The inconsistency of this year's Manchester United squad is just plain bizarre. In one week they're flattened by Stevie G. Penalties, the same week they pull their big, fat, overpaid arses out of the fire and smash Olympiakos in the CL to advance to the QF.
That just shows how bad Man Utd must have been in the first leg to lose 2-0 to a team of that 'quality'. Still, it now means they are the weakest team left in the competition

I agree! However, if they had been bounced out of the competition, this thread would have jumped from the depths of this dying board and remained right at the top for days. Guess we'll have to wait until the next fixture for that to happen.
IIRC, Chelsea were a pretty weak team in this competition a couple of years ago and that turned out well, not that I'm predicting a United CL win this time around (Ha!!!).
Not forgetting the Liverpool team in 2005, who certainly weren't the greatest ever..
As for beating OLY, I wouldn't get too carried away by the 'hype'..
...a 3-0 home win over a side that lost to Anderlecht by the same scoreline in the group stages, have won just seven of 50 away games in the Champions League, have lost 12 of 12 games in England and are ranked 26th in Europe by UEFA (just below Rubin Kazan).
They did well to overturn the 2 goals, considering how shit they are these days, but I don't fancy their chances against the teams that are left now. I reckon the other teams will relish drawing Man U in the next round. Aye, they could do a Liverpool '05 and swagger to the final, but I somehow doubt it. We had a decent tactician like Benitez to guide us, they have Davey Moyes
meow saucer of milk table 12!! ha ha. boys, no european squabbling now. what time for united to deliver a better performance - just before the evening biggy at upton park!!
Wow Jim, some real Liverpool baiting there! I guess the Manc in U is really coming through !!!
Not at all! It's just that you boys are so predictable in your United bashing that at least a little balance is needed around here. You'll find no bigger Steven Gerard supporter named "Jim Phelps" on this board.
Besides, I had to cut the "baiting" short; dan the man just posted some more composer birthdays.
really?? does he relentlessly post composer birthdays then?? id not seen any threads like that. sounds sizzlingly interesting, i didnt even know they had birthdays.
we knew all along Dan the mans fkn birthdays would drive you back into our arms, jimbo.
just a matter of time before you were a quivering football- addicted junkie.
you wants it.
Tomkins was pushed. rooney doesnt even look at the ball. he waits till tomkins in air then shoves him.
not that it matters. we are back playing like utter wnkrs and wouldve lost anyway so they need to be staring over their shoulders if cardiff palace and sunderland nick 3 more points each.
Push or no push, your keeper was caught bare-arsed out in the middle of nowhere. It's one thing to lose, it's another for bonehead mistakes. I know how irritating it is. You have my sympathy, Bill.
yep he was in no mans land smoking endless cigarettes in a lumious balaclava.!!
about to el watch el classico - they just played morricones once upon a time in the west jills theme to go with footage for the tribute for adolfo suarez.
