Agreed.

Victor Valdes said that United are the more attacking of the two sides and have the better offence.. i disagree with that (considering Barca's front 3!) as i believe we have the better defence compared to attack, but in saying that we will see great attacking football at it's best.

I will be providing updates at the ever so crispy time of 2am
Will post the teams prior to kick off and will also post updates..

Score predictions?

I'm going with United 2-1, with Chica scoring a brace and Messi scoring for Barca

---------- Post added 29-05-2011 at 01:51 AM ----------

And we have the teams..

FC Barcelona (4-3-3)
Manager: Pep Guardiola

Valdes; Alves, Abidal, Pique, Mascherano; Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets; Pedro, Villa, Messi

Subs: Oier, Puyol, Bojan, Keita, Afellay, Adriano, Tiago.

Manchester United (4-4-2/4-4-1-1)
Manager: Sir Alex Ferguson

Van der Sar; Fabio, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Park; Rooney, Chicharito.

Subs: Kuszczak, Owen, Anderson, Smalling, Nani, Scholes, Fletcher.


Puyol makes the bench and Berbatov misses out all together..

---------- Post added 29-05-2011 at 03:36 AM ----------

And at Half-Time it is 1-1.

Pedro scored the opener and Rooney equalised soon after.. Good game, Barca have most of the play but United are hanging in there!

Just outplayed really. I don't think we played badly, we just didn't get the ball, they were that good.. Easily the best team performance i have seen in ages..

And if any of the other blokes want to jump in and make s*** of united, go ahead, but just remember that we were GOOD ENOUGH to make the final and their teams weren't

Very disappointing for Van der Sar to go out on a low like that.. The defence let him down and he couldn't do a thing to prevent any of the goals.. They were typical Barca goals which 9 times out of 10 completely eliminate the keeper from the equation..

Edwin Van der Sar 2005-2011
186 Appearances, 4 Premier Leagues, 1 League Cup, 3 Community Shields, 1 Club World Cup and the memorable night in Moscow against Chelsea after his heroics in the shoot out won the Champions League.. Some great memories for me from the Sar, and he will remain one of my favourite players ever.

Was trying to think about my best memories of him, i narrowed it down to 2..

1. Community Shield Final v Chelsea a few years back where it went to penalties, Chelsea had the run and the team to win the penalties but Van der Sar saved all 3 of Chelsea's penalties.. Winning the shoot out for United


2. The 2008 UEFA Champions League Final.. who didn't see this game? One of the better matches you'll see.. The Anelka save was awesome!

Just finished watching it. (Wasn't going to miss out on any sleep for this one) Good to see United didn't have to have a player sent off for Barca to win. Owen instead of Berbatov was a strange one. Wouldn't of made a difference though. Barcelona just too good.

Yeah - take that everyone!

In other news......

Lpool fans apparently smuggled in a 'F*** off Fergie - 5 x' banner into the Barca end at Wembley. Interesting...

In response United fans smuggled in a banner with 'MUFC 19 times' on it, but Barca fans thought that was how many touches they got.

Ryan Giggs has spent the last few months trying to remain anonymous...he finally managed it tonight!

can anyone tell me why nani was on the bench?!?
he seems pretty chilled about missing out on the final for no reason other than fergie didnt name him?
funny to read him talk about how they can beat them next year. getting a little ahead of himself there. not to mention that they didnt really prove that at all...
