Bugger missed two goals doing kitchen duties!
I reckon Man U will take it to Barca...especially as theyvpretty much have home advantage.
United v Chelsea now.
Nor sure what to expect... think United will easily win it. 2-0
Bugger the spellcheck on this phone...that should read Ooops
Shocking stuff from Chelsea... defense looks non-existent.
Ancelotti had Alex warming up after 2 mins to come on for Luiz... sky said he was furious.
"Sir Ryan Giggs"
You're havin a larfff.... every foul he's straight over to the official, the guy is a tw*t
Now he's trying to get Ivanovich sent off
I said last night if we started with Essien and Lampard in midfield we may as well stay at home. Essien can't pass and when Lampard isn't being anonymous he's passing the ball fekkin backward. Useless pair of divs.
Could be worse Prom, you could be a Gooner at the moment and be seething from that spineless, shite excuse for a performance that we put in today 
It was an odd one Veggie. You played like your season was already over. We're currently playing like passing is just something that happens to other people. You have to wonder how these idiots can't be up for a game of this magnitude!
Does anyone else follow 'the Real Sam' on Twitter? It's a Sam Allerdyce pisstake. He's just tweeter his sympathy to Frank Lampard cos he heard he died in the tunnel before the game.
Father had a treble Wolves 6/5, Stoke 7/2 man Utd. How we laughed!! We're not laughing now!
I 've taken United win, win/win n Rooney and Hernandez to score anytime!
Who'd be a footie fan, This is an Arsenal fan watching the 4-4 against the Toon this season

Oi Joe - tell your Da I'm not impressed!
Is this the moment for Torres? I reckon even the Mickies would hate him less if he managed to screw up the Mancs getting their 19th title

When pigs fly....
The Big Sam on Twitter
'Kudos to Lampard for playing on and scoring when he's dead. Would any of those dandy foreigners do that? Would They fcuk?
Joe, this was posted on the Beeb Live Text page - Your sort of guy? 
From Andy, Bolton, on text: "I've had 30 quid on every Premier League team to score this weekend, just need a goalfest at Old Trafford for £6,127, don't care who wins."
Webb blows the whistle for a free kick against Chelsea... was a hand ball by United, but some reason it went the other way
They're saying that Webb had already blown for a non existent foul by Alex on Vidic.
The Vidic that should have been sent off for his deliberate handball against us last week and therefore not playing today.
That Vidic 
Rejoice!
Bit closer than I would have liked though!
Ivanovic Final seconds of the game and instead of just launching it into the box... he decides to knock it back towards the half way line.
Hard luck Prom, CS, JJ, Spoonnggeeeyyy and the rest of the Chelsea massive *hugs*
Congrats muf, Darlo and other ManU fans.
*pulls top over head and runs around *
wahooooo.
Hard luck you blues.

Prom, I seem to remember that Crunchy is Spanish (or his dad is or summat) In all the years I've been posting with him his attitude to Barca has been consistent.
As it happens I think that Crunchy is probably the most balanced person on the footy forum. He analyses teams without showing favour for his own teams mostly.
So there 
I have very slight traces of Spanish (not catalonia by the way) in my family. Sometimes I used to exaggerate and say I was half spanish cos it impressed girls but really I'm no where near half spanish, like I say just a slight trace a couple of generations up from me in my family.
The reason I'm probably quite balanced and unfavourable on this forum is because I'm probably the only person whose team isn't in the Premier League, so I'm neutral in most discussions

I'd like to see him score his 'amazing' goals against 11 players when one of them has him locked up tight, ain't gonna happen the same as if Messi came to the PL he wouldn't be scoring goals for fun we have VERY tight defences. I don't count Arsenal in this as Wenger has the same 'we're not worthy' attitude towards Barca as you have.
Man U haven't, and we haven't either. They're very beatable, just don't let them dictate the run of play and they don't know what the fekk to do. Their whole game revolves around getting the ball to Messi all the time. If that doesn't happen, they don't happen. Man U can beat them if they're up for it, or fail abysmally if they're not (they were terrible v Arsenal the other day).
Bit late this I know, but firstly, I never said Pepe wasn't doing a good job on Messi. I actually said Pepe is a very good player and apart from his moment of madness he had a good game in that first leg. But the simple facts are Manchester United do not have a player as good as Pepe to do a job like that on Messi - actually they do but he is always injured and has absolutely no chance of playing in that final.
Secondly, you talk about everything going through Messi as if he is the only player in the Barcelona team capable of hurting anyone. I know he was injured for the game we're talking about but what about Andres Iniesta? He was the main difference the last time Man United and Barcelona met. I seem to remember you once saying 'Messi is the only world class player Barcelona have'. That's fine if you think that but.... HOW? The rest of their team are made up of the team who won the last World Cup together (without Messi)
Gonna take a look at this "Lord Sugar Tackles Football" on BBC2 at 9.... the tosspot has already stated we get a right good kick in on it.

Firstly: CONGRATS MAN U FANS who post on here (all the other Man U fans can sod off) you were by far the better team today and indeed over the course of the season. Title well deserved when it comes.
Crunchy you talk about Man U not having a good enough midfield to deal with Barca assuming that Man U will sit back and let Barca come at them like everyone else does. They won't. You make it sound like the whole game will be played in midfield when both Barca and Man U break so fast it often bypasses the midfield completely (in the sense there is no static midfield so your assertion that this is where the game will be won or lost doesn't make sense to me).
Iniesta is a great player but Messi is the only player they have that can change a game all by himself. They are not unbeatable. Rooney can do the same and Man U have enough really strong attacking options to beat Barca if they come at them right from the off.
I'm not saying it will be easy for Man U or even that they have a good chance of winning I'm just saying it is by no means a foregone conclusion that the cheating tossers from Barcelona are going to win. Barcelona are a brilliant passing team with every player up for the game from the word go and that in itself makes them formidable but you just know they'll spend too much time rolling around the grass clutching their faces for that to be the deciding factor in the result.
It's a difficult game to call I just think Man U have every chance winning and I really hope they do.
"The only passion they have is for their bleedin bank account"
Maybe the time has come to go back to a salary cap...that'd get Jimmy Hill spinning in his grave.
A salary cap would give me a right chuckle, alot of players would walk away in a huff because they are no longer working.
If football players got paid on performance and effort most of ours would go home with f*ck all at the end of the month.

Surely not
Seemed to me watching the game that Webb was under orders [from the FA] not to give a penalty and not to send anyone off!
Utd and Chelsea both could've had a penalty and Ivanovic should have been sent off for gross stupidity 
(the ref warned him 3 or 4 times after he booked him) thankfully he cut it out in the 2nd half
To be honest muf I couldn't believe Ivan wasn't taken off he was all over the shop and begging for a red. No arguments here really, the better team won. We need a new bloody midfield next season
