Predictions - Champions League Final.
 
Been reading the build up for the last few days. No question, Barca are the big favourites to win. All the British pundits are spending time and effort explaining what Man U have to do to win it, and it's a big task. Sounds like all Barca have to do is turn up and play their normal game - which they have been doing all season - and the Cup is theirs. I'd love to see Man U win it, but can't see it.

Ok - lay your cards on the table - what will be the score? Here's mine: ( at the end of 90 mins )

Barca 3
Man U 1

United to dominate a poor Barcelona performance on the night.

United 2
Barcelona 0

An anticlimatic Barca 1-0 Man Utd...

Barca 4....Man U 2

I don't support trafford united or Platt Lane Chavs but I'd like to see Man U win it, mainly because i think Sir Alex Ferguson deserves a grand farewell, but can’t see it.

It has already been hailed as match of the year which makes me laugh...

I think it will be tight, dirty, loads of diving (from both teams), and then Barca will win it.

Frankly I couldn't give a toss about Ferguson getting a grand farewell. His team are nowhere near the level of Barcelona this year, but they have a chance due to the stage and nerves that come with it.

I'm hoping yoonited get a right good spanking. A cricket score would be nice. Shut up the plastic mancs for a bit. As for old purple nose - not a scrap of respect 'sir' in his title and he behaves like a 5 yr old.

Hope that it is a classic and Man Utd to win 3-2.

It's funny how the Rags come crawling out from under their stones when there is a sniff of glory. Where were you on FA Cup semi final day?

I hope United win it as they're an English side but i just can't see past Barcelona to be honest , they've got too much in their locker.

2-0 Barca for me

90 minutes? It could be level.

If it goes to penalties, I intend to maintain my 100% record (of never having watched the lottery of a penalty shoot-out) and walk out.

For your information, Jaza is from North of the Border and Rangers fan.

How can a Rangers fan possibly support Manure? Does he/she know nothing about Old Firm traditions? Something is obviously wrong in the Jaza household.

Hey, I only want Man U to beat Barca.
BTW, Fergie was born and raised in Govan which is a stone's throw from Ibrox and is an ex-Rangers player.
The side of old firm tradition that you appear to refer to certainly should not extend to Manchester and is not universally carried around by all Rangers and Celtic supporters.

2-1 to Barca, possibly with their 2nd being scored in extra time.
