Champions League Final 2009: Manchester United vs Barcelona.Wed 27th May. Rome.

Unfortunately for Man Utd Barcelona are not Stoke or Hull and the winner will probably be Barcelona. That is why Man Utd finished ahead of Liverpool, because they got results against teams like these all the time. They did not fare as well against teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City ie teams with a bit of quality. They lost half the games against these team and none are as good as Barcelona in my opinion.

and Arsenal twice in the semis...

You get my drfit though, they always win against teams in the bottom half of the table but are not nearly as effective against the better teams. Everton in league and cup have got results against United as well as Villa. I do not know if United will have the quality on a big pitch in Rome in a showcase final where the ref will not let them rough up the oppositon players premier league style to get the ball off Barcelona and make chances for the second best Portuguese speaking player in Manchester or Messis understudy on the Argentine team to score. Uniteds only hope is if Rooney catches fire and scores a couple of individual efforts.

We get your drift, and you are wrong. Barcelona won a league whose second best team got utterly stuffed by the second best team in Man Utd's league. As Norf Tyrone says, WUM.

Hope UTD they get stuffed but Barcelona didn't set the world on fire against Chelsea. Is an intriguing prospect and hopefully won't be a penalty kick competition to decide it. Totally demeans a cup final win tho didn't mind when Everton beat them in FA cup semi-final and of course is great craic when England lose.
