No they wouldn't, thanks for playing.

Also, lol, has Essien come underfire for his diabolical attempt at clearing the ball? I don't feel like reading three pages of Tommy Three Teams crying into his cider.

The beautiful football snobs on this forum are absolutely ridiculous :lol:

Barca were awful. Absolutely awful. Taking over 90 minutes to get a shot on goal is not beautiful in any way. Chelsea just weren't good enough to kill the game off, Drogba had a poor game.

United in the final in a canter.

^^ Not a Roosters fan anymore.

Yes they would. Have you watched Real Madrid play this season, or last? They are absolute sh*t.

You mean, the same Real Madrid that went 17 or 18 games undefeated in La Liga? This is the same "sh*t" Madrid?

The same Real Madrid that WON La Liga last season? You say last season they were sh*t when they won the League? You don't know your f**king arse from your elbow.

Real Madrid are not on the same level as they were at the height of the Galactico days.

But are they sh*t? Hardly.

yeah thats the Madrid were talking about... the same Madrid that got thumped 5-0 on aggregate against Liverpool.

going 17 games unbeaten in la liga is some accomplishment.. interestingly that unbeaten run did not include any games against the only 'top class' side in spain.

you can spout on about how 'Great' the flops history is... at the moment there a joke.... and shouldn't be compared to the big 4...

the big 4 > the flop....

Meh, i've always thought he was over-rated hack. Ballack's behaviour really bothered me as i've always had alot of respect for the great man. I worry a bit for Barca considering all the defenders they will be missing. Messi will actually have to step up if they are to have any chance of overcoming United.

Ballack's behaviour bothered me, aswell. If Barcelona had have been awarded a penalty in the same situation Tommy Three Teams and the rest of the EPL army would have blown up about it.

And, you guys talk about how Barca only scored one which came in injury time, how about Chel$ki? 1 goal in 100 minutes of football. If Drogba scores the sitter and Terry does better in the first half it is game over already.

Good prevails over scum :D

If Barca play anything like that in the final Ronaldo and Rooney will... jizz in their pants.

How is Iniesta white? He lives in sunny Spain, must be closet albino.

Yep, it is the same team.

The same one that hasn't made it past the second round of the CL for three years.

The same one that just conceded 6 goals just last weekend, and who were destroyed by Liverpool this year without even scoring a goal.

The same one that has the likes of Fernando Gago and Pepe starting for them.

Maybe sh*t is the wrong word to use but you get my point. They are one of the most overrated teams going around at the moment, and Arsenal would have no trouble disposing of them if they played tomorrow. Arsenal have speed to burn and as Madrid have shown, their defence can't handle pace.

Real Madrid's only saving grace is Casillas. The amount of times this guy saves their bacon is unbelievable.

As for the Final, choosing between Manchester United and Barcelona is like having to choose between genital warts or herpes. Either way, it's painful viewing.

(Privately: here's to hoping Manchester wipe the floor with Barca :) )

The same team who won their league back to back when you said they were sh*t.

CL is also not the correct yardstick as to how good a team really is.

I guess, Ajax > Manchester United. Atleast by that criteria I can still claim Bayern > Man U :D.

WTF??? what logic is that??

Man Utd are the current champions in England, Europe & the World...

therefore... Man Utd > You :cool:

also... on a side note... i agree 100% about that handball shout in injury time.... if that was given it would have been even more of a disgrace. i have no problems with that call at all...

the problem i have is with the Pique handball.... that was a clear cut penalty.

Well, since the CL/European Cup is supposedly the measuring stick, Ajax + Bayern > Man U.

4 times champion is greater than 3 times champion, last time I checked. If Manure happen to make it 4 then the 3 in a row is the tie breaker.

Thierry Henry had a clear cut penalty denied in the first leg which, if burried, chanegs the entire situation of not only the first leg but the second leg, aswell.

Where Chel$ki lost it was Drogba's f**k up and Terry's header that went wide. End of story.
