The game really changed pace from when it began to when it ended. Manchester was pretty dominant in the first part of the game, but they looked pretty well defeated at the end. That's what happens when you exhaust all of your energy against a team that plays hearty defense. Its actually pretty common most sports. The team that comes out swinging hard and early tires itself out, and usually ends up losing. You think people would learn. :p

I only saw the second half but Barca were very dominant by then, their passing was so much more fluent and creative. The second goal was quite an easy one really, some none-existent marking by United.

Just till the first goal. United kept the ball most of the time, but they didn't look like knowing what to do with it.
A disappointing match, I'd say.

The first half?

You must be joking you mean the first 10 minutes.

It was great to be with some Manc scum as their team crashed and burned to Barca hahaha, I loved every minute of it.

Still dont despair United fans although you want to cry,
Look forward to next season, at least your team will try.
And when winning in the future, life just seems a "gas",
Just remember Barca, who shoved your jibes right up your ass.

Glory, glory Man United is what their supporters like to sing,
So please tell me "Where is the glory", if you haven`t won a thing.
No shortage of oppotunities in Europe
And still they won no silverware, just the odd wee bit of chrome

Hahaha, bad luck Manc scum

T'was a poor game. I only really enjoyed the first and last fifteen minutes, everything else was a tad rubbish.

No, I'm from the south. But, I'm English- so I wanted an English team to win. Oh well, atleast one got to the final again.

That's the worst reason I have heard to support ManU in anything if you aren't Manc scum.

You should have been supporting Baca simply because they were playing ManU. I had 15 guys round my place Thursday morning about 5 of them were Mancs the rest various other English team supporters (Arsenal, Liverpool, Portsmouth, Chelsea and Burnley) the majority of them actually are English and not one of the 10 wanted ManU to win.

Just a question RoI what team do you support?

How did you get it all the way over there? And how do you know that Mancunians are scum?

Yeah, but by then, the rest of the squad had gone tits up and were playing like bafoons. I could have looked less loss than Giggs, marked better than Rio, and not make an idiot mistake like Vidic did to allow that opening goal. Team was just piss poor -_-

Only after the first goal. ManU were doing V.Good before then.

The first ten minutes were good, but the tactics Fergie had were not suitable to being down. He was hoping to contain and hit on the counter, which doesn't work when Barca are up and can use their passing attack to keep the ball from you and dissect the backline into pieces.

I really don't understand all the hatred that Man U get. Sure, Ronaldo is a twat and Fergie is a bit arrogant but seriously but when you're ranting about manc scum you do come of as childish and jealous.

I'm just saying, on the night, United looked very poor. It's really disappointing consider the history we could have made and how poor Chelsea had made Barca look in the semifinals. That's football however.

How did I get what all the way over here?

Because Mancs are from Manchester plus I have had the misfortune to meet
many Mancs all the way over here. Plus one of my grandfathers is from Liverpool, and I think some of his hatrad probably did rub off on me which is why I go for the reds.

You probably wouldn't have heard of em as they're not in the Prem.

Try me I also watch the Championship, Div1 and Div2 I have also heard of many other teams that are in lower leagues much lower leagues.

Fair enough. (But tbh, I don't like Scouses much more than Mancs)

Just cause we have 18 league titles and 5 European Cups.

Crystal Palace.

I can respect that, one of the original clubs and a working man's club.

And has Nick Carle as a player.

All though I would have thought that since you are from Kent that you would be going for one of the teams in Kent such as Gillingham, or Ashford City and they are the only two I know for certain from Kent but yeah you get my point.
