JackFrost Posted 7 December, 2011 Posted 7 December, 2011 Man U lose 2-1 to FC Basle and Napoli beat Villarreal to knock Man City out.
stevegrant Posted 7 December, 2011 Posted 7 December, 2011 City can rightly point to having a tough group, and they got 10 points and still missed out - I'm not sure that's ever happened before. United have absolutely no excuse, they had a ****-easy draw and should have had qualification wrapped up with games to spare, but Fergie's decision to treat the group stage like the Carling Cup by picking reserve sides for the early games, showing a complete lack of respect to the other teams in the group (fair enough, pick reserve teams when you've already qualified, but don't be so arrogant to just assume you'll still do enough), means they thoroughly deserve everything they've got tonight.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 7 December, 2011 Posted 7 December, 2011 I'll take this opportunity to state just how delighted I am to see MUFC crash out of what should have been a easy enough group. It's always a pleasure to see the mancs fail, but to see them **** it up so spectacularly at this early stage is like Christmas has come early. Even that utter barsteward Roy Keane put the boot in to them - priceless.
sfc1971 Posted 7 December, 2011 Posted 7 December, 2011 This will mean only the top three will qualify for next seasons CL, with the team finishing third having to go through the early qual stages. It`s a crap rule that they should get a go at the Europa league, IMO if you are out it should mean OUT !!!

Lets B Avenue Posted 7 December, 2011 Posted 7 December, 2011 This will mean only the top three will qualify for next seasons CL, with the team finishing third having to go through the early qual stages. It`s a crap rule that they should get a go at the Europa league, IMO if you are out it should mean OUT !!! Dont think it does. Papers earlier this week said we would stay in the top 3, who get 4 places, next season and who is to say that Ar se and Chelski wont make the final making our position stronger.
Rut Posted 7 December, 2011 Posted 7 December, 2011 Don't hate City. Great to see Man Utd not qualify. Even better to see Liverpool nowhere near it.
stevegrant Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 This will mean only the top three will qualify for next seasons CL, with the team finishing third having to go through the early qual stages. It`s a crap rule that they should get a go at the Europa league, IMO if you are out it should mean OUT !!! No it won't. It'll take a number of years of crap performances by English teams in Europe, coupled with one of the other leagues who currently get 3 CL places (most likely Italy or France) improving consistently over the same period, for England to lose a CL place. The Bundesliga has outperformed Serie A for years, and it's only this season that they've taken the 4th CL place from Serie A
Mattio Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 Ha good, manure have royally f****d up their season now!
Deano6 Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 Well at least they'll cruise into the Carling Cup semis when they play Palace...when's that on...oh! Well at least they'll be able to ease into the 4th round of the FA Cup against a lower league side when that draw's made.
SNSUN Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 Man U's new fragrance in the shops: Channel No.5. (Yes you've probably heard them all already...)
doddisalegend Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 LOL. How much money has that cost the two Manchester teams I wonder?
Window Cleaner Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 Man U lose 2-1 to FC Basle and Napoli beat Villarreal to knock Man City out. Is this not daymaking !!
Lighthouse Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 City can rightly point to having a tough group, and they got 10 points and still missed out - I'm not sure that's ever happened before. Think it happens quite a lot actually. In 2005 when Liverpool won, they had 10 points but still needed Gerrard's late goal (and associated insufferable Andy Gray commentary) to get them through on goal difference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004%E2%80%9305_UEFA_Champions_League Olympiakos went out of the competition with 10 points. So did Dynamo Kiev in Group B.
Window Cleaner Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 Apparently the French betting council are looking into the 7-1 Lyon win last night. Routine say some but a Zagreb defender gave the thumbs up and winked at the Lyon player when he scored their 5th goal. What would the odds have been on both Manchester clubs not making the knock out stages? Pretty heft but doubt if there were many bets on it.
supersonic Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 oh the irony of all my mates who are "real fans" of Liverpool laughing at the 2 manc teams failing...I said to one "even though they lost out, they're still in a competition you failed to qualify for"...to which his response was "you're so bitter and jealous towards us"....hmmm what a delude ***** he really is
doddisalegend Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 Could cost Man U 20 million being knocked out early....ouch. No wonder the top clubs have such a strangle hold on the PL with all that extra cash from the CL I bet there are some league 1 and 2 sides who could go for several years on 20 million. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16084594.stm
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 10 December, 2011 Posted 10 December, 2011 All Premier league games this weekend are going to have a minute's laughter just before kick off in honour of our dearly departed Mancs.
