bkkjames Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Time to make your picks gentleman and Migsy. BTW, any confirmation on the referee, I found this below today but not sure if it's accurate. REFEREE FOR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL! The Danish referee Claus Bo Larsen has been appointed by UEFA to take charge of the Champions League Final between Manchester United and Barcelona on Wednesday. Larsen is already known to United, having refereed the UEFA Super Cup final in August when he sent off Paul Scholes for two bookable offences during the 2-1 defeat by Zenit St Petersburg. United manager Sir Alex Ferguson did not contest the dismissal at the time, admitting that the referee had made the correct decision. More recently, he was in charge of Manchester United's 3-1 win at the Emirates in the Semi-Final 2nd leg, where he also sent off Darren Fletcher. Larsen, 43, speaks fluent English and also refereed Arsenal's 0-0 draw with Milan last season. As for my prediction - 2 - 0 UTD. Been playing the scenarios around in my head for a few days and at the end of it, I believe our back 4 will outperform theirs (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieH Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 i think united will attempt to kick the fuc_k out of barcelona and stifle them. then they'll win 1-0 with a deflected free-kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtoad Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 3-1 to United. I think United are better defensively than Barca, and will be able to catch them on the break. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 No fan of Chelsea am I but caught the second half of the semi final in full over the weekend. Barca were very lucky and I hope we line up vds oshea rio vidic evra tevez carrick anderson rooney ronaldo berbatov and make messi, eto and co defend. won't happen though - too much risk - perhaps late second half if we need a goal.

Sparkles Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'll go for 1-0, Barca.Go, Barca !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it will be 1-0 too but the other way capping a fantastic season for United with all on Merseyside cheering on their fellow Brits. I expect Ronald to to play up front alone ,Rooney wide left, Park wide right ,dropping back and harrassing Henry. Midfield of Carrick , Anderson , Giggs. Super sub Teves on the bench with Berbatov if things dont go as planned. United , on paper, better defensively but Messi and Iniesta dangerous every time they have the balll and thats usually a great percentage of the time.If United win expect a video link up direct to the big screen from Rafa congratulating Ferguson and the team ..jing jing.

Agreed. Without Alves and Abidal, you've got to say Manu are favourites ... but anything can happen. It's crucial that Henry and Iniesta can play (as I understand it, they were in training with the rest of the players on Sunday.) If those two are out, you've got to say that Barça have a massive task on their hands. But not an impossible one. Here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macclad Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I reckon Man U 2-1.But they are going to miss Fletcher and if they let Barca run at them the way Liverpool did they could be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
