Barcelona, no question.
Liverpool, United, Chelsea?
Fucking nightmare - wake me when it's over!
I've enjoyed watching United's football all year.
Unlike previous years, they've not relied on slips, trips and falls. It's been a relatively clean flight
So, grudgingly, I'd like to see them clean up.
Whether I'd feel the same if I live in Manc and had to listen to their dumb boasting is another question.

Could you please vote then? Barcelona should be winning 3-0 by now!! 
Watched Barca on Spanish TV at the weekend though. Yernited could proper batter them, they were awful. 
They were bloody terrible against Schalke last week as well. It was like watching County when chris Turner was in charge. Although they obviously didnt get beat 6-0 by Macclesfield

They've got a get-out-of-jail card though, which no other team boasts. Ronaldo. Imagine the difference without that lad in the team.

Eh? I did already!
United will beat Barcelona. Chelsea are just so shit, their football is horrendous - it would be a crime if they won. Did anyone see their game in Europe last week?
Liverpool - just couldn't stand to hear about their 'european domination' when they're shit domestically and have not even won the premiership in the 16 years since it started, and have have only finished runners up once in that time. Average.
Manchester United? Well.......you can't fault the fuckers really. Really they are the best team and are without doubt most deserving of winning it - excuse me while I go slash my wrists.

Yeah - your point being?
ABC, anyone but Chelsea.
ManU should win as they're the best team at the moment, would like title to go to Barca though.
Yeah - your point being?
That they are a better team>
And when West Brom come up we will thrash the Arsenal :)

A prime example of why men should not post in football forums.
It's not really that simple in football, is it?
You ain't gonna seriously tell me that Portsmouth beat United in the FA cup and are a better team? Or Barnsley are better than Liverpool or Chelsea?
That's the wonder of 'cup' competitions...the better teams don't always win.
Don't get me wrong - i'd love to win the Champions Legaue as we've not done it - but even I know Liverpool are not a better side than Arsenal and United. But they 'beat' us on the night.
Arsenal and Manchester United stand alone in the Premiership in terms of quality. United will go on to prove that, Arsenal won't have anything to show...........yet anyway, but we will. But at end of day trophies count for everything.
That there are true facts.

Surprised to see you say that. Ronaldo has cleaned up his act, but he's still the one to watch for what I consider to be classic OT prima-donna behaviour like diving, fouling and complaining to the ref. I would say their star of the season has been Rooney by a long way, then Ronaldo of course, then Tevez who was looking like a dead duck at the start. Ronaldo's been the star of the last few games but I think Rooney's been the more consistent. Having exceptional players like that up front is always going to mask the rest of the team, but they have a midfield and defence that any team would kill for. They're the total package right now, more than any other team I've ever seen.
Oh I feel unclean now!

Eh? It's fairly easy to say. Ronaldo's scored 28 from midfield in the league alone this season. That's more than Rooney and Tevez put together. Doesn't matter how much of a star Rooney is, he can't hold a light to Ronaldo's goal-scoring. And it's those goals that have made the difference this season. Without them it would be a different ball game. No other Prem team has got a striker, let alone a midfielder, with such a return rate.
But, yes, you're right about the Prima Donna bit. At least Rooney looks like a bloke you can relate to, Ronaldo looks like he should be chasing your bird around with 15 of his mates on mopeds, pinching her arse and wolf-whistling. 
united of course, the thing is, if we get past barca and meet liverpool in the final, to win woul be the sweetest, but to loose would hurt big time, and i'm sure all the scoucers would fell the same if the situation were reversed, i think ireland would implode if that were the final tho

At some point in the season, Utd hadn't won a game without Rooney and hadn't lost one with him? Or something? He gets the ball to Ronaldo and Roanldo puts it in the net. And Ronaldo is the dead ball man, everything that Rooney does is in open play. So the stats may flatter Ronaldo a little.
It's a bit like one of them daft Top Gear features where they try to find the best million pound supercar though. They're both both on fire right now.
Good pub chat though 
I dont think Liverpool would deserve to win, and thats not because im a United lad - but (they'll hate me for saying it) they're a mediocre side who seem to be lucky in this, they only get in the competition in the first place because they take 4 teams from the league - apart from Istanbul, what have they been champions of in nearly 20 years?
Oh, and the last two occasions they won the European cup it was on penalties, lets see them win from open play in 90 minutes, and win the domestic league year in year out,- then they can call themselves "Champions of Europe".
Being the best 20 years ago means fuck all. I wish them well however, because us United fans aren't bitter like them...
The big question though: If its a Liverpool - Man United final, how long will english clubs be kicked out of europe for this time?
I get my insurance from AIG...does that mean I should be supporting United?
Actually, I'll support the team Bonzer tells me to...

Gentlemen, you seem to have forgotten the Wayne Rooney transfer details. I think it's about another £1.5million if Man Utd win the European Cup this year, following his success from last year's League title and the previous League Cup triumph...

riises to be cheerfullPolice have just stopped John Arne Riise on the M62.
Apparentley he was heading in the wrong direction...
After the police stopped him his car broke down. He was thumbing a lift when someone stopped and asked him which way he was heading.
