Champions League Final Tonight

nikebee · 21-05-2008, 17:27

So who'll be watching it, what's everyones expectations, who's routing for who?

As a United fan it's definitely squeaky bum time

It's not often a Champions League final comes around in the same year as winning the league as well... and to top this year off it's the first ever all English final!

Needless to say I shall be grabbing a few beers and screaming at the TV tonight

Being a Blues fan I'll be routing for them and hoping to continue where they left off at Stamford Bridge a few weeks back.

Let's just forget about the Premiership shall we?

Should be a fantastic game as a semi-neutral though.

Edit: I've been leaning towards the blues. I just have a feeling.

I just hope it's not a repeat of last years FA Cup.... "Classic"

Kitten - Can United borrow John Arne Riise just for tonight?

I'm actually quite calm about it. We've already won the league, which is the more important one. Tonight will just me a massive bonus when we win it.

Great first half. United deserved to go in with the lead but you cant really take that away from Lamps, bit of luck but that happens.

Still feeling confident though, we were playing positive and creating chances. If I was a blue I'd be worried about Grant apparently not saying a word to anyone when they were down - imo story of his season really, he (as a manager) never has an answer when they go down. Off the top of my head I can only think of one smart substitution he's made this year (Shevchenko when we went to the bridge, unfortunately for us, he was the right man at the right time imo).

Anyway, 45 to go!

I can't believe United didn't go into the break 2-1 up.

Daz · 21-05-2008, 22:01

Second half was Chelsea's for sure. I picked 2-1 to United after 120 with the guys at work before hand, I hope that happens now because I wont enjoy pens!
