I'm not sure that this was quite the tie I would have liked, not this season. Some United fans have been quite bullish since the 3-0 victory on Wednesday, whilst others wanted as big a tie as possible, because who knows when we'll be back in the competition.
I can understand the latter, whilst not really agreeing with it, do we really want to see us perform as we did against Liverpool and away to Olympiakos against probably the best team in Europe. As to the former, come on, please, assuming we adopt the usual Moyes tactics of 4-4-2, I dread to think what will happen to us over the two legs. We'll never see the ball, and our dodgy backline will be fully exposed. Who starts in midfield and will he play Rooney and Van Persie again?
I've always been an optimist as far as supporting United goes, even before the Fergie glory years, but watching United play under Moyes has completely destroyed that. I still don't really think that Moyes had that much to do with the other night, so anticipating Moyes go head to head with Guardiola, I'd love to be proved wrong, but...
Music
Demdike Stare - Post collapse: A bit of departure, a bit of jazz makes its way onto the end of untitled track one, but it works, excellent stuff.
Foxygen - We are the 21st century ambassadors of peace and magic: New to these, it ticks the right boxes, experimental, if derivitave, it's full of catchy tunes.
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - Fly the customs prelude: Modern funky brass with a dash of this and a dash of that, what's not to like.
John Grant - Pale green ghosts: Another album that marks a big departure from the artists previous album. Whereas his debut solo album was full of classic soft rock influences, this seems to take a bit of influence from Iceland, where it was recorded, in such as it takes in electronic influences. It works a treat, for me, some critics seemed to be a bit underwhelmed with it, not me.
Laraaji - Celestial music: A compliation from a US contemporary and occasional collaborator of Brian Eno's. I wasn't much overstruck with the bonus disc, but the previously released disc was excellent, the last track is superb.
Lily & Madeleine - Lily & Madeleine: The alternative folk movement rolls on, I suppose they will be compared to the excellent First aid kit, another female duo, but the US act more than hold their own. Full of songs that grow after every listen, excellent debut album.
My Bloody Valentine - MBV: Finally got around to listening to last years surprise tthird album from the classic Irish band. It takes a few listens, but it's a worthy comeback, on the money.
