Things are going like clockwork....

[maxxi]

...cuckoo clockwork.

[maxxi]

Where's the special thingy you use for getting a team out of a hole?...http://www.patricktaylor.com/uploads/dclassicswiss1.jpg... oh yeah, he went to Man City...

[maxxi]

Good to see the Blues doing so well tonight though.......

...Napoli that is.

[Parkdrive]

Bye bye Manchester. Will the opposition fans sing "sacked in the morning, your getting sacked in the morning" to Ferguson? Thursday football for the blues and reds.

[Mick Mac]

Oh dear. The Manchester teams are in the Europa league? Bit of a step down.....but I'm sure we will have new 1 st and 2nd favourites. It's more fun than the champions league anyway

[maxxi]

*sings* Manchesterrrrr la, la, laaaa, Manchesterrrr la, la, laaaa....

so for CL final stage qualification that would be London 2:0 Manchester right?

Makes the upcoming FA Cup game a MUST win for both, if only to salvage a little pride.

[Mick Mac]

Gareth southgate needs to be careful. He said MU managed to replace Keane and Beckham but not Scholes. He was standing beside Roy Keane at the time. Brave man.

Fun or funny? United were in easiest group of ALL the English clubs by a country mile. I wonder how United's official media representatives, Sky, will put a positive spin on this one?

[Parkdrive]

I'm pleased for Na$ri, he must be over the (blue) moon that he made his move. >:D

[maxxi]

Tevez is probably celebrating his fellow Serie A colleagues victory though.

Keane has his "It wasn't like this in my day..." look on full beam.

[Parkdrive]

Southgate says United are in "transition", really? You could say the same for City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool etc. Whatever happened to that unique ingredient that, according to Sky anyway, only Man Ure possess. So called character, so often said to be the characteristic that divides them from the rest. Must have dried up tonight eh?

[kpc]

Big welcome to the Europa League for both Manchester teams. It's not a bad little competition really, I've quite enjoyed the distraction from the Championship even though it looks as though we won't be joining you in the knock-out stages.

[maxxi]

Did you not have Basel at 5/1 then Mick?

The new Man Utd fragrance this Christmas: Channel No. 5

[Parkdrive]

Amazing how there is a distinct lack of banter from the Man Ure fans on here who were so vcal when crowing about the 8 - 2 win over Arsenal. My my how times change, fnacy being dumped out of Europe by the minnows of Basel. City must be gutted 10 points has seen many other teams through but not them.

While on the subject of Citeh, here's a little number for $amir Na$ri - Nana nana nana nana na na na na, you're on channel 5, channel 5, you're on channel 5.

Somebody has bought me a recently amended Atlas of Europe, apparently Manchester isn't in it.

[StraferJack]

That Channel 5 joke became irritating to even non-Man fans about 10pm last night

Isn't Europa league on ITV4 this year anyway?

[Otta]

Pipe down Strafer, I missed all the footy last night (band practise), so this is the first I've heard. Fucking hilarious if you ask me.

>:D< Loads more mileage in this, keep em coming.

Apparently stores in Surrey, Hampshire, and Dorset have sold out of paper tissues as disappointed Man Ure fans buy up stocks to dry their tears. According to them Thursday is the new Wednesday.

[Bluerevolution]

How to watch your team in Europe:

Arsenal & Chelsea - ITV & Sky Sports

Man City & Man Utd - Channel 5 & ITV 4

Liverpool - ESPN Classic

[Undisputedtruth]

Realistically, did Man U ever had a chance in winning the champions league this season? I was impressed with the Barcelona's youngsters and it seems Barcelona FC's name is on the cup again.
