It's about time we beat United and there is no better place to start than in the Champions League.

Based on last nights performance, we're more than able to beat them, it's just a mental thing there now with them, once we beat them once, it should happen more often.

Really dislike that side.

I'd love us to make a cheeky bid for Robben in the summer. I know he's getting on, but he could be perfect behind a big striker with VDV, and Bale.

Hes only 27...so not really

The issue is hes extremely injury prone...not sure we want another player whos injured so much.

He's has the ability to be classed up there with the likes of Messi, unfortunately, he's so injury prone he will never be lauded in that way.

would have really fancied our chancs against Bayern. This draw has too many "I don't want" teams. Assuming Madrid and Chelsea progress the best possible draw for us would be as follows;

Shaktar Donsesk v Tottenham to play winners of Inter Milan v Sahalke04

Man Utd v Real Madrid to play winners of Chelsea v Barcelona

and then to have us drawn out as the home team for the final against Real Madrid!!

That would be absolutely perfect

Not sure about that. The Ukraine is a very difficult place to go and aren't Shakthar unbeaten at home for two years or so. I hope we avoid them, because they are a very dangerous side and I think we would struggle against them.

I must have missed the fans 1 min silence. Was it for Japan? Why would fans of any club ruin that?

Madrid look extremely composed so far. Di Maria and Benzema have looked absolutely quality. Great goal from Marcelo too. Shame we haven't been linked with that young Croatian CB at Lyon, he looks brilliant.

Can't believe Norwegian tv are showing Chelsea-FCK instead of Real-Lyon.

First time I've seen Adebayor play for Madrid. Not sure what to expect...

Inter 2-5 Schalke :eek:mg:

I remember during our game, the ticker kept coming on, and goals kept coming. Incredible result for the Germans.
