Honestly, ITV need to get a new in studio line up! Steve Ryder and Andy Townsend are just unbearable! Makes the old Des Lynam/Gabby Logan and Terry Venables team look like the best presenters in sport! :p

I wanted to watch a cup final tonight and feel like I got a boring top vs. lower half league match! I'm glad the CL Final isn't the final match of the season this year! But dammit, the FA Cup final is back on ITV this year! :crazy:

On that subject, the CL Final is usually the final game of the season, after the FA Cup final usually on the Saturday before hand. Anyone know why it was scheduled later this year? Just outta interest!

I can't take being beaten by a team that shouldn't have been there, period. If it weren't for that Norwegian egg who reffed the Semi-Final with ****-up after ****-up, it would have been a repeat of last season's final. :(

And what makes you so sure you would've beaten them? They won once in the league other time they drew.. Guus Hiddink would have outfoxed Fergie..

Barcelona played United off the park, terrible performance from United. Well done Barcelona.

Looking forward to it all again next season!

I'll leave all the drama/fighting and team bashing to you guys but, I have stuff to do now :p Just remember where your teams finished before going nuts ;)

Why would that matter Liverpool were knocked out by Chelsea not United ...

Because every real Liverpool fan hates United with every ounce of their being, and wants them to lose every match they enter maybe? If you where a real football fan, that'd be a bit more obvious to you, but as a member of the Manchester United glory hog club, I guess i'll let you off.

United where awful everywhere today, and can have no complaints at all about being beaten. And that just shows me that United are not the best club team in the world, they have stuttered and stuttered all season, and when they came up against an opponent with enough quality to really test them, they came up short.

Iniesta was my motm..

Wenger says what I felt tonight best..

“I would want him(Henry) to do well because I know one thing he needs and he deserves in his career is a successful Final. People don’t realise what happened to him in 2006.

“He played in the Champions League Final and just lost. He knows he had the chance to score the second goal. Then he went on and played in the World Cup Final and they lost on penalties. When you are 30 years-old, how much does that hurt?

“You think that might be my last chance to be in there. For him to go back into the Final and do well is very important.

“So I will support him in this game. That’s not Barcelona. I would just want him to play well and then I want the team who plays the best to win.”

I think I heard that just before the kickoff. Odd for them to break tradition. Only one final before was played outside of a Wednesday, and that was a replay, played 48 hours after the game was a draw.

That's just about what I thought ..

Up the Gills by the way ... :D

Pikey, you from Gillingham too?

Anyway, i haven't seen United pass the ball that badly in a while and they seemed like they were afraid of tackling the Barca players or should have at least tried tp pressure them a bit more. Carrick should have been taken off before Park. He had an absolute stinker.

as Liverpool fan I am happy

Really? A Liverpool fan who doesn't live in Liverpool? Wait til Martyn finds out!

And that just shows me that United are not the best club team in the world, they have stuttered and stuttered all season, and when they came up against an opponent with enough quality to really test them, they came up short.

One bad game doesn't make a team bad... if we weren't good we wouldn't have been in the final.

      Vivaldi ftw, as an old Opera user I've been using it everywhere since the very first preview. My only wish is I could use it at work, but alas, no luck so far. The only allowed options are Chrome or Edge, and while I hate Chrome with a passion and I would much rather use Edge than Chrome, the company policy limits Edge customizations a lot more than it limits Chrome for some reason, and some of those are things I just can't live without, so I have to suffer with Chrome where even tab switching is a pain...

      Less disk space means less bandwidth demands which means lower operating costs for service providers... that's where money talks. ... cuz it's not about improving video quality!... that's just marketing spin.
