Posted May 20, 200817 yr Well tomorrow it's the biggie, Man Utd vs Chelsea in Moscow, for the European Cup. Predictions? As a Liverpool fan, I really want Chelsea to win because I just don't like Man Utd. But I sort of think it's written in fate that Man Utd will win it, 50 years on from Munich and everything, would certainly be a fitting tribute. I would say Man Utd probably deserve it more too, but being the bitter fan that I am, I want Chelsea to win it. :lol: Shall certainly be an interesting game that's for sure. The press are making a meal out of the pitch (although I think they're making a moutain out of a molehill with that) but we'll see tomorrow I guess!
May 20, 200817 yr I think Chelsea will win it, and i'd rather they won it than Man Utd tbh, only just though :lol: 1-0 Chelsea with a Ballack goal.
May 21, 200817 yr Manchester Utd should win it, but I think the 50 years since Munich (think of the Manchester Derby in February) & 40 years since they first won the European Cup might get to them. I have a funny feeling it will be a tight sterile game (think last year's awful FA Cup Final) with Frank Lampard scoring the only goal in the 74th minute.
May 21, 200817 yr OP: I'm a Liverpool fan too, but I'd rather see Man Utd win :lol: Can't stand Chelsea :/ I predict 2-1 for Man Utd.
May 21, 200817 yr Come on Man U for the double. As a Spurs fan i would rather see Man U win it in memory of the Munich air disaster and because they play better football than Chelsea :)
May 21, 200817 yr anyone predicting more than one goal needs help :P This is going to be yet another installment of the Man U - Chelsea snoozefests. None are going to go mad attacking, both will be defending with their lives, and nerves will cause passes to go astray, as well as clumps of turf. Neck on the line time, 0-0, Utd win on penalties.
May 21, 200817 yr I'm sure Manchester will win but if we do i bet it'll be down to Ballack or Essien.

I agree. :lol: The two sides will set up not to lose, especially Chelsea. I expect it will be an extremely dull game, hope i'm proved wrong though.
May 21, 200817 yr I bet UEFA secretly wept when they both made the final :lol: and gave them a naff pitch as a present for making it ^_^

May 21, 200817 yr ITV couldnt draw the lead up more if they tried. and also to quote the weird fire promo that is on "you come with your impitence" i was unaware so many footballers had issues down there, is that why they have to be paid so much? is it componsation?

That is why I'm watching it on Sky Sports... :lol: So far 10 Minutes gone, no shots on target. Pitch does looks poor to play on, so scrappy game with Manchester Utd looking the better team with Hargreves having a lot of the ball...
