Who do you fancy for tonight?

Im on HT/FT draw/home.........£60 on.......hopefully get £260 back!

rly cant see united winning without rooney, he's become as valueable for them as torress/gerrard are for pool.
LAY UNITED IN 90mins imo

Man utd   @ 3/4
Alloa   @ 1/2

Double pays just over 6/4

£30 on

I will give you a straight £50 bet (are we talking about going thru or winning on the night?) - im talking on the night

will need to confirm on here by 7.15 as will be in car for 1st half

ROONEY STARTS

Did agree that Man U couldn't win without Rooney but not betting against them now. Gone for Rooney to score 2 or more at 9/2.

FK OFF SIR ALEX,SURE NOT GUNA BREAKDOWN

Bayern @ 4-1 with Paddy Power for me, will put it in a double with Fulham @ 9-2 with betfred tomorrow. Both value bets IMO. Bayern on the counter attack with Robben will be very dangerous....not happy with Rooney playing obv.

ITV+ Clive Tydsley+ Man U vs Bayern = 200000000000000000000000000000 mentions of that "famous night in Barcelona".

I might have to watch this with the sound off.

TV on. sound off. Radio Commentary. Oh wait. Alan Green

As you were

I'm worried as a United and England fan with Rooney starting tonight. Maybe he should have started from the bench even if he is fit

I'm on Bayern

How stupid are some United fans?

Wearing green and gold scarves withe their AIG sponsored shirts.

Sure Glazer gives a damn what they think as long as they keep buying their replica shirts at £49.99 a pop.

Ah no Tyldseley, it will only get mention 10000000000000 times now.

so true.

just backed robben to score next at 10/1, no idea why.

faded it when rooney started. Just hope bayern score next to make a game out of it

pls take rooney off.

Set up for a decent 2nd half now.

Hold!!

Fekk you ref!

I'll be happy for bayern to score in the 94th minute to send them out, and still get my double up!

Im trying not to be biased. Was that really worthy of a booking???

Yes

bollox lol

Yes

Nice to see he's buggered up Rooney for however long, sigh

wowzer

11 men behind the ball now Bayern!!!

sigh my bet on man utd for the cup is not looking good now.  was going to lay them off if the reached the final but looking like i've fooooked it!

gg. Don't even look like producing a chance let alone a goal

Well done Dave

GTFI.

yassssss!!

Couldn't have asked for a better result! Double up and Utd out!

Great build up to the Darts at SECC tomorrow night!!

gtfo  fergie, justice for risking rooney

there is a touch of this in my mind too.

Friend of mine is getting married on the same day as the Champion's League final and the Championship playoff final. A bridesmaid is a Man Utd fan, another one is an Arsenal season ticket holder - she's clearly jinxed them so there's no clash.

She's marrying a Forest fan so gg their playoff chances.

LOL

I bet so many United fans already have Madrid booked after the quarters/semi draw was made.

Ferguson really showed his faith in Berbatov and that he believes United are more than a one man band,I doubt Rooney was more than 50% fit.

Who is better Carrick or Djemba-Djemba?

kleberson

You don't honestly think England have got more than a tiny chance of winning the World Cup do you?

As an unbiased scotsman I would say england are about 9 or 10/1 with Rooney.....then about 16 maybe even 20/1 without so I do think he will make a massive difference to yer hopes

without rooney we're about 100/1 with rooney about 25/1

Jesus don't ever go into bookmaking whatever you do.

I'll take £25 on either if your serious

whichever one happens i'll take

What i'm saying is we're too short. Why would i lay 25/1 when i know i can lay something around 5/1

Yeah not getting this decision. Sends out an awful message to Berbatov too. Do you think he's done at Utd?

Surely this is the proof that the "eeee pee ell" is no longer the strongest league in Europe. Not one English team could defend properly in the CL this season

So it is Spain then, who you would say have proved themselves defensively in this competition? For all their greatness going forward they are hardly rock solid at the back, Barcelona and how did the mighty Real Madrid fair in this competition.

Trying to make sweeping statements on one season of Champions league competion is doomed. The top 3 in the Premiership are still among the best 6 or 7 sides in Europe, the question has always been about strength in depth, where England actually have 2 teams in the final 8 of the Europa cup.

I have not changed my mind personally about the hierarchy in Europe being Spain> England>>>>>>>>> Italy>> Germany>>>>>>>>The Rest.

Lol good question Carrick is completely brutal, the invisible man as  i refer to him as, he's always on but you never see him.

GTFO utd, even with the easy draw they couldnt get the job done, and Fergie is his usual charming gracious self , "typical germans" and all  this b.s just take  the defeat Sir Baconface Onetime plzzzzzz

Well said, Swalex doing his usual deflection job. For a great manager he talks some amount of bollox, hope he gets done for the typical Germans comment.

It's not really an English league though is it.  Leaning towards an international league nowadays.

It makes me laugh all the "England fans" being pissed off that Rooney started because it could ruin their world cup hopes. ManUtd pay his wages not England. If he's injured they still have to pay his wages so surely its up to Fergie to do whatever he sees best to win the game. International football pisses me off. Players go on international duty come back injured for a serious length of time, ie Van Persie and the clubs get nothing so why should the clubs not play their best players at crucial times of the season if that is what the managers think best

[  ] This is true

Obv he can do what he want's but since England fans are looking forward to the World Cup and since no Rooney equals no chance surely we're entitled to care ?

lol that your sig has changed. jinx imo.

Twice Torres has come back from games with Spain (friendlies or WC qualifiers) with injuries that took ages for him to recover from.  In fact, he's still recovering from the last one.

Same for Van Persie, as Dan mentioned, and a whole load of other players.  Whenever Gerrard plays for England, I'm hoping he doesn't get injured first and foremost before I'm worried about the result and if England win.

The clubs might get some compensation, but does it cover the costs of missing out on a key player for months?  How would Liverpool and Arsenal have faired this season if Torres and Van Persie had been fit all the way through?  How are manu going to get on without Rooney (not that I'm saying he was injured in an International, but key players being injured can hinder a team's chances of winning anything, if the injury occurs away from club duty, the club feels aggrieved)? 

you got to put a lot of the blame on potato head himself surely? he has to say i'm fit to play or fergie wouldn't pick him.

I think Fergie should stop playing him now so that when you inevitably lose at the world cup you can blame Fergie for his lack of match fitness.

I'm sure Fergie would love to get the blame for England being a lot poorer than the English think they are, in fact, i'm sure he'll love it.

Well my sentences were not meant to be linked for one. The bit about bad defending was an observation, not additional proof.

Of course the top 3 in the eee pee ell are in the top 8 or so in Europe I'm just saying our league isn't stronger than Spain's any more.

I agree that it now goes Spain>England>the rest but not prior to this season.

Spain also has two teams still in the Europa League no?

I was just making the point that clubs do get some compo.Injuries are inevitable with all players and since International football isn't going to stop anytime in the near future then clubs will have to live with it.

International football is pants.

A four yearly club championship of the world would be 10000 times better than the World Cup.

Generally agree but Spain have made it interesting for me in the last two years.

The last WC was dross though.

World Cups are incred,football everyday with upto three games a day,don't get better.FACT :)

Meh completely disagree a club championship would be no where near as interesting for me personally compared to the world cup. Also why would anyone do away with the most popular sporting event in the world.

I love the world cup as it is completely different to watching the same club sides who dominate the champions league.

For all those games you get what, three or four great games?

There are more than that in the CL every season.

I like the idea of the world cup more than I actually enjoy it.  now i'm thinking that i cant waitfor the world cup but when it actually comes i will get bored with it very quickly.

Three or four ??? There are more than that with the group games alone plus the fact it's such a short time period compared to 7-8 months.Plus it's pretty immense when England get to the quarters and the whole country gets overexcited before we blow it again.I love it and am really looking forward to it.

This probably sounds like a "if you don't have kids you don't understand" comment but i think if you support a decent football team then you have probably forgotten/ don't realise how good the atmosphere is before world cup games. In Liverpool the city may be buzzing on a champions league quarter final night but in places like Mansfield for example they don't really get that feeling anytime other than world cup games. Knowing that everyone is buzzing before a big England game is amazing.
The buzz>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the football

What price would Barca be to win the world cup?

I would take 3/1 for sure.

They play better than any international team by far.

Bit harsh? Seeing as international footy is part time and Barca are one of the greatest sides of all time.

Bleh.

A load of hooligans getting overly drunk and racially abusing anyone they think isn't English.

Not my idea of fun.

I spend the whole year loathing the likes of Asley Cole, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand etc, why should I suddenly want them to do well.

I dread the jingoism which would ensue if England win the World Cup.

COME ON SPAIN!

No chance!

Which ones from the last WC will go down in living memory as great?

We'll have to agree to disagree since I don't remember a month ago nevermind four year

Lol fair one.

Possibly my new fave word.

I would smash 3/1 off the board, even a market as liquid as the WC!

i would say most decent european sides would do better in the world cup than individual nations.
