:rockman: :rockman: :rockman: As Fernandez pointed out, Fortune is out so Phil will most likely fill in at left back unless Fergie puts Wes in to partner Silvestre. I won't make any predictions but United will go for it all. We've got no other choice if we're to get into the Quarterfinals. Should be a good match though. :mrpimp: :rockman: I see this one going into extra time. :S

Wes is hazardous for our defence, so maybe he should stay in the sidelines.
Ruud seems to be on form and Cristiano Ronaldo will be essential for us. If he gets the crosses to Ruud we will get the goals we need. ..hopefully the defence can take it.
Porto may well go really defensive if the match stays goalless after the first half. Then it's time to score the one goal we need. Benni can't be as destructive on the second cl game in a row and they ain't got other good strikers.

I wish the best of luck for the United to win this one. :)

I think we'll win 2-1. We played a great game last friday, Benny is absolutely on fire (score a couple more in that fixture) and we have Costinha back, which is a great addition to our midfield!
The team is really breathing confidence and don't expect us to play defense until the game's last 10 minutes. Also, we'll score at least one goal.

FORÇA PORTO!!! (H) :mrpimp:

Remember Solskjaer should be back for this game so here's how I think we should line up. We may aswell go all guns blazing, though if Scholes hangs back too much revert back to 4-4-2 with Scholes in an attacking midfield position.

Sir Alex ready for Porto test

Sir Alex Ferguson has promised Manchester United will not let their fans down at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

Van Nistelrooy scores his first against Fulham (AlexLivesey/GettyImages)

After injecting some badly-needed momentum into a season that appeared to be fading fast with an FA Cup win over Fulham, Ferguson's side must now claw back Porto's 2-1 lead to ensure their Champions League campaign does not end embarrassingly early.


With the stakes so high, one of those electricity-charged European atmospheres Old Trafford is famous for is guaranteed and Ferguson believes it will inspire his team to victory.

'Tuesday's game is massive for us,' admitted the United boss. 'It's probably the biggest match of our season. We need the crowd right behind us and we know they will be. Old Trafford is a difficult place for opposition teams to play at on big European nights.

'Our record there is outstanding and we will not let our fans down.'

After a miserable recent run, Ferguson will have been sufficiently encouraged by this performance to believe his team can continue their European adventure, even if privately he would acknowledge that avoiding Arsenal in tomorrow's FA Cup semi-final draw is a must if they are to feel confident of advancing to their first final of the Millennium Stadium era.

Gary Neville will definitely be back and Mikael Silvestre is also hoping to return and shore up a defence which for the final 15 minutes had Ryan Giggs pressed into service at left-back.

That said, United's rearguard turned it its best performance since Rio Ferdinand began his suspension in mid-January even if a couple of calamitous blunders from Roy Keane and Wes Brown paved the way for Fulham to take an unexpected lead.

Keane's ill-advised decision to try and let the ball run out for a goal kick under pressure from Brian McBride was the act of a man not entirely familiar with the basic defensive requirement to clear your lines at the first sign of danger.

Still, there would have be no problem had Brown not mis-timed his sliding interception of McBride's pass to Luis Boa Morte so badly that he failed to make any connection with the ball and instead sent the Fulham striker crashing to the ground.

In an unintentional horse-racing reference on the weekend when Ferguson accepted defeat to John Magnier in the Rock of Gibraltar row, Cottagers defender Zat Knight claimed `there would have been a steward's inquiry if the referee had not given a penalty'.

Even Ferguson accepted the spot-kick award was correct, leaving Steed Malbranque to become the first visiting player to convert a penalty in domestic combat at Old Trafford since Ruel Fox scored for Norwich back in 1993.

Along with Nicky Butt and Darren Fletcher, Ronaldo was a stand-out performer. Fulham were unable to cope with his pace and trickery down the right flank and more of the same will be required if he is to become the only Portuguese international to have something to celebrate on Tuesday evening.

'We didn't want to go stumbling into Tuesday's game,' claimed Giggs. 'We needed a solid performance and we got one. We are still in three competitions and we have the players who can win trophies.

'With Manchester City coming up on Sunday as well, this is a very important week for us and we needed to get on a winning run.

'It is good to be back in the semi-finals of the FA Cup again because it is such a fantastic tournament but now we are all fully focussed on Porto and hopefully things will go our way.'

Let me say this right now. Porto are not beating us. It might be 3-2, 2-1, 1-0, 3-0 but we are winning this. I dont think we'll keep a clean sheet, but Porto's defense wont be able to handle our attack any better than we are able to handle theirs. Even with our weakened defense, our side is pretty strong. All we need is confidence we can do pretty well. Solskjaer can come on later on in the match. :)

But will feature in the game, Carlos Alberto is our joker. The wild card that worked in Porto and maybe in Manchester who knows, I hope he can do it again.

Deco also scored finally many months later in our league so his scoring touch might also be back, tough his free kicks are far from it, but his passing and ball touches are just class.

We got 4,000 PORTISTAS at OT with a great Porto side, that will give it their all, as Costinha said this is the most important game this season for Porto, the league is already ours.

Our president just wants the 1-0, PDC says he wants this victory for us fans, more glory and also he is thinking only ManU and not next round.

'United are no Real'

Nick Bidwell

Man Utd (1) v Porto (2) -
Champions Lge R2, 2nd Leg. Tues 19.45 GMT
It was not a game that needed any hype to raise the stakes, yet Porto striker Benni McCarthy has ensured that he will be afforded a warm welcome ahead of the Champions League tie against Manchester United on Tuesday night.

'United couldn't get near us in the first leg,' says McCarthy (JamieMcDonald/GettyImages)

It was McCarthy's goals that secured Porto a shock 2-1 advantage in the first leg of a fascinating tie and while the post-match headlines were dominated by the touchline spat between United boss Alex Ferguson and his Porto counterpart Jose Mourinho, the truth was the Portuguese champions were worthy winners on the night.


Now the UEFA Cup holders are determined to finish off the job and McCarthy's suggestion that Real Madrid's glittering array of stars are the only side that send a shiver of fear down the spines of their opponents in Europe's premier competition is bound to raise a few eyebrows at Old Trafford.

'Other than Real Madrid, no team in this season's Champions League has been ahead of us technically and, obviously, I would include United in that assessment,' begins McCarthy. 'They are not up at Real's Madrid's level, that's for sure.

'Manchester United couldn't get near us in the first leg. They were not expecting us to play like that and we completely dominated them, even though they have so many great stars compared to us.

'They were very disappointing in Porto and that's why we are convinced we will be going through to the next round. No one in the media believed we had a chance before the first leg, but now they are all talking about Porto.

'This game at Old Trafford is without doubt the most important in Porto's history. We'll go there with the belief that we can win. We will not go to defend and hope for a draw. One goal may be the key to our progress and we will go for it.

'We believe we can make the quarter-finals with attacking, stylish play. In fact, some of us have talked about Porto being in the Final this season. Why not, we have to believe this? If we play as well as we did in Porto and show the same concentration, heart and courage, we'll be fine.'

McCarthy's prowess in front of goal may prove to be the key to victory for Mourinho's men and his performance against United will have silenced many doubters who have questioned the abilities of this South African international.

Often linked with a move to the Premiership, McCarthy has long been overlooked as something of an unreliable taker of clear-cut chances, but he now has the chance to prove his worth in the biggest competition of them all and he is determined to take the opportunity.

'The first-leg was very special for me,' he continues. 'The header which won the match for us gave me a lot of pleasure. It was my first headed goal of the season. On the pitch, it felt wonderful to score a goal like that, but I also got a buzz from watching the TV replays of it. It was close to perfection.


“ We want to control the tempo of the game, to pass the ball well and keep possession. English sides are very dangerous in the attacking-third. But they can't hurt you if they don't have the ball. ”
— Jose Mourinho

'I say we are confident, but there is no way we can go to Old Trafford and believe it will be easy. United could not possible play so badly again, not with all those great players.

'Also, we have a lot of injuries to attackers at the moment. With those guys in the side, we play quicker and create more chances. So it was great to show against Manchester United that we can do well without them.'

The absentees McCarthy mentions include Derlei, Cesar Peixoto and Marco Ferreira and the temptation for coach Mourinho will be to stand firm and attempt to hold a fired-up United as they look for goals, but he is not the type to employ such negative tactics.

'We aim to play our own game in Manchester,' states the ever-confident Mourinho, who was quick to condemn Ferguson after the Scot complained about Porto's play-acting in the first leg. 'Injuries mean we are short of attackers right now but our philosophy stays the same.

'We want to control the tempo of the game, to pass the ball well and keep possession. English sides are very dangerous in the attacking-third. But they can't hurt you if they don't have the ball.

'I don't want my players to become over-confident. What I want from them is a repeat of their performance in the first-leg. We're happy with all the praise we've received for the win against Manchester United, but we have to take care and ensure it counts for something now.


Strike one: McCarthy hits his equaliser in the first leg against Manchester United (MikeEgerton/Empics)


'We need to play as a team in Manchester, not to be too egotistical. We know everything about them but we'll have to see if it's enough to beat them. Anyway, there is more pressure on Manchester United than us.

'They have the club which has been built to succeed in the Champions League. We don't have such expectations. Let's say this - I don't expect it to be the same as when Porto's lost 4-0 at Old Trafford in 1997. This is a completely different Porto.'

A repeat of that rousing United win on Tuesday night would revitalise a United season that could be all but over by the time they return to Premiership action next weekend. The alternative is far too alarming for Ferguson and his team to contemplate.

THE PORTO VIEW

Costinha: 'Usually, Manchester United would be the favourites to beat us. They have a budget many times bigger than ours, but we have talent and the teamwork to surprise them. Our strength is our unity on the pitch. We'll need cool heads in Manchester but we can definitely do it.'

Jorge Costa: 'It was not at all easy in the first-leg, even though everyone said it was. We let in that early goal and made life difficult for us. Fortunately, though, we didn't lose our heads.

'We kept our calm and self-belief and deservedly won in the end. It has to be good for our morale to perform so well against a team of the calibre of Manchester United. You could sense the frustration of their players and their coach.'

Deco: 'We have a team of great players and know how to keep possession and keep the ball moving. We're very strong technically and proved it against Manchester United. It was good to have them chasing the ball all the time. That was the key to our success. We dominated and the result was a fair one.

'Now we have to repeat that performance in Manchester. One of our problems at the moment is that we don't have any attackers who like to get on the end of long balls. We have to play it short most of the time.'

Pedro Mendes: 'We knew the football we play could trouble them. We got our game plan right. We concentrated on passing to feet and did this to perfection. In the second-leg, anything is possible. We'll go to Manchester to win. We feel very confident of reaching the quarter-finals.'

Paul Ferreira: 'A 2-1 win was a good result but it could have been even better. In Porto we were in control of the game and played some very good football, but we could have made more of that domination and it will not be easy in England. We'll be playing on the ground of a great European side and we can spring a surprise.'

Oh I cant wait for tommorows game, us kicking your ass at Old Trafford and you UK fans watching us advance to final 8, good day mate! :rockman: enjoy some comments..

THE PORTO VIEW

Costinha: 'Usually, Manchester United would be the favourites to beat us. They have a budget many times bigger than ours, but we have talent and the teamwork to surprise them. Our strength is our unity on the pitch. We'll need cool heads in Manchester but we can definitely do it.'

Jorge Costa: 'It was not at all easy in the first-leg, even though everyone said it was. We let in that early goal and made life difficult for us. Fortunately, though, we didn't lose our heads.

'We kept our calm and self-belief and deservedly won in the end. It has to be good for our morale to perform so well against a team of the calibre of Manchester United. You could sense the frustration of their players and their coach.'

Deco: 'We have a team of great players and know how to keep possession and keep the ball moving. We're very strong technically and proved it against Manchester United. It was good to have them chasing the ball all the time. That was the key to our success. We dominated and the result was a fair one.

'Now we have to repeat that performance in Manchester. One of our problems at the moment is that we don't have any attackers who like to get on the end of long balls. We have to play it short most of the time.'

Pedro Mendes: 'We knew the football we play could trouble them. We got our game plan right. We concentrated on passing to feet and did this to perfection. In the second-leg, anything is possible. We'll go to Manchester to win. We feel very confident of reaching the quarter-finals.'

Paul Ferreira: 'A 2-1 win was a good result but it could have been even better. In Porto we were in control of the game and played some very good football, but we could have made more of that domination and it will not be easy in England. We'll be playing on the ground of a great European side and we can spring a surprise.'

Your a complete asshole. No wonder u aint liked here. No Tottenham aint crap we are just in a su[erb league with great teams ahead of us. Porto are only in CL because of the inferior league. Man Utd do us all a favour and beat Porto by atleast 4 goals.

Btw we aint a weak crap side IMO we are better than Porto IMO or same on the same level. Porto are by far the weakest team left in the CL along with Celta. Just because u batter (apart from Lisbon) week in week out dont mean Porto are world beaters put us in your league we would qualify for UEFA Cup and CL no problem. Yes he is interested in going to SPurs one of the richest clubs in the world and managing in the best league in the world to further his career. You just come in here and diss people, u go on like Porto are the best team in the world and have won 3 CL's in a row. You are a idiot.

Top 5 in the world? LMAO your having a laugh. I would struggle to put Porto in top 50. I wish Spurs were in a easy league with no Man Utd,Arsenal.Liverpool,Chelsea,Newcastle so we can qualify for CL easily too. Postiga? ,that waste of space is on the bench we have 2 world class fowards up front now, that piece of turd can't handle a league like ours, he should go back to Porto and score goals against teams who have part time builders and plumbers.

Spurs are a decent team and i think as good as Porto, we are just in a league where there are many world beating teams, so it's hard to get into Europe.

You are not a top 5 team end of story. Ok glory hunter say what u want about spurs,bottom line is we are in a hard league to qualify for Europe even in the FA Cup DIvision 1 and 2 teams are hard to beat, Porto are playing in a league where qualifying is far far far!! easier. You can say all the crap u wont i know Porto are nothing in my eyes and will get whooped like the crap little porpers they are.:)

To even put Porto ahead of Man Utd and Arsenal is a joke list as it is.

Im just stating facts. Celtic are consistent and in 6th place why?, because of the league they are in. Same with Porto. yes i know the Portuguese league is a decent league, but Porto would not be as dominant in our league they would probably finish 7th or 8th. yes it is a joke list to put Lazioth Celtic 6th and Porto 5th, if the league is based on consistency fair enough, nice list, but he is saying top 5 best team in the world which Porto aint and will never be.

Your saying im putting there league down what about him puttin my team down calling them crap for no reason when all i said is that SPurs have contacted the Porto manager.

We Porto in case you dident know are in the Champions League because we are on the top5 in the world for a football club, unlike your club, also we won more european titles then the team we are facing tommorow Manchester United, again comments like yours show why I do reply Nobody siad Spurs are crap upset you can you read the quote right? :rolleyes: what you think about your team is not my buisness, I just wanted to know about Postiga as he scored against Lazio and other european sides, tough at Spurs he dosent have talent passing him the ball, let alone see europe compatitions in sight.

Why I am an asshole now, why thanks, no need for a Mod here to do his job and give you a warning, as I dont wnat them too, I will take that as a compliment. :mrpimp:

he is going to be a laughing stock tommorow if and when Man Utd beat them. there now is a IF :rolleyes: so now PORTO do have hope, wow... I almost dident beleive we did after I read so many posts here, I almost doubted my team :rolleyes: we now have hope just because of you,thanks.

Tough it's not if as Man Utd and Alex will go down again to FCP, we will advance at OT, and I will be here, I would love 1,000 posts that make me laugh, to go with 500 more Alex Fergie why Keano is such a dirty player.

I also said before ManU is a great side and it will be a hard battle in the UK, but why give more respect here when some just cant stop bashing FCP or even worse taking shots at Portugal.

Well at least all today was not a waste, may the best side win and Obviously for me it's FCP I hope. It will be a great match we have 4,000 there and many around the world cheering for us, just like in Portugal.

Considering how they are doing why not, They are wayyyyyyy better than Inter and considering they pretty much dominated Real Madrid in Madrid. I think they are pretty much as good as those teams. We are talking about TEAMS here not individual players.


How could SoDragoes be a gloryhunter, portuguese people have a club from the birth, most times either benfica,porto or sporting. In my case benfica, his ,porto I bet he has liked Porto longer than you have liked Tottenham. Dont think im not a man united fan ,im just stating facts and i wouldnt want to eat my words tommorow if Man United lost.

Last time I checked my name is ORLANDO not Jose MOURINHO. :rolleyes: I have contributed to their success YES as we do give the club money witch later buys players, unlike you. See money from our support SD groups goes to FCP, many thousands a year, plus gear we buy and advertising we do for them, that is why it's we for you. :mrpimp: I always have to teach these kids something. I also have met most of the squad now and know the vice-president very well, being our families are close. But even that dosent make me a bigger fan then any other in the world, FCP is all one love be it you are from Holland,Belgium,Portugal,USA,etc. I have chated with a belgium FCP fan and couldent beleive how FCP has touched areas in that country, they follow FCP as much as us, they dont speak or language, some now try and learn, and they love our squad like all of us, no matter where you are.

It's great to see so many FCP fans around the world, it shows how Porto is growing so much, but guys like you dont know much, so your comments say pretty much all you know.

See Ojogo,Maisfutebol,FCPorto portuguese websites and also papers recognized my work and love for FCP, as I had articles there about me and my Deco-Online site.

Now I seriously got to file some paper work,but keep the insults comming,a s reply's will come be it today or tommorow, even improve the insults IMO it's getting boaring the idiot, I am sure as a Spurs fan you can do better know? :rolleyes: well you are a Spurs fan (H)

IMO u know nothing about football as for insults dont play victim now, only reason why we are having this argument is because u insulted my team. Yes go do paperwork and do us all a favour and as Vince rightly says STFU!!. I hope not all Porto fans are like u big headed glory hunters who disrespect teams that aint in Europe for no reason.

First, it`s ManU fans versus a Porto fan, and then Bayern Muenchen comes in to join the fight, and then a Tottenham fans starts fighting with a Porto fan, and then some Man U fans suddenly fight side by side with the Porto fan against the Tottenham and Bayern fan, and then if I could predict from some of the last posts there`s even possibility that Inter, Madrid, even Milan fans will come in to join the fight . . .

It`s a freakin` royal rumble here . . . :|

How could SoDragoes be a gloryhunter, portuguese people have a club from the birth, most times either benfica,porto or sporting. In my case benfica, his ,porto I bet he has liked Porto longer than you have liked Tottenham. Dont think im not a man united fan ,im just stating facts and i wouldnt want to eat my words tommorow if Man United lost.

Ok last before I leave the PC, man the president must wonder why he pays me. :rolleyes: glory hunter the best so far... Kid I was born into FCP, tough I am from Barcelos and had two family members play for Gil Vicente on in early 80's and one in the mid 90's. I was FCP since I first kicked a ball I seen FCP play with Couto-Kostodinov-Pinto-Baia-Domingos, damm I even got to see Paulo Futre play you probally were not even born, I been trough the bad times and now good times, I been at the stadium when SLB was winning titles left and right, and we were struggling, now glory hunter please, you probally never even seen Spurs play live like many here have not seen ManU or just like them because of Ronaldo-RVN or Beck before. If you needed a littel more info, well Porto sites from 1999 till now in the net, most have me involved, since I learned a few webdesign things you can say, Deco-Online created in 2001 was doen by me, a huge site that the player himself has seen and visited, is one site some might have seen, another is Nuno Capucho Fan Site another that was created by be ages ago to this great winger from FCP tough now his time and form looks done. But those are a few, also heldped in the fcporto-online website that was the first english PORTO site in the net, but I can see a morron with no research always makes dumb statements so I will let it past, and Spurs and ManU are the greatest man.

Glory Hunter don't always mean because u support a great team, that's not the case. If u support Man Utd, Porto etc...fine. But he came out with "ohh spurs are a weak team crap not a option". Disrespect like that is a glory hunter comment. dissing a team because they aint in CL.

Oh f@ck work today, keep it comming Spurs,Munich,ManU and what other fans think F.C Porto is not a top club, I can make a day of this. I am feeling sick too today, so tommorow I am off. :mrpimp: I dident even know ManU-FCP was tommorow, what a schock. :rolleyes: guess I get another sick day off, I got sick also last month before the CL game. ;)

Let me also say the best EPL club is Arsenal, no other english side has the quality they do, they are an awsome team like Real Madrid,AC Milan. They are the EPL champs because like Porto they are the best.

Second of all don't start saying i aint giving Porto respect or Portugal, you provoked me by not giving Spurs repspect u keep dodgin the fact u disrespected my team first for no reason, then play victim like im attacking Porto. No i dont think they are even in top 15 teams in the world but thats my opinion.

LMAO what drug are u on????. YOU ATTACKED SPURS FIRT U MORON!!!. No i dont think the Porto manager in a press conference said "spurs are crap". yes i did say Porto are in a easy league and thats why they are in CL and yes i dont think they are in top 15 clubs in the world maybe more. As for asking for forgiveness u tried that earlier "OHHH man u are a great team may the best team win" lol . Like i said Helder is 4th choice striker, Defoe, Kanoute and Keane (Premiership class ;)) are all ahead of him..good job we are rich.

Well he is doing ok in Germany but was he supose to be a star there, while he wasent in Portugal, the guy is like Dani never lived up to their talent, West ham fans and players remember Dani seeing he banged every players wife in that club,lol (H) you are upset about Dominguez? Then SLB should be upset at Graham Souness for Scot Minto,Thomas,Martin Pringle,etc..

kid you are helerious, now its part-time footballers,lol sorry I dont think any here are doint that at Porto be it other team, also eating teh words indeed from now top 50 not even FCP has made now your top15, great so soon after some more reply's top 5 :rolleyes: also Mourinho said he is not intrested in a weak side like Spurs,etc.. You may not like it too bad.. But I like your first word and in capitals too, nice touch but again better insults is needed. (H) so he is 4th choice good we are getting some where now but how is he doing is he over hsi injury?

He scored the winner against Liverpool got you 3 points, but that is not premiership class, ok I get it. :rolleyes:

His goal with us against Lazio in european play was class, tough he has had problems adjusting the life there I do wish him the best, as he was a great young player we had, that I still beleive left too soon, happens alot these days, oh well.

So tell me saying ManU is a good side what I have been saying since the last thread I started actually first topic I spoke about, tough tha thread is closed and also said teh same in a FCP board, how is that asking for forgiveness? :rolleyes: this I have to here, probally your best reply till now, and considering I say FCP will win as I beleive Porto is a great side, considering the world knows ManU is a great side, I mean the damm f@cking world already knows it do I need to say it more often? We Porto are also a great side and come tuesday you will find out, well not you, as you are a Spurs fan right? But you want a UK side to advance, so I see why it can only be that.

Ok first of all i dont know why u keep claiming i want forgivness because i aint i couldnt care less for u or your team, so stop saying that its gettin stupid now, i dont like u or respect u so no i dont want your forgivness. Yes out of the top 15 European teams i dont think Porto are there IMO as for going to a crap team like Spurs i know players and managers that dont want to go to Porto and have career suicide and go to a mediocre league. Porto are a decent side but that's it. You keep going on about insults (basically begging mods on the sly) but u called me a moron with no football knowledge, so u have been giving as good as your getting. I support a great little team, so what they aint in Europe we are in the best or 2nd best in some people's view league in the world, we play exciting attractive football, with cultured history and that's all that matters to me. Like u i dont give a toss about your forgivness cause i dont want it. Id rather lick dog poo lol.

Man Utd are the most famous by far, its been proven too. They are well known in Australia,Africa,Asia, USA, but Real are really famous too. With Beckham in there team there fame will grow bigger. i think Man Utd are the most famous because in them countries are league is the most watched.

Not a bad idea, even ManCity like many did, great exposure and big bucks as China has such a big fan base, great market that Porto needs to give another crack, but you need a player that can also do well, not just be there to sell shirts, we can develop them. Its a great idea as it's big bucks and FCP can surelly use that.

they better hold on the draw for the first 20 mins and they might have some chances even to win this game. not that i care about it.

It is a fact that Porto is in good form, that's why he's such a loudmouth. Can't wait to see what he says when they get booted out of OT..... start making up excuses like he said Fergie does lol!! You people are building up the platform higher and higher and higher and eventually ONE side has to fall. Personally I think FCP will fall harder because they already have 2-1 advantage (H)

sodragoes has talked a lot of trash. That i agree with, but you gotta admit he loves FCP more than me, and i really like FCP. Trust me if you were a Porto fan you all would been extremely happy by beating Man u.

Ps. Even if we do get trashed i'll still be proud of my boys, no matter what the scoreline, unlike many Man U fans that have publicly stated their embarassement and shame over their teams performance, i'll always be proud of my teams accomplishmnet.:rockman:

Sir Alex was in good spirits ahead of United's second leg Champions League clash with Porto at Old Trafford. Here's what he had to say to the English and Portuguese press....

Hard Work
Given our home record we have to be confident. But as with all European games we play here, there's a job to be done. I don't think we've ever gone into a European tie not knowing that we have to work hard and play well. And Tuesday is another game in that context. It'll be a difficult game for both sides but I would anticipate a good atmosphere which always helps us.

Tough Draw
I said before the first leg, I thought we'd got the hardest draw. The tie between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid was historically the biggest game, but I thought we had a tough draw against Porto. I thought we got off lightly in Portugal and it won't be an easy game on Tuesday. There's very little between the sides but you would have to think we'll improve dramatically from the first leg.

Importance Of Away Goal
We require a good European performance which we didn't get in Portugal. Our performance over there was nothing like the Manchester United we know. You can't eliminate any part of your team as not having a part to play and obviously defending is a major part. You have to be prepared for anything that can happen in a European game and the most important thing is we impose ourselves. By scoring the away goal in Porto we've given ourselves a certain type of advantage and I think we'll have a really good chance because of it.

Keane Absence
It seems we've been missing top players all season. You're always going to miss a player of Roy's standard and infleunce. But we've had to deal with it in the past and we'll have to deal with it again on Tuesday.

Strong Referee
I read that Porto want a good referee; they always seem to want referees to help them! But in my opinion the referee on Tuesday night (Valentin Ivanov from Russia) is experienced enough to let everyone get on with their job.

Big Test
I said last week that the next two games were the most important of the season. We coped against Fulham and did well and I think we all know that if we don't give a goal away against Porto, we'll go through.

Silvestre Fitness
We're hopeful Mikael will be okay. He trained on Monday and we'll just have to see how he is on Tuesday.

hope fergie will start ronaldo, because basicly, without him, we're just sitting back defending....with him, there'll be more chances for us to attack attack attack, which is so important for us rather than sitting back waiting porto to score.....
giggs, well, he's great in counter attacking, but we need to pressure porto all the time....so, i think, ronaldo must start in this match....

hope we'll keep the clean sheet record at home....
i'm predicting a tight 1-0 win for us.....

I had enough with some idiots here, to start they know almost absolute sh;t about football, all they know is how to type RVN RULES or Man U is the most famous club, they are the richest, well guess what come today that means f@ck all there will be 11 against 11 and one winner, witch I always said it will I beleive be FC Porto, so for thinking FCP will win, I get bashed for it, since there is a bunch of ****s here that cant take that a PORTO fan beleives in his team, well that is what we real fans do beleive in our squad till the end.

I always said win or lose you can expect me here, I dont back down to nobody, just worry about the game. The ref's usually favour sides like ManU as they want them trough, so I expect some RVN offsides to be allowed, he is indeed the offside king in europe, or is it diving king, Neville got that title against your rivals man City, pathetic. I also expect offsides against us called, when they dont exist, well it's FCP against 11 manU and a ref and 2 linesman basically in UK, what are our chances? :rolleyes: Not bad considering we have talent,hunger and pride. :mrpimp:

Enough with the trash talk, let's chit chat after the game....

You all need to improve on the insults, try harder it still has not affected me. :mrpimp: is that the best you can do? for a team schooled and taught a football lesson in Porto I expected better.

Oh best game see ManU v's Arsenal, great diving by RVN and Ronaldo, a world class diving team full of cheats that FCP has to face today, maybe your coach before speaking on Baia should look to his own side, also Uefa now are apealing their own decision on Keane one match ban looks to be 3 now.

Anyway, diving and cheating is part of the game, as well as steping over people, I don`t know why there are so much fuss about Keane-Baia incident . . . If you watch Man U - Arsenal match often, what Keane did to Baia was more like a soft pure tender loving touch compared to what he and Vieira usually do to each other . . .:| Beside, what can you expect from a club whose greatest legend broke a guy`s ribs with triple combo kick ? (H) Man Utd is all about the pain, the blood, the sweat, the ugliness and the dirty playin` and that`s what I love about my club . . . Our players can kick anyone`s ass . . . literally, even the manager does too . . . Call us bitche, unsportive dumb****s or whatever you want, we are still cooler than you . . . :p :rockman: :mrpimp:

The United boss had already reached the brink of explosion when asked whether Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo were guilty of similar offences to the ones he has accused the Porto players of.

'He has been educated properly in Manchester,' he railed in relation to Ronaldo, while at one stage he demanded to know whether a member of the Porto media corps had witnessed the infamous Arsenal game at Old Trafford earlier in season when Van Nisterlrooy was accused of diving.

Gary dived once against City. Woopee doo, anything else? Deco dived like 6 times because he was getting his arse kicked by Fortune. In the second half it was bloody obvious he was trying to get Fortune in trouble as he was already yellow carded. You ever wonder why Deco is a talented playmaker, in the Portugal international squad, but doesn't get picked up by a big boy's club? EPL = no crybabies allowed http://www.pk-hq.com/community/images/smilies/cry.gif

Porto still has a mountain to climb.. Man utd have been unbeaten at home since 2 UCL seasons which adds to the team's confidence at old trafford despite their recent bad form, and beating us at your own stadium doesnt make you world champions (thats what your making it sound like).. a 1-0 victory with one chance converted can eliminate your team on away goals.. :rolleyes:

SoDragões1893 sure is annoying and, even though I've been a FC Porto fan all my life, was born at that very same city and have lived there ever since, he does get on my nerves with that unjustified arrogance. Porto isn't generally better than ManU, everybody knows that, but we do have a good chance of overcoming the english this time around.

But the thing is that SoDragões1893 is just a fan in a forum. You can't take the part for the whole, and he doesn't speak for anyone at Porto. On the other hand, Alex Ferguson is United's manager, represents the club and its supporters, and should definitely know better. He has no class whatsoever and I didn't discover that last week. I have that opinion for years and it just gets stronger. Mind you, he's a terrific coach and I respect him for that, but he's not a great person. His accusations this week were absolutely unjustified (especially when you have Cristiano Ronaldo on your team), unfair and describe someone who isn't capable of seeing the truth, even when it's in front of his eyes. I'm talking about Keane stamping over Baía.

I respect ManU a lot, I even consider some of its supporters my friends (like monkee, for instance), and wish them well. But I can't stand their coach's arrogance.

Having said that, I hope this turns out to be a sensational game, and I just want the best team to win, and I hope that's us. Honestly, I'm super confident, but if Manchester U. deserves the win more than us, then let them have it. It's as simple as that.
Now let us sit back and enjoy the game! :mrpimp:

Aye, you`re right about Fergie there, a perfect description. He`s a terrific coach but as a person, nobody gonna really likes him (H) Like Wenger, Lippi and Capello they`re all great but one thing they have in common is that for them, their team is always right, and other team sucks . . .

As a Man U fan I must say that Fergie is one of the most evil figure in football, but then again he also one of the most successfull.

And the more I see of Porto, the more I want to take a **** on their jersey. What a pussy team, and that asshole who keeps diving should be red carded already.

Welcome to Old Trafford Porto. Get used to being tackled hard if you are going to go down so damn esaily.

Nope, but the best dive I have seen all year was him tripping over the ball.

Watching the United players crowd around C.Alberto was good to watch, intimidate the bastard. (Y)

Another 45 minutes of football to go, lets hope for the best, Porto can just get a goal easily when there is McCarthy lurking around in the box.

Very balanced match so far. I remember ManU taking 3 shots at goal during the whole half: one was goal and the other should have been, since Scholes was onside. Porto had 2 good chances in the last 15 minutes but missed both.
I think it should be a draw up until this point, but that could be my bias doing the talking. :p

I don't know what's the matter with these kids on this board, though. The ref was excellent and all the fouls he whistled so far did exist, including those on Carlos Alberto. No matter how he ended up on the floor or not, fact is they were fouls, like it or not.
Carlos Alberto faked a penalty when he should have tried to shoot, but the ref told him to get up, so I think he's been fair so far.
Also, we must realize this ref was under extreme pressure from both coaches during the past week, so that only increases my respcet for him. At least so far.

I think it's time to step it up a little bit offensively. ManU already showed they're shaky on the defence. It's clearly their weakest spot, so we MUST put the emphasis there!

My prediction: ManU - 2 x Porto - 3

FORÇAAA!!! (H)

That's because we're not gloryhunters, son. :)

Instead of being here, we're actually paying attention to every detail on the pitch. I just can't take away my eyes from the ball.

No matter the result, I'l surely come back and show support for my team. I want to see you do that, btw. Or shall I search for your replies when you lost 2 weeks ago?

Pretty scrappy, quite physical, and a marvellous goal, O'Shea was excellent.

Saha is on, van Nistelrooy upfront alone wasn't working today, there defence has been good, although they passed it back in the line of Ruud earlier, but Ruud didn't use his pace.

Did you catch the trip over the ball "foul"? He has dived a few times and got away with it, but I think the ref has been as fair as he can be. You are right about the pressure though.

That was the one they counted, the one they disallowed there was 2 defenders keeping him onsides.
