-0's and 0-0's to get through the group. But then we started scoring goals for fun in the league and I think that created indecision as to whether to stick with that style of play in the CL or revert back to last season's approach. We ended up stuck in the middle doing neither and that cost us in the first two games.

I think Bayern could well be worth a flutter, if you're that way inclined, for the CL.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

One of our best ever starts in the league, might be our best actually. Well made up though. 5 points better off than last year at the same stage. Going out the CL is a disaster but we will regroup and have a crack at the league and FA cup.


That's a good positive spin on things......The flip side that somebody might throw at you, is that you are at present playing for second spot in the league - Let's face it, if United were playing like City in the league, and were in the position City presently are, then we would be handing over the title already. Only City's relative inexperience in the title race is giving their rivals any hope.

I'm not saying Fergie should be sacked or should stand down, but itis ironic that Chelsea have been sacking bosses for much less in recent years and their present incumbent is already under pressure from those in the media....Also if Barca or Real (the 2 clubs who are truly United's equal) were ever dumped out of the Champions League at this stage, then I'm 99% sure that their bosses would be gone pretty quickly.

what Chelsea do with Managers is no sort of barometer for judging anything really is it?

Fergie,Arsene,Moysie & Dario Gradi are all unsackable

losing the two Manchester clubs and with Chelski hanging on just shows how poor the general quality of the Premiership has become.
It gets hyped up as the best in the world but it's nowt special...not that the other leagues around europe are much better,it's just over hyped,that's all.
