Manchester United 2012/2013 Uefa Champions League Thread

[Vlad the Impaler]

I opened this thread for discussions about Manchester United in Uefa Champions League.

Today we will find out our 'enemies' for this season in UCL.

What do you think?Give us your dream groups or nightmare groups...

[archwooohh]

And so group H it is.

Pot 2 coming up, hope we get Benfica

[archwooohh]

No, Benfica goes to Group G with Barca, but we get Braga!

[Zero]

That Braga match will surely be a tricky one. Arsenal got a draw there last year if my memory serves me right.

[archwooohh]

Galatasaray!

[Zero]

So Galatasaray, it is.

[Zero]

Group C the easiest so far to me.

No its Group A with QSG and some other teams.

[Zero]

I hope BvB goes to Group D.

[archwooohh]

CFR Cluj!

Well, after last year, I don't want to say this is easy...

[Vlad the Impaler]

I live near Cluj, i will go at CFR Cluj's home match to see Man United

[archwooohh]

Galatasaray don't look like a bad team at all.

Fatih Terim at the helm, decent players like Melo, Riera, Eboue... that'll really be challenging considering how we did against the likes of Otelul last time lol

[B-Mac]

Turkey is never an easy place to go, but I do see us walking the group....yes even after last years debacle....but I think this team is much stronger from the bench now, everyone is a year older and a year wiser to what it takes to win in the CL

[RED]

Braga and Glatasaray away are gonna be tough games.

[Vlad the Impaler]

I predict that we will gain 13 pts. (at least)

How many pts do you predict Man UTD will earn this year?

[Genius Scholes]

Most boring group ever. Hope we get it over with quickly so we can play the kids in the final game or two.

[Vlad the Impaler]

It may be boring, but it also may be a good training.I hope that last season was a good lesson for our players.They should pass the group stage easily.

[Zero]

I hope we breeze through the group stages and that we don't f*ck it up again. Fairly easy group on paper.

[Firenze]

Not counting anything out after last years campaign, but you have to fancy us topping the group with ease.

[jibers]

LOl. It's like you guys haven't been United fans for very long. We usually labour in the group stages. All the time. It's the way we are. We will struggle to come first, we will definately not walk the group. Even in 08 we still laboured. This confidence is embarrassing tbh

Jorge Martinez loaned to CFR Cluj.

"Juventus have allowed midfielder Jorge Martinez to join CFR Cluj on a season-long loan.

The Uruguay international has struggled to make an impact since signing for La Vecchia from Catania.

The 29-year-old agreed a four-year contract in 2010 but, after a disappointing debut season in Turin, he found himself on loan at Cesena for the 2011-12 campaign.

He will now assist the Romanian league champions in their title defense, with Cluj also facing Manchester United, Galatasaray and Braga in the group stages of the Champions League."

I don't believe.Manchester United is a world class team.Having the last year experience in Europe will motivate players to win easily.

The first game we play in UCL is home against Galatasaray.What score do you predict for this game?

Lulz. I can't believe I'm reading this.

If you wanna look at last year then look at how we went down to Europa after underwhelming performances against the so-called minnows.

I guess the proper motivation for the players should be to not drop again to Europa and get beaten by some scrub teams.

And WTF did I say? Man United won't have problems anymore because they have the last year bad experience against smaller clubs and they will be motivated to win every game.
