Champions League, 7.45pm, ITV4, Free £10 bet
Sir Alex Ferguson is still haunted by his last trip to Denmark two years ago when he decided to rest a few key players and wound up losing 1-0. Seeing Bruce Rioch’s Aalborg leave Celtic with a point a fortnight ago won’t have soothed those fears, but Sir Alex needn’t worry - the handsome devils at chickendinner believe Manchester United will come out on top, with Ronaldo (who evidently has to use the toilet just like us humans) scoring the opener:
1. While Aalborg won their two home qualifiers, their league form has been dire - drawing one and losing three of their four home games.
2. Manchester United’s unbeaten run in the Champions League now stretches to fourteen games.
3. The Red Devils drew their opening qualifier with Villarreal three years ago but recovered to triumph in the second against Benfica.
4. United’s first home win of last season kicked off a run of eleven consecutive victories (excluding Carling Cup). Ferguson’s side got their first home win this season (excluding Carling Cup) against Bolton on Saturday.
5. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side won five of their six group games last year and only dropped points against the strongest team (Roma).
Why Ronaldo should be first goalscorer
» Twice since March 29, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the first goal in a game for Man United and then gone on to repeat the feat in the following two games.
» The first of these runs saw him score first against Aston Villa, Roma and Middlesbrough while the second saw him score first against West Ham, Wigan and Chelsea.
» Ronaldo has now scored first in each of his last two games - against Middlesbrough and Bolton - which means the third should be on the way tonight.

Ronaldo will score tonight because he is a diving, cheating scumbag of a footballer. He has the talent to be the best on the planet but resorts to cheating, that’s why he’ll score tonight and that’s why he’ll never get his name up there with the best of them.

I agree with Floridabhoy: C-Ron is the epithome of the hot-wag steamrolling, and his earnings are envied by everyone, including myself.
