Hey Man. You got any of those smoking Monkeys left? 'Look, he's taking another puff'Yes, yes they will
Hang on till I get my crystal Ball. ......I Don't Feckin' know but I sure as hell hope so. I could take losing a CL final to Barca but if liverpool were to lose to the Mancs no liverpool fan would ever live it down. I know the same is through in Vice-Versa but I think 90 mins of Liverpool -v-Man U would be pure and utter torture for both set's of fans if it was anyway close. obviously the Joy of Beating them would surpass anything ever experienced but i'd rather Barca in the Final. -and before anyone points out that Chelsea might have something to say- I Think not they'll bottle it against Liverpool again
so in short I'd Love Liverpool to Beat Man U in Moscow but the prospect of Man U winning it at Liverpool's expense is too much to contemplate so I'd rather Barca
Jeez, I didn't want your life story.. Yes will do
My Head hurts after all that
Sorry dude, i already passed the duchie to the left hand side.Hey Man. You got any of those smoking Monkeys left? 'Look, he's taking another puff'
Honestly though, Barca will no doubt be irked by the majority of the media tipping Ronaldo et al to be too much for them. They'll be fired up for this one and ferguson will be his own worst enemy with his ego deciding he'll have to change tactics for the game. For some reason he believes the unquestionably successful tactics he uses in the premiership won't work in Europe.....
This will be their downfall. Playing the limited Park and Rooney on the left is plain crazy. Even if Messi doesn't recover in time, the likes of Eto, Xavi, Iniesta and Henry will be too much for United. As usual, Ronaldo will bottle it on the biggest of stages.
I hope your right. My prediction
Barcelona 1-0 Man Utd
Man Utd 1-1 Barcelona (1-2) agg
For Utd I think Rooney will be the key to the tie unless Ronaldo plays a more central role. Barcelona's lack of a real defensive midfield enforcer could prove to be their undoing. I don't know how they'll cope if Rooney is dropping deep to collect the ball because they don't really seem to have someone who can protect the space in front of the defence. A lot of pundits seem to be talking about Barca's poor defence but I think it's quite good and IMO it's the midfield fails to protect it. If it's a tight two games I expect Utd to go through but if it's an open two games then I think Utd will have difficulty in stopping Barca's immense attacking talents.
My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.
If Messi doesn't get fit then unfortunatley I can't see Man U getting beat.No offence to Liverpool and Chelsea but I hope their SF produces some football thats a bit easier on the eye than their previous encounters.
Although there is alot of football still to be played this year I'm looking forward to next years champions league already.
With Juventus and Bayern on course for a return to this lucrative competition, maybe the overall standard will raise still further.
I think these two bring something extra to the competition.
It's quite possible that Milan could still charge into contention in Italy.
Club names that just role off the tongue Juve, Barcelona, Real, Liverpool, Man. Utd, Inter, Bayern, Porto, Lyon, Arsenal, Chelski, Fiorentina, Athletico and Milan.
A possible mouth watering last eight of Barca, Juve, Real, Liverpool, Bayern, Man. Utd, Milan and Arsenal.
As oppossed to what we have had this year with clubs like Shalke, Fenerbahce and Roma. I just cant wait for it. Back to the Creme de la Creme and how we have missed it.
Barca 2 vs manchester 0
I'd much rather have a team with passionate fans and who play entertaining football (Fenerbahce) than a boring team with a sterile atmosphere (Chelsea) in the CL.

Hey bud, Old Trafford aint exactly Anfield when it comes to atmosphere either. Prawn sandwich eating b...ards..
I'm not a Liverpool fan but I have to agree none of the other Premiership clubs can boast an atmosphere on European night like Anfield.The Chelsea fans booing their own team at half time in a Euro QF(which they are winning!) encapsulates the downside of modern football-spoiled brats.
For me Man U v Liverpool is the final from hell.
Barcelona have looked extremely poor as of late, very disorganised and lacked any real punch up front. United look very solid all over and look certs to go through. However, I would love it, if Barca pulled it all together and knocked them out.
I dread the thought of an all English final, whethers its Mancs V Chavs or Mancs v Mighty Reds. 2 sets of English fans in a city full of "joyous" (as we all know from our visit there) locals with a loveable police force is a recipe for a massive disaster. There will be killings, to put it mildly.
Chelsea against us will be as tight usual. We have the upper hand in these affairs as of late but Chelsea have to win sometime and the pain of the last 2 CL semi loses may give them that extra little bit. Also, playing at Anfield first is a big plus for them in my opinion.
Dream Final : Barca v Liverpool.
Lets just hope that both Manure and Barca can produce the same two games as they did in their epic encounters in '99. 12 goals over two legs wouldn't be too bad. With Barca scoring 10 of them of course

Barca 2 vs manchester 0
Cheers for that. I'd forgotten how good Yorke and Cole were together. United's second goal was pure classLets just hope that both Manure and Barca can produce the same two games as they did in their epic encounters in '99. 12 goals over two legs wouldn't be too bad. With Barca scoring 10 of them of course

Man Utd have been the best team in the competition so far, and if they keep it up they will win it. Chelsea have been very very poor so far. I think it will be a Man Utd Liverpool final with Man Utd winning.

[quote=shakermaker1982;917581]Fergie has realised he isn't a centre back (hope the Trap realises this asap) and he cannot play in MF but is content enough to bring him into the team at full back when Evra/Neville/Brown/Silvestre are under the weather.[/quote
Are you mad? He's a centre back, it's the only position he looks solid in. Ireland's last few games have also shown that.
Let's not go too far - 6 will do
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Just watching Liverpool here and they are rubbish today. What is it about Liverpool in the daylight. They seem to reserve their best performances for night time football. Are they the opposite of solar panels. Maybe its Benitez and thats why he did well in Spain were they play a huge amount of games at night there.
