As a Man U fan, don't dis Naka. He's a very good player for Celtic, one of the stars of the Scottish League. Great Goal. Man U just need to work harder.

Hm, we already did, and we won 1-0 there with Saha bein the scorer.

Gee where have you been all this time, and now you pop up just at the right time.

If you watched the game, we clearly didn't deserve to lose. Saha really pissed me off today, I can't believe the way he missed two sitters. But we're used to seein him miss chances like that, but he does score some great goals. Honestly, he needs to improve on his finishing and one-on-ones, he's a bit like Forlan, except he scored much more goals. Oh well, the perfect way to bounce back would be to score a hat-trick against Chelsea on Sunday. Can't wait.

Liverpool beat PSV 2-0. Let's hope this is a repeat of 2004-2005 with the whole piss poor effort in the league but victory in the Champions League. I'd settle for that.

Man United completely dominated possession in the first half and created a plethora of good chances. The winning free kick shouldn't have even been awarded...but to be fair it was an awesome strike by Nakamura. Yes, Saha missed the penalty and several easy chances...but I would prefer to blame our loss on the fact that the whole team just wasn't effective enough in the final third of the field. Ronaldo, in particular, absolutely destroyed the Celtic defence and on several occasions basically ran past players for the whole length of the field. He is simply awesome and if he can just add a little bit more vision and quality to his crosses...he will surely be the best player in the world.

Chelsea lost 1-0 to Werder Bremen as well...so both United and Chelsea are coming off losses in Europe before the big game. Can't wait to see us go 6 points ahead at the top of the league :D.

Where have i been? Bidin' my time...

Watched the game through my hands in the first half, Gordie wrangled some good changes for the second half. Celtic may not have deserved to win the game, but neither did manchester. If you dont put the ball in the back of the net, you cant feel hard done by.

What are your predictions for the big game tonight guys? It starts at 3am, but i'm certainly up for it! I think it will be a pretty cagey game, so i'm going to predict Man United 1-1 Chelsea, but obviously I hope we can cme away with all 3 points.

i aint to confident, i rekon 2-0 to chelski, only cause of their depth. Id love a draw or united win but not confident enough,this will be our toughest test, excluding arsenal, for the whole season in epl, basically the winner of this game wins the league.

Led-Zep, us United fans have every reason to be confident. Yes, Chelsea has more depth than us...but only 11 players can play on the field at any one time. We are top of the table and playing a much better brand of football than they are. The game is also being played at Old Trafford (where we won 1-0 last season)...which is another factor in our favour.

You weren't confident even against Liverpool, so I guess that's a good sign. :D

I had a good day, so I have a very good feeling that we will win tonight, 3-0 to us with Saha gettin a hat trick...!
