It's just kicked off here and we're a couple of minutes ahead on the sat link Barca is up 1 point and Rooney has been red carded
Don't believe me? Then watch! 😀
up 1 point?
is this the same sat link that reported your girlfriend & wife had met ???
Told you......
It might be true
Oh dear.
Wow big lag on the satellite link eh? 😉
Get in barca!!! 😛
Get in there ....
Sorry Grumm - it all happened so fast here 
fantastic news. I hate football
Ferguson will give'em bullocking for the next 15 mins and they'll improve (otherwise it'll be going on and on for a long time to come). 1-1 at the end of the 90 minutes and penalties to follow. Can Henry scoop it better than Terry?
Barca were completely dominating, at the end of the first half.
Spawney Manure about to be found out? Even their Aquatic expert is not getting away with his usual cheating...
Oh dear that's made a right Messi of it now........
Bugger. Beaten to it! 😀
Barca are bossing this. Can't see them losing it now, unless they **** up really badly.
AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YES!!!! 😛
Can't see them losing it now, unless they **** up really badly.
Wow amazing insight on a team that's 2-0 up 😉
Ferguson has paid the price of trying to be too clever by picking a team with players out of position for a 'flexible formation'
Manure have given nothing except huff'n'puff and are now changing players like a schoolboy with a pocket of panini cards......
At least the best football team has won tonight. Bets on mr petulant aka ronaldo being red carded.

changing players like a schoolboy with a pocket of panini cards......
I've never been one for eating on the pitch...
Now the mancs are resorting to kicking out and whinging to the ref, classy........
****, you lot would dis any other English team, regardless of your sympathies. If it was Arsenal, Chelsea or 'Pool you'd be happy if they were losing. [u]Pathetic English pseudo-patriotism.[/u]
If a Scotish/Welsh/Irish/other person hates an English club it's understandable, but the English are [b]generally [/b]a pathetic bunch who hate everybody who's good.
Barca are better today, but they have nowt to do with England. Support your country, my ar$e.
[url=
that a panini in your shorts ??[/url]
Hilldodger, how good a football manager are you? Better than Ferguson surely...
It's not an 'English thing' it's a 'Man U' thing 😆
You won't find many neutrals, regardless of their nationality, who'd back Manure over any team, let alone one as skillful and entertaining as Barca - football lesson been handed out, end of.........
HC.. No.
Liverpool? Hmm, maybe.
The others? No. I like to see them win.
Man U, their myopic manager, their glory-hunting followers and their Portugese pre-op primadonna can go swing.
Ho, blooming ho.
(EDIT.. Oh, yeah: 🙂 )
I would happily support Arsenal in Europe, but never Chelsea or the scum.
'but the English are generally a pathetic bunch who hate everybody who's good.'
Yeah cos I'm sure that, eg Barca fans would be supporting Real Madrid if they were in the final, right?
Why should I automatically support a team just because they come from the same country as me?
"Hilldodger, how good a football manager are you? Better than Ferguson surely"
Fo'sure - we're all experts here aren't we 8)
Not yet love, not yet....

Oh go on then! 😀
Sing up luv, it's all over now 😆
Which team at least got to the final? Outplayed by a class side tonight. And Utd fans still singing at the end. What did the rest of the teams achieve this season? Not much - scousers' biggest moment was stuffing Utd at OT. That's it.
Come on Everton.
Because your national team players play for it. Or because you're English?
Sod it, Barca were the better team tonight. Luckily there'll be next year.
Thread closed (too many beers opened and emptied so no comments to be taken too personally (apart from my saying the English hate their own 😉 )).
Good night.
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
'Kin 'ell...talk about men and boys there tonight.
Barca did a Liverpool on 'em (just didn't score as many)
"oldgrump" = Everton fan
Good choice of name fella
Wrong - United through and through.
"Thread closed (too many beers opened and emptied so no comments to be taken too personally (apart from my saying the English hate their own)"
well played HC, it's only a game after all - better luck next time.....
AIG = Am I Gutted 😕 😆
"United through and through."
So your posting on your mobile from Rome then ???
hilldodger - at least come up with something vaguely original(unlike Utd tonight, eh?).
After 5 minutes, Utd were never in it. Iniesta and Messi were magnificent. The best side in the competition have won it.
Who says you have to support a team from your own country? Thats just nonsense, bordering on being jingoistic!
Come on , some credit due - 9 mins 45 seconds.
"United through and (dragged) through (a hedge backwards tonight)"
Ha ha ****ing ha! Loved every second of that game. They looked like they'd only just been introduced before the game. It was probably something to do with the shirts I suppose....?
We got the result we deserved. End of.
did they wear white tonight so they could surrender easier??
IHN - well said. Night all.
If United are so shite, how would you describe your teams - [u][b]sewage[/b][/u]?
C'mon Everton, let the glory hunters know who deserves the cup!

had this perfect dream
Un sueno me envolvio
This dream was me and you
Tal vez estas aqui
I want all the world to see
Un instinto me guiaba
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
Now my dream is slowly coming true
The wind is a gentle breeze
El me hablo de ti
The bells are ringing out
El canto vuela
Thery're calling us together
Guiding us forever
Wish my dream would never go away
Barcelona!
It was the first time that we met
Barcelona!
How can I forget
The moment that you stepped into the room
You took my breath away
Barcelona!
La musica vibro
Barcelona!
Y ella nos unio
And if God is willing
We will meet again
Someday
Let the songs begin
Dejalo nacer
Let the music play
Ahhhhhh...
Make the voices sing
Nace un gran amor
Start the celebration
Ven a mi
And Cry!
Grita!
Come alive!
Vive!
And shake the foundations from the skies
Shaking all our lives
Barcelona!
Such a beautiful horizon
Barcelona!
Like a jewel in the sun
Por ti sere gaviota de tu bella mar
Barcelona!
Suenan las campanas
Barcelona!
Abre tus puertas al mundo
If God is willing
If God is willing
If God is willing
Friends until the end
Viva!
Barcelona![/url]
Abba???
Of course a real afficianado of the game would reference the Barcelona hymn rather than Freddie Mercury 🙄
Tot el camp
es un clam
som la gent Blau Grana
Tan se val d'on venim
Si del sud o del nord
ara estem d'acord
estem d'acord
una bandera ens agermana.
Blau Grana al vent
un crit valent
tenim un nom
el sap tothom
Barça!, Barça!, Baaaarça!!!!
Jugadors
Seguidors
tots unit fem força
son molts d'anys plens d'afanys
son molts gols que hem cridat
i s'ha demostrat
s'ha demostrat
que mai ningú no ens podrà tòrcer
Blau Grana al vent
un crit valent
tenim un nom
el sap tothom
Barça!, Barça!, Baaaarça!!!!
trailmonkey - now that's class 😉
Of course a real afficianado of the game
I've heard that, at Camp Nou... 😀
did they turn up? Saw Fergie grimmacing on the settee, & that was about it
Yam! Bam! mon chat Splash
Git sur mon lit a bouffe
sa langue en buvant tout mon whisky
quant a moi peu dormi, vide, brime
J'ai du dormir dans la gouttiere
Ou j'ai eu un flash *
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
En quatre couleurs *"
Allez hop! un matin
Une louloute est venue chez-moi
Poupee de cellophane, cheveux chinois
un sparadrap, une gueule de bois
a bu ma biere dans un grand verre en caoutchouc
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Comme un indien dans son igloo
Ca plane pour moi ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ca plane pour moi
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Ca plane pour moi
Allez hop! la nana quel panard!
Quelle vibration!
de s'envoyer sur le paillasson
Limee, ruinee, videe, comblee
You are the King of the divan!
Qu'elle me dit en passant
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
I am the King of the divan
Ca plane pour moi ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ca plane pour moi
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!

"If United are so shite, how would you describe your teams - sewage?"
Armchair manure gloryhunter in bitter outburst shocker, careful mate you'll choke on that prawn sandwich 😆
messi, cant wait to see him in a city top next year, made the rags look like a Blue square league team..........
For Sale - 100,000 Champions of Europe T shirts. Red in colour, strange devil logo on front. Open to offers 😆
hilldodger - what I don't understand is why you bother with such trite cr*p. It's been heard before, was only any good coming out of Keane's mouth. Why not show your true class and come up with something really cutting and original?
A bit odd I admit, but I'm just feeling mellow now....
messi, cant wait to see him in a city top next year
Nice to see that there's an heir to the throne of grand delusion now that Newcastle have gone 😉
"Why not show your true class and come up with something really cutting and original?"
Who needs cutting & original when you can hook as many fish with the old bait 😆
Remind me - which team do you follow, support, whatever??
"Remind me - which team do you follow, support, whatever??"
Just some small time local club who fought their way up from 2nd lowest in all the 4 divisions to eat crumbs from the big boys table for a few years before probably sinking back down to mid division obscurity...
....oh yeah, and the last team to give ManU a 2-0 beating
Havent seen a performance like that from a guy called Lionel since the Commodores! 2-0 EASY pmsl
Fulham.
Manchester United FAIL

Having a scouser on your team.......priceless!
Is it just me - but it isnt that Barca werent that great tonight but that Man Utd were that bad? The media seem to think that its all about how great Barca were..
Ah, come on, Scummers! it's only a bit of footie banter! Earlier, we had people talking about how Manure could go on and dominate Yerp, like Liverpool did, how they are one of the 'best teams in the World', and Fergie banging on about being the first club to retain the CL.
So, pride cometh before a fall...
Suck it up. You know there are millions of footie fans throughout the land, who love to see such a big club fail. I remember the stick Liverpool got, after the 2007 final, mainly from Manure and Cheatski fans.
Man U won the league 'cos Liverpool failed to win games they only drew, rather than being utterly dominant throughout the entire season (as they have been in the past). S'been a good, close fought campaign. Man U have been the best team in England, over the last two decades. So, stop yer whinging, dry yer eyes, and thank God yer not Newcastle fans... 😉
Dunno about good/bad ratios - but they looked pretty good to me.
Rudeboy making sense shocker???? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
If only he'd drop some of those annoying/childish phrases of his that post would be almost worth reading.. 🙄 Almost 😉
(as they have been in the past).so when was that then????
To summarize bit of shit game got undone by a couple of world class midfielders, and congrats to henry a deserved champs league medal.
I can't believe fergie sent them out that way playing long ball, is not a united tradition, we can do it but if we planned it berba would have started. United just freaked after the goal which is rarely seen. Still better performance than against fulham.
The champs league is a strange cup you sometimes need your nemesis to be knocked out by there nemesis then you can beat them.
I'm sure the "best player in the world" medal will be hung round messi neck, but next year it will adorn ronaldo . . or kaka . . . or torres . . . or gerrard or or or. In much the same way as best, zidane and maldini are as good as pele or maradona but this is somehow never aloud to be spoke about.
I'm surprised messi can jump so high his doctors said he wouldn't grow taller than four and a half foot oh how he has proved them wrong.
The people who hate united are the same people who hate steve peat and the athertons.
manchester united will be back and learn from this just as they did against against milan.
also some lad got stabbed in rome over a game . . . yes a game just like golf or tennis or cycling.
Congratulations barcelona on your treble, you even beat real to it.
world cup qualifiers to come 😡
The people who hate united are the same people who hate steve peat and the athertons.
????????
Didn't think either team really excelled tbh - suppose Barcelona did quite well at stopping United playing their normal game but they were hardly inspirational.
How did Messi manage to score that header? Hes only 5ft 7in?! Some v poor defending from Man Utd for both goals really - I think thats what undid them more than anything else.
Didn't think either team excelled?
FFS, Barca make no secret of how they're going to play every game. So those five minute spells when they just moved the ball between each other in close contact without a Utd player even getting a sniff of it? That's not excelling? If that's not excelling then Utd must be nowhere near as good as they've been telling us.
I think thats what undid them more than anything else
Granted RePack, the defending wasn't great by Vidic for the first and Franz could have been better positioned for the second...but the undoing of Utd was in not letting them have to ball for most of the game. It unsettled them so much. FFS, they were trying route-one with about twenty minutes to go they were so befuddled.
They both had purple patches yes but I think as good as Barca were - Man Utd were as bad. So many passes gone a stray, so few passes made, attackers given too much space, so few decent attacking moves..From a team (Man Utd) with great attacking ability they created v little. As for Barca, well they made the most of very slack defending but I didnt see the total football that Barca are capable of delivering.
Yeah good point Deadly - a lot more route 1 from Man Utd than I expected.
United fan here.
Well, that was a disappointment. Best two teams in Europe? A classic final? Biggest game for neutrals for years?
Nah, average performance by Barcelona, poor performance by United.
Lets see what happens now...
FFS, Barca make no secret of how they're going to play every game. So those five minute spells when they just moved the ball between each other in close contact without a Utd player even getting a sniff of it? That's not excelling?
No keeping the ball for a bit is not excelling, sorry. They were just not enthralling to watch at all - for all their possession they didn't create that many decent chances.
