Barcelona will win 3-0. There's also an almighty rainstorm at the Nou Camp.

So the 4 game seige is finally over, this is probably even better than the Liverpool v Everton triple-bill a few years ago.

 

[Springsteen]

We won't have to worry about Sky missing a goal and cutting to adverts.

I just saw a goal. What was wrong with it? The dive from the barca defender?

 

[Zorak]

I need a decent stream

Pedro scores

 

[Springsteen]

Barcelona rightfully though. Hopefully we get through to get the best game for football, as opposed to the anti football we could have seen from Madrid.

 

[Tuffdisc]

Assuming Man Utd get through, they are going to get spanked 3-0

 

[Springsteen]

We'll try and play against Barcelona, the very worst thing you can do against Barcelona is sit back. Almeria did it, they got beat 8-0. Real Sociedad did it, 5-0. Real Madrid did it, 5-0. The good thing for us is we have pace up front, Barcelona's centre halves aren't so quick.

Pfft, I don't think it is either, but I do think that they are going to get spanked big time, Man Utd will be trophyless this season, muahahahahahaha

The best man united or schalke can hope for is that barca on final day play below their ability. Because they're just much better than everyone else

i was thinking more of the nightmare of thousands of united fans coming out of birmingham along the A45 creating gridlock:willy_nilly:

That is more like it :24:

 

[Tuffdisc]

Despite the scoreline, I don't think Man Utd won't trouble Barcelona :24:

 

[Springsteen]

The speed of the forward players certainly will. Rooney, Chicha, Anderson, Nani, Valencia. You'd have to be blind not to see that those players will cause Barcelona's defence problems if given the oppotunity, and given Dani is right back in all but name, that position will be open to attack, and maybe the left with Abidal a forward thinker too. And Puyol and Pique aren't so quick. But this game will be won in the midfield in my opinion becuse that is the last line between going forward.

 

[Tuffdisc]

Man Utd have had defensive problems all season

 

[Springsteen]

Not really. Don't forget we haven't conceded a goal away this season in the Champions League this season, and only conceded 4 at home. That's seriously impressive in this competition. Earlier in the season we conceded silly goals which cost us in games (Everton, West Brom etc) but that's been cleaned up now.

 

[Tuffdisc]

We will see on the 28th May, I still believe you are going to be spanked 3-0 if not more. Man Utd have conceded too many this season, and even against a team I thought you were going to win, you lost 3-1
