Default united vs barca 29/4/08

please discuss.

i personally think it will go one of two ways...

1. the defeat to chelsea on sat will be on the players minds and harm our free flowing football against a fellow european powerhouse.

2. the defeat and recent bad performances (boro, blackburn, chelsea, barca) away from o.t. will spur us on and give barca a battering, a la roma least season.

discuss.

1-1 draw. Barca at us for most of the game and our players in all the wrong positions. United to get a late goal a few minutes from the ned when the pressure eases and they realise they're going out.

Riiiiight, one of only 2 unbeaten teams left in European competition - you can guess the other one.

Barca have been the best team in Europe this year. United have been the 2nd best.

United to go out on away goals. 2-2

I have had a strange punt tonight

Tevez 1st goal scorer
United 3-1
Barca 2-1



No idea what's going to happen, we'll miss Rooney big time

As a neutral i will be looking for Liverpool to get through as we want the biggest final possible. Engurlands 2 biggest clubs and most bitter rivals in the biggest game sounds good to me.

Does Moscow need restructuring?

Ash is right in a way. It was a very Liverpool like performance over the two games. Thought Rio and Brown were immense tonight and Carrick, Ronaldo and Tevez deserve high praise for the jobs they did for the team.

Liverpool in the final please.

Tev finally met your high standards ?

He was immense last night if only the midfielders behind him followed suit and stopped defending so deep for most of the match we would have won by more, agreed Rio and Wes were excellent, Brown looks far more comfortable playing in his real natural role of centre half.

Chelsea in the final please, purely because the dippers are due a win against us. Messi was spell binding again.

Maybe the equivalent in league position (they wish ), but not in style when have Liverpool ever played football like that not in this dimension.

I wasnt really going in that direction. Merely highlighting that their so called "worst football" in 10 yrs has got them to the same point as the mighty Liverpool

I thought that right after the game last night. It was just like them, outclassed for periods and defending in numbers but more incisive when it mattered.

I've said this before that we have been involved in some of the best football games of all time in all competitions, the EPL, UEFA cup, CL, FA cup. You can call them what you like, but for neutrals some of the best football you would see.

Liverpool in the final would be my choice. They're a good team but I feel Chelsea pose a bigger threat as shown by the league. A booking for Gerrard tonight would be nice.

Yeah Chelsea are the only team in it left that I feel would have a chance of beating United now.

Personally thought it was well worth a watch, as a United fan I could see why you'd find it unentertaining but as a Nuetral it was great watching the style, flair, passing etc from both teams too. Messi is awesome to watch, Id love to see him in the Prem.

Well done to United, Chelsea tonight to hold out a 1-0 win.
