Penalty for United.

Fernandes puts it away, 3-1.

Too little too late though I think. We've got to score another two goals in 10 minutes plus Injury Time. Can't see it happening though. ☹

[harv]

Oh shit. 3-2 now 😲

Own goal.

[harv]

Squeaky bum time for Leipzig now! 😲

[harv]

Bollocks. Think that's us out now even if PSG lose because of the head to head thing.

We weren't helped by our wing backs, particularly Wan-Bissaka, being poor in the first half.

We played better when we switched to a 4-4-2 diamond but our first half just did us too much damage to us.

Now Ollie is going to have some important decisions to make going forward. If he has brass ones big enough he could field a weekend side every Thursday, particularly if we're in a position to challenge for the Premiership during this month.

Just had a look online and French for black is noir. Regardless, I don't believe the fourth official was being racist going by what we know so far.

Lol... just lol.

Europa league is where united belong... at least you've got a realistic chance of winning a trophy this year now.

Well there's no shame in finishing where we did, we were in a group with last year's Semi Finalist and last year's Finalist. So effectively the 2nd best and 3rd/4th best sides in Europe last year. I'm just hoping that Ollie doesn't treat the competition too seriously, if things go right for us over Christmas and the New Year and we can do a swap deal for Pogba and Ronnie we've got a decent chance of winning the Premiership. The Premiership is wide open this year.

That's how you win a European cup.. 

So glad that bald fraud didn't win it.. tuchel has got peps number

Guess harv was talking shit about buying too many players at once too.. 

[harv]

I did say it takes too long for that many players to gel. That's why you had a disastrous start to the season. As the season went on the players started to gel towards the end, culminating in your Champions League win.

So I've basically been proven quite correct. 😉

Boring final IMO 😴.

I think Pep messed up not picking a recognised striker and putting it on young Fodens head was a mistake. I’ll get over it, shame they both counldn’t lose, but half of the scummy 6 have lost finals in the last month, which has been quiet nice, even if it meant Chel$ea won one in the end. Anytime these clubs lose a final makes me happy...or any game actually 🙂

Disastrous start?  Yes, being top of the table in December was disastrous 

[harv]

December wasn't the start of the season.

[harv]

Shite, lost our first game 2-1 with a goal at the last minute. 🤬😡🤬

Wan-Bissaka got deservedly sent off after 35 minutes with an out of control challenge over the top after Ronnie put us 0-1 up after 13 minutes.

Then came an equaliser in the second half and I thought we'd done enough to earn a point. Right until Lingard made a bizarre pass back meant for De Gea only to give it to a Young Boys player who slotted it home 😭😭😭

Not a complete disaster but it puts a lot more pressure on us for the other matches.

We were defending REALLY well too up until that point as well. 🤬😡🤬

Wish we'd sold Lingard in the bloody Summer lol 😭😂😭

[harv]

A win for United thanks to a goal in Fergie Time by Ronnie.

We ended up going a goal down, Telles equalised with a cracking goal then Ronnie got the winner in the last minute. 😲😎😁😎

[harv]

And our defending has got worse since we got that defensive coach too lol 😲😂😂😂
