Wednesday Midweek Champions League Action Match day 5
It's Match Day 5 of the group stages of the Champions League. United is the only Prem team that has yet to clinch qualification to the groups stages. A draw vs PSG will be enough to qualify for the round of sixteen. Hopefully, Thomas Edison Cavani will show PSG why they were wrong to transfer him. Join me for all the action and more.

In the other match in the group it seems like quite a match in Istanbul as Baseksheir have just pulled it back to 2-3 vs Leipizig with a quarter of an hour plus stoppage time remaining
There are matches in the Football League. The Teesiders are one up vs the Swans. Teesiders ion eight h and Swans in sixth
In L1 the Tigers are one up vs Donny Trump. The Tigers are top by four points.
Carlisle has taken the lead vs Salford.Carlisle up to fifth place with Salford in ninth
What ARE the Turks playing at? They've only gone and subbed off that really handy Bosnian, Visca! They could really to you a favor by drawing or winning.
Afternoon chaps!
Hey Boys,
I am here
Kathy was sent home from work about an hour ago because of Covid at work.
She has no symptoms
I am here for the match

THE TURKS HAVE TIED IT UP!!
Whew! Give her a socially distant fist bump. That's scary.
If the Turks win it... will United have qualified if they don't lose by more than 5?
Great news for United . Baseksheir have come from 1-3 down midway through the second half to tie it up at 3-3.Khaveci with a hat-trick for Baseksheir
We want 4! Go on you Turks.
Good afternoon, Bob and Dave
Fans cheering as the teams come out at Kennilworth Road
Correct, Dave. United have qualified by a lose of less than five next week
That's if Istanbul wins
United only need a point but if the Turks win it... don't think we need a point!
Sorry. Good afternoon Steve and Dave. I think Bob will show up later
Crazy stuff...keeper punches...hits a guy...hits the crossbar
Into stoppage time in Istanbul
BUGGER! Leipzig have scored a late winner . Now 3-4
Bugger.... 4-3 RBL
Palace reject , Sorloth, with the goal
STRUTH....almost an equalizer!!
It's all over
I was watching the replay of the MLS playoffs, Dallas vs Seattle and fell asleep. When I woke up, the match had ended and a new one was going. But it was much, much worse. I realized I didn't recognize the uniforms though and realized it was the CONCACAF Champions League. If you watch even 5 minutes of it, you'll wonder why they bother to televise it.
LHS could beat them handily, but our ankles would be whittled down to sticks.
It's over in Istanbul as Leipzig have 3-4 thanks to a winner deep in stoppage time. United need a least a point too qualify for the Round of Sixteen
Micah Richards....I just hate him!
You can see his damn zipper
Ach! So close. Alright, time for you all to do the business against PSG.
Richards think United's team is too attacking
Thanks for the warning about the CONCACAF CL. Had a feeling ti would be like that.
I like having two out wide and Cavani thru the middle
Mikah is justifiably worried that he was always too fat to play for United.
First day that fans have been allowed to matches since March. Up to 2,000 fans will be allowed at some stadiums. OT is not one of those as there are still a lot of cases in Manchester
LOL Steve. Too fat to even play for Marine vs the SPuds
That explains it.
Shrews vs Accrington Stanley and Carlisle vs Salford allowed up to 2,000 fans
Just noticed DiM is not in the line up
Afternoon, gents - I'm just checking in during my office hours. I second the sentiment about Kathy - give her my best, too.
Come on, United!
Hopefully, Thomas Edison Cavani will show some electric finishing vs his old mates
They're off from OT .
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Will do boys
Sub's bench for DiM, surely.
Fred fouls early
Good afternoon, Bob.
Just make it a nice easy victory here boys
If United win, PSG could be in real SHTOOK
Terrible by Maguire....passes it right to the opposition!
I DON'T GET THAT YOU CAN BE THAT BAD
I just read the comments. Wishing Kathy well. I second what Steve stated.
Telles is just a few letters off of Tesla. Quite the list of scientists.
Geez....my link just changed matches!!
Did yours do the same!!
Why did they switch to a different match?
CBS SUCKS
Mine did . I don't understand why
I tried to reconnect and the whole website is down!
I turn on 5Live and Neymar scores just when I join
BUGGER
Now I am on the website and the links are for yesterday's matches
Chelsea take the lead
CBS SUCKS!!!
Yes. Suddenly I was watching another match. At least I didn't have to see that wanker get a goal.
C'mon United. Big response needed.
It was like on a tv show...tune in... and something happens!
That's what it was like with me tuning in to 5Live... goal!
Luton 2 Norwich 1....exciting start in front of fans
For some reason I can't get the matches to load. They sure do suck
Another chance for PSG...Fred giving the ball away in a terrible area
Still yesterday's matches on CBS!
CBS still hasn't fixed it. Only replays are available. I've switched to TUDN.
Finally have the match back
Off goes the radio
think I will watch on TUDn
If United don't get their point tonight....they won't qualify
Perish the thought! GET IN the Reds.
Neymar almost on the end of a cross...where are the defenders...nonexistent
United playing too slowly....AGAIN
Make some runs into the box!
I have it back on.
Weak effort from Rashford
Martial didn't know what to do with the ball... comes ton nothing
United survive a break...for now
CBS nearly twenty seconds behind TUDN
United are SLEEPWALKING....what is with this team!!!
Thanks. I signed back in too.
De Gea easily save sa bicycle kick from Neymar
Thanks, Dave
I hate this crap!! Things on line is so far behind it sucks!
Surely the technology is there for it actually to be live!
So slow!
Not a Big Club one up , but a man down vs the Reading Railroad. Not a Big club third from bottom, two points behind Forest
Refusing to put the ball in the box
Long cross.... MBap.... dives for a free kick
I feel your frustration. You have pace, but you're not employing it.
Is it Bruno?
Come on United.... start playing!!!
Sorry that it's been such a hassle for you chaps this afternoon. Come on, United - get it back!
The tech is too poor to expect us to pay.
Bruno is a gifted player, but sometimes seems like a luxury player
Uh-oh, that's a Pepe. Fred is so stupid.
VAR checking to see if Fred headed butted Paredes. The last thing we need is to be a player down. The ref now checking the moinitor
What is going now... what the hell did Fred do? What an idiot!
He's not hurt!!
What will VAR say
Ref is going to look...that means he is going to send him off.
oooh....only a yellow!
PHEW! I thought Fred was off for an early bath. Only a booking. The turning point for United?
Uh oh - that's always bad when the ref checks the monitor.
That's a gift. Pepe is trashing his gaff in frustration.
If I was OGS, I would yank him off right now!!
Bring on VDB
It was a huge acting job too
Phew!
TAKE HIM OFF NOW!!
I wonder if the over dramatics from Paredes convinced the ref that it was only a booking. Thomas Tuchel none too pleased
I agree, Dave. VDB would be a great replacement
This performance is what i was fearing!!
I read something from Sammy McIlroy today... I wish it were the same today!
Sammy also gave an insight into life in the dressing room before matches, with Sir Matt insisting that, while results were important, the team’s ability to entertain the fans was equally essential to the United ethos.
"“Everyone talks about whether he had a hard sort of way about him... he was always immaculately dressed all the time, and he would let you know if things weren't right,”" added Sammy.
"“But the thing that really sticks in my mind is before you went out to play, he'd say 'make sure those fans are entertained'. They've worked all week in Trafford Park and they've come to see entertainment, so make sure they see it. I thought that was brilliant."“""
Alioski wasn't hurt either. Frustratingly inconsistent but the Man U supporters are due a bit of luck.
Corner to United.... chance gone then!!
McTom does head it...easy save
Bruno takes the corner and the header from MCtoamin bounces into the ground and straight to Kaylor Navas
Teesiders two up vs the Swans as is Carlisle vs Salford
Sad think is... Old Trafford would be this silent if the fans were in there with this performance...well there would boos
Barca three up at Ferencvaros while Juve one up vs Chicken Kiev
Just turned on Gala... Barca 3-0 up away to Fern
Jinx
United are toothless...no one attacks a cross!
SHOOT THE DAMN BALL!!!
Dave, just what you posted from Sammy McIlroy. True and to the point for sure. Sad it's not that way today
United needs another comeback like Sunday
Every United player looks to be so lethargic
Pogba warming up.... bring him on then!!
TAKE FRED OFF
United don't comeback at home...they just lose!
It is away that they make the comebacks
WAKE UP... ALL OF YOU!!!
I hope these are the tactics you employ in January. But for now, it's seems very sluggish and counterproductive.
WAY HAY ! RASH TIES IT UP FOR UNITED!
Martial with a shot....saved!
But Rashford sneaks in!!
PHEW!!
COME ON.... SCORE MORE... WAKE UP
No one really celebrated!!!!
Magic! Gotta go down as an own goal. 1-1.
Navas did well to save a long range karate chopped shot then Obi Wan passed to Rash , and his shot wrong footed Navas as it deflected off of Danilo
UEFA awarded the goal to ash. I thought it would be given as a Danilo OG
That's one for the dubious goals committee, surely
United keep giving the ball away coming out from the back
Rash given the goal
It was on target, no?
Still don't have a good feeling about this match at all!!
Came out with the wrong mindset... and I have no idea why!
Bob will be pleased that the Reading Railroad have ties it up at the ten men in Hillsborugh. The steam engine up to fourth place with Not a Big club second from bottom
But straight to Navas but for the deflection.
Nice to see that Rashford's mum has work in the booth.
Swans pull one back at the Riverside but trail 2-1
Paredes booked for a foul on Fred , which was surely retaliation
Fred is fouled... a yellow for the other guy..who is down hurting!
Neymar is an idiot
And now the other guy gets up and sprints away...give him another yellow
AND TAKE FRED OFF....he is going to be a liability
Just don't concede another in this half.
It will be a long fifty plus minutes for sure
Now Neymar writhing on the ground from Fred
Why can't VAR get rid of that!
Agreed, Dave. Fred needs to come off at the half or else he will do something to get sent off
United are bloody toothless!!
PHEW! Close range volley from MBappe straight to De Gea. Should have scored. Great cross from Florenzi
Fred should have been taken off 20 minutes ago
Booooo! Neymar faking it again.
Now Neymar writhing from minimal contact from McTomain,. This is getting out of hand
Neymar is overrated and a nasty piece of work
Neymar down again... BOOK HIM
He was stepped on but not meant
McTom fouls again and throws the ball away...he's going to be booked soon too!
SHOW SOME SENSE
And another foul
Get down the tunnel so these two stirrers have a moment to reconsider their lives.
What was Bruno thinking there....SHOOT
What was Bruno thinking. Should have shot United into the lead , but instead a useless pass
A minute of stoppage time
Very disappointing half
This team has so many false dawns
Bruno, Bruno, Bruno. Take the shot you mug.
Second time the commentator says that PSG have to win "HERE" next week
Half time
It's 1-1 at the half. As things stand United are through, but they need to play better in the second half
now Neymar is yapping at McTom
GROW UP
Best thing is that you didn't concede a second. All to play for after the break.
I wonder if the bus to Moscow is large enough for both Little Joe and Meu Pecuino Panie?
Micah is atrocious!!!
No way that gets by Navas without the deflection.
Dortmund lead vs Lazio without Haaland
Out for the rest of the year with a hammy
Micah shows that there was more room to dig for after Basketball Steve, Chirpy-chappie Stu Holden, and Pining for the Fjords Mo Edu.
That might just be 2-3 games because don't the Germans have a winter break?
Good point Steve
Looks like they will have won the group if it stays as is
Bloody hell... Fred is still out there
Lose Fred, and get forward!!!
Neymar is going to right after him
Why isn't OGS doing something!!!
Why wait!
Luton now leads the Canaries 3-1. Canaries could have extended their lead at the top of the Championship
He's just being stubborn!
Agreed. Can't believe Fred is out for the second half , which is now underway
We are off again...please be better United
I am so fed up that I know I am going to be bored with United!!
United should know... win tonight... tank it next week... PSG out!
Again...United don't look up for it...again
That's true. Neymar will definitely embellish anything to do with Fred. Fred has to go before he's sent off.
Rash....just gives the ball away with a hopeful pass towards Martial
how is this team so inconsistent
Agreed about Neymar trying to get Fred sent off. Agreed that United need to win and lose next week to force PSG into the EL
BLOODY HELL...HOW THE HELL DID MARTIAL MISS IT!!!
OH! That needed to be karate chopped in for a United lead. Nice move and nice one two between Rash and Thomas Edison . Rash laid it on a plate top be karat chopped in
OH! Rash plaid down the right then his cross s cleared out for a corner intended for Thomas Edison
How can players of Martial's status miss that kind of ball. Is it because he's French? (Lacazette reference)
A poor miss . United should be leading
Fred with a shot....defelected
Corner to United...chance gone
Here comes the cross..free kick
Called it
Chelsea shaving the Barbers of Seville as they go two up in Sevilla . Olly with both goals
Again...no pace
So bad from Bruno
Horrible through ball by Bruno on the break
Bruno! Jesus, he simply won't take responsibility or a shot.
Cavani...off the bar... MARTIAL MISSES AGAIN!!
Yeah, more of that. Cavani so close, and Martial's effort scrambled away.
Bruno with a great dummy and pass to Martial
Our #9... bloody hell!
OH! Several chances for United to score on the break. First Thomas Edison Cavani chipped Navas , but it came off the bar then Rash with a shot blocked by Marquinhos
Two sitters missed by Martial
So as it stands... Europa League Final.... PSG vs Real Mardrid
Verratti booked for an illegal karate chop from behind
I'm back after a chat with a student and happy to see that United are level and seem to be playing well.
PSG whining again
Lindeloff in the middle of it
Get away
Now Marquinhos trying to get Martial booked . It was entirely accidental
Marquinos takes one in the eye. Veratti stirring again for a yellow.
Welcome back, Bob. Playing better than in the first half, but United can do better
Cavani called offside...bring out the lines...it was close!!!
SHOOT THE DAMN BALL RASHFORD!!
TOO MUCH DRIBBLING!!
United deserves a goal... that worries me
