Absolutely dreadful wasn't he.

Inter are stacked these days with incredibly one-footed players, they make Chelsea look two-dimensional - Muntari, Adriano, Chivu, Maicon...

I would say the only time we never dominated would have been the 15 mins just after halftime. If we don't go through it will be our own faults as we should have scored in the first half.

Cambiasso was Inter's best player by a distance.

thought the keeper had a good game, though got lucky with the final free kick.

Spot on.

Cambiasso was outstanding from start to finish, him and Cesar were the best players last night. Cordoba certainly sured things up for them in the 2nd half. I thought Evans was superb for United too.

I can't understand how Italy won the world cup. We're told that England are garbage because not enough English players get the chance to play at the the highest level because we bring over those nasty and greedy foreigners, yet the italian champions have only one italian player? Strange.

I just don't know how that game finished 0-0. United battered them particularly in the first half. The tie should've been put to bed by now. Although, I suspect United will have no problem in the 2nd leg. I can't see Inter scoring whatsoever.

Italian clubs have excellent acadamies, this is almost universally acknowledged. Italy won the '06 world cup playing a particularly pragmatic brand of football based on a very sure-footed defence. IMO, That was Argentina's world cup to lose and they spectacularly blew it.

There's no denying that recent evidence suggests the Premiership is stronger than Serie A but the Italian national team succeeds through being greater than the sum of its parts. England in recent years have proved the opposite.

Although, ITV don't help themselves. Jon Champion correctly identified Inter as having one Italian player but then said 'and only one other European' - err, no, Jon - there's Chivu, Stankovic and Ibrahimovic - I make that three. Do your research you buffoon.

I can't understand Mourinho's preference of Adriano over Julio Cruz or Mario Balotelli. Adriano's got lucky in recent weeks but still is, IMO, fat, lazy and useless. Look at the way he scuffed a great chance last night. Julio Cruz, despite his age, is still a reliable performer and Balotelli has shown bags of potential despite his tender years.

I thought the Champions League was supposed to be the elite level of football, especially come the knockout stages, however in the Atlético v Porto game last night the home sides defending, and the visitors finishing and goalkeeping suggested anything but!

That first half was as good as Nited have played in a big time Euro away day for far too long...they imposed themselves on the opposition at long last - just a shame they didnt get the goal or two that they thoroughly deserved.

Huge game tonight Real v Liverpool two giants of european football I feel Torres may steal the show tonight back in Madrid.

A bit harsh.

Boro and West Ham?
