Man Utd News 24/7
good draw lads do ye agree?
great to see the dippers at home first against the rent boys…
in my opinon the draw could not have gone much better, except if we had the 2nd leg at home…
but overall we should be very very happy
fucking delighted!
couldn’t be better
that is quite literally how i would have designed it.
get on,couldnt have been better
Im happy .. porto first then the gunners?
Great draw as i said elsewhere.The only downside that we will play our first game at home in both phases.Let’s hope Chelsea and Pool beat the crap out of each other.
Man Utd vs Bindippers @ Rome CL FINAL Confirmed?
Jokes aside, I couldn’t be happier. Although being at home in the final leg would have been better… but still, we can’t all have the cake and eat it no? =)
Delighted as well, but i’m getting really bored with the dippers drawing the chavs in every competition they play in
Well chuffed, best draw we could have had other than as poeople have said the away tie first. Revenge them for 2004.
Dippers v rentboys again, at least one of the horrible cunts are gonna be out.
Triple revenge King Eric.First with Porto,then with Villareal(for 05) and then the dippers.Last year when we lost to Shity on the 50th Anniversary,i thought a big pay off would be on the way and we won the Ch.League.After the humiliation of Saturday,the big payoff will be beating them in Rome.
Oh and let’s hope that between Chelsea and Pool the team that goes through is the one that also will chase us for the title.
Not sure about Arsenal, personally I think it will be
porto – 1/4
Villareal – semi
Bayern – final
We are absolute favorites against Porto and I am pretty sure that after first leg we will even have chance to rest a few players in the second one. Don’t get me wrong, Porto is a solid team, but nothing more. Also, we are in excellent position for semifinals as well. I think that Villareal and Arsenal are 50/50, and would not be surprised at all to see Villareal knocking Wenger out of the competition. To be honest, I am not sure which one I would like more in the semis. Villareal I guess…as there would be less pressure. Bad news is that we are playing the first leg at home in semis as well.
King Eric,any surprise here?

i think its good we have a home match 1st in both the quarters & semis. surely we will not be sitting back.
Excellent draw …. for the Gunners … facing Porto in the semis … Hahahahahahahahahaha
)
So Porto/villareal and Arsenal are cannon fodder.
I would be the happiest guy on earth if they prove me wrong.
great draw for the quaters and i dont want to be neg but wengers lot are a bloody good team, but porto should be a piece of cake
For operational purposes only, either Barca/Bayern/Liverpool/Chelsea will be the designated home team in the final, WTF
they way united are playing I wouldn’t say beating Porto was a foregone. More like a Porto Arsenal semi!
Wazza just answered on the other topic.
WOOOOOW what a draw!! We could not have asked for a better draw. We are in Rome for sure.
The quintiple is alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can anybody give me the link to the article about how the FA screw us over and don’t give us special treatment. In an email arguement with a mate and need to back myself up. Cheers if you can
lets have a quick poll who would you prefer to go through liverpool or chelsea 4yrs in a row give me a break rigged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was sayin else where that my instinct tells me we will fave Villareal in the Semis.
redgister: WTF are you doing over here ? fuck off to ur bindippers blog
nearly perfect draw for us, could only be improved by having the first legs away… Trip to Rome anyone?
superb draw for united, my prediction is barca for rome from other side of draw
redgister, we dont have fuckin time for that. Fuck off to ur dipper colleagues and continue to celebrate the 1-4 victory over United.
@redgister… yeah piss off back to bindipper land! typical dirty scouse twat “ey lad they fixxed the draw” and we don´t give a fuck which one of you goes through neither of you will make it to Rome cos you get barca in the semis…
see you in rome !
Register:
Hope so, shame you won’t beat the chavs, and if you do you won’t get past Barca or Bayern.
Still never mind.
Fuck u!!! Loserfool v rentboyz- FACHT
my my language cherry figures your a man u supporter no class!
damn.. possibly the easiest route to the finals ever
of course.. thats what we said in 04′ too
I’ll see it when i believe it…err…we’ll burn the bridge when we get to it…err
Go United!
Great draw…. especially if Bayern make it to finals… and meet United when we are chasing all 5!! Result!
You should be ashamed of yourself redgister, why not try your dipper shite !
We look forward to seing u guys in the semis and PLEASE continue to assume that playing us is a formality. After all what does form matter? We just won by 4 and you just conceded 4. Dont forget to completely disregard the league form thing also. 3 for 3 in our favour against your lot in the last 2 seasons probably means nothing …….. honest……..;-) I mean can you honestly see us getting more than 1 away goal at old trafford in the first leg? Who is capable of that on our team?hardly Adebayour, nah Van Persie has no idea where the net is. That Eduardo guy has two left feet and Arshavin is only new to the game here so Man U have provbably nothing to worry about ……eh?……….hello?……..Why have you all gone so quiet? Cya in the semis.
There’s a tin of Brasso for sale on Ebay, it’s got Liverpool phone number
going soon due in court any minute for forging dole cheques
Register.
The assault case against Gerrard was dropped
We should beat Porto over 2 legs. Should we get through, I would much prefer that we face Villareal over Arsenal as I think a 2-legged tie against Wenger’s men would be difficult to call (especially as their top players are nearing full fitnesss after lengthy spells out with injury).
Good draw overall.
Have to agree that’s probably the best draw we could have hoped for,but let’s get the job done before getting carried away with a so-called “handy draw”,we all know United never make it easy
Exactly Anderson8.When we won the Ch.League we didn’t have easy ties.To be honest i wanted Porto so that the team was fresh for the games at Sunderland and the FA Cup semi.If we reach the semis,there is a giid chance that we will have the premiership all but wrapped up.So we will be able to concentrate completely on the semi finals.If we see it in two branches,it’s pretty obvious that either United or Arsenal will make the final.The other branch is tough!It can be anyone of the 4.Oh,and we could end up with two United-Chelsea cup finals in 4 days in May.
Costas – No surprises at all mate.
Guys, if you want a giggle, go on the ‘Red and White Kop’ website and look for the thread marked “CL Draw – Chelsea again then Barca/Bayern”.
Starting from page 12, the Scousers’ reaction to the draw is absolutely priceless.
It us against Barca or Chelsea in the final.
Colbert – I aint got time at minute as dinner break over but will look after work. Everytime I go on there it amuses me!
Please, please, please (courtesy James Brown) stop this complacency about Porto. Far too often we’ve got ‘the easy draw’ and then blown it. Let us not even begin to create the mood music around United that we’ll just breeze through. Remember how we thought Porto would be a doddle last time? All it takes is a good goal cancelled out by a dodgy ref (bribed??) and some duff goalkeeping and splat, you’re out. Concentration, discipline, and team-spirit, that’s what we need, not showboating as against Inter, which would have been disastrous against a better side.
Liveshit will beat the rent boys, but not barca, and we’ll beat porto, after that arsenal is the worst of all the english teams and i fancy us going through. Man united v Barca in rome, are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!? it’s gonna be sick!!!!
Think its a very good draw but we still have a job to do! The biggest danger to a day out in Rome is complacency! Would love to beat the dirty scousers in the final, u’d never hear bout ’5 times’ ever again
semis ,if its arsenal will be in england as well
less travel
Luv this draw – I loved the rivalry with Arsenal, and welcome the potential to renew it, although I think we should spank them, but with FA Cup final potential and playing them in the league its gonna get interesting.
My dream would be to play Liverpool in the final, and before the embarrasment of last Saturday I thought about the possibility that this year finally we could get our wish to play the dippers in the final after being so close in the last 2 years.
Man Utd Cinderella club that we are – play Liverpool in the final to avenge this years defeats, and do the treble again!!! GET IN
Fergie and Wenger must be smiling
right now. Hiddink and Benitez, not
so much.
does anyone know how you go about getting final tickets? i know i’m a bit ahead of the game here but what the hell!
Name On The Trophy… Rome Here We Come – MUFC
I had the immense pleasure of watching my scouser mates squirm in agony as their draw came in. As for our draw, its a good one, but we need to make it count.
Just booked my flights for Rome. Don’t want to get ripped off closer to the date.
Just come across an unopened tin of Brasso for sale on Ebay …… It had a Liverpool phone number!
absolutely over the moon with that draw! couldnt have come out better fer us.
ANYONE STILL DREAMIN OF PLAYIN THE DIPPERS IN THE FINAL????????!
The chavs will do the dippers Jamie
And if not them,Barca will certainly do them.
Why are the dippers suddenly shitting themselves? I though they were meant to be the best team in the universe ever after last Saturday.
They should make a trophy for Liverpool, called, “We finally beat United cup”, at least then they can claim some silverware for a change!
Bring on Porto
Quote/FACT from FSW after the quarter-final draw:
“Manchester United must now be favourites – they have an easier draw than us. Our half of the draw is the more difficult now after this draw.
“Obviously we did not want to [play on the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster] and with the second….
Its not only redgister who’s obsessed with United. I t all comes from the top. Voyeurs
Quote from Gus Hiddink:
“Both teams like to play football and have players in their teams to play in an attacking way. That’s a guarantee for big clashes.”
Really????
Be carefull my friends,
Lucho Gonzales
Lisandro Lopes
HULK

w´ll fuck you in quater finals
HULK….who is Hulk ???? soon you know.
irish gunner, arshavin is cup tied u cock, adebayor is playing with his boots on the wrong feet fair enough van persie the rapist thug and eduardo have a bit of class in the box but vida’s got a bit of a relaxing time comin up and will be nice and fresh come quarters and semi’s! besides villareal are too slick for a second rate cockney/foreign legion team like yourselves!
can’t wait for Benitez to come out with, ‘why don’t UEFA ever give Man Utd the hard draw? and why do we always get Chelsea? you make your own minds up but these things are FAHCTZ’
erm firstly for our draw, let’s take it one match at a time. let us sing all the way until we conquered Rome, but bit by bit. let us also be grateful for this seemingly easier draw because we are going to have so many games to play.
@jake maybe because they are scared? scared to chelshit? scared of not being able to become the team that goes to the final 4times on the trot? man it’s so weird to have a team that just beaten us 4-1 to act like this.
blue power – Ooh, terrified of those names you muppet.You know United will now be favourites no matter how you try and dress it up.
Jake – Was just about to say exactly same thing.
When they were drawing Eindhoven in the quarters 2 years ago and they were beating them with ease home and away they weren’t compalining then.
Colbert – Finally got round to going on redandwhitekop and I have to say it is fuckin quality. To say they think they are the best in Europe they don’t seem too confident do they? Comments like “Well thats us out” and “Mancs will win it now” and “Jammy cunts” and “its fuckin fixed”. Priceless.
Even Rafa is bricking himself – claiming that we must be the favourites because we have an easier draw. He can’t stop talking about United. I’m just waiting for him to mention the word ‘conspiracy’.
It’s funny but he didn’t think there was any conspiracy last year when Chelsea faced Fenerbahce and Olympiacos en route to their semi final showdown did he?This year he complains about United whom he won’t face until the final.How lower can this guy get really?
porto sucks
BENFICA RULES
Sorry Bluepower, i don’t think United players swing that way.
I’m so gappy about draw could not have been better, i’m also glad we’re playing at home first cause we can beat them in OT and then i will be more relaxing in porto after last year with Barca plus we always make life way to hard when its the other way round
Remember…HULK.
Enjoy the draw while you can, Porto have picked up some terrific form of late after a bad start and even if you beat them you may have to face the Gunners who also have lifted their performances of late and lets face it you have been playing shite for a while and flucking 1-0s, you struggled against a poor Roma side and the dippers totaly fucked you despite what the ignorant Mr Ferguson says. ps why will Mr Ferguson not appear on TV in after match interviews all other managers do it win, draw or defeat he is a spineless shite with no seagulls to call on
Mr ferguson like all mancs as a little of the Myra,s in them guttless to the end
With all due respect to the teams in our way to the final, we have avoided the most dangerous teams, Barca, Bayern, Chelsea & Liverpool. It was perfect. But let us hold our horses, remember we lost the year Porto won? There were no big teams left that year, and we blew it losing to Mourinho. No place for complacency here.
Marq i don’t think people are complacent, but the fact that this draw gives us the best possibility to making it to the final has to be cause for some confidence, as long as it remains amongst the supporters and not into the dressing room, its all good, plus it’s always fun pushing the knife a little further into the scousers!
Hey Bob, when did we play Roma this year? Idiot
Fantastic draw, besides the obvious eyesore of a Chelsea v Liverpool tie.
Crawl past Villareal, smash United and then watch Fabregas haunt his future club in the final with a mesmerising performance
Bit Optimistic?
hey Scott, your blog must be famous all over.what are the porto & benfica fans doing over here ?
Gooner the only optimistic thing you said was about smashing United.It will be a thrilling semifinal tie though.If we both make it there.As far as Bob goes,i suggest next time he shakes off the Jack Daniels before coming here and making an ass out of himself.
Makes me laugh all these cunts who say we have had an easy draw in the Quarter-Finals. So what!! we had to negotiate some bastard fixtures to win it last year. People talk about luck, they seem to overlook the fact that Arsenal are always in the latter stages due to the fact that they ALWAYS get a kind draw for the group stages.
Not to mention we got the Italian Champions three years running and current top of the Italian league (FIFA ranked 3rd best league in the world) and made them look average whilst Arsenal and Chelsea struggled past Italian also-rans
I only had a doubt?
Who will face PORTO in the final at Roma in the 27 May.
M united is not!!!!!
just back from rome, seen a ‘love united hate glazer’ sticker in one of the bars… i was thinking- wouldnt it be great to be back here in a few months fighting it out for number 4!
FC Porto will kick out man utd, trust me!
Remember:
