These United stadium plans look impressive

They could have probably pulled it off during Fergie?s era. It looks a very tall order from where they are today.
I can see a very scaled down version making the final draft. Too many wealthy clubs competing in the league nowadays, plus a state funded neighbour continually pi55ing on their chips and watering down their fan base.

Cant see why they don't just do up Old Trafford. They don't NEED to move.

Because of Naming Rights, I suppose. And because they CAN, of course :-\

Watching Inter. Barcelona were smooth earlier. Wojciech in goal, nice to see.

They?re already carrying a billion in debt, which they?re struggling to service. The banks will probably lend the stadium costs but that won?t be cheap. Looks like they?re relying on tax payer contributions to make it happen via external infrastructure projects, aligned to the ground.

Scousers not giving them an inch in the second half. What?s needed here is a late PSG penalty.

PSG were great in the first half but from about the hour mark they've been wilting a bit and havent really carried any threat.

Given how many they are awarded, you'd think Liverpool would be better at penalties :-)

Perhaps they should consider letting Salah take them all :-)

Some of PSG's play through midfield was quite wonderful to watch - shame Vitinha is Portuguese.

I have an issue with Portuguese footballers. Horrible, cheating c@nts to a man.

Excellent left back as well.

PSG are a completely different team from the one we beat.

Radcliffe is a con man - makes Knighton look like a long-term prospect. He's turned the best cycling team in the world to ****; reneged on a deal with the All Blacks in rugby; fallen out with the greatest racing sailor of all time in his America's Cup bid. Couldn't wish for a better "owner" of Man United

It was a weird game to be fair. Liverpool were quite open in the first half, less so after that. But not convincing going forward

I really enjoyed the first half. Liverpool were well on top for most of the second and it became more one dimensional, and less interesting. Then slowly fizzled out.

PSG certainly deserved to win.over the two legs. Really good side. If they were a bit more clinical in the box they'd be a good bet to win it.

Football, in a nutshell.

Although it is perhaps a little early in the day for Roman literary allusions.

What do you do between the boxes determines how you are viewed. What do you in the boxes determines what you win.
