Unless Villa are playing, I alway want the foreign team to beat the English team

Same here, apart from Fulham's run last year.  Bollocks to the rest of them.

I just can't decide whether i'd prefer an utter annihilation (like in the game against Madrid at Camp Nou) or a narrow win due to a dodgy referee's decision, sending Lord Taggart into blue-faced fit.

i'l be eating Paella and drinking San Miguel all day

Actually, paella is from Valencia (we don't like them, oh no) and San Miguel is from Lleida (full of oiks with silly accents). Estrella Dorada is the beer you want if you're a Barça fan.
A bit pedantic I know but I can't help it. I'm like that.

Viva Barca !
Hate those plastic prawnmunching arrogant Manure 'fans'.
Bloke I know loves the atmosphere of a pub in Solihull because he says 'there's nothing like a live game'.
I kid ye not.
And they wonder why we all hate them. :(

Barca by an absolute, absolute, mile.

Had this conversation with two guys at work yesterday, asking me who I'd be 'supporting' on the night. Said Barca. They were staggered (one's a Man U 'fan' who could just about tell you the position Wayne Rooney plays, the other is a Newcastle fan). Couldn't understand why I didn't want the English team to win.

Told them I like to see Man U lose every game, apart from when they play Birmingham.

Barca are one of the teams I follow, but even I get sick of the "more than a club" bollocks that they spout 

Couldn't agree more. All that stuff should have gone out the window years ago, but it's just grown and grown.

Would love to rub their noses in it when the mighty manure crumble
When they beat us 3-1 i was taken the mick out of by about 6 manure "fans" i went round saying that they were plastic, one told me that he wasn't because he'd been once! In my whole life i've only met one manure who i would consider to be a real fan
Try telling a United fan there a glory hunter aswell, they just can't accept it

The whole shebang is a gerrymanderd, overhyped, cash-rich, corporate bore.

How UEFA must have looked on with bitter envy at the climax at the bottom of the Premier League, something that, by their own interference and management has ensured will never happen in their sanitised and predictable competition.

Barcelona, anyway.

Good point, they have already ruined the Europa league - remember how the UEFA Cup used to be a decent thing to win and the final was one of the highlights of the season: Ipswich, Spurs v Wolves I think one year et al. The CL is fast heading the same way in terms of anything remotely approaching excitement, with only Barcelona really doing anything to maintain one's interest in the whole overhyped and poor quality charade...

The group stages have taken the glamour and excitement away from both The Champions League and The Europa League. When I was a kid I remember games like Villa-Juventus,Spurs-Barcelona,Man U-Barcelona,Man U-Juventus,Everton-Bayern and Aberdeen-Real Madrid seeming massive. And they were across the three different european competitions at various stages of the competition. How exciting would a half hearted Arsenal-Bayern in The Europa league be these days and how often have Chelsea and Man United played the likes of Barcelona and AC Milan in recent years. It's not a big deal any more.

I don't want any last minute winner nonsense either i'd like Barcelona to hammer them. I'm guessing though that fairly early in the game Vidic will get away with a cynical challenge on Messi and escape without a booking as that seems to be the rule with Man Utd at Wembley.

My rule is to always support the home team, including Rangers and Celtic in european competition. (I will cheer on Brum next year, if they lose focus on the league like this year in a cup competition, they will be playing in league 1 in 2012-13)  However there is always an exception to the rule, and that happens to be United.  Thrash them Pep.

  Never support any English club in Europe , obviously apart from Villa.Would'nt have minded Fulham , or Mboro winning a few years ago, and probably Everton as well........but all the London clubs and glory hunters, not a chance.

 Is Messi the best player you have ever seen?For me i think he is.

Barcelona. Although if Man United catch Liverpool on European Cups as well as Championships that would seriously annoy my plastic Liverpool supporting friends.
