you will be waiting a long time for that

Your probably right in fact the chances of it ever happening are probably nil but who ever thought we would get to the FA cup final, i know its slightly different ,in fact completly different because 1st we have to get to the premiershite and that will probably take my lifetime

Reasons I want Utd to win it.

1. They represent England
2. It will mightely piss-off Michel "I hate everything English" Platini
3. Everyone at ITV and Sky, might just stop creaming their f***ing knickers everytime anyone utters the word Barcelona.

I'd go along with that, especially number 3. There was alot of mutual masturbation on here about the football barca played and how their forwards had scored so many goals etc etc etc Then they only managed to score once against chelsea and didn't look like the world beaters they are in spain.

They might be able to pass teams off the park at home, but utd won't allow that to happen just like chelsea didn't, they are too strong physically. If Barca were in the prem they would come 3rd or 4th.

Ah, And yet they only scored 1 goal...
They aren't used to brutality of the premier league, the Spanish league is a totally different culture and style of football and I Think Spanish clubs generally struggle against the English style of play so to speak. (Liverpool VS Real is the perfect example)

How many did they need to score to go through?

The stats clearly show who the better team was.

Better team YES, but the key thing was that over 2 legs even though they outplayed them because they were up against a good defence and a defence who took no prisoners they only managed to draw with them over 2 legs, I Just believe they are very vunerable because of the way they play.

As for your stats, they mean nothing stats in football are pointless the only stat that matters is the score.

You can't accuse a team who have scored over 100 goals this season of not being capable of brutality in front of goal

I Mean they couldnt cope with the brutality of the chelsea defence, as we saw with all the moaning the day after the first leg

Barca have always been vunerable by the way in which they play, and that is something that will never change. If someone came in and tried to change it he would be hounded out of the door. They only know attacking football, in which they want to score more than the opposition.

Last season Barca outplayed Utd twice but came unstuck with a perfect strike from Scholes. This season they outplayed Chelsea over 2 legs and did just enough.

The stats just back up that Barca were the better team, and as for the score, well that was in Barca's favour too :thumbsup:

They didn't do so well against Liverpool, didn't they lose at Camp Nou and then beat Liverpool at Anfiled?
