So then i will kick us off, what do you guys reckon to our CL draw?

I reckon we should beat porto and i remember when we played them a few years back in the QF (4-0)

Never seen Porto play. A formidable opponent?

They're a canny team. Definitely beatable for Manure though.

Porto have got some good players (Deco, Derlei, Benny McCarthy), Man Utd should beat them but they shouldn't be underestimated.

c ronaldo · 12-12-2003, 19:56

gotta agree with you there they have some good individuals and should not be under estimated but utd should really beat them

Last time Man United drew Porto in the same stage of the Champions League, was a few years back and people were getting worried about them.
United won the first leg 4-0 and David May scored - celebrating like a raving madman! And the second leg was 0-0.

I think all 3 English teams will make it to the next round.

1. Roy is 78 yards away from the referee at Old Trafford and Gary is 65 yards away. If Roy can run at 21mph and Gary can run at 16mph, who will be sticking their vein-bulging forehead into the hapless whistler's face first, assuming Roy does not stop to stamp on an opponent on his way.

2. If one minute of time is taken up in a game for substitutions and one minute for injuries, how much injury time will be added on by the referee if Man Utd are losing at home?

3. Ryan is a Welshman. Express, as a percentage, the number of internationals he has missed on a Wednesday evening compared to the miraculous recoveries he made for the following Saturday.

4. Manchester United are one of the giants of world club football. How many more European Cup Finals have they appeared in than Steaua Bucharest?
(For one extra mark; How many more than Reims?)

4a. How many more times have Manchester United won the European Cup than Nottingham Forest?

5. Phil Neville has 30 international caps. If you take away the number of appearances when he was the only adult male in England who could just about kick the ball with his left foot, how many are left?

6. You are the referee at Old Trafford. How near to a visiting defender does a tumbling Ruud van Nistelrooy have to be to earn a penalty if he goes down in the box? (Note: Round your answers down to the nearest 20
yards.)

6a. Probability. Express the statistical probability of visitors to Old Trafford
being awarded a penalty.
Compare this with the probability of opponents of Manchester United being awarded a penalty home or away, and then discuss if a penalty awarded to Manchester United would be awarded to their opponents in identical circumstances.

7. Mark "The Red" lives in Guildford. How much does it cost for him and his two sons to travel to the Theatre of Silence every other weekend, including limited edition matchday programme, a few drinks and prawn sandwiches all round? How much could he save per week if he watched his local team instead?
(Note: Round your answers down to the nearest thousand pounds).

8. Alex had a hotel room booked in Glasgow for the Champions League Final. How much money did he lose when cancelling his reservation?

9. Ruud is 6ft tall and very strong and fast. How much pressure need be applied to make him tumble over in the opponents penalty area? (Note: Answers must be in lbs per square inch. However, answers such as, 'However much pressure is applied by Ferguson to referees' are accepted.)

10. Alex has won it 1 time, Bob has won it 3. Alex has one, Bob does not. What am talking about? Explain your answer (because nobody else can).

11. Juan is a very lazy boy and often goes missing.
Alex is very cross and wants to sells him. If Juan cost £28m to buy, how much do you think Alex sold him for? How many pennies did Alex lose?

12. What is the total number of chickens counted before they were hatched by Manchester United and their supporters who thought Real Madrid were a pushover.

No, why would I?

I am not a glory supporter, I do not follow the team just because they are playing in the top league.

The daft thing about Man U is, the REAL Man U supporters are some of the best fans in the country. There away following backs this up. The glory hunters and prawn sandwich brigade really let the true Manure fans down.
