Ajax vs Man U, Porto vs City and Stoke vs Valencia. I'll go for 2-1 Man U...2-0 Porto (unfortunately as I am a City fan) and I somehow think Stoke will get a result. :thumbsup:

Still 1-0 for United.

Would have watched it sooner but forgot that it was on Channel 5. 20 minutes to go.

edit: Can't watch it now as it's clashing with my Eastenders and Emmerdale recordings. :greengrin

Still a pleasure watching Ajax play...have done for many years...anyone else think that strip would look good with the red changed to green?

Porto 1-1 Man City - own goal.

Shame it wasn't Balotelli, as he's allegedly been on the receiving end of racist abuse throughout the game.

Man City's discipline has gone out of the window in the past 2 minutes, with 3 yellow cards in quick succession!

I seen that. Betting was actually suspended on the 10/1 for a couple of minutes.

Somebody somewhere must have raked in a fair packet the night!

Yeah, I couldn't believe it...wish I'd put a wee bit more on!! 5 mins to go and it was 11/1 the draw, 300/1 Porto. Anyway can't complain :)

Pity they didn't have a " midfield" or they would have probably won.
ManUre had it all their own way in the middle of the park - start to finish

Nothing to choose surely between Man C and Porto over discipline - ref was a bit card happy at times

Two good games to watch as a neutral

:thumbsup:

I won't have respect for the Europa League until they stop using it as a back-up option for failed Champions League teams.

Teams play their hearts out to get to the latter stages then find the big rich clubs suddenly appear and start scooping up the Europa cash.

If you're out, you're out!

I agree, if you're knocked out of the cl you shouldn't drop into another competition.

Man utd dominated the game. Strange comment that Ajax would have won if they had a midfield. Explain? Both sides had one but Man u were better.

Agree totally with your take ion this :top marks
Watching the two games last evening this very subject came up and we were agreed they have just formed another " rich club "competition

" The rich get richer and the poor get poorer "

Will try and spell it out for you :greengrin
My point was Manure had a midfield which worked well , Ajax were lacking in that department.
That meant that no pressure was being put on Manures defence which last night could have been their achilles heel .

Still all a matter of opinions which we are both entitled to :wink:

Opinion is allowed. But Ajax offered little up front and were opened up a few times at the back. Man U played in second gear and won comfortably. So in my view they were better all over the pitch. This Man U team are not as pleasant on the eye but have a very good chance of doing the double.

Interestingly the point was made before the game by the studio pundits that if Ajax could put pressure on MU's back four they could win the game .
" They don't like to be pulled about" - as it happened they didn't have the midfield skill to do that
But then what do TV football pundits know about the game ? :confused:

Not sure if Man U will win anything - too inconsistent
