I'm not sure who I want to win this, who people want to win/think will win?

Chelsea could were lucky to beat us at the Bridge when we performed badly so as long as we put in a good performance i reckon we'll be ok
Cannot call.

I prefer Grant to Fergie, but I respect United more, though I dislike them pretty equally, Ashley Cole must die and I hate Lumpard and Terry, though I also dislike Ronaldo and Hargreaves... Hopefully Gary Neville won't be involved... Decisions, decisions! Who to support!
United won the title the past two seasons so I don't want them to do too well...
hmmm tuff 1 thenQuote:

The 2 best teams in europe and the media are saying the top players wanna leave?
think united will win, although its gonna be a tough game, i just think united will have more confidence on the night and i cant see chelsea beating us twice on the run, it just does'nt happen!
Chelsea i reckon will win..
It will be a case of can we have the ball back please for United.
Back to reality though.
I reckon it will be a zzzzzzzz boring game like the FA Cup. Either side to scared to commit. Chelsea will nick it though i reckon.
Reckon Drogba will get on the scoresheet aswell now that vidic has accused him of diving **state the obvious**. I wonder if he questions cristianos platoon wannabe dives.
Chelsea 2-1.. Winners.
as long as United play a strong midfield we'll be fine, Hargreaves is a must to start

Scholesy will have to keep his head in that midfield, and maybe not take any risque challanges in the first 20 mins as we all know he cant tackle to save his life, an early booking for him could be detrimental to uniteds midfield task
I think joe cole will play a big part when hes on his game like ronaldo he can turn defender with ease if he performs and ronaldo gets the space he needs to run @ players then it should be a massive game.
Looking forward to it all honesty.. Hopefully it will be a good game not a snorefest. Its the last football of the English Premier League Season so hoping both teams perform well.
i'd throw Anderson in to help deal with the Chelsea midfield but Sir will probably go for Carrick instead
doubt the game will be a snore fest
word is UEFA have confirmed that referee Lubos Michel will take charge of the game
he's the ref who awarded the highly-controversial goal to Liverpool against Chelsea in the semi-final back in 2005
hopefully a huge meteor falls from the sky wiping out all 22 players on the pitch,then nobody wins.

:lol:
Or so they say its coz of the rangers fans, i think its more to do with 10% of United Fans coming from Manchester and the rest being outside manchester and the majority being in China and Asia :lol: .
If they had a parade it would probs look weak compared to liverpools in 2005 (1 Million Fans). Thats probably the reason why they aint having one (if they win it). Too embaressing.:lol:
And it would be a mission and a half for the all those die hard manc fans to get plane tickets to fly across and seem them bring home the cup.
If they get beat on Wednesday the streets of manchester will be empty on Thursday. If they win.......... The Streets of Manchester will be empty of Thursday.

Parade banned after soccer violence
2 days ago
Manchester United fans would miss out on a home-coming celebration should they win the European Cup after officials banned any parade.
The controversial decision comes 48 hours after an orgy of violence by Rangers fans following their Uefa Cup defeat in the city.
But a row broke out over the decision as the city council blamed the football club and Greater Manchester Police.
A spokeswoman said: "Manchester City Council met with police and made it quite clear this was a decision for Manchester United FC and GMP. The city council has made no decision about the parade."
Calls were not returned by GMP following the council statement.
Meanwhile, plans for a victory parade in west London if Chelsea win the Champions' League final have been put on hold. The club and Hammersmith & Fulham council have not been able to agree a suitable date for the event. A spokesman for the council said Chelsea turned down the option of a victory parade on the Sunday immediately after the final.
Councillor Nicholas Botterill, cabinet member for environment said: "We hope Chelsea FC win on Wednesday and if they do it would be a fantastic achievement for the club and for London as a whole. It would be only right to celebrate one of the biggest prizes in world sport with a victory parade.
"Therefore we are extremely disappointed that Chelsea seem reluctant to hold the celebration on the Sunday or Bank Holiday Monday when fans from all across London could enjoy the occasion.
yeah man i knew the first part of the post was alright, just the rest that was bullshit :)
I hope United win it, thinking about it, but I have a feeling Chelsea will do it, especially after Vidic's comments, Drogba will probably get a brace now and Ronaldo probably won't turn up.
yeah dunno what Vidic was thinkin makin them comments, there's no point
going to be a Chelsea win, no doubt in my mind.
Abramovich is a Russian Jewish gangster. Those officials who run the game linesmen, referee will be on a nice bonus for fixing this game you can be sure.
The whole event this year was designed for Chelsea to win in Moscow, pretty obvious really.
i just hope its a good game , after the FA cup final last season it makes you think every time we play chelsea
face it the Russian Mafia are extremely powerful. People's lives and families are at stake here.Quote:

LMAO.
The Best Supported Club. LOL.
Even a strippers t*ts are better supported than the mancs.
Supposedly the biggest club in the world. Liverpool got 40,000 + fans to dortmund in 2001 45,000 to Istanbul and then near enough half the same amount to Athens. Ticket prices for these events were extortinate, the tickets for this final are face value.
If united cant get rid of there allocation of tickets under what criteria are they the biggest club in the world?
don't think those reports mean anything tbh
and in any case you can't blame people for not wanting to go over there, was a stupid idea to hold the final in Moscow in the first place
i take it you went to see liverpool in the final then?Quote:

I cant understand why all these fans are saying there being strict when not one fan has set foot in Russia yet. There letting you off with Visa's, the only thing that may of been mentioned is the drinking out and about the town.Quote:

Its irrelevant really were this game is played its your biggest game in 9 years, if it were on the moon it should be sold out, talk of hostile police (without being there) and the price of flights (Istanbul & Athens were extortinate) is just excuses.
Its a shame it aint sold out, imagine if the corporate section had not used up so much??
Id say it comes down to loyalty if im honest...
Mind you its not alot of tickets there saying 500 + so in fairness its not like its thousands, but it could of been.

Its a Major European City. And as much as people moan about it being expensive, London is probably as just as expensive.
UEFA are to blame as much as anyone, have you seen the state of the pitch? disgrace

i only hope that there is no trouble, coz that platini is it ive read that hes well cheddered about the the final being an all english affair as he thinks as do the italian and spanish leagues that the english game is boring. Hes the one trying to enforce the cap on foreign players in the english game.
Apparently him and uefa are becoming jealous at the premier league and think we dont deserve it.
Which if there were any trouble would suit uefa to slap a ban on english teams competing in the CL.
Only if it's in the ground, I don't think they'd be too quick to ban us, didn't Maggie T suggest it last time? Otherwise they probably wouldn't have had the balls.

@ the end of the day, it is a sketchy place Russia, but i can think of worse s*itholes were football is played and were people live. I spose if you go with the ethos that is, if we dont cause any grief then we wont get any back then everything should be ok. I think if am right it was United Fans who were charging the barrier @ Roma when the trouble first flared and fans chucking cups of piss @ the police etc. But all in all it goes for any sets of fans, ours, yours and Rangers last week, go there with a good attitude and you will be treated right.
Ok it may be russia granted but it is in Europe and it is a capital Moscow and it can hardly been more expensive than what London is.
Stil surprised that it aint sold out..
if court in the center smokin , u can be sent to jail haha
reasons why the neutral should support United tonight :)
* United have undoubtedly been the most impressive team in currently the finest league in Europe so they are already - in theory at least - the best in the business. That this should be rewarded with the actual trophy seems in some way The Way It Should Be
* They do have some likeable players - namely Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra and Carlos Tevez - whom it is actually quite tricky to wish ill upon.
* Paul Scholes is one of the lingering remnants of a time before bling and it would warm most cockles to see him achieve what he missed in 1999.
* They're the only thing standing between John Terry and the Champions League trophy.
* Peter Kenyon.
* Ronaldo may well bugger off to Real Madrid if they win, believing he's achieved everything he can with ManYoo.
* In Lyon, Roma and Barcelona they have beaten three of the best teams in France, Spain and Italy while Chelsea have only had to face England's fourth-best side and the finest football Greece and Turkey has to offer. There's definitely a theory building that United have earned one final triumph.
* It might stop Clive Tyldesley mentioning "that night in Barcelona".
* For all of Ronaldo's faults...he's not Didier Drogba.
* The closer ManYoo get to 'five times' the more Liverpool fans will be getting worried. And there's little that's more entertaining than a defensive Scouser.

Youd be miffed as many people in manchester were if you get aled up fans coming into your country and completely disrespecting the law.
Its there law so you have to abide by it i spose.
