I'd rather it was 5-0, because if 1-0 there will be an interminable analysis of who didn't take what chance and therefore cost us progression to the semis.
My mate is driving up but doesn't do CL. I can't make the match, can anyone suggest what area he can go for a drink before the match please? I think that he wants an anesthetic to ease any potential pain.
I looked through the other threads but couldn't see any suggestions.

In a strange way, i'm much more relaxed about this and just looking forward to the experience. Shff Utd away, boro away, wycombe at home all had far higher expectatIons and I think we crumbled under them

I doubt we'll get many chances given how the Brighton game went. I'm assuming Utd will have 70% plus possession and we'll just be stuck in our own half.
Just like I used to say before games with the top teams in the prem, all I really ask for is some unbiased refereeing.
i.e. offsides given for both teams, no loads of injury time if the big team is losing or even drawing. Players sent off when they should be/ not sent off harshly (Van Persie/Sankofa) etc.
If it's a weakened Utd team they'll easily have enough on the bench to destroy us, just looking forward to a good drink and sing with 9k other Addicks and no expectation on the pitch to be honest.
There were also posts about the lack of organisation of coaches.
I really don't understand why you don't just all log in to https://www.blablacar.co.uk/ and organise it from there. You only pay a small commission to the website but it would save all the hassle of organisation and payment. The money is paid online and goes straight to the driver.
Some people could even hire minibuses (or even a coach!) and then tell everyone on here with a link to BlaBlaCar to make the bookings. Obviously that would cost more than simple car sharing but with the cost of the hiring divided between the passengers it would still be cost effective. There would be no risk because the hirer can ensure passenger numbers on CL before putting it on BlaBlaCar.
Ten Haag will definately shake things up but even so Utd reserves should still beat us comfortably. But should doesn’t mean they will. We have a slight chance. We have to play out of our collective skins, we need to have large slices of luck and even then we need Utd to be out of sorts. All unlikely but even so there is a chance.
I don’t think sticking in another centre half from the start is the answer. I hope we stick to 4-4-3, it’s the formation that best suits the players we have. I’m not expecting a result, but if we get one I’ll be ecstatic, I just hope the players leave everything on the pitch and make us proud.

Are we allowed the extra player as we are in Division 3?

I don’t think we will get hammered. United will likely make lots of changes and that doesn’t always end well.
Salmon got injured before the Bristol City replay in the previous round.
Rufus did not make his 1st team debut until the following season
Utd can't be as wasteful as Brighton were.
Hopefully no red cards.

Wes brown to score a flukey header after the lower league side battle well to keep them out all game.
Who was it that held them 0-0 for a replay a few years back too?
Wasn't it Exeter?
