Would it be worth going to Stockholm if I don't have tickets for the game? Will UEFA do the fan zone thing they do for the CL final?

yes. Atmosphere is great at euro final. Not even bothering wth hotel for night of the final. Stayed up all night on Ramblas in 99 - one of the best nights of my life. We need to have a discussion about where in the city we will congregate before and after the match.

Can't wait for this. Already nervous. Tbh I do basically just see it as a ticket into the Champions League more than a trophy in its own merit but it's so important that we have Champions League football next season. It will determine who we buy this summer and ultimately how far we go next season. Another season in the Europa League would be miserable and I would expect us to struggle again next season with those Thursday night games.

I care less about the Premier League right now than I probably ever have. I'll watch the remaining three games but I don't really care. Rest every senior player for all I care, once we're ready for this.

If I were Jose I would say to the kids, they have a chance to play the final but they have to prove they can do it in these last few PL games; then maybe bring the best one or two on the bench/starting lineup (depending on their performance) in the final.

It is still mathematically possible we could get top 4 so I think people are under-valuing the remaining PL fixtures.
 
What's their most strong line? Do they have good talents?
IMO guys like Ziyech/Klaassen are just decent and will do fine at clubs like Everton etc. Guys like Justin Kluivert, Dolberg, Davinson Sanchez I think have the potential to be playing for the major European clubs in a few years.
Dolberg by the way has 22 goals and 7 assists this season at 19 years old.
 
AHHH so he's this seasons Depay. Was wondering who it was.
Interesting you say that. However, Memphis finished his breakthrough season at age of 21. Dolberg will finish it at 19. Also, Dolberg has reached an European final so yeah in general I think Dolberg is a special talent, moreso than what Memphis showed in Holland.
 
Who are 'we' that should watch out for people posting 'we can score goals' on Redcafe.net? What can the consequences be if 'we/you' don't watch them? After watching them, what steps should 'you/we' take to prevent these alarming consequences?

Don't be a douche. You know i mean the players.
 
Can't wait to get to the Abercrombie again in the city centre for this. Best pub atmosphere for big United games in. the. world.
 
Also, it's not really sunk in how big this game is. It's a huge trophy.
 


Find a comparison between the two clubs income in the same period as well, be amazed.

People should just shut their gaps about Uniteds spending. United spend what United earn.

Not everyone depends on their Sheik, their Oligarch or shady government funding.
 
When United wants to buy a player the selling clubs knows that United is loaded so they will ask atleast 10 million more.

Ajax just bought Neres from Brazil for 12 million.. if United wanted to buy him it would have been 20+.
 
AHHH so he's this seasons Depay. Was wondering who it was.

Not really.. Memphis was strenght and pace while Dolberg can actually play football really well. Strenght and pace didnt help Memphis against Premier League defenders while i think Dolberg would be good enough for the Premier League.
 
No way Juve or Madrid has spent over 450m in last 3 years.

Not in last 3 years but from 2007-08, 08-09, 09-10 Madrid spent 388 Million pounds, going by then exchange rate it is easily more than 450 Million Euros.

Juventus in the last 3 seasons have spent 322 Million pounds, that's not much far from what Ajax have spent in their entire history.
 
the scandal is putting a euro final in a stadium of less than 50k capacilty
They probably thought they were going to have a couple of small teams like Seville and Liverpool again and not a couple of the big European sides.
 
Has there ever been a bigger game for United in terms of how it could shape the club's immediate future?

(Assuming we don't get into the top 4) If we lose, I can't see United attracting any big names if we're in the EL yet again. It's a year too many. If we do win, I can see United growing

I think the club has scouts capable of finding non big-name players who will improve us massively, we have built the best scouting network in Europe. It won't be the end of the club for even the immediate future if we don't manage to win. That being said it is the biggest game for the club in years and could really help some of our current players to kick on next season and it's a fantastic trophy in general. The extra money and better chance to make a marquee signing wouldn't hurt either.
