2011 Champions League Final. Manchester United v Barcelona.

Which station do you guys reckon will be the best to watch this game?

I'd say ITV, IMO Clive Tyldesley is a better commentator than Martin Tyler,George Hamilton plus they have the added bonus of Roy Keane.

Kevin is only player to have an ALL Ireland and Fa Cup medal 

did socrates not do that (as well as world cup medal)

He also won Tops of the Town and came second only to Dana in the National Song contest.

He also had a good stab at the Housewife of the year, didn't win it but came home with a calor cooker for his troubles..

Socrates some fecker for attention, he always Plato da audience.

Hopefully is not a game where both teams are overly cautious and it goes to extra time, would love the game to be 4-4 maybe.

[Carmen Stateside]

Have a feeling United are going to win. Please god im wrong!

These type games rarely live up to their billing remember the World cup final last July & 7 of Barcelona's team tonight started that final.

Mods - do you think perhaps we have enough Merchandise United threads already where this shite could feel at home?

Hardy - saw this and thought of you! Enjoy. I know you will be with "us" in spirit tomorrow night!

Thanks Seanie. Sadly, I don't care any more, but now is not the time for a rant about sport vs. business. Enjoy it, all who still love it.

1-0 poor defending from United, Barca should win this 2/3-0 now

Ohh wait..1-1

[Blowitupref]

As expected barca have most of the ball but it's been a enjoyable game so far.

[Dinny Breen]

Not a bad game, really is huff and puff v possession football, Barca should be leading though and might regret those missed chances and the penalty for hand ball not been awarded plus Hernadez was marginally off-side for the Manchester goal.

[Blowitupref]

2-1 barca (Messi) was expecting a save from VDS on that one Evra poor on both goals

[Blowitupref]

Looks like Paddy power will be refunding alot of bets tonight.

[Blowitupref]

Game over!

[Dinny Breen]

Some team, some goal!!!

[Blowitupref]

What was Nani at on that goal?
