Surely he hast to be fit!
United wouldn't take a chance!
United's Line Up
Starting XI: Van der Sar, Evra, Ferdinand, Rooney, Vidic, Carrick, Nani, Rafael, Fletcher, Valencia, Gibson.
Robben in the Bayern line up too
Surprised that Gibson is in the line up
Does anyone know that I am NERVOUS!!
I hope it is the same as the last time I was nervous at this stage
Manchester United 7 Roma 1
The United match is on FSC
Bayern have scored 10 goals in their away CL matches
Afternoon, Dave!
So who exactly was the genius who decided that Bordeaux v. Lyon was the "big match" that they should show live. Even cheery chappy Warren Barton looks less than enthusiastic about it all. I suspect that he and Bobby will be sneaking a peek at JustinTV during the match.
I cannot believe that Fergie is running out Roon today. He'll have to be shot up with painkillers according to the sources I've been reading. I'm telling you that if Roon crocks himself today and doesn't make the WC, I'm going to poison Fergie's dog. I am pissed!
Hey BOb
My cable shows that it is the United game of FSC
As for Rooney, he must be fit!!!
Bayern's line-up tonight:
Butt, Lahm, Van Buyten, Demichelis, Badstuber, Schweinsteiger, Van Bommel, Ribery, Robben, Olic, Muller. Subs: Rensing, Hamit Altintop, Klose, Pranjic, Contento, Gomez, Tymoshchuk.
Here are both full line ups
Man Utd: Van der Sar, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Gibson, Valencia, Rooney, Nani. Subs: Kuszczak, Berbatov, Giggs, Scholes, O'Shea, Jonathan Evans, Macheda.
Bayern Munich: Butt, Lahm, Van Buyten, Demichelis, Badstuber, Robben, Van Bommel, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Olic, Muller. Subs: Rensing, Altintop, Klose, Pranjic, Contento, Gomez, Tymoschuk
Well, they're certainly profiling the all-French affair. I hope that you're right. I'm building up a head of steam here where I'm likely to fire off some angry missives to both the FSC suits and Fergie. I cannot believe that he's starting Roon today. You don't need him!
Roon and Vidic have yellow cards on them
I hope that you're right!
At least Fergie has figured out that the Neviller doesn't have the pace to deal with Ribery. Rafael in his place tonight.
Five Live talking about Gerd Muller
"looks like a physics teacher, short, beard, glasses. Doesn't look like one of the best goalscorers of all time"
All you need is one goal at home. You don't need Rooney tonight!
Muller was always stocky and low to the ground. You can imagine him going a bit tubby after his career, especially with all the good beer and meat on offer in Munchen.
Both of these teams played top of the table clashes during the weekend. They did the exact opposite
Hope that doesn't spill into to tonight
Eric Wynalda came mighty close to hoping out loud that Roon would pick up a fatal injury tonight and miss the June 12th clash with the USA on Monday night's FFF.
1937: Manchester United have only once come back from a defeat in the first leg to win a Champions League tie (although that was a 7-1 demolition of Roma, to be fair). Bayern Munich haven't lost at Old Trafford in three visits. Just saying, like.
Teams coming out at Old Trafford.
The same time as Five Live
Rooney isn't limpiing
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Sir Alex Ferguson on the inclusion of Wayne Rooney: "It wasn't a serious injury and obviously he wasn't fit for Saturday but the progress in the last two days has been incredible. Yesterday afternoon, he did some real good training. I made my mind up after I saw him yesterday. He's not done a lot of training but we hope the work he's done in the gymnasium compensates. There's no risk as it was a soft tissue injury, not ligament damage. He can play without worry of a recurrence."
Course he's not limping. You wouldn't be either if you'd been shot up with a million cc's of horse painkillers. It's a disgraceful decision to play him tonight, admit it.
If it wasn't a serious injury, why did the doc originally say that he'd have to be out four weeks?
I don't know... is he fit????
We don't know!
I really don't think Fergie would take the chance. He wants to win the league ahead of the CL. He wants to go ahead of Costa's 18!
Kick-off time - come on you Red Devils!
Martin Tyler and GARRY BIRTLES at the mic. Andy couldn't have come back from Spain in 24 hours!
You don't think he gave up on the league after Saturday? I think he might have done and decided to concentrate on the CL.
I think this is an ITV game so Sky aren't commentating on it. I guess he free lancing!
We're off
Fletch undergoes a hefty challenge within seconds. They'd better not do that to Roon. I'm warning them!
I plan on a lot of running outside in the Sun celebrating a United goal!
I think Roon is running a bit gingerly on the ankle. You?
Have you got sunshine today? It's raining here.
Don't know yet
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GIBSON
OUT TO RUN IN THE SUN!
GOAL! United have the early lead again! 1-0! Gibson!
GET ROONEY OFF NOW!
Nice touch from Roon there. But the keeper was like a bloody statue, you have to admit. What was he playing at?
He sure looked good with that touch
Is it Roma all over again
GET ROONEY OFF!
A couple more goals and take him off
Phantom of the Opera with a good tackle there.
Roon didn't attack the cross there. He's not right. GET HIM OFF!
Roon flatfooted for that Nani cross
YES!!!!!!!!!!
NANI!!!!!!!
MADE BY VALENCIA!!!!
GOAL! My boy Nani with a gorgeous touch. Go on, admit it Dave. You luv him, don't you?
2-0 United! GET ROONEY OFF!
Rooney looked good with that pass!!
Great flick by Nani!
Keep it tight please
Great ball in from Valencia there. I thought he might dink it back to Rafael but he made the space himself and delivered it into the danger zone. Great start! Bayern really rocking here.
At least three before he is off
Look how Roon is walking back. He's not right - admit it!
Evra should have gone in the book for that
Still too early here. One goal and it is all tied up
The Norwich City fans in the crowd luv it! Nani - what a player!
You're a bloody nervous nelly, you are. This match is over.
GET ROONEY OFF!
Evra got the ball there. No foul.
Hey, I damaged my ankle playing indoor on a Monday and I scored two on the Sunday
If I can do it, so can Wayne
Carrick almost with an empty netter
You didn't damage it like Roon did, did you? There's a difference between just rolling it the way that footballers do all the time and truly spraining it as he did. He shouldn't be on the pitch.
Robben and Ribery haven't had a sniff yet. Nothing going for Bayern up front yet.
I bloody well did. I did the exact same thing has him.
I couldn't walk for a couple of days
Why are OT faithful booing the negative play of Bayern. Do they want them to attack?
Roon sure looked okay there!
Well, then you shouldn't have played at the weekend, then, should you?
You're incorrigible, you are. You and Fergie won't be happy until Roon limps off and then has to convalesce for four months. Fergie doesn't give a fig about England's hopes this summer, you know that, right?
Two goals.. we won the league with 7 wins 0 losses
nuff said
Of course Gary Birtles doesn't understand the adage of "scoring too soon." He never bloody scored at all did he?
oooh, over the top from Rooney
Must have been his ankle
Roon with a diving header well over the top.
This is NOT over
Bayern need one goal and it would be advantage them.
They would be the ones that would be favorites
Rafael picks up a yellow for a silly foul.
Raf in the book... not smart!!
It's over.
I hope you're right but you're not
Roon is limping now
Rooney goes down and now he is limping. The crowd is gasping. Happy now?
He rolled on it again.
GET. HIM. OFF!
Fergie is a disgrace.
Nani with a blast well over the top. Why is Roon still on?
He is limping and I think he should go off but I don't think there has been more damage done
Dracula finally starting to warm up.
I hope this doesn't give Bayern a push
So, you're a doctor now, are you?
I would sit Roon on the bench for Blackburn on Sunday and then he will be totally ok for Citeh
Hey, you are.. so am I
Both the crowd and United have been affected by the Roon injury. All the fizz has gone out.
He's running okay
Not that kind of doc. You wouldn't want me operating on you.
You and Ferg deserve each other. You'd have him playing if he'd had his leg chopped off, Black Knight style. "It's only a flesh wound!"
Van Bommel in the book
Get it over Valencia!
Good tackle, Phantom of the Opera.
Well, there was no one in the box
Listen. they're not idiots
Fergie would not throw away the league!
Clash of heads with Carrick brings the game to a halt. I'm off to work while this stoppage is going on. I'll catch you on the other side, mate.
Still just half an hour gone
A LONG way to go
Get another before half and bring him off
Take care
Gibson has another pop
That was closer than I first thought
United have been solid at the back so far
Long may it continue
Great play by Raf to take the ball away from Rib
He breaks and he hits one wide. Roon SPRINTED for support. He should have given it to him
FSC lost their feed... it is back for a Van Bommel foul.
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Struth!!!
Bayern break and Olic gets the ball in the box but VDS saves bravely at his feet
No one is saying it but the rebound came off Nani's hand
Come on United... we need another one
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There it is!!!
NANI!!!!!!!!
Great finish into the top of the net. Made by Valencia
COME ON NANI... MATCH MESSI'S FOUR!
It all started with a throw- in given away. Quickly take
BUGGER... Olic has scored for Bayern!!!
Now they need a goal and they are through!!
BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER!!
Now we need another!
That goal came from nothing.
Plenty of defenders, two strikers and he gets it in
Come on UNITED!!!
Into added time
Robben has a great shot saved by VDS
Full stretch save low by VDS
Bayern's best spell of the match
IT IS NOT OVER!!!
Bloody hell - I'm over at work now and I've missed two goals in fifteen minutes. 4-3 on aggregate now and the away goal advantage is gone.
That goal has changed everything!!
Bordeaux has scored in France. 2-3 on agg.
ooh, good run by Raf
Half time
3-1... shame about that goal!
half way there but still all up in the air
I cannot believe that Rooney is still on the pitch and now gingerly trooping off. If he comes on for the second half, I'm going to spit up my tea. He's not even doing anything now.
Teams are out and Bayern get us underway
NO changes
Of course, 7-1 is still a possibility
Fergie says, "we're going to have a go at it" in regard to Rooney. He's still on. Not happy. I fart in his general direction.
Bayern have started better than they played during the whole first half
NOT GOOD
Well, I blow my nose at you
United starting to give the ball away like Saturday and the first leg
COME ON MAN U
Bayern talked the ref into a second yellow
STUPID BY RAFAEL
Uh oh - now it looks as if Rafael is off! Yes, second yellow. Down to ten men. That silly foul in the first half now looks really silly.
It is all going wrong
You said it was over at 1-0!!!!
Fletcher will go back to full back
40 minutes with a man down
Rafael looks totally despondent walking off. He knows he's going to get a bollocking from Fergie later on.
Fletch has gone to right back now.
GET ROONEY OFF!
United sitting back too far
The Pigsticker goes over looking for a penalty. Referee not impressed.
Rio with a tackle and Bayern want a pen.
The ref waves play on
Card Shwine for diving then!
Take Roon off
Valencia gets fouled and rolls around to take a peek if the ref is watching
Fluffed by the keeper and Nani shoots and tipped over
O'Shea coming on for Rooney
Why O'Shea? He hasn't played forever
Bayern have lost their zip since the sending off!
O"Shea at right back now
Is Nani on the top?
Ribery with a fantastic volley
Great save by VDS
Almost an hour gone now. I reckon that this still looks pretty good for you lot.
Bayern starting to turn the screw
IT WAS THREE NIL AND WE WERE COASTING
I don't know where you are see that Dahlgren
I feel TERRIBLE!!
As you were saying, Bayern were looking more dangerous BEFORE the sending off. United have dropped back and are defending well.
Nani breaks and saved at the near post
Fletcher on the volley - wide but picks up a corner.
Carrick hits one over!
Come on UNITED!!
Oh - Carrick should've hit the target.
25 minutes to go
SQUEAKY BUM TIME INDEED!
OT is full voice now. Great sound.
Your bum is always squeaky, mate.
Well I have you plonkers telling me it is over at one nil!
Struth... just over by Gomez
I believe I said that when it was 2-0. I said that they should get Roon off at 1-0. Tell me what he did beyond 1-0, apart from strain his ankle more than it already was.
VDS was beaten there
Down to twenty minutes and change now. Hang in there, United!
Bit of a nudge on SuperMario there from Vidic.
I'm off to set up my classroom. Back in a tick.
This reminds me of the ties against Porto with the Special One and the Barca semi a couple of years ago
Winning but one goal would change it.
We gave away that goal to Porto when Timmy Howard parried a shot. We held on with Barca
Which way will this go?
Gibson with a chance straight at the keeper
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Carrick gives the ball away and Robben almost in
Corner to Bayern
Short one taken and now a second one... GOAL
Robben with a brilliant Volley
BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER!!!!
WE WERE THREE ONE NIL UP!!!
We're going out!
15 minutes to go
Robben coming off for Altintop
United have done nothing since the goal
They NEED a GOAL!
The last goal in Munich was the killer
COME ON UNITED!!!!!!
ONE GOAL
JUST ONE GOAL!
Berbatov about to come on
Here he comes for Carrick
Just over ten plus stoppages for him to make a difference
United's last move is to bring on Giggsy for Gibson
Nani trying to take on too many people
Bugger - sorry, mate.
Nani tries to take on the entire team again
United are not creating much
Five to go
Thanks
Let's hope Bayern continue to lay back
Still five minutes to play and United attacking the Stretford End - come on United!
3 plus added time
nani hits one wide.. should have done better
Nani! Oh - just wide. I'd luv to see the kid get a hat-trick here. You'd never say another bad word about him, would you?
If you say that Nani is as good as Ronny, he'll score in the next few minutes. It's up to you.
Wonder how many minutes to be added
Plenty of substitutions and a red card
Should be five at least.
NANI IS BRILLIANT!
only THREE added minutes
They need to get the ball back!
As good as Ronny?
That is it
WHAT A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE WEEK!
We had this tie wrapped up many times
One nil up in the first leg and coasting.
Stupid free kick by Neville... deflected into the goal
Last shot of the game goal
Tonight THREE nil up and get kicked out!!
UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Lyon are through to meet Bayern
NO ENGLISH TEAMS IN THE SEMIS!!
France vs Germany
Italy vs Spain
Take care everyone
UWS
Sorry, mate. I really thought you lot had it. Bugger!
