You're pandering a little too much there. You know full well that you have a chance of winning the whole thing. The final being at Wembley is key to this as it'll be like a home game if you get there.

if only the stadium was in Surrey

The Monday club are gathering tonight in the usual haunt and becoming The Tuesday club to watch pray and squirm our way through this tonight, so you'll all be without my incoherent ramblings this evening.

Lucky yous.

Your chances have just got better. Howedes is very good, especially with carrying the ball out of defence. Probably Papadopolous/Sarpei to slot back into CB.

Cheers mate, not posted much recently, busy being dragged around by the Mrs preparing for our wedding next year! She says: "You don't seem overly bothered... you're not asking many questions or getting involved much?" Just said: "Leaving it in your capable hands my dear, as long as you're happy..." Has secured me some crucial Champions League telly time this week. Would have loved to have been out there today but I 'need to think about the wedding fund'. Arse.

You should just live in sin like everyone else does.

They are well capable of getting a win away. 0-0 and the pressure is on Utd to take it to them in Manchester. Schalke just need to keep a clean sheet today , thats it. A win would be fantastic but I am sure they wouldn't mind a 0-0.

Red_Rich · « **Reply #207 on:** April 26, 2011, 05:48:37 pm »

Really wish they were up against Madrid tonight and Barca playing Schalke in the other semi. As it is ... the mancs vs Barca or Madrid over one game, at Wembley, is too close to call and therefore a very scary scenario. Bah.

David Healy... · « **Reply #208 on:** April 26, 2011, 05:50:12 pm »

Come on Schalke, if they keep a clean sheet I reckon they've got a good chance of going through. Would love Raul to score a couple

Fucking hell, can't wait to drop that one to the Mon...Tuesday club.

I was watching Real madrid tv today and they were in the studio with the presenter and 4 guests..one guy who works for marca or whatever the madrid paper is was a complete tool.they seem very confident now and consider themselves to be favourites.they think barca play nice football but are to slow(passing wise_

Laughed my balls of when one of them said that the madrid fans have allot of class and that is why they were so upset with what messi did(kicking the ball at the fans)
they think for sure they will be getting to the final

PhiLFC#1 · « **Reply #212 on:** April 26, 2011, 06:35:21 pm »

Come ed Schalke

If they don't win this by a couple of goals at least then they're going out. Hope Raul is on it tonight.

I've had some accurate predictions this week and I'm going for 2-0 Schalke.

United will batter them back at home, they just always score there .... they're going to need a few goals and a clean sheet.

If they concede an away goal it's all over.

How on earth has that squad walked the premiership and into the semi-final on the CL? I know, I know, Ferguson and they're clearly a terrific team etc but honestly man for man it's really not that special?

Ginsoak has to be in league with Satan.

DutchRed · « **Reply #218 on:** April 26, 2011, 06:56:11 pm »

I do see some parallells between our run in 2005 and Schalkes in 2011. They are utterly shite in the league, having a new manager with a load of unfancied players, but on their night they're hellishly tough to break down. Come the fuck on Schalke!

youll never walk alone it · « **Reply #219 on:** April 26, 2011, 06:57:45 pm »

dont think 0-0 is the worst result for shalke tonight, then hope for a score draw in the 2nd leg.

Well I'm either getting on Schalke to win tonight or to qualify. I fancy them to out-score Man Utd.

They do have their nights of magic, especially at home. And it are Germans whatsoever, you always gotta reckon with them in this stage of any tournament.

There is about 25 days between the semi finals and the final, I'm more worried about suspensions than injuries to be honest.

I think it's pretty much guaranteed that if it is the mancs and Barca in the final then Messi, Xavi and Iniesta will all fall and break their legs a couple of days before the game

Expected Nani to start for his versetaile, being able to switch flanks with Park, but guess Ferguson went with form. Otherwise no real surprises.

Any news on Schalke's line-up?
