Hello Bob. Sorry I won't be around today. I am giving a chapter test at this time then during the second of the match I will be attending a really tedious meeting about the new graduation requirements in Texas public schools.
Afternoon, mate - I'll be on hand to wish the Red Devils the best. Tend to those kiddies, eh?
Ten minutes to kickoff - here are the line-ups:
Olympiakos: Roberto; Leandro Salino, Manolas, Marcano, Holebas, Maniatis, Ndinga; Campbell, Dominguez, Perez; Olaitan. Subs: Megyeri, Paulo Machado, Samaris, Haedo Valdez, David Fuster, Papadopoulos, Bong Songo.
Man Utd: De Gea; Smalling, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Cleverley, Carrick; Valencia, Roon, Young; Van Persie. Subs: Lindegaard, Giggs, Hernandez, Welbeck, Kagawa, Buttner, Fellaini.
Referee: Gianluca Rocchi (Italy)
Teams out on the pitch now listening to the CL anthem. We're about to get underway.
Crikey - that's an early yellow card for Evra. A bit of backchat with the ref. Silly billy.
Oh - Twilight forced to do well with an early cross.
United a bit loose at the back early doors.
Moyesy out of the dug-out; he doesn't like what he's seeing from his lads.
Oh - wonderful saving tackle from Vidic when Dominguez ran through on his own.
Oh - Yashley nearly picked out RVP with a clever ball to the near post.
In the earlier kick off, Dortmund defeated Zenit 2-4 and are now in pole position to go through to the quarters.
Now the chances are coming from United - Clev rocketing one well over the bar.
Oh - Valencia had a chance to knock one in but it was a poor delivery. I can hear a grumpy UWS from here.
Corner opportunity now for United....
Cleared out by the keeper.
Oh - Dominguez tried a pop and riffled the side netting, exciting the fans on the far side. Twilight had it covered.
GOAL! Olympiakos have taken a shock lead just before the interval!
I am here
Olymp score… horrible deflection and United are behind!
United have been pathetic of course!
NO PACE
NO CLUE
Lethargic half… well put
It was a jammy goal with a huge deflection off Dominguez from the initial long shot going past Twilight into the net.
1-0 Olympiakos.
Doesn't this team care
Don't these players care
STUNNED
Afternoon, UWS - sorry about that one. A bit unlucky. But you're right - United haven't been good.
Manchester United teams.. ATTACK!!
Free kick chance for Roon - get it back!
Good delivery in toward RVP but the defender nodded it over the bar.
United put in a free kick… flicked over the bar by the defender
RVP has come off worse in a collision with the keeper.
Hello lads. Here to chip in with a comment. Still 0-0?
RVP got an arm in the temple
NOPE
ONE DOWN
According to UWS, United have been useless.
FLIPPIN' HECK! Losing to a Greek team!
Unbelievable… all the way back from the keeper!!!
The commentator agree with me
Time to attend the tedious meeting instead of watching a tedious United performance.
The defenders are clueless
The strikers are clueless
STUNNED… why should i be though… it has been like this all season
Another rookie mistake by Smalling - what's up with him?
That's it for the first half - you two have a right to be grumpy today.
JUST PATHETIC
The ball goes across the field with not much accuracy and then a hopeless cross by Evra
Smalling with ridiculous piece of footwork and passing
How does he wear the shirt
Half time
Lots of lower league games today
The blades are nil nil at Colchester
Pompey the same against Ac Stan
Same with Cambridge at Braintree
First time in the knockout stage that the home team has the lead at half!
5 knockout games so far and the away team has won them all… UNITED LOOKING TO END THAT STREAK!
First time Untied have trailed at all this season in the CL
Not a single goal in two and half games for English sides

Yorkshire cricket captain Andrew Gale: Used to love watching United play, find them pretty boring these days.
ARE YOU LISTENING MOYES
Off we go for the second half
UNBELIEVABLE START
Lose it in the back
United can't pass the ball out of the back
They just give the ball away every time!
WHERE IS THE FIGHT FROM THE HALF TIME TALK
Did Moyes say… keep it going!
I'm really surprised that Moyes didn't make any changes at the interval.
I don't care if United come back and win this 3-1
I am totally disgusted!
where's the 300 grand a week man… invisible
That pass by Roon right there was atrocious!
A five yard pass to Valencia was ten feet in the air
How is Yashley still on the pitch!?
Rooney is playing LEFT BACK
Why is he there!!
How are any of them on the field still
Better by United???? IT WAS A CROSS RIGHT TO A DEFNDER
GOAL! Campbell has rattled in a second for the Greeks! What is happening?!
TWO NIL
Started because of losing possession in the midfield because they were too slow
Decent effort by an Arsenal loanee
Useless tackle by Carrick
Didn't close down by Rio
Really poor by Clev, Carrick and Rio there as Campbell dispossessed them and was allowed to shoot with impunity past Twilight.
2-0!
Really poor by Clev, Carrick and Rio there as Campbell dispossessed them and was allowed to shoot with impunity past Twilight.
2-0!
attacking throw… makes it back to De Gea!!!
Sorry, lads - this is really painful to watch.
Roon is just walking!
Kagawa to come on … hopefully for Cleverley
When are the changes going to be made???
United are just going backwards all the time!
Get. Yashley. Off!
Welly on for Valencia now. Come on, United!
And Kags for Clev - good move.
Finally
Kagawa and Welbeck on
for Cleverley and Valencia
Welly sucks!
Kags has done nothing
Young is still on the field!
Where's Januzai
BLOODY HELL!!!
Yeah - I'd have Janu on for Yashley pronto.
RVP looks disinterested
United can still probably beat this lot 2-0 at OT but I'd like to see at least one goal back tonight.
RVP hasn't done much tonight.
Aberdeen two up at home to Celtic
They'll only be 21 points behind in second
2-1 now
Why would you say that
We have beaten only one team by more than two goals all season in the league… away to Swansea
Pompey take the lead at home to Accrington Stanley.. who are they? EXACTLY
I have faith in United's European traditions.
It's a sad day when Welbeck has to inject anything!
Uh oh, Cambridge now losing…they are on a slippery slope down the league!
Hey, you're talking about an England international there!
HOPELESS
YOung tries to just run through THREE defenders…. he lost the ball! Shocking
I don't know which has been worse
the attack
the midfield
the defense
Olympiakos are doing well picking up cheap fouls now.
Has Rio announced his retirement yet? If not, why not?
Don't disagree with one word!
Keane lays into United!
Roy Keane on ITV: 'United have been very poor haven't got going, slow sloppy, stray passes, they haven't been good enough.
'Smalling, Valencia, Young they’ve all lacked quality.
'Nobody has been aggressive enough, Olympiacos are an average side.
I think he retired in the fifth minute of this match!
I agree with Keano's descriptions.
LOL! Boom boom, mate!
GET SMALLING OFF
GET YOUNG OFF
GET THEM ALL OFF!!
I don't think United have had a single shot on goal - I can't remember that ever happening in Europe.
All the players should be bursting a lung out there… they don't play to Saturday week!
NOT ONE
I have to bloody well go teach after this!
That's what we need Wayne… play between Vidic and Rio
Roon tries a Scholes pass..lucky to get to RVP.. useless effort… he fell over!
BLOODY HELL… RVP BLOWS AN EASY CHANCE!!!
Oh - RVP should have buried that one. That was the chance to get back into this tie.
THAT IS SO BAD
Useless control by Welbeck
Wins it back and then Evra gives the ball away!
That pass was NEVER on
Kags with a useless control
eventually gets it to Young.. useless attempt of a cross
THird time Fox has lost the signal… they STINK
Tom, via text: The way Utd are playing I don't think they are bothered about relieving the pressure off Moyes. Looks like 7 on the pitch should go in a summer clear out - but who'd want to join!?
Jon in Stockport, via text: Some advice for David Moyes. Instead of having to take Cleverley off and waste a substitution, how about you just don't play him in the first place. Complete waste of space!
Ricky from Bristol, via text: Never seen a Man U performance so lethargic and poor...does Moyes know how to inject any confidence into his team? So so poor!
Tony in Cheshire, via text: This season Manchester United are, to borrow a quote, a side "Best watched on Teletext". If only we still had Teletext.
Adam in Edinburgh, via text: United always end the game with a ridiculous amount of attackers on the pitch these days because Moyes poor tactics and team selections ALWAYS leave them chasing a game! The man has no clue.
Ryan in Suffolk, via text: United seem to have lost their heart and soul. Just shows that every club, no matter how big or successful, takes time to adjust to new management. Olympiacos thoroughly deserving of their lead.
I'll bet that you wish the satellite feed had stayed out, right mate?
Only 2 and half minutes to go and United still don't have any urgency
Why hasn't there been three changes… no one deserves to be on the field
Of course a Young cross finds a defender
Rio witha stupid foul
USELESS BY EVRA!!
No shots on goal!!
They better not let Moyes get away with this performance
RVP can't keep his feet
Young has a shot blocked
One more chance from a corner… All over
ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!!!!!!!
Sorry, mate - that was really depressing. Best forgotten and hope they do better by you at the weekend. Still in the tie, though; we'll see in 3 weeks.
Cheerio!
Sorry being so negative but I am stunned!
Off to college
