0% Villa. Champions League Final. Barca or Mancs ?

Had a tenner on the correct score, that paid out handsomely.  And yes, they are the best team ever with the best midfield ever with the best player ever.

Going forwards they're beyond question the best in the world. Their full backs are top draw, but I think the goal-keeper and centre halves are not up with the McGraths of this world. That said, nobody ever gets the ball to put them under pressure. Their movement is like water.

Barca could have had five or six, but Van der Saar wants shooting for two of the goals.

Disagree about VDS im afraid.......1st goal was Evra's fault you look @ replay he left the whole left side uncovered, 2nd goal was a great strike, no backlift, Vidic blocked his view also they hit both the 1st/2nd goals very early and the 3rd was unstoppable

I didn't watch it. I don't have sky and I knew itv would render it unwatchable

Seriously? It certainly wasn't unwatchable.

I cancelled my Sky Sports sub a couple of weeks ago and so I had to bite the bullet and watch the ITV coverage.
Was not as bad as I feared, but I had to laugh at the chap (Gabriel?) who interviewed Vidic after the game.

Bear in mind that Vidic's command of English is somewhat tenuous:
" So sah ih' ohl ' ah"
"What did you say?"

Translation: "So, sum it all up", but with no trace of a trailing consonant to give the confounded Serb the slightest chance of working out what the fuck he was being asked.

I suppose he could argue in mitigation that he had just interviewed Rio.

Agree.

First goal was at his near post and he dived the wrong way...

Second goal was straight down the middle of his goal - his positioning was poor (he was too far over to the right of his goal)

Good game.  The United we all know and hate really didn't turn up last

night.  A very below par team effort on all levels which made it easy for Barcelona.  The United fans were a disgrace as was ITV's over the top Barca wankfest.

A new "19 times" banner will be unvieled at Old Trafford this week...to represent how many times they touched the ball Saturday night.

Couldn't disagree more. Van der Saar plants his feet for the first. Messi's goal should have gone straight down his throat. Nothing he could do about Villa's goal.

The Defending, bar Vidic (world class centre half) wasn't up to much either.
