    Barca are simply the best team I've ever watched play football, they just can't be doing with not having the ball and make damn sure they get it back if they ever loose it.

    Messi is also the greatest player I've ever seen, do hungry, so skilful and an amazing ability.

    We were outplayed, simples

    I went to Liverpool once and was accused of being a cockney. Despite being from the home counties. Also I dont understand why people from the south support teams from the north? You never see someone from yorkshire/lancashire supporting Chelsea? Perhaps you do? Everyone at my school used to support Liverpool's back in the 80's. It was acceptable at the time. I bet they all support Chelsea/Man U these days.

    I am still not sure how good Barcelona REALLY are if we ever get the ball of them perhaps we will find out
    Man u were absolutely played of the park by a superb team performance by barca. Man united are without doubt a superb team and probably the second best team in Europe but for the Barca team to do that to do us [again] speaks volumes about them and their skill rather than ours. There is no shame in loosing a final to that team. They look like they will write their own legends to be honest.
    Nice goal by Rooney in a big game not that it mattered in the end.
    As style in terms of watching I don’t find that pleasing tbh I would rather an EPL humdinger with pace tbh that watch the slow tippy tappy football. However you cannot deny how supremely well they do it or how effective it is- you cant beat them if you never see the ball. Even at corners they played it back into the middle of the pitch rather than actually take a corner
    Fair result overall i would say we were never really in it but we were hanging in for a while.

    sorry for calling you a cockney Elf, i DID get the first 4 letters right tho, you fake scouse prick, any better

    Nah, I think I preferred 'fat cockney four-star' tbh.

    Whassamater, someone wee'd onyour chips, sweetie? Ah, diddums!

    Dunno about the first two, but I've seen you fall off on a totally flat featureless bit of grass

    noted - the question is, why was that happening ? if you know they're going to do it, limit the option.

    I'm not sure I agree Junky, they bossed us and I can't disagree with the analysis or the result, but it was up to us to take control. We tried to do what we normally do so successfully and let them come to us, you can't do that with Messi, and you can't let the diving (there was diving) put you off the game...

    Never mind Manure Utd

    you cant play to your strengths if you dont have the ball and you cant get the ball of them. Diving was near non existent in the game and had no impact on the result.

    Lol, it's one of my favourite STW ride moments. Watching a legend fall from grace. Like Rocky vs Clubber Lang I tell ye

    Don, can only recall a couple of blatant dives, Iniesta I think. OTOH, can't believe Valencia wasn't booked earlier. I still don't really understand Messi. His reputation clearly helps in that people stand off too much. I'd just have clattered him

    whats better than seeing utd lose, is seeing them get royally dicked!!! Tremendous!!!

    I'd be pretty disappointed with that if I was a Utd fan. I think the narrative will be how untouchable Barca are and it didn't matter who and how Utd played, but they could have contested things a lot more IMO. Their midfield was toilet - Giggs and Carrick shouldn't have been there and Valencia had a bad game.

    I guess it's easy to look outclassed against Barca - for 20 mins at the start of the second half they just took over and it was men against boys.

    Don, can only recall a couple of blatant dives, Iniesta I think.

    More a question of the timing of the dives, just after the goals in a "look what we can do" kind of way.
    Man Utd played it wrong and lost, we have to regroup and improve for next year.
    If I say the ref got in the way in the build up to the first Barça goal, I think I'll get flamed, so I won't say it.

    Was that the Poddy ride, Rich? Totally flat bit, no danger whatsoever, tiny little twig -bosh. Off.

    Man united are without doubt a superb team and probably the second best team in Europe

    You're probbly not far off tbh. Mind, I think English footie is a bit stagnant at the mo really; Man U have won the league by apparently not being on top form, but certainly not with the same quality as in previous years, and other clubs have been woefully lacking. Which, considering the money being spent, is a bit rubbish.

    you fake scouse prick

    Interestingly, this comment came from a Man U fayn, and Wayne Rooney is from where?

    Dear oh dear....

    If I say the ref got in the way in the build up to the first Barça goal, I think I'll get flamed, so I won't say it.

    Praps best not mention Giggs being just a fraction offside for Rooney's goal then either, eh?

    As posted above, Valencia was way out of his depth and poor and giggs pretty much anonymous throughout the game. As a side note, I really wanted united to win purely because they were the English team against Spanish opposition. I have the joy of following derby on a regular basis but country for me will always come before club!!

    Best team won. Uefa let them...

    Ref seemed fair

    Carrick s**t again! Fergie lacking balls again...

    Next year only Barca can be 700m in debt

    Best result of all though; my new forks turned up today!

    Meant to be here yesterday but better late than never. Got a right nice little bargain too!

    Does anyone think or believe when Liverpool played in ANY European Cup finals that Manure Utd fans would be cheering for them instead of the foreign opposition? Club or country - er no, club rivalry will always exist and hence lots and lots of Man Utd haters will be smiling tonight

    Posted 12 months ago #
  21. wrightyson - Member

    Hadge, it's a fact that all pool fans would rather see the entire united team vaporised in a freak overhead napalm accident than see them win the local 5 aside cup. But me, well I don't give a fook, I'd much rather turn over another country in anything from netball to tiddlywinks rather than lose. Must be the imperialist in me!

    I'd either not watch as it'd have no interest for me or watch as a neutral, I don't understand the venom and waste of energy that the sport can produce.

    Instanbul was one of the greatest cup finals how could you not want them to win? Supporting your own club need not involve hating others but sadly it does for many.

    Hate is a strong word. Man U are undoubtedly a great team, but I enjoy slagging them off - I thought it was known as 'banter' usually.

    Still I'm not sure why we should support a team just 'cos they come from the same country. I support Arsenal in Europe because I admire the way they play(ed), I don't support Chelsea or Man U.

    Perhaps but the tribal element of footbal does not appeal to me tbh.

    Still, United went further than Real, Bayern or Inter, or even Chelsea, being second to Barca is like being second to Contador or Vettel.

    We're the second best team in the world and we let in two daft goals, and got beat properly.

    There's a lot of people commenting after the result...

    United looked crap, they had 33% possession lol
    It's because they play in a poor quality league

    Posted 12 months ago #
  32. Lifer - Member

    Was so close with my prediction, 4-1 and 75% possesion!

    Love watching Barca, a team that isn't afraid to go backwards when nothing's on.

    As style in terms of watching I don’t find that pleasing tbh I would rather an EPL humdinger with pace tbh that watch the slow tippy tappy football.

    "EPL humdinger with pace" usually means long ball yawn fest. Premier League football is dull dull dull FACT. (Repetition, fact and capitals so I'm totally right). Do people still believe it's the best league in the world?

    I usually support the team I dislike least, and Man Utd are easy to dislike - Rooney when he starts throwing his arms about like a petulant child and Ferguson is one of the most unpleasent men in football, chewing like a demented cow with a constant look as if someone shat in his vicks inhaler. Putting him next to Guardiola was just unfair.

    Great game that as a neutral. Barca were superb in the possession stakes. Good goals.

    EPL humdinger with pace" usually means long ball yawn fest.

    And yet it it is described without using any of those words. Counter attacking, end to end, lots of chances that sort of thing. In that form no one can beat Barca but it is not the most excting thing/game you will see on a football pitch that is all.
    Do people still believe it's the best league in the world?

    entertaining not best - does it not generate more sales as a product than la liga?
