Great to be in the Final again this year. Would like to see Barca as it would be 2 great football teams and should be a great match.

where is it this year?
I reckon Barce will be there and whilst Utd can possibly stifle them, I'd still fancy them strongly.

And please God Barca make it through as they would win it, Chelsea stand no chance in the final.

If Barca make it through they will definitly have Puyol back, not sure about the extent of Marquez injury. Dont care who goes through, it a final you have to expect top notch opposition. Still think if Utd play to the top of their game they will win it, beat Barca over two legs last year and beat Chelsea ( sort of) over two games this year, although they are vastly improved under Hiddink it must be said. Heres hoping for a mass brawl and five or six red cards tomorrow night.

Wouldnt mind either of them.United capable of beating both.Just on the subject of red cards,Flecthers situation is a complete joke, the ref made a honest mistake but the fact that united cant appeal it is a joke.As is the stupid rule in the prem league were a player cant appeal a two yellow card sending off.

Hmm interesting.

Motivation can play a big role, Chelsea will have plenty.

The one consolation in United making final is that one of them will miss it through suspension and the toys will be flying out of the prams over it for a few weeks.

Hopefully, I can take further consolation when they get beat in the final. Fingers crossed.

Good lad bingo, at least you have had a successful season......

AbbeySider · May 06, 2009, 10:20:22 AM

Would you guys recommend going or are any of you thinking about it?
Id sooner go to Rome than Istanbul or Russia... but a few of the lads reckon it would be rough.

The point that was made was that Roma fans are the worst in the world and the police cant even control them.

I cant see them being organised and big enough to cause any trouble on the night?

But anyway... its a long shot but if anyone has access to tickets I would be interested in a couple!

*** praying for a PM ***

Bensars · May 06, 2009, 10:34:26 AM

I could be wrong here but was it not Roma fans that have had run ins with Utd fans over the last couple of years ?

Irrespective of Chelsea or Barca meeting Utd in the final , the likelihood is that some fan will get a doing from the natives.
