@tkb417, We may not even need to win all 3 if Chelsea slip up in the League(however, am not sure you have a strong heart  so I pray we win all  ) Truth be told you can seldom expect positive comments from rivals when our boys answer questions posed to them. Look if (sorry when  ) we win both trophies you'd hear countless excuses. I am presently drawing up a list of 100 incidents that would have changed the course of this season for Manchester United that these peeps would point to. No 9 on my list is the Ronlado penalty miss in Barca (Folks would say if he had scored Barca would have been more deadly and rammed in 4 against us)  Meanwhile we need to beware of the banana peel called West Ham WAN UNITED

@ Manu4life,
WE ARE WINNING THE DOUBLE.
Fergie's foot soldiers are HUNGRY. JS Park and Brown caught me eye. Park was rubbish at Camp Nou but lit up the stage at OT.
I can't even predict the starting XI for the final. Of course, SCHOLESY will be playing, Ronaldo, Rooney, Apache, Rio, Vidic, Evra and Van Der Sar.
@ tkb417,
United is good to go. English clubs have now mastered the art of defending and scoring when they break. Some years ago, English clubs go into these kind of matches gung ho and they get beaten mercilessly.
For instance, Italian teams have never shown any flair or samba-style football but they are always gritty and more on point. They are technical and defend well. They catch opponents on the break and score one or two odd goals. That is the way to do it. . . . . All the beautiful football can wait till the final when we meet the Chavs/Scousers.
The only question here is: IS TEVEZ HUMAN?

ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I told some people to get medical attention yesternight but they won't just listen! Any one still arguing about our performance so far in the UCL must have been watching the matches with the t.v upside down or something. Other than that, the person needs serious medical attention.  Barca best attacking team my foot. They're just like Arsenal's brother to me  They should start shouting that when trophies are created for such achievements  Messi is a good player but trying to rate him higher than C.Ronaldo is just suicidal. The team was very good yesternight despite the match against Chelsea. At a point I almost thought Evra had turned into a striker. Despite his overlapping runs, Messi started moving into the middle from his wing sidewalking like a crab with ball. Why? He was trying to avoid him  Scholes first tackle on Messi immediately the match started was to remind him that he was in OT and not a dancing contest.  The defence contained Eto very well, I almost thought he was already out of the pitch before he was removed.  Henry wanted to use his 'ogo' (back of the head) but Van denied him very well though I must confess my heart almost jumped out  Park was something else. The way he was fighting for the ball at a time, I thought he was beginning to add chinese stunts  C. Ronaldo was too good. He was a 'constant' threat to Barca's last 4. We can go on and on and on talking about how good it was. Haters can continue to whine and rue for themselves  SAF was vindicated. Infact, I have named him OLUWADAMILARE  He will be watching Ogogoro and Liverpool tonight and I'm sure he's going to be doing more than just watching. If Chelsea manages to come through, I'm sure a Drogba karate-kick goal won't be enough to win them a trophy this time around  @ Tkb417 Shooting the person will make it too easy. It should be done the Samuel Doe style.  Make the person regret ever thinking like that before he/she dies Congratulation on your Mum.  UNITED ALL THE WAY

@Reds, I always love the arguments generated whenever we play , win or lose. Inconsequential sides never generate such heat. i also know that no matter what we do peeps will always find something to say. Ronaldo dives,he doesn't play well on the big stage, Vida makes Rio look good, Abidal is a better player than Evra , Barca had more possession, Rooney should have had 2 yellow cards,yada yada yada.  Fact: 1.We are 90 minutes(or more) away from a possible 3rd Champions League trophy. No contest.  2.We got to the final beaten a team touted as one of the best attacking sides in Europe without conceeding a goal.  3.We can still win 2 trophies this season(Amen)  4.When  we do peeps would claim we won because of the Eto penalty that never was, the Ben Arfa miss, the mancini foul, the Wes Brown tackle that was not punished in the group stages, the second yellow card Rio should have got , the game Aston Villa lost and bla bla bla.  5.MU has a deeper understanding of the European game . English sides understand this very well now and hence the recent successes.  6.We are still the only unbeaten side in Europe this season and are yet to concede a goal in 5 champions league games  7.The last time we were unbeaten in Europe at this stage we won the Cup  8. Ryan Giggs must be kidnapped and released 22nd May 2008  Watch out for new titles but first lets celebrate another glorius night in Europe. WAN UNITED  Manu4laif, i love this post. You don't need to think far to Know those who would have had scripts ready in case Man u faltered. As per Giggs, am 100% with ya. In fact am currently discussing with some of them Niger Delta militants, and they seem keen on the project.

@ Dr Dre,
Touche.
Ronaldo spear-headed United's attack. . . . . . We never really saw any of his great talents. Fans of other clubs are so blind and useless and will never give credits to the Portugeezer. They keep saying Ronaldo does not turn up in the big stages but i think more of that should be attributed to the way Fergie sets his team.
The only time Ferguson has gone gung ho in Europe was when United lost to Roma 2-1 in the Champions league last season. Fergie knew he had to ATTACK to claw back the deficit and that made the return leg at OT very explosive. Was Ronaldo absent in that game? I thunk he was magnificent. . . .He terrorised Italian defence all night and for that he is the best.
British media were all waiting to pounce on Ferguson if United had lost last night. How many times has Fergie made em eat their words. . . . . Write Ferguson off at your own peril. He is god. He sees things other plonkers/pillocks don't seeHey, Fergie just knocked Barca out of Europe without 2 members of the United's spine. With Vidic and Rooney. . . . United woulda spanked Barca like 4 goals.

Hopefully we will win the UCl But at the moment these boys should face the league WestHam is apotential Banan peel And i am hoping we carry yesterday's confidence into that game and get this league out of the way I also pray Chlsea slumps against The BARCODES though with their form i rarely see it happening God be with us
You can all see that our rivals are avoiding this Thread Lets hope and see how Today and Saturday pans out. One Utd!!!

@ Emperoh,
How Fergie gets away with murder like OJ Simpson beats me. . . . .
To win the Premier League (and maybe Champions League) with a centre half as right back(Brown) all season, one fit left back(Evra) and only 2 fit strikers would be an unbelievable feat. United should never ask Tevez and Rooney to shoulder this burden by themselves again. The schitzo is taking a toll on em.
We are just plain lucky that Ronaldo has been a goal machine this year. Saha is an absolute disgrace. What a waste of a wage. United need a big quality, durable striker next year and a right back, thats all. Frazier Campbell should come back and get a few games and Manucho must be made to play next season.
With the FINISH line in sight and the UCL final not until 3 weeks against an English club, United will cop 6 points easily. Hammers will get hammered on saturday and the Lactics woulda been safe by the time we visit the JJB stadium. Fergie will def'ly roll out his big guns in these games and prolly keep Scholes and Giggsy fresh for the GRAND FINALE in May.

@ Jackal No doubt C.Ronaldo is the best. People that think otherwise can go tie a rope round their necks  If we see an elephant, let's say we've seen an elephant (It's a yoruba saying) Don't know why some people keep trying to compare him with Messi. Bad thing is they won't even go for treatment  Ronaldo is an all round player. He dribbles, passes well, can hold the ball well, defend, win balls, feed teamates, has speed, wins and plays freekicks well, and above all score goals  Whatelse does anyone need to see in a good player? When a player like that is really having a good game, people point to him with five fingers. As for Messi, it's only with one finger  Sometimes, SAF formation needs a second look to really see why he's doing it like that. Almost everytime I feel his placement restricts Ronaldo's skills, we've come out tops so for that I respect him alot  I really wish Giggs watches the final or at least not play full time. He seems to slow down our attack most of the time now. I'm quite sure if Anderson had featured yesterday, he would have served as a good linchpin between our defense and attack @ Emperoh You've said it all. Sometimes, these smaller teams want to die on the pitch when they play MAN UTD.  GOD pass all of them so I really believe we'll pull through.  Chelsea can still slump. It doesn't take too long for effect of ogogoro to wane  I would really love to see them get their home record squashed before the end of the season  UNITED ALL THE WAY!

Sir Alex finally got the tactics right, This is what we should have done since! instead united went gung ho against real madrid winning 4-3 (but lost the qtr fnal) Again united went gung ho against milan winning 3-2 (but lost the semi final) But yestada night's performance was disciplined, gave nothing away. nice! A good defence is a better asset in the UCL

ATTACK win matches . . . . . DEFENCE win CHAMPIONSHIPS. None of the teams we played in knock-out stages was able to squeeze a goal in United's net at OT!!!!!!!!!!! This is the reason why United will stand TALL in MOSCOW.
Rio n Vida are the best central defenders in Europe. Ferdinand should be made the captain. . . . .He led by example last night. What a player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rivals avoiding the thread indeed. Anyways, let me use this opportunity to say WELL DONE TO YOU SCUMBOTS!! You deserve to be in the final, no one should say Farca were crap, cause United can only play the team in front of them. You deserve all the accolades for being able to see off the 2 legs tactically. Enjoy your night out in Moscow (for those fortunate enough to go that is). List of Players that get full marks; Rio, Tevez, Scholesy, Ji Sung, Evra and Brown.Once again, from 1 gunner to you all, Congrats on a great european night. Lets see how Chelscum and ther Pool handle themselves tonight  Lordi, How you dey  GOONER 89

@ Loyika,
What happened to Henry? Etoo? and Barca's ability to score an away goal? You are clueless, son. . . . . .You are not worthy to congratulate us. . . Y'all never wished us well. Barcelona was lucky Rooney ain't fit. . . . . . .their defence couldn't have coped with the wrath of the HOLY TRINITY.
Meanwhile, whatchu think? Was Fergie wrong to have rested some players against Chelsea last weekend?. . . . . 90% of yesterday's big performers didn't play on saturday and that includes Messi too!!!!
Wenger should learn the art of MAN MANAGEMENT from Ferguson.

Chacal  I am not congratulating you to seek you or anyones approval  I am an Arsenal supporter, but i will stand up to congratulate a rival if they do well, be it Scum United or anyone. Yesterdays game was at a knife's edge, and if Farca had more guts, they could have gotten an away goal, but like i said, United can only play what is in front of them. Be honest when you saw the team sheet, tell me if you were confident. Your getting through will not stop me congratulating you, even if either Chelscum or Liverpool (who every Gunner knows cheated us to get to the semis  ) go through, i will congratulate their supporters. DOESN'T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM ME!! I know Arsenal will eventually have their day in the sun  , and i would expect rivals to congratulate us when we do ( even if it will be grudgingly). Afterall most gunners congratulated Spurs on their Milk cup victory  , and if we can do that with Lucifer  , who are the Scum that we can not congratulate  As for your question, well if you dispact the Hammers, then the gamble would have paid off, if you don't and Chelscum defeat Keegan's army to go top with a game remaining, thenm my answer son would be A CAPITAL NO!!

@ Loyika,
I am having a laugh. . . . . .If we don't cop 3 points against the Hammers then we don't deserve to be in the UCL final nor win the league. You actually think Ferguson would play dice with his team with the finish line in sight? Everyone should be ready by saturday plus the Hammers have nuthing to play for like last season. . . . A team capable of stopping Barca(the team many feel have the best attacking players) would walk over West Ham.
Anyways, i am going to suspend the acceptance of your congratulatory message till we lift the UCL in May. To be honest, me mind is split on who i would rather have in the final. . . . .The Scousers or the Chavs. Naturally, as a manc, i cannot stand those fucking Scousers so i should root for Chelsea but after those groundsmen at Chelsea called Evra "a bloody immigrant" . . . .I hope n pray Liverpool knock em out of the competition.
Whoever makes it through. . . . .Fergie will be waiting. . . .the beauty of it is they are all English clubs Fergie whupped this season.

Wenger should learn the art of MAN MANAGEMENT from Ferguson. It's not as if I didn't know the Wenger thingy will still come up When Wenger reached the final, his team was playing week-in, week-out So what's special about him resting players, it's not as if he doesn't have enough players to select two full squads. Enjoy your win though, and congrats to Scholes, hope he doesn't destroy a metatarsal before the final

@ Eldee,
If i have one wish. . . . I would rather have HARGO and Anderson in the middle of the pitch. Irrespective of who Man Utd is playing. . . . I think Anderson makes the midfield mobile and he is more versatile. The Brazilian whizkid can tackle, use the ball well and ping peach passes. . . . .Scholes n Giggsy can come on in the 89th minute if they wish.
As per Wenger. . . . . . .He is not an astute manager. . . . When Arsenal met Liverpool in the league game @ the Emirates. . . . Wenger had no business playing Cesc, Hleb and other top players. Wenger ought to have applied damage limitiation. . . . He's never going to win the league. . . .He shoulda focused on UEFA and rest his players for it.
A fresher Fabregas and few other Arsenal players against the Scousers at Anfield woulda served Arsenal very well.

@ chac I disagree - we should've GONE ALL OUT for the league - Liverpool had a psychological edge in the CL tie and we should've steam rolled them and if we did, we'd have had increased confidence - footie is a game of sequences - win and build more confidence or keep stuttering. All the same congrats to the SCUM, they won by a piece of individual brilliance, and an arsenal of last season performance from Barca - all posession, no end product, no shots even except for one or two!  very poor indeed, like i said, the whole tie disappointed greatly, not like the fire-cracker Chelski is offering up right now - what tenacity, what skill That DD goal is the best team-work goal I've seen all season, close incisive passing, intelligent player movement and BANG! by DD beyond Reina  Unbelievable!

I pray Vidic and Rooney are backup for the finals. I do not want to entertain the silly excuses these scummies keep bringing up for their absence.
I have said Chelsea would be the better team to deal with the scummies and they have proved me right by dealing with Liverpool as appropiate this evening.
Now Moscow will show who really is the Champion!

Scholes has to play, he's been an important part of Man Utd's stride to the final for the second time Even Roy Keane will be wishing he got this chance Scholsey's getting Besides, he might be a little slow, but them cutthrough passes cannot be understimated, and remember he does the Keano when needed. Winning it will be a finale to the career of the best midfielder England had sinc Gazza. Bout Wenger, look at Chelsea, how many players did they rest? Who were the big guns today? Fabreagas was worn out not because he played one match, but because he played all season, you feel me? I know I shouldn't be asking now but where's dayokanu? I'm waiting for an All German final

@ eldee I agree with you mate
DD played all the games he could this season, even with injuries and all, and still scored two goals, ditto for Essien, but STILL they produced results
Resting players doesn't always produce results, Benitez rested but crashed out, Chelski instead WON twice - I think if AW played his strongest squad that Saturday, it might have been us facing Chelski tonightbut I'm glad Liverpool is out now - after cheating into the semi's, they don't deserve to go far.
This is a warning to all who believe signing expensive players results in success - Torres, Voronin, Babel, Mascherano, Leiva, Skrtel and the others, STILL NO trophy, and essentially a WORSE season than the previous for them. Money alone can NEVER win titles.
