Watch it online. PM if you need help/streams. The problem is I don't have a good speed. I don't know what to do about that but you could at least try. You'll get some quality streams here tomorrow. Try the "no p2p" ones.

I've missed 1 game this season (Charity Shield) and now it will be 2. I'd be up for going, but it's too much money and I'm poor from a 2 week holiday.

Reds defender Nemanja Vidic explains his personal reasons for wanting to win Friday's showpiece match against Zenit St Petersburg... The Super Cup is a big trophy to play for. It means something and it's a trophy I really want to win. People have said it's a bit like the Community Shield, a trophy we've been pleased to win in the last two seasons. The Super Cup is another important trophy that we want to win. I’ve got good memories from my time at Spartak Moscow and I’m looking forward to playing against Zenit again. They have always been a strong team but Andrei Arshavin makes a big difference to them. When I was playing in Russia I thought he was one of the best players in the country. He's quick, technically very good and can create chances for the others. I think Arshavin would like to play in another country to test himself against the best players. I would like to see him in England and I hope he comes over here. How he would respond is hard to say - I wasn't sure how I was going to respond - but I think he could do well in the Premier League. Of course, Zenit have a lot of good players throughout their team and I think it’ll be a good game on Friday. We are the Champions League winners and they are the UEFA Cup winners so it's a match between two good teams. --------------------------------------- And what was all this crap I heard about Vida wanting to move away from Manchester due to the weather? He played in Russia for fucks sake!!! Damn Journalists really must be having a shit summer, what with Ronaldo (who was definitely leaving) staying and pretty much every bullshit article they wrote turning up trumps.....

UNITED are desperate to cement their status as kings of Europe in Monaco on Friday night.
The Champions League winners also want to add the medal to their personal collections - only Edwin van der Sar in the Reds squad has the Super Cup memento on his collection having won it with Ajax in 1995 after a two-legged victory over Real Zaragoza.
Ryan Giggs missed out in 1991 when United beat Red Star Belgrade 1-0 in a one-off at Old Trafford, as he had not broken into the squad.
And Giggs plus Gary Neville, Wes Brown and Paul Scholes from United's 1999 Europe Cup winners failed to repeat that success when Lazio beat the Reds 1-0 in Monaco nine years ago.
Owen Hargreaves also failed to win it in 2001 when European Champions Bayern Munich lost to Liverpool.
But both John O'Shea and Giggs are intent on putting the record straight when the Champions League winners take on UEFA Cup winners Zenit St Petersburg.
"We want to win the Super Cup it is as simple as that," said O'Shea.
"At the end of it to be known as the best club in Europe is what we want and we will be doing our best to get it."
Giggs added: "It is the winners of the UEFA Cup against the winners of the European Cup so it is a special game.
Confidence
"The last time we played in the Super Cup we lost and it is was not very nice. Winning it gives you confidence.
"I believe this team can dominate football for the next five or ten years.
"Last season was unbelievable and the test now is to build on that starting with the Super Cup. I want that on my CV."
The England duo of Neville and Hargreaves will both be in United's line-up in Monaco.
Neither has played a competitive game this season.
Hargreaves has been trying to overcome a tendonitis problem, while Neville has missed out due to the form of Wes Brown.
Nani is also available having completed a three-match ban for his dismissal against West Ham last season.
Giggs should be fit as well after missing Monday night's win at Portsmouth with a hamstring problem.MEN

i'm looking forward to the game, mainly because we are playing opposition that are no mugs, zenit have the best of the russian national players and they signed some lad called danni for 30 million euros, it will be a good test to see how far we have come since pre season.

Backed by a squad bursting with youthful vibrancy, Gary Neville is confident United can reprise last season's Champions League glory.
No side has successfully defended the European Cup since AC Milan almost 20 years ago, but the Reds' club captain sees no reason why his side can't buck the trend.
"It’s a big challenge to win the Champions League in any season," he said. "The way the team’s set up, with the players that we have now, the way we attack is unpredictable.
"From an onlooker's position for me last season, that was the biggest change. We’ve got some players upfront who can change games and you don’t know where on the pitch they will pop up.
"We’ve got a young squad, generally, and there’s reason why we can’t go and do it again. We have to reach our standards and levels of consistency that we reached last season, and if we do that then we’ll have a great chance."
Last season's success in Moscow has brought extra games in the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, but Neville is excited, rather than wary, about the challenges that this season brings.
"This is the biggest challenge for any player at the club, and it’s one I’m looking forward to," he said. "Winning the Champions League last season means we enter competitions like this.
"It’s an exciting season for us all to look forward to. Obviously it means plenty of games, but we’ve got a big squad and we’re going to need that throughout the season with the amount of games that we’ve got."
