Hope your right again about Ying, wrong about the army, totally indifferent for the next two and I hate branston . At least you did better than Bangkok Post, they are still showing 'breaking news as 1-1. :lol:

In many ways it was a re-run of the 2009 final in that United started brightly for the first 10 minutes then Barcelona assumed total control.
Rooney did give United hope with an excellent equaliser,against the run of play,but once Messi scored Barca's second that wa it.
Instead of dwelling on Uniteds shortcomings I prefer to pay tribute to the excellent way Barcelona played.At the moment they are head and shoulders above any other club side in Europe and probably the world.Their boss,Pep Guardiola,is only 40 and must be running Mourinho very close for the title of "special one."
Messi is a cut above other players,including Ronaldo,and just parades his superb skills never retaliating for some of the rough treatment he suffers.
But you look at the current English sides.....United,Chelsea,Arsenal,Spurs,Liverpool even Citeh....and look at the amount of team rebuilding required and you wonder how long it will be before another English team graces the Champions League Final again ??

Getting to the CL final is one thing , winning it another ,,,, i can see any of the big 7 clubs highlighted above getting to the final most seasons but rarely winning it !!

Spot the odd one out ??? ........ Chelski - becos all the others have a manager.

The game went very much as I expected.
I actually don't think United were that much worse than Barcelona. Messi was the huge difference. I think if he had not played, or had been neutralised by United, then a very different outcome would have been possible.
United no longer have an 'enforcer' in their side & Messi was very much left to run the show - which he showed again he is more than capable of. I am not sure that Barcelona sans Messi would be very much better than the top 5 or 6 Premier sides.

If Citi decide to test the waters with a massive bid it would be a very different prospect in Europe next year.

As for United...Wesley Snider looks a must to put some bite back into midfield. Giggs (maybe because of non footballing matters) very much looked his age & Scholes has surely played his last game...

Very surprised to hear that you think Messi was the only difference between the sides Bob. One player does not a team make! EVERY Barca player played well last night. Their passing was a sight to behold, just beautiful.

Im upset United lost but to watch Barcelona play football like that was just a thing of beauty. They are in a different league to any other European side.

Mash, the end of the month lottery is coming up. Any chance you can provide the numbers ?

The match was an a-Messi-ng teamwork effort executed by the Barcelona club. Wow!

Meanwhile, pictures have surfaced on Twitter of Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard celebrating United's defeat by the Spanish giants.Also City of Manchester put on Flood Alert as 50,000 Man City fans pissed themselves laughing! Congrats. to Swansea City on gaining promotion to BPL after emphatic 4-2 win over Reading, will they be Ladbrokes'favourites to go right back down? Congrats to Mash for predicting CL final result, only hope his 2nd prdiction scrawled on my bill, viz. Toffees to be relegated next season is far off the mark, otherwise I know where the next pckt. of OATIES will be goin' :shock:
