Manchester United v Barcelona *** Official Thread ***

[vegster]

Not to mention offside.

yes, I thought I spotted an offside too..... don't remember that being mentioned in the commentary though. still, we mustn't upset Old Squeaky Bum, or he will refuse to talk to ITV too.

Was that a green laser being pointed at Van der Saar?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

1) That has nothing to do with the fact that Ryan Giggs was offside.

2) Playacting from anyone on either side has been mercifully absent thus far.

Its only a matter of time before Barca resort to the normal play acting, and card waving

 

[8ace]

Is that the configuration code for the interface pcb on a hoover AAA160?

yes, sorry wrong thread

 

[Frutos]

United are giving Barca FAR too much space.

It's very hard to defend against though. Dive in too much and they pass you out the game straight away.

Hence why it's such a good system to use, as the opposition can't get the ball off you.

Agreed, but they could be closer to them

 

[magoo]

Oooooosh!

Pick that one out!

 

[Frutos]

Oh yes.

 

[perseus]

Crab-like

Remember Neil McNab playing square across the packed defence at teh Goldstone?

At times Barcelona remind me of that Brighton side and then suddenly Barcelona fashion a chance.

Messi

 

[chucky1973]

how much space did he have though, when will they learn for fucks sake

 

[brightonmark1234]

thats it all over now and cant see man utd scoreing again but i hope im wrong

 

[Everest]

I'd like the police to go on the pitch now and arrest Messi for criminal damage to the pitchside mic.

Why dont you admit it, they are f***ing brilliant.
Totally controlling the game, United were only back in it cos they scored a goal which was well offside.
Barca will walk this now

 

[brightonmark1234]

that goal was far to easy for messi

 

[Seagull27]

Watching Barcelona just makes me even more happy that Gus prescribes to their brand of football. Played at its best, it's practically unstoppable.

One difference, we dont have Messi

 

[perseus]

Its getting exciting. Man United will really step it up now!

But have they got the quality?

 

[chucky1973]

great challenge by Carrick, should do one of those on Messi, much better tempo from Utd

Stoke would probably beat them
