slowandlow Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 hope barca stuff man u but i can see man u winning 1-0
OutByEaster? Posted May 25, 2009 Moderator Posted May 25, 2009 I've a feeling that this will be the last final played in Rome for some time. It'll be interesting to see what sanctions UEFA will take after the inevitable stabbings. That's a cheery thought isn't it.
morduejamie Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I can see man utd nicking it. I don't really care who wins, probably want Barcelona to win a little bit more - if only to stop the man utd fans gloating.
theboyangel Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Two very good teams, with not much to choose between them and I think it'll be down to who's defence holds out! On the available players for wednesday I reckon ManUre's defence will cope better with Barca's attack than Barca coping with the ManUre attack. Hate to say it - but ManUre win
CastleBromVilla Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Man Utd win - Barca struggled to overcome Chelsea. Chelsea just lacked cutting edge in their semi, Man Utd are just as solid, but have the firepower to match with Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo etc.
KAZZAM Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 flip of a coin but i will say man united are a better team than barca but then so are chelski.
JoeFoSho Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Newton Heath will stuff the shit out of them and I'm glad. I'm sick to the back teeth of armchair fans at uni telling me how great Barca are and how they'd walk the PL. I **** watch them and the only reason they score so many is because no good defenders play in the SP! I predict 3-0, 2 from Rooney and one from Park.

Oh God ... :shock: Hopefully it'll be a peaceful game, although a lot of Roma fans are a bunch of clearings in the woods. I was at the Roma game in 07 and that was interesting to say the least. :cry: UEFA can't really do anything unless something takes place inside the stadium, so they'll probably end up sitting idly by ignoring it as usual. At least the next 3 venues are nice, the Bernabeú, Wembley (well ok not that nice but close), and the Aliens Arena in Munich.
Xela Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I've no thoughts one way or another...just want a good game of football. Think United are stronger.
The_Rev Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Are you going Stretford, or will you be spending most of the 90 minutes posting on an Aston Villa forum?
kurtsimonw Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 United. Both sides are great in the middle and up front, the difference is the defense. BUnited are inpenetrable at times, Barca are always likely to conceed, they also have both full-backs suspended for the final which don't help. United 2-1 Barca.
stretford420 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Are you going Stretford, or will you be spending most of the 90 minutes posting on an Aston Villa forum? No I'm not going. Unfortunately there were only 19,000 tickets and I havent done any European aways this season due to the credit crunch. I won't be on here though, I'll be paying too much attention to the match.
Jondaken Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Are you going Stretford, or will you be spending most of the 90 minutes posting on an Aston Villa forum? T'is a bitty harsh no?
villa4europe Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 i'll be sat in a pub in kidderminster surrounded by a ton of lads who've never been further than stoke in their lives, whilst i'll be sat in my retro barca shirt hopefully giving them stick iniesta is the key IMO, if he's actually fit and plays well then barca will win, if he's not then they wont
stretford420 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Are you going Stretford, or will you be spending most of the 90 minutes posting on an Aston Villa forum? T'is a bitty harsh no? He's obviously just keen to hear my views on the game. :winkold: I might come on in the early hours of Thursday if we win though.
Condimentalist Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 I'll be cheering on Barca but I'm sort of expecting United to do it.
