The Whole World is Watching!
Some of the people are commenting don't seem to agree with Jose
Andrew Webb: "I won't be watching the United v Real match, i be at another big game tonight - Leicester v Leeds."
Mike Evans: "Why would I be watching Man Utd against Real Madrid? Forest are at home to Ipswich tonight."
I think Our Bob will have an eye on the match at the Walkers!
I am supposed to have a faculty meeting today but I am hoping to get out of it.... fingers crossed
COME ON MAN U

Can't wait! I'm off to teach my morning class and I'll be back in plenty of time to settle in for the match.
Don't know why it turns white again. I did copy and paste the comments and then after that it turned white!
NEVER DID THAT BEFORE
Talk to you later
This picture is of tonight's program which was designed with the 68 semi-final in mind
Big News... Wayne Rooney not starting... I AM OKAY WITH IT!
LINE-UPS- Manchester United v Real Madrid (1945 GMT)
Man Utd: De Gea, Da Silva, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Cleverley, Nani, Welbeck, Giggs, van Persie. Subs: Lindegaard, Evans, Valencia, Rooney, Hernandez, Young, Kagawa.

Referee: Cuneyt Cakir (Turkey)
I'm back in Blue Devil HQ and excited for the start of the big one. While there's no surprise that United v. Real overshadows everything else going on today, spare a thought for my Mighty Whites as they go up against Leicester. Three points, please, boys!
I'm assuming, UWS, that the white box is an homage to LUFC - MOT!
You are correct sir
Just about to leave school... I'll be home around 3
Hurry home, mate. Real get us underway. Come on, you Red Devils!
Very warm welcome and ovation for the return of Cristiano Ronaldo before the match. Now Ryan Giggs will try to stay inside his shirt.
Nani will score! Mark my words - Nostrabobus has spoken.
First chance for Skippy to swing a free kick into the area. Blasts it into the small wall for some reason. I can't quite believe that he had a go at goal from that distance and angle. What an ego!
Real look a touch nervous in these early stages. Remember that a 0-0 draw would be enough to see United through. Not that Fergie will try to park the bus, though.
United are giving lots of possession to Real, trying instead to hit them on the break.
Cleverly got knobbled by Skippy there. It looks like he's struggling - may have to come off.
Cleverly is temporarily off the pitch getting some treatment. Looks like he may be able to continue.
Higuain works his way into the area but leans back into the shot - well wide and high of the mark.
I reckon that the tempo is too high for United's own good. They need a play like Carrick to put his foot on the ball now and again and slow down the pace.
United's subs are already up and warming up. Cleverly has returned to play and seems okay.
Nice little chip to the backpost from Wellbeck. Cointreau was able to clear out.
Fantastic ball in on the inside of the left boot by Giggsy - RVP fluffed the shot. He seems a bit off the boil in the past four or five matches. Is he carrying an injury, perhaps?
I am home
How's it gone so far
Get it over Nani... good break
Terrible corner!!
Great overlap by my boy Nani and he wins a corner. Wasted though.
And now a yellow card for Evra as Real break.
Welcome back, UWS. Cagey so far. Only a couple of real chances. United are sitting back a bit, allowing Real to play and trying to hit on the break.
HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN!!!!!
Corner to United - make it count!
Oh - is it in! No offside!
Off the post... rebound straight to the keeper.. off side any way
What do you think about Rooney on the bench?
is he going to have a strop and want to leave?
In the Championship, Burnley have taken the lead through Charlie Austin against Barnsley.
Wolves are leading Millwall away from home through a strike from David Edwards.
a quarter of the match done... come on United
Stop booing OLD TRAFFORD... I hate the sound
Hey - it's working so far. I think Fergie wanted to have a couple of quick guys running at the likes of Arbeloa and Ramos rather than Roon dropping deep. I expect to see Wayne sometime in the second half.
I'm not quite sure what or who they're booing.
I like the pace
Lovely interplay between RVP and Welbeck. Ramos got back there in the end.
Welbeck doesn't have the pace though.. it hurt him there
I don't know why United want to play at such a frenetic pace.
Who's on top in the midlands?
I want to attack with pace
I don't understand what Gus is yelling at half of the time.
I looked away for a second and Gus Johnson went nuts... it was nothing.. Ronaldo got past one man... in midfield
From the text update, it looks fairly even.
Ronaldo was open in the box... cleared... Rafa phaffs about with it but United survive
That must be it - he's yelling any time Skippy touches the ball.
RVP has been Rooney-like as of late... not too impressive
ahhh, you're right
Not a Big Club have taken the lead at Watford. Shock one there.
Wednesday is ahead at Vicarage Road
Yeah - I noticed that earlier when he fluffed a chance. I wonder if he's carrying a slight knock.
A bit too much space out wide right there for Real. Allowed Arbeloa to get a cross over to Higuain.
ONLY SIX TEAMS have won the English Championship more times than Sheffield Wednesday!!!
United, Pool, Arsenal, Everton, Villa and Sunderland!
I would take an away draw at Leicester today, to be fair.
Not a big club.
Ball in the net but whistle went
Clash of heads between Ramos and RVP there. Ramos come off worse.
BLOODY HELL... KNOCK IT IN WELBECK
Gus didn't get too excited there!!!
Viidic is punched in the face...hope he is okay
Dortmund take the lead on the night and on agg
Posh beating Charlton 1-0
just stay on your feet Rafa!!!
You dove
First yellow card of the evening for Real - to Arbeloa. That battle with Evra could get tasty.
Ridiculous there by Rafa!!!!
I HATE IT
Why would they be surprised United are playing well?
Why would we be surprised that United have played well, Gus? They're at OT! Is Gus a secret Madrid fan?
Great minds think alike
Jose looks grumpy.
Dortmund two up... why can't United do that??
Use your right foot, Ryan!
Bayern and Dortmund are frightening these days.
Why the hell is Kaka getting off the bench - he's well past it!
Di Maria hobbling away into the tunnel - did his hammy. Kaka will replace him.
Kaka about to come on for DiMaria. Some thought DM was going to be a key man
Kaka has killed us before at OT... scored 2 for Milan.. we won 3-2 but lost the second leg
Oh - David Norris just missed to the left of the goal. Leeds nearly 0-1 up.
Is he that old?
What about Modric... doesn't get a game! He a star man for Spurs
Yeah - but that was years ago when he was at his peak.
Basketball reference... knock it off
He's 30.
Giggs still does his thing!
Didn't catch it - glad I didn't.
1 added minute to the end of the half... keep it tight United
Yeah - but the difference is that Ryan has always been a top man at OT. Kaka was transferred from Milan to Real and hasn't gotten into the first team under Jose.
Score a goal now - NanI!
Less than a minute... get in the box boys
nope.. they're going to waste time
WE NEED TO SCORE!
Half time.. half way there
That's that - okay so far. Job well done.
They're playing our song as the sides go off. Don't know why.
Real will have to open up to get a goal
One goal changes all things
A Real goal is far more important than a United one
A Real go puts them through. It would also erase the away goal advantage
sorry mate... Glory Glory MAN United... it is actually the 1983 FA Cup Final Song recording
"In 77 it was Docherty, Atkinson will make in 83
Everyone will know just who we are
They'll be sing Que Sera Sear
United, Man United.... we're the boys in red and were on our way to Wembley
I'll type the whole song if you want!!!
Brum are one up at home to Blackpool
United are in a perilous position here... one goal and we're out
United take on Chelsea in the Cup on Sunday at 12:00 on FSC... bloody Gus Johnson again
Still no goal from Nani... Nostrabobus... you promised!
A United goal does not end it at all! Even two won't!
If Untied go two up.. a scrappy goal to make it 2-1... last minute goal... United out!
NERVOUS NELLY HERE
Second half underway
Suck a goal in Stretford End
Still 45 minutes to come...we're underway again.
Why is Rafa so wide left and high?
And more importantly - come on, you Whites!
Sir Alex Ferguson talking to ITV Sport: "We continue the way we are doing. We are playing with great speed and we must take our chances.
"The concentration has been good, it is essential that is 100%. If we keep doing that it gives us a better chance."
VERY VERY VERY LESS IMPORTANT
YES!!!!!!!!!!
ONE NIL!!
OG!!
SHOULD HAVE SCORED BEFORE THAT
GOAL!!!!!!!
Ramos knocks it in his own net after a great cross from......NANI!
SHUT UP GUS... NO WHERE NEAR DONE
Nostrabobus has spoken!
Nice finish, Sergio! 1-0!
I know you don't want to hear this but it doesn't change the match. One goal back and we're into extra time. Jose is sulking now.
I reckon that Jose will be at Citeh next season. How much will you hate him then?
I though Nani should have been in the box better... Nostrabobus still is not right
Real's position is much worse than it was
We need TWO more goals!
Real are 40 minutes away from an early exit from the CL.
Get knotted - a give you a goal and you're still not happy.
Palace have taken the lead against Hull. That's second v. third in that match.
Tom is watching the match on his computer... he has Martin Tyler... lucky bugger
STRUTH... that was a dangerous ball!!!
Just read you comment about the goal not changing it much... Totally agree
BLOODY HELL... NANI GETS A RED CARD!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody hell! What is that?!
Well, that certainly changes things. I do not believe it. Totally unnecessary. Fergie not happy at all.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
Sam Byram with our opener at Leicester!!!!!
0-1!
United will just sit back now... Not liking it
It was from a corner by Ross. Long to Byram at the back post. The Foxes caught napping.
Modric coming on
Luka Modric comes on to bring the silly hairband factor.
Come on Old Trafford... make it a fortress
United's defense looked shaky there
That's got us back up to 9th and four points out of the playoff spots. Brighton are currently drawing away to lowly Bristol City.
Still don't want us sitting back for half an hour just pumping down to no one
Fortress OT!
An hour gone here. United fans are praying now.
Sttruth.. how did that not go in!
Oh - that was dangerous - great clearance by Rafa.
that was a handball by Rafa
Udinese West have leveled it against Not a Big Club. 1-1 there.
Very busy in the United area now.
I'd have Rooney on to run about now.
Not liking United just sitting back
I know we are man down but it doesn't matter a lot of the time
Are you on the edge of your seat, Dave?
For Welbeck
United can't get it out of their half
Oh - great strike by RVP but Lopez saved well.
Decent hit by RVP
I am okay. I don't have a lot of confidence in this group of course
Charlton have turned it around at Posh - they're 1-2 up now.
Giggs now urging the crowd
Hopefully the ref will not give Real much because of the red
Palace beating Hull in a top of the table clash
Bloody hell... Modric with a rocket
Bugger! A corker from Modric levels it. Sorry, mate.
Why let him shoot
Perfect shot
Twilight nearly got there but there was a lovely curl on it.
Bensema about to come on but the goal makes him sit down
Roon to come on soon?
Definitely Roon should come on soon. He's got that little bit of magic that could change this match again.
Sorry, mate - Skippy with the lead goal. Wasn't he off?
Ronaldo with a tap in
No celebration
Game over
United need to score TWICE
No - Rafa was napping and played him on. Sorry, mate.
The red card has completely changed this match. Shame.
Hang in there. Can United score - THEY ALWAYS SCORE!
Shoot it Welly
Cross the ball to Sramos
Now Real go with a defensive substitution. Ozil off for Pepe.
Have to SCORE TWICE
Udinese West now leading Not a Big Club. Lovely!
Who got the yellow card there? Carrick? Dissent.
Carrick in the book for his lip
No intent there from Khedira. Roon to come on now. Fergie should have done that ten or fifteen minutes ago!
Wolves two up at the Den
Roon to come on... I hope he is up for it and not still bummed for not playing
Cleverley off
Come on, Wayne - we need a couple of beauties from you, mate.
Ah - Danny with a simple header at Lopez.
United attacking now.. they should have been doing this earlier
Palace now 2-0 up against Hull who have slipped to third.
No they weren't Gus... it was still wide open
Fifteen minutes left - plenty of time to score twice.
Well, Steve will be happy.... Arsenal the last English team in the CL... not for long but..
The ref isn't giving United much slack.
Dortmund 3 up
I doubt he'll be happy. He's like me - any English side in Europe...well, apart from Spurs.
Posh have leveled it up. Desmond there.
Useless pass by Roon
Yashley to come on soon....
Modric with a somewhat tamer effort this time. Twilight holds.
Come on, Roon - time to turn it on!
Come on United
Attack
Let Real sit back at their peril
Boro have taken the lead at Huddersfield. Not good.
Welbeck has a shot blocked
Carrick well over
Now that should have been a penalty. Definite handball.
Young?
What about Hernandez?
Was that a handball
Attack, attack...attack, attack, attack!
Blackpool have leveled it at Brum. Too sides below the half-way mark who I thought might go up this season.
United can't cross the ball anymore
Still hanging on to that slim margin at the Walker. Hang on, you Whites!
Oh - great save from Lopez! Giggs nearly scored.
Carrick with the header... saved... bugger
Oh - it was jammy but it nearly got through to RVP. Saved by Lopez.
And now Roon - fires over!
Useless by Rooney but RVP almost in.. they Roon misses from SIX YARDS!
Derby have taken a shock late lead at Cardiff!
Roon should have left the ground in order to get over the ball.
Gus thinks Nani was undisciplined!!!!!
Gus... stop trying to analyze SAF... you haven't a clue
Warren gets it right - he needs to give Gus a kick in the balls for that.
surprised Ron didn't score there
Come on, United!
