Manchester United vs Barcelona 2011

Who will win the final?

My team is MU.
 
I think Barca will make MU look like a bunch of Sunday afternoon amateurs.
 
They are both the best, each top of their leagues. Don't take any notice of Mourinho, Barça does not need to fiddle anything and, if I remember correctly, 9 team members were in the Spanish 2010 World Cup team and that did not include Messi. MU has a serious problem but, as I said both are the best and anything can hgappen.

BTW, Joseff, there is a rumour that Mourinho would like to slip into Fergie's shoes. Take my tip and don't let him! Cups, or no cups, he is interested in only one thing---Mourinho.
 
As a MU fan, I have an awful feeling that Barce are in a different class even if we did make Wednesday look easy with a second rate team.

Having said that, I was at the Nou Camp in '99 when we rolled Bayern over and in that game we played like lemons until the 91st minute.

Main problem will be tiredness with Chelsea at the weekend in the run up......
 
Fair point split - I have an awful feeling there will be no silverware this year in the ManU cupboard.....
 
The premier league is already yours robster, wouldn't worry about that.

Let's wait 3 week and we will know the answer. I would love MU to win this game, but Barsa is very strong team and it will be a great game.

MU is almost champion of England.

Barça is almost the champion of Spain :D
 
Barca to win at a canter.

Not so sure buddy, it's a final, all about who really 'turns up' on the day. Whilst Barca are the superior team, in just about every department, the will to win in the Man Utd DNA might win the day. If Barca have weaknesses it's at the back, particularly at centre back.

I want Barca to win for football sake, and I want Messi, Xavi and Iniesta to put on a master class, but I fear Man Utd will have really done their homework and spoil the game..Messi getting nobbled inside minutes probably by Rooney with a snidey forward's tackle that the ref will turn a blind eye to.

Stoke to beat Man City on Saturday with the same tactics?
 
Stoke are a pretty solid outfit as they showed by comfortably beating Arsenal last weekend.

I reckon they will make City look poor.

Could be wrong.

City have no team/collective spirit, Stoke have it in huge amounts. I reckon Stoke will win, really hope so, be their first trophy. It reminds me of the Sunderland v Leeds final of times gone by (although both teams are in the prem)
 
I remember it well.

I forecast a 5-0 Leeds win at the time. :LOL::LOL::LOL:

And what a massive day the FA cup final was back then, empty streets, 25ml+ viewers whoever was in the final, now Man Utd might win the league before kick off.

The final was always the end of the season (as of F.A. rules) whatever level you played at..
 
Yes, it was a huge event.

We watched the build up on TV starting early morning.

But it was a different world.

There are so many more things to do these days than watch the FA Cup.
