Great game, plenty of good attacking football. Sad to see there probably will be diving in the final.

No doubt. Can't see the Barca players taking some of the tackles the Schalke boys took without milking it. Oh well, hopefully United can win it! Fletcher is gonna be needed in the middle and the energy of Park will be vital. This is the type of game that needs Owen Hargreaves, but unfortunately that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I'll tune it up for you guys. Should be ready by the 28th.

I won't hear it above the crowd noise.

 

[Reynard369]

embowafa, are you from Spain?

 

[ibleedwhite]

This should be good.

I'm going for United.

City dropping points here. Door is creaking open for Liverpool and Tottenham (though nearly mathematically impossible).

United ripping Chelsea to pieces, 2-0 at the moment. Premier League title should be ours now

what a joke, scored in 36 seconds. Chelsea never showed up.

Arsenal also destroyed (I hope this settles it for all those fools trying to tell me we're fine if we sell Cesc because Nasri/Jack/Ramsey are creative enough). Only positive was RVP keeping his consecutive away-goal streak alive, quite a nice record and only success in 6 years.

Yeah, nothing to do with the way United have been playing then..

What do you mean? Did you even take a shot vs Arsenal ? United are an efficient team, not enjoyable to watch and not filled with talented players, a well-oiled machine. Good on Fergie for pulling off a record 19th with mediocrity at his disposal, he really is the best manager.

Thought Chelsea had a hope there for a few minutes but they've been defending ever since the Lampard goal. Would have been nice for Torres to actually come up with a goal.

Oh well, I'm not a supporter of either club so it matters not to me.

...and it's final now, United win the Premiership.

 

[the shah]

Well they can clinch it on the same day ManCity can win the FA Cup

Did you even watch the game? United played a half of the most sublime football in such an important game yet no credit for them, instead its a joke and Chelsea's fault. And if you think United's squad is full of talentless & mediocre players, then I honestly question your so called football knowledge.

They are a TEAM which is more important than individual talent. Yes I watched the game and they had bits and pieces of good football but in general they don't play very nicely. But that doesn't matter because Fergie has instilled in them a sense of fighting spirit and they go out and play every game like it's their last. That's more than can be said for most other teams. And that's why they are champions. There are probably 3-4 actually world-class players on there, the rest know their roles and play them well. Best of luck vs Barca.
