Water under the bridge but...

[Peter R]

it's all hypothesis amigo (as you well know): I was merely addressing Tilla's contention that :

"Barca was unstoppable. I do not see a team on the planet which would have stopped them yesterday."

Sorry for your loss...

[Lazie]

LOL... I agree with you on Barca, NO team could have stopped them yesterday , except ah don tink Liverpool wouda get such a bad beaten...

True, how looserpool woulda get such a beaten when they were never in the competition in the first place?

[Gamma]

well the mistake he made was making it to the finals. i think that is as crucial a mistake as he could have made.

[Muadib]

More like yuh head in the sand...

Yuh know what it mean when a Manager is asked if his team is the best in History ?

Yuh nuh haffi be a fanatic to be a fan..

[Rockman]

Your outlook on Man U has always been different from mine.Fact is Fergie's pre-match comments...
Had Fergie been given another bite at the apple he probably would have done things differently but water under the bridge.

[Peter R]

You have GOT to be kidding!! even your boss admitted it was the best team he played against... it was just a question of how bad you would be beaten... a GREAT side made your team look crappy... no shame in that.

Manu pick up di average beating Barca hand out tuh di oddah 18 teams..

La Liga have 2 Super Teams and 18 Competitive teams... EPL have 5 Good side and 15 kick and run side..

[Lazie]

Spanish Football jus better than di kick and run unnuh create excitement over in England. Unnuh nuh deh pon Spanish football level cause unnuh nuh mek smart, concentrated plays. the Barca players are smaller, slower and weaker than MANU players, however, they are smarter, which is what's most important. Only a team from Spain(Real Madrid) or Italy would've given Barca a run in that final.

Unuh getting ridiculous now. Who on the field was quicker than Pedro? Messi, Alves and Xavi ain't slow, suh yuh slow argument nuh hold water.

La Liga only have 2 teams. Barca and Real, the other 18 teams just mek up numbers.

[Assasin]

Let mi give the novice them Fergie game plan.

play a tight defense with Evra shading a little to the inside to help counter Messi. use a more defensive midfield to try and stop Messi, Xavi, and co. Use Hernandez over the top and with true ball from the midfield.

It was a worthwhile game plan but Barca was just better. Nothing Fergie could have done that would have changed that score line in a more positive way. It is easier he plan fi next year or the game inna the US.

It is all about TEAM ball. Barca has the passers and movers that no other TEAM has.

...besides Barca has the teacher (Hey who the hell taught the Barca players that pass and move game?) that no other team has.

Yup! Pep has proven that he has no peer at this time!

BoyU's Fergie was outcoached. BoyU's team was then outplayed! Yup! ...Pep did all his work before a ball was kicked.

[Tilla]

Cho. When Liverpool is playing Champions League ball, come talk to mi. Right now, this is bigger than you and Liverpool.

[Rockman]

Packing the midfield was never an option for me,Carrick would be better alongside Fletcher,and Scholes(the right sub)did steady the ship going forward.Park and Fletcher were essential if we had any chance of containing...,and just maybe that would've sparked Rooney's natural instinct of being a defensive presence.
There was good thing about the game,Rooney scored.....,that is tremendous regarding future encounters.
Exactly what about the first half would make you understand why no substitues were used for the start of the second?

[Rockman]

Correct,and Giggsy was never my choice for obvious reasons.Much has been said about Barca's passing game fueling possession,and not enough about their defensive game;they closed us down insomuch that all Lenky wanted to do was boot the ball as far away from his half as possible,we should have acted in kind.
