Are we in the Liverpool corner?
In years gone by, it was English teams all the way but not always today

I guess I want to see Bayern get knocked out

Last time these teams met were in the UEFA Cup in 2001

2:40 PM

Steve Nash.... are we watching the NBA Finals? Is Canada good at football or basketball?

Good afternoon, UWS. Here to join you before I return to work tomorrow. Agreed about the talking heads in the studio.

SHUT UP!!

2:57 PM

This is a repeat of the 1981 European Cup Semifinal where Liverpool went through on the away goals rule.

2:57 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. They finally did shut it.

2:58 PM

YNWA is brilliant

Newport County just took a 1-2 lead at rock bottom Notts County

Morecambe and Wise in the lead at Oldham . A test for Scholes.

All this passing around at the back by Bayern....I just hate it

BUGGER! Cheltenham take the lead vs Cambridge

3:09 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I completely agree with the TNT lineup. They are all stiffs. Stu Holden bless his red-white-and-blue heart is so bad on camera. Steve Nash has fewer bonifides than anyone on our blog to get the job he has. And they go back to the big studio and it's a semi-awake Edgar Davids, Maurice Edu, Timmy Howard and Carlos Bocanegra mumbling truisms and agreeing with each other. TNT has horrible coverage. They're setting the game back one broadcast at a time.

3:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I really hate how teams play... so much passing for no reason whatsoever other than to keep the ball

3:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Well said Steve

3:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

First chance... Sala just couldn't get a decent shot

Now Bayern have a shot... don't know how that was saved.... it hit him

3:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH!! Nice long ball from Hendo , but the outstretched Salah didn't make enough contact to trouble Neuer

3:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great save by Alison from ex Gunner, Gnabry then several blocked shots off a spell of Bayern pressure.

3:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That was a hell of a volley against his keeper's chest there by the Liverpool defender

3:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Mane had a man on the outside... Mane shoots... hit the target

3:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I second that. Spot on , Steve.

3:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Coman through and has a shot land in the side netting for Bayern

3:17 PM

So bad from the Liverpool keeper... what is the modern day footballer thinking!

DON'T take chances in your defensive end... STUNNING

Bob will be pleased.

3:23 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sule pushes Mane midway between the Bayern box and corner flag. Gifts Liverpool a free kick.

3:23 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Free kick doesn't beat the first man... eventually ball gets to Salah at the back post...headed wide

3:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The free kick is headed out then back to TAA and his cross is volleyed wide at the far post by Salah

3:24 PM

He was offside

3:33 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YIKES! Mane misses a real sitter. A shot from Fabinho deflected to Mane and shot wide of a wide open goal.Should have given Liverpool the lead.

3:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Radio is saying... is it a penalty
Dion Dublin says it went off a hand but then changes his mind

3:33 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Play stopped as Kimmich is down injured and may not be able to continue.

3:34 PM

3:40 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bobby F goes on a run down the left and it's just wide by Matip.

3:41 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Mane has not been on the Mane James has been more like Calamity James with the Bayern corners.

3:41 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Matip clears a cross from Gnabry for a Bayern corner. Started with bizarre pass from Neuer.

3:43 PM

Neuer has been Liverpool's most dangerous


Decent move by Pool... chipped to the back post but no one there

2001 Super Cup not UEFA Cup

4:07 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nice tackle by Fabinho on Lewandowski. Never a penalty

4:09 PM

That was after Liverpool had won the UEFA Cup and Bayern winning the CL two years after losing the epic United Final

4:10 PM

Sunderland back in front

COME ON POMPEY

4:11 PM

Why are the fans clapping


Fans of Liverpool clapping the Bayern fans for putting up signs saying that Bayern are charging Liverpool too much in the away leg

4:14 PM

Wrexham , one of Salford's challengers, two up at Boreham Wood.

4:14 PM

Could use a Barnsley defeat

4:17 PM

No, it was clapping the Bayern fans
they put up signs saying that 20 is plenty for the tickets for Liverpool fans in the second leg but they are being charged more

4:23 PM

0-0 at home is not a great result
0-0 is not a great away result
One away goal and you're toast

I remember United playing in Madrid and should have won in 00 but drew 0-0...lost the home leg...we were toast as soon as they scored

4:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

AFC Fylde lead Havant and Waterlooville 5-1. Definitely Waterloo for the visitors in a match Fylde with goals.

4:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I think that Was SAF's last season in charge of United when Jose was in charge of Real. Nani unfairly sent off at OT

4:25 PM

No... that was in 00 after United had won it in 99
Real weren't that good and it was 0-0 in Madrid
They won 3-2 at Old Trafford.
They went on to win the whole thing
