Now that's how it is supposed to be done.
Barcelona vs Manchester United
- Thread starter Fergies Formula
- Start date
-
Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Now that's how it is supposed to be done.
^ I rate this.
As for Barca being the neutral support, half the people who only watch the final think Ronaldinho still plays for them, goes to show.

We'll do them.
Anderson won't score his first goal against Barcelona in the Champions league final.
No way!

So you had to do all the hard work.
I fear Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.
Also, Yaya Toure's shots from distance.
Pique, is a joy to watch with his passing.
I feel we could get passed around silly.

how about using the above along with the original graphic? have the graphic then the two kits under that side by side (its not very aesthetically pleasing to have one on the line beneath anyhoo) without the club crests and then all the info from this post?
While I prefer the version similar to last year, credit to FF, he clearly put a bit of effort into making the opening post.
Will anyone actually be on here when the Champions League final's on?
I can't understand why anyone would.
I can't understand why anyone would.
I won't, but hundreds will.
Do you expect everyone to go out to watch the game?
If I was stuck in the house watching for whatever reason, I'd be whipping out the laptop during the game, I'm sure.
lets hope it doesn't go to the penalties again
Nah, I'd definitely not bother to come on here during Champions League final night, even if I was in the house by myself.
But if I was stuck in the house I'd get some mates round, or get some of the family round, can't see the point in going on here.
Nope, I will be at the Stadio Olimpico
Lucky bastard.
It's Giggs or Scholes.
Not sure which
I dont even think its up for debate. Look at Fergies selections for the semi's and the majority of our biggest matches this season. In Fletcher's absense Giggs will start.
Scholes himself doesnt think hes going to start the final.
what if your family and friends dont watch football ?
for you vida.... im keeping the graphic, sorry, but i made it and got the thread started. Its ok to be different!
okay but could you add the rotating man utd gif at the bottom. its a lucky omen
Most of my family and friends don't particularly like watching football, doesn't mean I can't convince them to come out if I offer to buy the first round.
Either way a Champions League final always makes for a good night out, even for most who don't like football all that match.
Oh, and even if I was home alone I'd still not bother coming on here, just doesn't seem right.
night out means being out at 4am here...and that too alone as no one gives a feck about football. everyone doesn't live in england.
Yeah, I know that.
I'd still rather watch the match with a drink on my own than sticking on the computer and coming in here, seeing as the matchday thread's shite and always has been on a matchday.
And you make it sound like a night out at 4am is a bad thing!

My only doubt is who will start of Scholes and Giggs. I think Scholes would be more handy if we were trying to play possession-football against them (which won't be easy against Xavi and Iniesta), but since we probably will be looking to do them on the counter I think Giggs will be the right choice.

erm... id say thats pretty accurate up to the last sub... gibson or nani i think
Oh my god, I'm almost shitting myself here.
IT'S ON WEDNESDAY!
IT'S ON WEDNESDAY!
The game will be decided on midfield, we need to protect from the midfield and use the counter as usual, Fletcher has a lot of energy and that will be missed. I'm looking forward to the game but in all fairness i'm a little nervous.
Im bricking it. I think this has started way too early.
Haha what the shit.
I can't wait for Wednesday, I wish I could just hibernate for a few days until kick-off.
Why isn't it Wednesday yet?
Can't we just nominate one person to do match day threads? I vote for VidaRed.
And so it begins...
