In their final match of Group C, Manchester United failed to get the result needed in order to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Lets have some perspective
As Manchester United fans we have been very fortunate to have witnessed a plethora of success over the last twenty years. So called ‘bad nights’ have been results such as draws at home to mid-table Premier League clubs, when really they were not bad nights at all. Although we are all guilty of it we really…

One Touch Too Many
One touch too many, a phrase that sums up Spurs’ performance last night. A radically altered team seldom captured the flowing passing style that’s been a feature of our season and we couldn’t score against 10 men despite having all the possession and territory in the second half. This was like a trip back in [...]

Match Report: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 PAOK
THFC1882 presents Mike Hooley with a match report from a less than glorious night for Tottenham Hotspur: Any hopes or expectations of progression to the knockout stages of the Europa League were all but extinguished last night, with Spurs never recovering from perhaps their sloppiest start to a game since the 4-0 reverse at Fulham [...]
Greek tragedy
Spurs 1 PAOK 2
If this was a must win game, Harry should have played our strongest side. The fact he didn’t more or less tells you the importance of it. That’s been the problem from the very start. It’s not a priority. It’s an after thought. It’s somet…

England to have ONE representative in the Last 16?
Tweet Who would have thought, that after 5 rounds of games in the Champions League, only one of the four English sides would be guaranteed a place in the Last 16 of Europe’s Elite competition? Only Arsenal, the one team everyone predicted would s…

Kazan Away – Forget It
I’m pathetic at cards. I pick up the rules easily enough but then it’s pretty much all a blur. So few numbers and colours, frankly it’s not that complex, but if you waited for me to work out what to do, you’d be there all night. And people round the table, staring…Whatever the opposite of [...]

The Europa Match Preview Rubin Waiting For
In light of the unexpected and unfortunate absence of normal daddy, the kids of Lilywhite’s field trip to scary Russia this afternoon will be under the strict supervision of adoptive parents, Bond and Jordan. Or as I shall now call them, weekday daddy. One would imagine there’ll be little p*ssing about with these two in charge. [...]
