haha this is funny.

Anyway guys if you do get to 5 European Cups, you will still need to win the Europa League 3 times to be as successful as us in Europe :D ;)

or...because you lot will see the Europa League as another competition....you will never win the UEFA cup....

just a different name. we could still win it but we'd have to be as shit as you for a season to enter it.
Now the Cup Winner's Cup is another matter. Did you ever win that?

That HAS gone forever. We could win three different European trophies still but you can't.:SMUG:

If we can catch you in CL wins in the next few years, we could always start on FA cups.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

it would be okay if I could get a stream that wasn't stopping every two seconds and then jumping forward 20 seconds every now and then.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

We're fielding such a weak team yet they've played quite well today, not brilliant but enough to please me. I'm hoping for more goals in the second half.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Well I'm kinda depressed we didn't relegate Hull, but with the Geordies going down it doesn't really matter :D

And besides, they'll more than likely go down next season, so it's alright.

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

That's most likely fake. Why would Nike take picture from this season (or last one) and shop it with the new kit as an advertisement?

.... Its there way of doing things this year with kits,

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Anyone else getting the nerves yet. Fuck me were so close to the big day. CMON UNITED :DD
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Me...I'm nervous about Rome...tomorrow I am renting a DVD of the review of our last CL season - Road To Moscow...just to relive the memories.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I was feeling really confident up until the news of Henry and Iniesta being fit. A little worried now to be honest.
I guess it would have been unfair to play a weak Barca side but with this being a chance to win two European Cups (and a chance to be the first to get two CL wins in a row lolz!!1), I'd take a 1-0 with a deflection off Pique's backside for the win. It's been the story of our season anyway. I mean, we havent been half as good as we can be at times and still managed to get wins so I wouldnt mind more of the same in the final.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I am confident because I do genuinely think were a better team. You have to think they'll dominate possesion but I am confident Ronaldo (He'll be upfront for sure) will get in behind there shabby defence atleast once on the night and hopefully we can defend well.

I think Rooney will be key though, helping Evra with Messi and being the threat from the left V their fullback he can tear them up
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

People talking about playing Rooney on the right and Park on the left to deal with Messi so Wayne can attack more.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I think we need Rooney on the left. They're gonna be without their first choice left back and Messi isnt the best at defending, so playing Rooney on the left would give Evra some extra support in defence while also allowing him to attack down the flank where we can easily outnumber them if Evra overlaps and leaves Messi behind. (damn that was a long sentence). Plus I think Giggs will be getting the nod ahead of Scholes so thats an extra man who might drift to the left during the course of the game. So I think that left side is where we might have to control the match from.
I just hope O'Shea and Park are ready to handle Henry.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yeah should be good. I love Paddy, this is his 3rd CL final in 5 years! :COOL:
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

He seems to have recovered his form as well.

Was shocking after the Carling Cup final for a couple of weeks/months but he's looking good again.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yeh Im confident that Evra + Rooney will handle Messi, Im really worried about Henry V O'Shea. Something tells me he's going to cause us lots of problems :(( Same with Rooney being our biggest threat IMO. Ronaldo will find it tough uptop on his own.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Ronaldo didn't find it tough against Arsenal's defence, and it's arguably the same situation this time around.

I definitely agree with Henry being the biggest threat though, the guy has been fantastic this season, much like his old self, and we never really managed to contain him back in his Arsenal days.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

O'Shea's solid enough defensively to deal with him, plus, Rooney or Park will also be there to track back and help out with the defence when necessary, so I don't see it as a big issue.

Yeh but we ran the midfield on that day, Wednesday will be totally different, we'll get scraps and Ronaldo will need to make the most out of them and even if their defence is shite 4 v 1 is always going to be tough.

He really is NOT our maximum threat. Messi, Xavi and Iniesta are by far more important players and definitely the key ones. If you manage to stop them, half the trophy is yours. That doesn't mean Heanry and Etoo are not dangerous, but they are finishing plays, while the three small ones are the ones that create everything.

The thing we fans of barcelona fear the most is aerial play. We're too weak at that...

28 REASONS WHY REDS SHOULD BE PROUD

The Reds amassed their highest points total ever in the Premier League (86) beating the 82 set in 2005-06. It is our highest in the league since 1987-88.

The total of 86 points is more than we needed to clinch 12 of our 18 league titles (all seasons based on three points for a win).

We won 14 points against the other members of the ‘Big Four’. It was as many points as we had won against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in the previous three seasons put together.

Liverpool scored 77 league goals this season – our best since 1990-91 when we also scored 77, and finished second in the title race to Arsenal.

16 players scored in the league this season – one fewer than the club record set in 1911-12.

We finished the campaign with a goal difference of +50 - our best for 21 years when we amassed +63 in 1987-88.

The Reds went through a league campaign at Anfield undefeated for the 10th time in their history and for the first time since 1987-88.

We extended our unbeaten run of league games at home to 30 – the best run for 28 years and equalled the fourth best sequence in our history.

We amassed seven more points than when we last won the title in 1989-90 (then it was 79).

We equalled the club record set in 1904-05 by winning 13 away league games.

Liverpool amassed 40 away points this season. It equalled the second highest tally in our history which we achieved in 1987-88, 1946-47 and 1904-05 (that season in 2nd Division). The highest total is 42 in 1981-82. It is the highest points tally we have ever totalled away from home in a non-title winning season. (all seasons based on three points for a win)

We finished the season averaging 2.26 points per game – the second best ever average in our 94 seasons in the top-flight. The best is 2.33 points in 1978-79 (98 points from 42 games based on 3 pts for a win).

We scored at least three goals in five successive league games for the first time since 1987.

And we netted at least three goals in six successive games in all competitions for the first time in the club’s history.

We only lost two league games this season - our best record since 1987-88 when we also lost twice. That season we drew 12 games but still won the title by nine points from Manchester United.

We became the first team ever to lose only two games in a season and not go on to win the league. Chelsea in 2007-08, 2006-07 and Nottingham Forest 1978-79 were all runners-up having lost three games.

Liverpool ended Chelsea's 86-match unbeaten home record with a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.

We recorded the club's first league ‘double’ over Chelsea for 19 years.

A Yossi Benayoun goal ensured we became only the second English team to win in the Bernabeu.

And at Anfield we inflicted upon Real Madrid their biggest ever Champions League defeat as we went goal crazy with a 4-0 win.

Overall we sent Madrid crashing to their heaviest two-legged European defeat in the knockout stages for 20 years.

We recorded our biggest win at Old Trafford for 72 years. It was also the first time four Liverpool players had scored at United in the same game.

Rafael Benitez broke Bill Shankly’s record of 65 European matches as Liverpool manager.

The boss also broke Bob Paisley’s record of 40 European wins.

Rafa recorded his 100th league win as manager in his 181st game. It was the 3rd quickest ever by a Liverpool manager and 50 games faster than Alex Ferguson.

Liverpool have lost only six league games in total in the last two seasons. Manchester United have lost nine. Arsenal have also lost nine and Chelsea eight.

Liverpool finished the season as leading scorers in the Premier League. They scored 77 compared to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, who all scored 68.

The Reds boast the highest goals per game average of any team in all four divisions in England (1.93 goals per game) and will finish the season as such unless one of the following happens – Manchester United score nine in the Champions League Final or Chelsea score six in the F.A. Cup Final.
