To be honest, neither can I, it still feels like a really bad nightmare brought on by a rather heavy meal yesterday.
I see the resident troll is getting a taste of his own medicine today. Ironically though, I understand your frustration too
Coming to footballing matters - people calling for Jose's head are way off the mark. I sometimes feel United and Liverpool fans are at two extremes of a spectrum at least in one sense - Liverpool fans tend to defend their players/managers/performances longer than required and United fans tend to turn on theirs too quickly.
I would agree that there is no excuse for performances like yesterday but the same team/tactics also shut down a supposedly rampant Liverpool less than a week ago. I am no Mourinho lover and pretty much hate his footballing brand, but saying that the guy has 'forgotten' how to win or 'the game has passed him' is just silly. Didn't he won 2 trophies last season and is still in the hunt for another one this year too?
I might like some banter but this is a United forum after all. If you come here posting as an oppo fan you should have the balls to appear when your team gets beaten, especially when all you do is WUM.
Amazes me that posters like Dumbstar are given a free ride for that on here.
Bayern are already through and Barca should do Chelsea without any problem today.
I keep forgetting Bayern play at 18.00 already (UTC+2). Shit kick off time.
Soo...? I enjoy a dead rubber game with many goals for us every now and then.
At least I hope for a few goals.
Besiktas have their 4 centrebacks out and will play 2 midfielders as centrebacks 
Besiktas fans whistle and shout with around 130dB. Whenever Ribery touches the ball, it's like a train sreeching to a stop.
The atmosphere in Turkey is the best I've ever seen. It's like a cauldron at their stadiums.
Thiago scores after Müller's cross.

Oh dear, Thiago goes off injured.
This guy can't catch a break.

Oh feck off.
James will come on for Thiago, and being able to say this gives me some comfort

That own goal.2-0 after own goal.
There's still time for our 12-1 record to get beat. Come on Bayern!
Aaaaawww, kitty kitty kitty!

Libertadores has dogs invading the pitch from time to time but I don't think I've ever seen a cat get on the pitch

One of not most entertaining that game. Never forget
How is that proof you're not losing it?Aaaaawww, kitty kitty kitty!

Oh, Vidal just had his Iroquois bent. There will be murder, I tell you.
Are Besiktas only playing "What is love?" when Vagner Love scores? If so that's genius.
Bayern's defending.
What is Love? as the goal music.

What a miss by Pektemec.
Rafinha should be off.
Our usual suspects let the atmosphere get to them, it seems. Ribery, Vidal, Rafinha all have looked like doing something really stupid.

Not sure I can even bring myself to watch another Champions League game this season
Two or three times Ribery has refused to pass to Rodriguez when he's been in space.
This Besiktas team is so weird. Babel, Quaresma, Vagner Love, Medel, Talisca... it's bizarre watching them play together.
Dembele starts
Come on Chelsea..
They need to sign more washed up players : Kalou, Wright Phillips, Diego Ribas..
I love it when big names like these, players past their prime or player who didn't reach their potential, end up at these Turkish teams.
It reminds me of my Championship Manager days, signing all these washed up players on free transfers for my Derby County side.
Does Dembele starting mean Barca are going 4-3-3?
3-1, Wagner after cross from Alaba.
Wagner makes it 3. Gonul left a lot of space in behind.

Vagner Sandro
Strong Barca line-up but a very weak bench, I’d prefer Demeble to come on as a sub in the 2nd half when Chelsea start leaving spaces.
only 1 change for both Barca and Chelsea. I expect Barca to win with relative ease.
