Well i was really looking forward to watching Chelsea-PSG, but I've just now realized it's only televised on BeIn. Thats really frustrating.

I was thinking the same thing. 4 channels of Benfica vs. Zenit. Nice.

I know they do a draft to pick

this week
TSN: Benfica/Zenit, Gent/Wolfsburg, Madrid/Roma
BeIn: Chelsea/PSG

next week
TSN: Arsenal/Barca, City/Kyiv, and Atleti/PSV
BeIn:Bayern/Juve

same with the Europa league

Spurs and Liverpool are both on BeIn thursday

Its a shame PSG allowed that away goal.

Stupid UEFA. They shouldn't split the rights and, more importantly, they shouldn't be granted to a channel that isn't available across the country.

There are numerous actors involved here but I think UEFA is the actor that is responsible to the fans and they should be doing their homework rather than daydreaming about the bags of money they are about to receive.

It is amazing to me that in this day and age the largest club tourney in the world isn't available on basic cable packages. Could you honestly imagine if the world cup or College Football Playoff or the Masters was only available on some crappy second rate pay channel that was $15 a month?

I was really hoping we were done with this BS when TSN got the rights from SN. Very disappointing.

Uniteds full back pairing in the EL today is Blind Love. Too bad that Young is injured - LVG could make a change at half-time and replace Blind Love with Young Love. In any case, Love has done pretty well so far. He might not be Blind, but hey - he's still young.

[Senator Clay Davis]

United about to lose, and with that you'd think Mourinho is just about in as manager. United seriously lacks talent a lot of places, but even still this is a pretty embarrassing result.

[devo22]

I can't wait for LVG to finally be sacked, but honestly, this is also pathetic from the players. They are so obviously trying to get him sacked, it's unbelievable. No heart, no fight, no emotion. Spineless idiots.

[Senator Clay Davis]

And yet Mourinho is the top choice to replace him...after having had his players quit on him and got him fired too. I think they need to go outside the box here and not just for the biggest name.

It is just the first leg and they got an away goal and they'll put these guys down at home.

They've got injuries, but who doesnt two thirds of the way into a season?

But yes, United should probably not be losing to some Danish team that no one can pronounce let alone spell.

[devo22]

no doubt ... I've always hated Mourinho and it'd be my personal horror scenario to have him at United. In any case though, he'd be pretty stupid to take the job right mid-season. They should just finish the season with Warren Joyce in charge and then evaluate in the summer.

But again, I'm just so pissed at the players for not even trying. The United fans paid £71 for this ####, I really feel for them.

Well...and they traveled to Denmark.

#mufc fans in Midtjylland chanting: 'Freezing cold on a Thursday night, and we're playing f*****g s***e, what a feeling, what a night'.

at least they can still laugh about it

he's only a 3-4 year man but he brings trophies with him

Welp. Looks like Liverpool are hoping that Kolo Toure has another 90 minutes in him.
