If United decides to play positive, flowing football Barcelona will play them off the park IMO. The physical & oppressive style Chelsea opted for is indeed very effective against Spanish style of play, but if United try to play the same game Barcelona plays, I see the Catalans winning it, and in style too.
Barcelona to win it for me.

Sky are saying a man utd fan has been stabbed in rome?

what, fucking what?
I think the obvious scoreline is 1-0 or perhaps 2-0 to Man Utd.
I'm 70% sure Man Utd will win the CL.
The way I see the game going is pretty much a repeat of the Chelsea Barca game.
I think Barca are over-rated and think Man Utd will be too strong for them.

2 United arrested for assaulting a passer by in Campo del Fiori too. The choice of Rome for the final is still a bizarre one.

3-2 to barca, cos Utd never look good shutting up shop
erm, haven't they just won the title by shutting up shop and nicking the odd goal?
And Van Der Sar has kept the most amount of clean sheets in the league?
And didn't they keep clean sheets in most of their CL matches???
Yep, despite all the talk of their attacking football it's Utd's ruthless grinding out of results and close victories that's won them so much.
Not much for a neutral if they play that way though. Utd need to go behind so that they'll abandon cautious Plan A for a more open game.

Fuck only knows what Italian football has to do before UEFA are ever moved to make it sort it's shit out. If it isn't the Roma Ultra's cowardly stabbing peoples arses, it's their fellow fash sympathisers in the Carabinieri cracking skulls and on the pitch match fixing doesn't even see you banned from the Champions League.
Yeah imagine if the EPL was rife with all the stuff revol's mentioned - they'd throw the whole of a branch of Waterstone's at us.

It'll be ten men tucked in behind the ball with Ronaldo given the role of stretching Barca's high defensive line. The funny thing is that when United played at the Camp Nou last year they were a bit balls (as Fergie admits himself) yet won a penalty and could have two more, with Ronaldo going through the middle on the break whilst Barca created fuck all.
Barca are over-rated.
Eto is the most over-rated player in the World - unless, there has been some strange uncanny quirk where by every match I see him play he's shit and all the matches I don't see him play he is absolutely World class!
Bookies have this match a 50-50.
I would be very surprised if Barcelona score, let alone win the game.

My mate put 70 quid on a Man U Championship and Champions League double at the start of the season. If they win he'll get 1400 quid. He must be shitting bricks.

Nah, I don't think there's any sweat tbh.
Man Utd should win. If Vidic gets sent off, then I guess your mate could headbut a brick wall - but apart from that, I think his £1400 is safe.

No sweat my arse, I'm bricking it and I got no moneys riding on it.

Fact Me Till I Fart
As long as it's a good game to watch I don't really care who wins, and hopefully they'll be no arse stabbings.
I doubt it'll be a good game.
Man Utd will be solid - Barca will be pretty but uneffective. Man Utd will nick a goal - set peice or something like that. 1-0. Maybe a breakaway goal towards the end 2-0.
That's how I see it. I could be wrong.

I shall pass on your touching concern for Italian football when I get to Rome on Thursday.
revol68
what, fucking what?
Oh come on, it does need to get it's shit in order, though that wasn't my central point, that was that UEFA are remarkably lenient on Italian clubs, their FA and their cunt police.

Calm down inch high, I agree in the main. However, as ignorant as you are of the tifo/fan/ultra scene not all Roma Ultras are fash, the boys I drink with most certainly aren't.
United kopped the unluckiest draw that night. As far as mates tell me the polis who levelled your lot are from the Florence barracks, arguably the nastiest and most politically minded-ie right/far-right-caribibieri of the lot.
Btw Carlo Giuliani was Romanisti.
revol68

I know not all Roman ultra's are facists just the same way not all Rangers fans are sectarian cunts, still n the whole they are cunts, especially with that arse stabbing thing, that's just the worst mixture of cowardice and viciousness.

Yes, with your outstanding insight into tifo/ultra culture you clearly know what you're talking about, oh wait your just a clueless fuck as usual. Those folk painting the banners are right cunts.
It's a bizarre thing. Knife fighting has long had a 'tradition' in Rome, quite why it's still there is beyond me. It is however a small minority with the 'weapon of choice' for most Roma and Italians being belts.
That I don't get either.
