Come that day it would really depend on which Man U turn up........They're no class of '99, but I still wouldn't write off their chance just yet, they've already proved an awful lot of pundits wrong so far this season

Watched the game at the pub tonight. The best way I can describe it in layman's terms was two bunches of tossers acting like 11 year old girls in one the the scrappiest, embarrassing games for a long time. I know the SPL is bollox, but could tge Spanish League be even worse? On this evidence, yes? Messi is a great player, but I still want to smack him into the ground like a nail due to his poncing around everytime anyone breaths on him. It almost makes The Premier League look an attractive proposition to watch. Almost.

Mardrid and Barca should be heavily fined for their conduct during the game last night the constant harrasment of the referee and the chaotic scenes at half time and full time should be looked at by the governing bodies. But however we know that if this had happened between english sides the book would be thrown..Spanish sides probbaly just a quiet word regarding conduct.

The game last night was between the artisans of Barca and the spoilers of Madrid....game was spoilt by the fouls, over reactions and constant niggling. Madrid tried to stop Barca playing their football.....it worked to a point but then Messi stood above everyone with his 2 goals.

The special one....well he has made Madrid into a physical side (like he did with chelsea), i dont think Jose will be having an extended stay in Madrid. On yesterdays performance the team is a poor shadow of former Madrid teams.

They always hammer teams from the smaller, less powerful countries, but are too scared to do the same with those from the big countries.

Aye, trouble started by Italian fans, who - true to national traits - ran off when the people they were pelting with stones and other missiles, snarled back at them. Crap Belgian workmanship did the rest.

Not trying to excuse the behavoir of Liverpool fans, but they were villified as the only reason for the tragedy. Even after the horrific events had unfolded, there was still footage of Juve fans charging at Liverpool fans and throwing stuff - including what looks like a scaffold pole - into the Liverpool fans.

Fans of teams from other countries have, on several occassions, been murdered by the softarse 'Ultra' fans in Italy when attending European games. On many other occassions, visiting fans in Italy have been subjected to a concerted assault by missiles thrown by scum Italians. The Italian police take no notice - until, that is, the visiting fans start returning the missiles at the Italian scumbags, then it's time for head-splitting with the batons.

Indeed. And I don't remember much being done about Galatasaray - I suppose on the basis that it's OK to murder rival fans so long as it isn't in the stadium.

Regarding Heysel, the one image that sticks with me is the Juve ultra who picked up one of the corner flags in order to use it as a spear.

Hope Man. Utd make it through and beat Barca in the final.

I do think that Barca are starting to suffer a backlash from some quarters based in the antics of their players. However I just can't see how Man United can win. Hope they do though
