Hope utd get hammered - hate them just as much as the spunks (if not more :oops: )

For the people who'd prefer an English team to win - does that go if the spunks were playing :?:

I'm really looking forward to the game... i can take the supporter hat off and just sit back and enjoy the big occasion at a great venue between two huge clubs....outside of us being there it's the final i would have wanted to see...

As for how the game is going to go...i do think it's laughable anyone from United suggesting they are going to attack Barca...i think that must be a bit of tactical misinformation, because they must realise they will have no choice but to sit tight in their own half for most of the game and hope they get good opportunities to hit Barca on the break..

You can never write fergies teams off because if anyone can get a trophy winning performance out of an inferior team he can...but, short of Barca having a man sent off before they score i can't see any way United can beat this Barca side..

Barca will press them back and pass them to death and sooner or later get the breakthrough, i think United may take one of the opportunities they will undoubtedly get but barca will win a one sided affair....by how many will depend on how early they get the breakthrough and how early Vidic or Evra get sent off for persistent fouling...i'll guess 3-1 to Barca, so 0-0 it is...

Well seeing such a load of shit in one post has really fucked me off.

I hope you choke on your smugness you self-righteous pompous sanctimonious *word censored*.

I really hope you are a WUM because you are everything I hate about Arsenal 'fans'.

We cant get an extra European spot as far as Im aware and if anything they should be taking them away.
Not now no.

That's why I said 'down the road' (a later time should the premier league continue to perform best in champions league)

Spot on there mate, all we got from Sky was ridicule. Day after final they kept showing signs that Islington Council had put up saying in the event of an Arsenal win there would be road closures due to a victory parade. they got a nice days sneering out of that.

I hear that all the time around these parts too, when it comes to the hockey playoffs. Who bloody well cares if they're from the same hemisphere, content, country or county? They're still not my team and as such, I don't give a toss if they win or not.

I like football, which is why I hate UEFA and their constant bias towards "great glorious Barcelona".

Fuck them both. Can't stand all this 'biggest clubs in the world' bollox, can't stand the sight of either team, either set of fans, that fucking trophy that quite frankly I don't believe exists but most of all I can't stand the sight of other teams being in a fucking decent final and not us.

Ha ha, calm down, you are very angry and bitter. I knew it would smoke out the ranter and ravers. Is it really impossible to just watch it as a game where you don't care about the outcome, but want to see some good football? (not that you would care about that!)
