Champions League 2008-09 Thread

[Who]

Man U are the more talented team and should go through -- but I have so much respect for Jose Mourinho that I can't pick United, and instead think Inter will find a way to sneak out the victory.

I'm sadly stuck at work, since a conference call that was scheduled for 3:00 got pushed back to 4:30.  I hoped to be at home by now...

Have go watch this...
TP for being an MUFC fan, Roy 
GO UNITED!

[Roy Hobbs]

Dodged a bullet, sounds like...

As for tonight, I'm really nervous. I think it's going to be a score-draw at Old Trafford which puts us out.

Boo!!!  Down with Maestro!!

2-0, Utd.

Sweet.

Great result for Man United, but a poor performance.

Inter bottled it. They blew their chances.

Roy can you give 6 numbers for the lottery ? 

MU-inter first half was unbelievable. Fast paced game and many chances for both teams. Giggs had a great game. How can anyone not have the greatest respect for this player?


PS MU this summer spent less than any other team in premiership.
It is not fair to compare teams the way you did cordobes. English team get tenths of millions in tv money (and that`s only fraction of their income) of course they have greater badget for transfer than Porto (an most teams) What makes MU better than other euro powerhouses is that they spend on a fraction of what they can.

Real gave 50 mil for Pepe and MU a little less for Rio. Which team overpayed?

Oh yes. Roy, here's your first of 10 TP's. Great game, Giggs was outstanding and Vidic is simply sublime. I was nervous about the game, but the early goal calmed my nerves and the Ronaldo sealed the tie. I'm delighted.

Thanks.  I kept my word, and gave all the Man Utd fans that I was aware of 10 TPs.  That meant you, ederson, ACF, Matt, and a couple of others.  And to think, it's just the quarters.

[ederson]

Although MU deserved to qualify cause they played better in both games Inter had the chances to take a draw or even win it.

The early goal calmed down too but Zlatan missed a couple of greate opportunities to score , Stankovic had an excellent shot just of the post. Till the 70th min i can`t say i was very relaxed.

So I love playing soccer...but what's the best way to watch it?

I mean do I have to buy a tv package or can I watch online?

What about the cheapest way?

Maybe I can advance from being a detached casual observer to more of a true fan.

Go Liverpool!

Thanks Roy, meanwhile I had no idea this was happening and came back to CelticsBlog after being off of it for the day to find up I was up 10 TP's somehow. I'm going to be on here a little less for a while as I got a virus on my computer trying to watch Slumdog Millionaire online. Good thing next week is my spring break and I don't really need my computer for school so I have the opportunity to get it fixed. For now I have to use other computers when I get the chance.
