Me dad said they had a Man Yoo fan on 5live this afternoon who had just shelled out £900 today for his ticket and flight, and was about to start looking for accomodation. Good luck to him on the accomodation front. No place in Europe more expensive! He'll be looking at at least £250 a night per room No flights left to Moscow on the day now.

Depends if Drogba gets his leg snapped off by Steven Taylor. I can guarantee that Drogba will appear to have his leg snapped off. Is that good enough?

In a way it's nice to see that the two teams in the final are dead equal at the top of the league. It's anyone's guess as to who will win it. I think Man United will take the league and Chelsea the cup. Lampard to score early and Drogba to finish it late on.

At least any new fans to either Newcastle or Villa can't be accused of that

Aye, any old tosser could've brought the CL trophy to Porto. That old chestnut man. I'm not saying he's not a top manager but best in the world? Not by a fucking long shot. There's also the fact that it's a cup competition (Cardiff in the FA Cup final, Barnsley beating the CL finalists anyone?) and that they should have been out when Scholes' goal was wrongly disallowed for offside. Barnsley beat Grant's team. Kinda ruins your first point.

Man United v Everton FA cup final. If Man United had won Newcastle would have got in Europe. Everton won 1-0. Only time I've ever been gutted about Man United losing. I'll be wearing my Lampard shirt for the final

My Liverpool supporting girlfriend wants to tell you all to fuck off. Loving it :D

I almost feel as happy as when Newcastle win :D Great game from Lampard. Better than Messi and Ronaldo over these games

Eh?

To be fair, it went past him at about 300mph

Love the use of the word "immense" in the title by the way.

Cardiff were utter shite 2 weeks ago at Scunthorpe by the way. Not a chance in hell they will win.

I've never understood what the Welsh FA has to do with anything to do with English competitions, or teams who play in it. If Cardiff want to play in the English league, they should be governed by the English FA. Weird.

Family friend of yours isn't he?

Did I watch a different game? What exactly did Messi create, as I can't remember VDS really having to do much.

Yes, I think he did it to take the piss out of us because he went for a fraction of his worth, the article and link was discussed on here at the time. We accepted a £5m bid from Birmingham but Bellamy turned the move down. In the end he went for less than that.

Any reasoning with that?

3-1 1-4

Proves how much Ronaldinho is missed. No coincidence Barcelona have only scored 4 in the last 8 matches. Seriously though - why don't they just play 2 up front? They'd score a hell of a lot more goals, and it's not as if the midfielders are there to protect the back 4.

And the rest. Not sure I like the tone of that wink.

Yet he created very little. You'd think the greatest player on the planet EVER would at least have set one of his fellow players up? Pele's getting on a bit now. Not arguing you with that one

Not like you to go against the grain is it? I think it's more other people going against my grain Just never really rated Messi. OK, he's scored a couple of fantastic goals, but I can't believe people talk about him being the new Maradona. Not even close. Ronaldo is better IMO. He's no Lampard like. Apologies for not rating your hero quite as much as you do. Great performance from Man United tonight despite missing 2 or 3 key players. Barcelona could have played for another 7 hours and still wouldn't have scored. For all of their attacking talent they really have no end product whatsoever. Why don't they stick Henry and Bojan up front for the game and see what happens, rather than pissing about with this "all of our attacking players will sit on the wing" crap they do? Oh, and Deco can certainly sign for us if he wants

Ok, well he's not anyway

It's a sad day when Spurs lineups get posted on a Newcastle United forum when there is no match involved. Who gives a flying fuck what formation you'll use next season?
