FC Barcelona v Man United

1645: We're getting perilously close now. In three hours time in the Stadio Olimpico, Barcelona and Manchester United will get under way perhaps the most eagerly-anticipated club football match in history. They are the only two teams in the world who can live up to the billing.

Do you have a stream for this?

I've Sky+ed Monday's Ashes to Ashes but that's only an hour long.

Unfortunately not, i'll have a word at the front desk though see if we can sort out some kind of web cam action for future games.

[Liverpool lad]

My view on tonights proceedings are that without Fletcher and Hargreaves, Manchester United lack the ability to get stuck in as the midfield will contain Anderson, Giggs, Carrick or Scholes. This will hinder the ability of Rooney, Tevez or Park to get forward as they will be asked to track back which in turn will isolate Ronaldo and Berbatov. I don't think United will get the protection of the back four from the midfield. Chelsea nearly did it using Essien.

 

Barcelona are superb at keeping the ball and will pass it about well, this will see United camped in their own half. As others have said, the right back and Vidic are key for Barcelona and they must look to get in through them.

 

As others have said, the 'first goal is crucial', this is a phrase that has been laboured in football, but it is much more important tonight.

 

I predict 2-1 to Barcelona with them scoring 2, then United getting something from a freekick.

Their football writers really do get carried away sometimes.

[Joe Le Taxi]

I think we should all type in Spanish incase any Mancs come here on the windup.

[RobbieOR]

The way i'm looking at it is United will portrayed as the best team whatever happens.

 

Also I was walking home today and i know this United fan. And he stuck his four fingers up to me. If that is not tempting fate i dont know what is. It won't come back to bite them it never does.

Messi destruirá unido esta noche y tres objetivos de puntuación y, a continuación, Tevez obtendrá 3 tomar el juego a las sanciones y Tevez se perderá su efecto sobre la pena y ponen de manifiesto una parte superior debajo de liverpool.

Barca could be the only team this season barring ourselves and Porto (in the old toilet match anyway.) who haven't completely shat themselves and withered infront of them. If they go at them they might be able to smash them up, and if they do that Guardiola and his team should go down as legends, after completing a treble with one of the best teams that's been around for a long time.

 

I hope the match starts with Messi running at Ferdinand, then he ducks and runs through his lanky legs with the ball, looks up, draws Van Der Saar out of his goal, fakes a chip that sees the keeper flapping his arms around in the air like a nutcase with a shellshocked look on his face then falling on his arse, then runs around him but just out of the corner of his eye sees Vidic sliding in to take him and the ball out, drags it back smoothly, points and laughs at Vidic who's sliding off the pitch, runs upto the goal line, gets on his hands and knees, rolls the ball over the line with his head, gets up, runs towards the manc fans and tells them all to fuck off. Then the camera just switches to Slur sat there chewing frantically for about 30 seconds. Then it'll be game on.

Funny that. I was sure we took part in 2 of the best games in the competition this year.

 

Obviously not.

Before checking, I bet it's that CUNT Jonathan Stevenson?

[col06]

i think united will be in for a rude awakening tonight finally playing a excellent team in the Champions League

It is amazing that the British media has restored the CL to its rightful place as the most important competition in world football now that the Mancs are holders & in the final.

That was from 'Stevo' though who's just left to be replaced by someone else who'll probably be less into the whole wankfest thing. Someone called that Stevo a Manc something or other not long back too, so maybe he's going over the top because he supports them. That might be why he went too, so he could go out and watch the match.

 

Either that or he just got called a Manc for being a tit on there a few times, not sure.

 

edit : sorry, quoted you instead of the post you were quoting from BBC. Yeah the media in general are doing an overall wankfest by the looks of it though. I'm glad I don't read/watch hardly any of it.

[Wor Horse]

He's a forest fan but bizaarely says things like "So what Liverpool fans, I really want United to win the league" Talk about being neutrel.....

 

The cunt.

[Antynwa]

I'll be honest, I reckon United will twat these, I'm not even trying to mock my prediction, nor am I trying to do abit of weird reverse psychology.

 

United will win tonight.

I agree.

Ah, yeah I think I remember him going on about Forest once or twice. Sucks that he says stuff like that though, you'd think a so called neutral would want to see a change instead of them raking in almost everything.

[23_Carra_Gold]

They have 1/4 of their regular defence.

 

Then again anything can happen in these one off games. Everyone expected Milan to twat us in '05.

Yes, he's a Forest fan.

 

There's an Indian guy who's a big Red but he was doing the cricket the other day.

 

They should have got him onto do it!

typical of our media in this country why are they never ever neutral

[Wor Horse]

He's just a smug twat, overuses the word 'that' when it comes to United.

 

"You won't see a better team than that"

"You won't see a better goal that"

 

It's sad, because a lot of fans are basing their opinion on his.

bizarrely someone pointed out barca may be better defensively without there two attacking full backs ;)

it's a shame that between the two of them they'll only just manage to overtake us tonight in the number of big ears wins. but they're the only sides who can live to this billing? fuck me.

[Joe Le Taxi]

Espero Barcelona destruir Man Utd y que su defensa no puede hacer frente al ataque de Barcelona de Messi, Eto'o y Henry. Este será un partido muy interesante y aunque espero que no sea aburrido como el año pasado fue del partido.

 

Only messing, I am just bored now.

[loadsoftrophies]

Ronaldo and Rooney vrs Pique and Puyol. Oh dear.
