Sorry to lower the tone........

Who do people reckon will win the Champions League tonight?

I may be an Everton supporter, but I think I want United to win.

popette

I'm city and want united to win.

pdstsp

I'm a Liverpool fan and I don't recognise the game - going out on the bike!

Robspedding

I'd like them to both lose!!

Ah, I used to watch Crewe Alex as a girl and only came round to the blue way of thinking when I met my husband. I just don't have negative feelings towards united - they're just another local team to me.

chelsea all the way..

Has to be Chelsea for me. My grandparents used to own a pub just around the corner from Stamford Bridge so the whole family is Chelsea through and through.

on the road

I've got better things to do.

Stewie Griffin

Only thing that Im sure of before the game is that all of the Prawn Sandwiches in Moscow will be eaten .

leaving work at 4, 2 hours on the bike then feet up in front of the telly with a beer or four 8) . I dont care who wins (I dont understand why people would want to support either of these teams ) as long as its a good game of football. Which of course it probably wont be as its a final and they never are good games unless the Spurs are playing :P

I'm with Stewie, no entertainment without the Yidarmy! I hope the game's abandoned after 89 mins and ends in a mass brawl with Ronaldo getting a good kicking (talented footballer though he may be). Both teams get docked 100 points and get relegated to the Blue Square league, Spurs get awarded with the title fue to playing the most entertaining football over the season, HURRAH! :P
Wonder what odds I can get??? :?

andy_wrx

Where's the third 'I really couldn't give a toss' option ?

Bloody kickball...

Swannie

CL? Champions League?

Meh. I couldn't care less.

Chelsea.
Supported them for over 40 years and there has been a lot of sh*te in those years.
United are playing more attractive football and a front three of ronaldo, tevez and shrek would be the fear of god into any back four.
I hope its a decent match (not a boring chess match), Makelele seems to up for the challenge given the tackle he put in on the philander, good man claude, cheryl's cheque is in the post.

Stewie Griffin

I will be hoping that Utd win truth be told. It would be nice to see Cashley (am hoping that he is fit to play after Makelele done him in training, Bravo Claude ) be the first English player to play on 2 different losing sides in a CL final :twisted: .

Robmanic1, all Spurs fans go straight to heaven, the fact that we voluntarily go through purgatory during our lives is enough. Just tell St Peter your name upon reaching the pearly gates and in we go .

Obviously fans of the Plumstead scummers get an eternity in Hades of 5 - 1 over and over again, as in fact will we in Heaven, just on a larger screen :roll:

robmanic1

Stewie, tell me about it, my other team is Grimsby Town, jeez! No glory hunter me!

onehipwonder

Chelsea for me as have been a fan for over 40 years. I never enjoy watching these games as i kick every ball and get knots in the stomach, will have to drink more Guiness tonight to try to calm the nerves

COME ON YOU BLUES

I thought I was lowering the tone mentioning football, but those suggesting Chelsea have lowered the tone even further....

Black velvet there's an idea........................

Here in the states it's baseball, hockey, and basketball. So we generally don't even know
that these things are happening. Imagine my suprise to see national news coverage of
it last night. And they even spent a bit of time talking about it. I might even watch it, if I can
find it in that vast TV wasteland out there.

I wish the team that plays the most attractive attacking football to win. I think Man U are most likely to provide this but will not necessarily win.

I think it's a travesty that 2 teams from the same country are in the final. I much preferred the old European Cup format rather than the money spinning CL where most of the teams are not champions of anything. They really need to change the competition name.

I think you'll find there's around 20 nationalities represented among the two teams! May even be a couple of Brits?

For all those "Couldn't give a Tossers" , and "I've got better things to doers", You must give half a toss, and you haven't really got much else to do, or you wouldn't be responding to this thread...

Maybe football (or soccer....whatever you prefer ) is getting more media coverage in the states now that David Beckham is playing in LA. Whatever some might think of him, he is certainley a VERY high profile sportsman and in my opinion quite a good ambassador for the sport. He is not generally known for many shenanigans on or off the pitch, apart from the not so occasional fashion faux-pas.

Oh yeah, he gets big time TV coverage, but not really for playing the game. I follow sports
somewhat and haven't heard much, if anything, about how LA in doing with him. He has
become more of a movie star style celebrity and all you really hear about him is where
he ate last night, what he did and where he went on a night on the town, who he was
with, what kind of rumors are swirlling around him, that kind of stuff. You know the gossip column type things. After the TV gossip people tell you all this they "might" throw
in an "oh, by the way, his team lost last night". Seems like plenty of people here in the
states are obsessed with famous "celebrities".

I'd have liked to vote for the Russian police to. Drogba is a pansy and well Man U are Man U - Not that I'm a bitter City fan either!!!!


On a lighter note, Come on Stockport county on the 26th - 2nd division play off finals!!!
(6th time at wembley - to date 0 wins)

drewfromrisca

Hate them both, as a Liverpool fan yes I'm bitter but I hate the ethics of both clubs.

st68

who cares footballs shite

FAT_ROB

Well that settles that then!

Have to say I would rather united won it after watching pathetic Drogba and his girly slap, feel ever se ever so sorry for John Terry who I think must win an award for most committed player ever.

And I guess that this year of all years 50 years on from Munich its fitting that Manchester United bring the silver wear home.

I'm a Man city fan and have more reason than most to hate man Utd but you have to say they are an awsome outfit.

And lets be honest how much of that is down to ferguson. Wrigleys missed a trick by not sponsering him.


But the greatest moment of the whole day.


Winker missed a penalty again........ Awsome
