A Tricky CL Fixture
Manchester United face a tricky away fixture at the Bayer Arena. Hopefully, I won't need a cure for a migrane after this match. United need to get something out of this match or else they may not be guaranteed qualification to the knockout stages. Should bean interesting afternoon.

Earlier today ,Bayern won 1-3 at CSKA Moscow as eighteen year old , Julian Green made his first team debut for Bayern as a sub. Jurgen will be hoping that the young American , who is also eligible to play for Germany, pledges his allegiance to the U.S.
They're off frm the Bayer Arena.
COME ON UNITED!
DON'T SUCK!
United attack from the off. A superb through ball from Kagawa to Roon and he is just offside as he chips the keeper as it is just wide.
Former Liverpool hard man, Sami Hyppia, is in charge of Bayer. All the more reason for United to win.
The winner of this match clinches a place in the knockout stages.
Great run down the right and Valencia wins a corner.
Poor short corner comes to naught.
PSG take the lead vs Olymiacos.
Who else, but zlatan ,with the goal, PSG are already through to the knockout stages and a win would clinch top spot in the group.

More misery for Bayer as Shkhtar go four up vs Sociedad as Bayer will need a United win vs Shkhtar on the final group match day. Douglas Costa with a brace as all four goals have been scored by Brazis.
Three minutes of stoppage time as one minute has already been played.

Off to Paris ten man PSG have gone 2-1 up vs Olympiakos in stoppage time. Cavani with the goal.
Benfica now 2-3 up at Anderlecht.
It's over as PSG hold on to win 2-1 and have clinched top spot in Group C.

United are through and will win the group with a draw or win vs Shakhtar at OT in fortnight. Bayer will need a win vs Sociedad and that United win or draw to avoid a place in the EL.
That's it for me as it's been a great start to a five day vacation with a five goal away win by United. Wishing everyone and their families a Happy Thanksgiving.
A decent performance by United
I was still not too thrilled by the two wide men.
I heard an interview with Giggs saying he thought Valencia played well... I don' think so! He and Nani and Smalling can't put a decent cross into the box to a teammate!
I miss the days of Morgan and Best, Coppell and Hill, Giggs and Kanchelskis , and Giggs and Beckham!
