Pretty much agree with everything you said. Barca are better, but you know Mourinho has been preparing for this moment probably way before he signed his contract. Agree that RM-MUFC would be better final, at least both sides would get the ball :D

Even if it is Barca, I can't see it being a repeat of 2 years ago. They're not as good as they were then (as the Arsenal tie showed quite clearly), and we're a very different team. Also less good, but more tenacious and better at getting results when we're not playing well. Plus we're not solely reliant on one player anymore. Barca would still be favourites, but in England at least, we won't be anywhere near the underdogs the odds will no doubt peg us to be.

Haha. Clearly can't compete with him at mindgames. Reminds me of Benitez's meltdown, and Kevin Keegan's.

Well that was awful other than Messi at the end. Another BS red card helps Barca out.

Congrats. Hope the final is better than the Barca-Real semi, and closer than yours.

With no dog in this fight, I'd just like to see a good match.

I'd like both teams to lose :D So agree with your conclusion. I hope MUFC get the ball, and Barca don't just keep it for 90 minutes and win 1-0

Champions of England designate - 1 point to go and it's all ours. Huge game today and we were fucking immense, particularly first half. Over the moon. You never get tired of winning trophies, but to get number 19 and break Liverpool's record - it's going to be the sweetest of all.

Congratulations, dammit :) At least selling Torres was yet again proved to be the right choice for LFC.

Cheers! Torres might be the best sale of the decade already. Great bit of business that.

Think Suarez will be a very good, possibly great LFC player. Not sure about Carroll, suspect he might fall in the 'never fulfilled his promise because of injury' category. Meireles has been a good signing, but Chicharito is definitely the signing of the season.

Got the Champagne open for title 19. If Stoke win, think I'll go out and buy another bottle - if I can stop laughing anyway.
