benjii Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 No. I hope they get mullered. They have just won the poorest top flight in living memory and have had flukey draws in the Champs League all season. They are nowhere near as good as they think and it would be funny to see them get smashed. However, it would also be funny to see cheating ****s like Busquets and Alves get a kicking.

pap Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 I don't like Manchester United that much or the vast majority of their plastic fans, but I want them to win it. They're an English team, and while there's no doubting the immense talent of Barca, they dive around like pansies and try to fool referees. I would love it a Barcelona player got a second yellow for simulation and got sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I can respect Ferguson for his achievements I cannot stand Rooney or Ferdinand.The prospect of all the media adulation for those two in particular,and the fawning over ManU is too much to stomach.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 (edited) I want them to lose after outplaying Barca for most of the game. Fergie has fluked 2 European Cups,Bayern should have been 3 or 4 up before that ending and John Terry should have burried that Peno. An offside goal, or a blatant dive by Villa for a last min pen, will do me. Anything that upsets Taggart would be great.

But we are still far more of an English club than United. How are they an English team, apart from simply happening to be based ina part of England, which is the post that I was responding to? And you ignored the rest of my post? From when I first went to see Saints play at Old Trafford back in the mid 80s to the present day, you're far more likely to see an Irish tri-clour amoungst their support than the usual St George's Cross that you would see with the majority of other English clubs.

I don't know about you, but I don't have to put up with too many glory hunting Barca fans in my office........ I'm not arguing with you. My local here in Brighton - where I will be watching the game tonight - is a staunchly strong Albion pub. Albion legends pictures on the walls, blue an white flags etc. and it really, really ****es me off when all the plastics flock in to watch the tele. And not just Utd - there's a big spurs contingent who haven't been near white heart lane ever. Ditto Liverpool and Arsenal. They also don't use the pub normally, only when their team is on sky. Now, the Albion fans and me sit at the bar and growl at them in solidarity. I hate plastics full stop. That said I also have met plenty of Man Utd ST holders who's families have supported Utd through the generations and all come from Cottonopolis too - and they share my dislike for the plastics, believe me. I would still rather the rest of Europe knows that England is number one for football and see Utd win in Europe than hold some sort of warped bitterness against them just to spite them.

(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Seriously, supporting Manure cos they're English? ******** to that. I'll be supporting Barca because (despite having 2 players who are prone to diving) they are still head and shoulders the best team in Europe... or the world. When Barca are on their game there is no better sight in football and football will be the winner if they do indeed win tonight. As an aside, I don't think the semi final was truly representative of Barca, it came following a la Liga derby where Real had blatantly set out to kick lumps out of Barca, They were just evening up the odds to ensure Real weren't successful in this fashion (typical Mourinho) again. Having said that I have only watched the Barca CL games so they may well dive like that all the time, even then the likes of Villa, Messi, Xavi, Puyol and Iniesta more than compensate for a couple of diving wasters like Busquets and Pedro. I'd never support a team in europe 'just cos they're english' I'd support the team I liked to watch the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolution saint Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Thing is this is a club competition and not a country thing at all. Nationality shouldn't be used as a reason to either support or not support them. If people want to use that as a justification for supporting them tonight then fine. I won't be supporting them because I don't like the manager, I don't like the players, I don't like the fans and most of all I don't like the media w*nkathon that surrounds them.
