Champions league final

**Begbie** · #1 04-05-2011, 09:46 PM

Remember. The question is 'Who would you like to win?', not 'Who do you think will win?'.

Barca have been annoying me with their theatrics. Not just this year.

**ruudboy** · #2 04-05-2011, 09:52 PM

Obviously, United. While they are still excellent, Barcelona seem to be missing something of the side that won the six trophies. The theatrics are a bit much, lets hope Rooney et al, can manage to ignore it at Wembley.

would love to see barca win though they dont seem to be playing well recently,think their styled has changed slightly,trying to concentrate on closing games down rather than gung ho attitude,shame about all the diving but as ruud says they are brought up with it,think they see it as a victory against the refs, but madrids tactics recently have focused on trying to kick,niggle and annoy barca in any way possible and they can feign injury as good as anyone.lets hope for a good clean final

**glenman** · #4 04-05-2011, 10:20 PM

Neither.

Even with all the play acting , it's Barca for me they are the best team in Europe, World so they should win it. Love watching them when they play brilliant football, like they have against a lot of teams this season.

I refuse to dignify this question with an answer.

Man Utd. I will always support any British club getting to a European cup final with the exception of Newcastle or Sunderland, but then again I don't have to worry about that lol! Eindhoven 2006 ahem...

**Begbie** · #8 05-05-2011, 01:36 AM

Liverpool and Arsenal supporters going for Barca. Quelle surprise.

I honestly think that Man U will win. A lot depends on the referee. Man U get the majority of the 50-50 decisions in the UK. Barca get them in Europe. If the referee goes along the 'continental' route, Man U are fuckt but I think that Mourinho's outbursts will play in Man U's favour.

I'm going to bed. FFS. I'm standing up for Salford United.

I've been reading different European Football journos today. Most of them are saying they haven't a clue who will win it. The Spanish press believes that United are the equal of Barcelona, even if they don't play the same way. Marca reckons United are like a preying mantis, patient, resolute and concentrated, who can break and score in seconds. Whereas Barca are a possession team, also patient, can keep the ball away from you all day, and then split your defence when you start to tire. But they say United have the best defence in the competiton, a great goalie, and talismen like Rooney, Giggs, Valencia and Nani, who are as effective as their barca opposite numbers.

I agree. We all know who we want to win, but this might be the hardest final to call.

Although i dont want United to win, i think i dont want Barca to win more, plus i kinda like the team united have put together, a very hard working team. Plus even though many United fans are big headed, and i dont know any barca fans, i'd prefer to hear united fans wind me up than see the smug faces on barcelona players thinking they are better than everybody else. Plus undoubtably xavi or iniesta or someone will come out saying they are the greatest team on the planet ever... big headed knobs.

Still want neither to win, but better the devil you know.

Thanks Wakka . . . . . I think

I am gobsmacked by this it seems that non-manu are supporting the only English club in it, yet if the shoe/football boot was on the other foot I don't think it would happen. Man Utd supporters supporting Liverpool ,Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea or any other nah!

Have to admit when Liverpool were in the final against Milan on that night in wherever I was rooting for Milan up until it went 3-0 and then i immediately switched my allegiance and was jumping about like a clown when they won.

Obviously I want United to win, but removing that bias I would still like to see them win; i have never been a fan of Barcelona, and I really dislike watching them. There is no doubt they are awesome, but I don't find watching them entertaining. They are able to kill any game at any point, and the Madrid game aside, they do manage to get freekicks just by falling over when they're under pressure.

Every team are guilty of play acting and diving, but Barcelona make it so that any kind of physical presence is removed from the game.

**bill.glentoran** · #15 06-05-2011, 05:33 PM

i want to see barca winning because they are the best and like to see the best being the best ie playing the game as it should be played,not defending and then playing long ball trying to counter attack,and using any means to open to them to win the ball,so!the answer should be...play like barca,when you lose the ball work at getting it back,play controlled football,keep the ball at your feet,look up and find an available team mate,all the stuff you tell kids really but dont practise yourself

**Sharks** · #16 06-05-2011, 06:07 PM

Carlisle.

**snappie** · #17 08-05-2011, 08:50 PM

Barca all the way.

**ruudboy** · #18 08-05-2011, 09:19 PM

Snappie,

you are as boring as a dogs arse! You are a supporter of a team in the premier league. You should want a premier league representative to win the champs league. I don't care which English team reaches a european final. I will root for them. Shouting for Barcelona, reeks of bittermess and childishness. Get over the fact that Arsenal have won fuck all AGAIN!

It might be your season next time. And if it is, and you reach the euro final, I will want ye to win, so long as you are playing a non english side.

Be magnanimous in defeat and humble in victory . . . unlike your manager.

Oh go and sober up, I can chose any team I want to win.
