Only a matter of time before someone digs up some past history of him that is 100% proof he'll be biased towards United.

Chelsea have a lot more in the midfield and defence than United. United are better up front.
Unless Manu sort out something in the middle, I would expect them to lose.
Carrick is a serious weak link.

United's defence have been much better than Chelseas this season. Between CL and EPL 27 goals against United and 33 against Chelsea. Vidic and Ferdinand on Team of the year.

He better not try and make up for that Garcia goal a few years back!

Shur it hit the back of the net:rolleyes:

I will write it here again for those who not visiting United thread
Just reading latest interview with Drogba where he says theres no way he leave Chelsea coz he and his family feel great in London and etc. and press is saying this is totally different than what he was saying all season,that he wants to leave
It seems Roman's guys was giving him lesson:D

Have to laugh at the way Wes has only been asked one individual question!

So nobody listens to what the ref said after the game.

If the Linesman did not say it was a goal he was going to award a pen and send Cech off, but i guess that does not count for all those Liverpool haters.

kmart6 · 20-05-2008 04:19PM

Tell me how I'm a Liverpool hater?!

Nunu · 20-05-2008 05:37PM

I'm watching Chelsea live training on MUTV and Makalele has just made a ridiculous 2 footed lunge on Ashley Cole:eek:
Cole has got treatment and is now being helped from the pitch by 2 people and is hobbling heavily - looks like ankle injury.
Imagine missing the final because of this - what was Makalele thinking!?

Edit: now on SSN. Cole back out with strapping on, looks comfortable enough.

These press conference things are beyond pointless. One cliche after another.

He had to go off again,was able to walk and didn't seem to be limping so I'd still expect him to be playing!

He was thinking what the rest of us were thinking. Must kill Ashley Cole.

I just saw the tackle on SSN, not as bad as i heard and some made out to be. Ashley Cole looked fine to me, but im sure Rooney can work on that tomorrow :rolleyes:

DerKaiser · 20-05-2008 10:56PM

Rooney's the boy with the metetarsil made of glass though, tbh, I'm happy with Bridgy in there anyway

aidan24326 · 21-05-2008 12:34AM

Ashley Cole will be fine, but it's bizarre that players would be diving into tackles like that the day before the biggest game of the season and the biggest game of their career for some of them, Ashley Cole included. Surely they should be staying on their feet.

I'm sick of these FÚCKING polls with options for all the different fans.
Fairly thick carry-on.

jaykay74 · 21-05-2008 01:37PM

Ouch. Thats tough luck. even as a man utd fan i can sympathise a bit.

From bbc....

More than 200 football fans have been stranded at Gatwick airport after their flight to Moscow for the final of the Champions League was cancelled.
The 224 Chelsea supporters had planned to fly to Russia on a special charter flight, leaving the airport's south terminal at 0555 BST.
An airport spokesman said a technical problem caused the cancellation.
Some of the fans have left the airport because they are too late to get to the match, which starts at 1945 BST.
Manchester United and Chelsea are competing to become the European champions in the competition's first all-England final.

Pepe LeFrits · 21-05-2008 02:07PM

I think I'd probably prefer Chelsea to win, but then the prospect of Cashley scoring a last minute OG to lose the game is rather appealing...

Would have been class if Roman Abramo got word of this and did a 'Niall Quinn' and chartered a fleet of his private jets to pick them all up to arrive in time.

As a neutral, I'm just looking forward to a great game of football. Got a feeling the pressure and occasion might get to both sets of teams, and there's gonna be a lot of mistakes. I could easily see a 3-2 match.... not sure in who's favour though. We can only hope!

Dcully · 21-05-2008 03:05PM

Totally ridiculous poll when involving teams not in the final.
No offence to the OP but this is like someting my 5 year old and his class mates would poll on.
Im a Liverpol fan but a football fan before anything else,may the best team win.
Both great teams who have played the best football this season.

davyjose · 21-05-2008 03:12PM

I can't handle my nerves anymore. Come on United!!!!!!!!!

Nalz · 21-05-2008 03:33PM

Anyone out there think it WONT be a boring final?

delija_sever029 · 21-05-2008 03:35PM

It will be boring,when United takes 4-0 lead till half time it wont be interesting anymore
