MAN UTD VS BARCELONA: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2011

I want Barca to win. I hate both teams, but ManUtd is one of my top 3 most hated teams.
my prediction:
Barcelona 3 - 1 Manchester Utd.

I hate this new white on black posting thing.

I think Barca will win it, probably 2 - 0. In a one off game, as long as Barca "turn up". I can't see United winning. They have just fluffed their way through the league whilst any other challengers have majorly fucked up along the way (us included, several times). They lost deservedly so in the FA Cup Semi to City. They've had an easy ride to this final. I mean Schalke? Please!

I have witnessed enough football to know that this United side is the poorest for a long long time, Fletcher, Carrick, and aging Scholes, an out of sorts Rooney, Duck Face, a 40 year old keeper. It's time for Barca to turn the screw and expose them.

Still, I could be wrong! I actually though Denilson looked a good player a year or 2 ago...

Watching both teams play this season against us, i can only see one winner.

I personally can only see Man U winning if there bloody lucky or Barc have an off day, which is very rare.

I look forward to a final that is shameful and filled with injuries, sendings off, controversy, diving, cheating, play-acting and a couple of brawls just so all the media bastards will have no choice but to drop the whole "let's kiss the ringpieces off Manure and The Whores" agenda they are on.

Mackem, I get your whole Engerlish team thing but how you can bring yourself to cheer the likes of Evra, Grannyraper, Piglips, Anderson and Nani (cheating diving cuntbags all) over the other shower of cheating diving cuntbags is beyond me.

For me it has to be a Whore win, but by a truly epic bad reffing decision that devalues their win and leaves the bitter taste of dead wino cock in the mouths of all Manure "fans" the world over.

Yes I too am fucking bitter.

To be honest, I'm of the opinion that most footballers are *word censored*, so i dont tend to let that affect my opinions too much! Nah, I go to England games so have to admit I love Rooney, I also like Giggs, Scholes, Ferdinand, Evans (who we had on loan) and Hernandez, Park seems harmless enough anarl, as does Berbatov, theres enough canny players there for me not to hate them just because of the likes of Evra and Nani. Plus Ferguson is always full of praise for SAFC, so if its them winning it or Barca who I like to watch but who are a diving bunch of twats who havent even heard of SAFC, I'd rather see United win it, especially as they are also the underdogs

I'll be honest, I dont really care either way, but i need to get pissed and "support" someone if i'm to fully enjoy me day, and I know Barcas diving will piss me off, so I'll go for United and whichever of Stevenage and Torquay seem to have the better set of fans!

As others have said too many plastic Mancs around to rub it in if they some how win.

Rooney and Ferdinand?

Ugh I hate Ferdinand. Such a manchild and tool. Ever see him in some of them cardigans, probably thinks hes a fashion icon. Utter gimp he is.

Two real giants of European football vying to win a 4th European title.While our record is a pitiful one final

This is not a good Utd team.Worse than in 2009 when they got taught a football lesson. 3-1 Barca

Irish Gooner · Post by **Irish Gooner** » Fri May 27, 2011 10:10 am

You know whats amazing.

If we had won the CL in 2006, we would have equalled the success of Barcelona in Europe ie
We would both have had 1 European Cup.

Cant believe that! And we should have won as well. They only have 3 European Cups, arent even in the top 5 most succesful European sides.

You wouldnt think that by the way the media go on.

Worst. Year. Ever. As regards major cup finals.

First up was the cloggers v moneybags now its Manure and Barca. When I finish work I think I'll go to bed and not get up 'til Monday morning

You've forgotten Mental Strength FC 1 vs Relegated Plodders 2

Is that because it was not a major final, or because it only occurred owing to "special circumstances" (i.e. everyone's new favourite Koscielny showing the reasons why at 25 his career peak was Lorient)

Heard a story that back in 2003 or 04 Arsene Wenger was walking up the steps into Highbury on a matchday when some girl shouted at him that TH14 would join Barca to win the Champions League..Wenger went back and asked her how often Barca had won the Ch.League/European Cup .She didn't know so Wenger told her they had only won it once (true at that time).She disputed this saying it wasn't possible they only won it once. In hindsight she was correct of course TH14 did join Barca and did win the Ch.League... But it does prove the point that their History isn't littered with winning the top European prize as the media would have you believe.

I always felt we lost the Champions League more in 2004 than 2006. I know we ghot to the 2006 final and can look back with many bitter regrets. But for me the team of 2004 should have won the Champions League that year. We had Chelsea on the rack at Highbury after a great away draw. The rest was history but the fucked up massivly against Monaco who in turn were destroyed by Porto. I know Porto knocked out Manure and Real on the way but I always feel that if we had got over Chelsea we would have gone on to win it that year. That team of 04 deserved more tha the unbeaten season as their place in history.

I love the way all the utd players are banging on about how theyre gonna go "all out attack" against barca, as if this is some outstanding, revolutionary new tactic

That idea actually presumes you're gonna be able to get the ball off them for any length of time. How many teams have gone out with the plan of taking the game to barca & failed? Hundreds probably.

Personally i think we dealt with them perfectly at our place; defend solidly & use the ball well when you actually get it.

I wish they could both lose really but i guess barca are just edging it for me, despite being a massive bunch of twas.

Didn't want to go there SteveO. Kos

There was a bit on The Tuesday Club where they were saying that the reason for the "mix up" was the noise. The noise! As they said, did 70,000 people shout "LEAVE IT" all at once?
