I'm new in the place but it feels like home anyway because we share one thing in common: we all love Man United. Oh, so here we go. I'm a die-hard United fan but currently I'm not very happy with the manager's performance.

But of course we can talk about that and a lot more later.

Be seeing me around!

I wonder what FIFA President Mr Blatter was thinking when he started making fun of Ronaldo and said that Messi was the son every mother wanted to have???

He wanted to offend all the Portuguese nation, all Real Madrid fans, all Manchester United fans?

The draw for the Capital One Cup quarter final (5th round) took place yesterday and here are the fixtures:

Leicester vs Man City
Stoke vs Man Utd
Tottenham vs West Ham
(Sunderland or Southampton) vs Chelsea

So we are playing Stoke away!

Games will be played on the 17th and 18th of December. Exact dates, times and live feeds are yet to be confirmed.

Hey everyone, I used to be a Manchester United fan until Mourinho started training Chelsea. Since he returned I am a Chelsea fan again, even more now that Ferguson is gone and Moyes is having a hard time putting MU on top of the league.

At least you already won the Community Shield right?

As a Chelsea fan I don't know if I am welcome here, what do you say? :grin:

Why did Manchester United play their 'home leg' of the 1977-78 Cup Winners' Cup clash with Saint Etienne in Plymouth, of all places?

It was over 30 years ago that Plymouth Argyle's Home Park stadium staged one of the biggest games in its history when Manchester United played St Etienne in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

October 5th 1977 was the day when European football came to Plymouth although it wasn't Argyle in action but Manchester United and French side St Etienne who graced the Home Park turf!

So why were two top European teams playing in Plymouth?

Manchester United qualified for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup competition after winning the FA Cup the previous season. The Red Devils were drawn to play against St Etienne and travelled to France for the first-round first-leg game.

United held on for a 1-1 draw but crowd trouble disrupted the match with riot police being deployed to quell the fighting between the two sets of fans.
Dave Sexton's side were severely punished by UEFA and were briefly thrown out of competition but were then reinstated and ordered to play their 'home' leg at least 200 miles from Old Trafford.

Argyle's Home Park stadium was chosen with the match taking place on October 5th 1977 with today being the 30th anniversary of that historic match.

Striker Stuart Pearson gave United a first half lead with winger Steve Coppell adding another goal midway through the second half to ensure Manchester beat St Etienne 2-0 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate to progress into the second round.

United crashed out of the Cup Winners' Cup in the next round, losing 6-5 on aggregate over two games to FC Porto.

Will Home Park ever see another European cup tie?
