Man Utd suffer shock defeat

[Ulysses]

A late goal by Bela Koplarovic left Manchester United's Champions League qualifying campaign hanging in the balance as Zalaegerszeg earned a famous victory in Budapest.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men were forced to pay for a host of missed chances and for failing to raise their game sufficiently against their lesser-known Hungarian opponents.

Again, individual errors were to blame - with Phil Neville the main culprit - as substitute Koplarovic ran into the United area unmarked to apply the simplest of finishes to Tamas Szamos' low cross.

The 90th-minute goal sent Zalaegerszeg fans into raptures, while United players were left to reflect on another poor performance.

Yeeeeaaah-HEY!!!!!! It was live on BBC, best comedy in years, good ol' Phil! It's cheered up the whole of England but probably caused deep depression in China, Japan etc

Q.How many Man U fans does it take to change a light bulb?
A.None. As soon as it starts to fail they **** off to support another bulb.

They'll still get through though, the referee'll probably score a couple for them in the 2nd leg.

Oh well never mind, interesting that the united lads are still diving around like nancies to get their opponents sent off, even though they're 3-0 up!
Still, good luck to Shakhtyor & Dynamo tonight.

Dynamo are through, with Man Utd, to the Champions League proper which is 8 mini-leagues of four teams. Shakhtyor Donetsk are still playing extra-time in Belgium.
The draw is Thursday 3pm (London Time)
Awaiting them are Real Madrid, Barca, Valencia, la Coruna, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Bayern Munich, B Dortmund, B Leverkeusen, Roma, Inter, AC Milan, Juventus, Spartak Moscow, Lokomotiv Moscow, and a few others.
I think Shakhtyor's match has gone to penalties..COME O-O-O-O-N!!!

Club Brugge win 4-1 on penalties.
