Busquets charged with racism by UEFA, case to be heard on Monday. Big, big blow to Barca if found guilty.

Would it be? He's looked average anytime I've seen him. Maybe in comparison to whats around him mind!

I disagree Norf.  I think Busquets is a quality player.  He is essentially a spoiler but he's a good passer and playmaker also.

I suppose it won't alter Barca's gameplan too much if he is suspended though.  Abidal should be fit again at LB which would allow Puyol to go back into central defence.  Masch would then take the defensive midfield role that Busquets has.

Keita is another player that can come in, while been charged with racism is very serious i can't help feeling with a CL final around the corner it will nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Busquets is an absolutely hateful bollox with his theatrics. He's a top quality player though. Tackling, vision, passing are all outstanding.

If he's not found guilty, they can hardy suspend him. If he is, they will and he will be fined.

Really looking forward to Saturday now. Relaxed about the game. Utd have a chance and with the league in the bag it has been a good year anyway. ;D

Yes I'm relaxed myself as regardless of the result it has been a historic season for Man United.  EC maybe you can pop up a poll & see who the pundits here really think is going to win?

TBH, I think Man Utd have a great chance on Sat.  Already won the league for a record number of times, seen as underdogs by most, at Wembley so should have a big support, should be relaxed enough, so nothing to lose??

The key factor is going to be their ability to stop Barca dominating possession and (Utd) taking any chances that present themselves.  If MU score first, it could be interesting.  Hope that Norwegian ballix isn't the ref...and yes I am still sore!

Good Luck.

Not sure maybe you have to start a new poll thread?

Work away if you want but a waste of time I think. All ABU's will vote barca and Utd fans vote Utd! Means nothing really.

I think hope 2-1 Utd. Rooney, Hernandez and Messi to score.

Not to worry there's a poll on boards.ie so i have a fair idea, BTW Andy Gray has gone for a 3-2 United win  :-\

IMO we have the two best European clubs sides in final (not always the case with these finals) I'm not really fussed though who wins it i just hope it will be a good match to watch.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

I hear that Kevin Moran reckons United can cause problems to Barcelona's defence. How will they stop Messi though?
