Man Utd v Barcelona: Champions League Final (with poll)

[Thaumagurist*]

Where is the don't care option?

Oh and I would like to see both Messi and Ronaldo get sent off. And Henry as well. That would be cool, but unlikely to happen, so for that reason, I'm out.

Why cant you just be a football supporter, for once in your life??? - enjoy the game without having any reason for wanting 1 side to win over the other. Just sit back, open a few cans and enjoy what should be an entertaining game

Would like United to win this as they'll only be 1 European Cup behind Liverpool then......and fingers crossed Utd win the league again to equal Liverpools league titles.

Obsessed and a massive inferiority complex-sad.

I think that sums up Reading fans pretty well.

Barcelona's suspensions and injuries should mean Man United win fairly comfortably. Shame really as a match between them with full strength teams would've been good to see.

[soggy biscuit]

Not bothered who wins just hoping for a good game. Manchester are favourites due to Barca's suspensions & injuries.

Interesting stat i've just seen.

Messi has failed to score against English opposition in 10 Champions League matches in his career while Ronaldo has failed to score in his six games against Spanish opposition.

Both to get hat tricks tonight then?

[Harry Carry]

They'll win it 4 times, they'll win it 4 times, without killing anyone, they'll win it 4 times.

English defences >>>>>>> ... >>>>> Spanish defences

And I know its a cliche, but its true.

I think Utd should win this.

I think Messi is one of the most overrated players about, but is a cracking player obviously, and I can't see them being able to create as many chances as they usually do against Utd's outstanding back four.

Saving grace for Barca is that Utd can be got at out wide and in Xavi and Innesta they have two top draw players who could win the game for them. It's such a shame that the Messi-love-in means these two don't get the praise they deserve over here, they're a real joy to watch and it'll be interesting to see what Fergie does to stop them running the game.

I'd rather a Barca win personally, but either way the media will go way over board about how great either team are and how Ronaldo or Messi are the best thing since sliced bread.

Chelsea captain John Terry on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I might flick and see the score at half-time or full-time. If I don't watch it then I'll probably bath my kids and have an early night I think."

[SLAMMED]

Apparently it would hurt him to much too watch seeing as they were knocked out by Barcelona.

Get a grip.

Manchester United fans are in Rome for the Champions League final. When English teams have visited the Italian capital in recent years there have been a string of fans stabbed in the buttocks by hooligans. But why do they target the backside?..

...What is marked about the attacks is that victims are often stabbed in the buttocks. The practice even has its own slang name in the local Roman dialect - "puncicate". But why is the backside targeted?

According to those who have researched the subject, a stab wound in the buttocks may be chosen as it is seen as not likely to be life-threatening, but is humiliating and painful for the victim.

Also you ain't gonna see who stabbed you?

Italians = shower of snide, underhand bastards.

Got the potential to be a cracker tonight. Will be supporting Barca all the way.

[SLAMMED]

Im gonna go 3-2 Man U. 2-2 after 90 mins, United to get the winner in the first half of extra time.

[FORSTERS_RIGHT_FOOT]

United to win tonight.
