Man U

Barcelona is w/o 2 players, 1 being one of their best in Danny Alves

**Phillth** · 05-13-09, 11:29 PM

uefa.com is also reporting that Henry and Iniesta are doubtful.

**Pajda** · 05-14-09, 01:55 AM

Interesting fact:
Since inauguration of Champions League (1992/93 season) no team has won back to back.

lol

pico man this is what you listen to when you're high?

***SYL*** · 05-14-09, 08:31 AM

Manchester all the way, tbh. Bacra have injuries, Manchester very nearly has a full squad to chose from. Barca also don't really like playing against english teams, and beat chelsea more due to luck than anything else. It's also about time that someone defended the trophy :P

yep, and i love the penolope cruz lesbian scene.

**theplagy** · 05-16-09, 01:52 AM

No danni alves, abidal, marquez and maybe missing iniesta

gotta roll with the reds

and it seems like over 2.5 is expected here

**Wilforth** · 05-16-09, 04:35 AM

Barca are too depleted especially defensively. Defense wins championships. I'm giving this one to Man Utd.

**Willie Bee** · 05-17-09, 08:32 AM

Good call Wilforth, defense certainly ruled that game. My Scouser friends will smack me around for saying this, but congrats to Man U

Doh!

Had just read the other morning about the 0-0 draw that gave Man U their win, got confused on account of I hadn't had a drink yet when I posted that.

**Dark Horse** · 05-19-09, 12:48 AM

Lean Barca. Will decide closer to game day. This should be a pretty good game. Usually the final is boring, but these are two teams that 'want' to play.

**Dark Horse** · 05-19-09, 12:56 AM

FWIW, Barca will be wearing home jerseys. Manchester will be in white.

**pavyracer** · 05-19-09, 08:18 AM

I am playing for the draw in regulation at +251 and Man Utd to raise the cup at pk-101.

Good luck boys!

**Shark79** · 05-19-09, 08:22 AM

for me its all Barca.

Basically if the game ends in a draw I win 2.5 units and if Man U wins in OT or PK I win 3.5 units, if they lose I get 1.5 units. If Man U wins in regulation I push. If Man U loses in regulation I lose 2 units.

May 27 2:45 pm Est Graded after regulation time (90 minutes) + injury time

Barcelona +165
pk -108
2½ +109

Manchester United +165
PK -111
2½ -137
- Draw+220

**EasyR** · 05-25-09, 05:47 AM

My pick is Manchester. I think their defense is better organized and will be succesful against Barca´s atacking force.

**Pajda** · 05-26-09, 02:19 AM

I like a draw in regular time. Don't think I'm going to bet on this game, it's 50-50 for me.

**The General** · 05-26-09, 05:08 AM

Barcelona +165
pk -109
2½ +115 -147
Manchester United +165
- Draw +220

**alanisds** · 05-26-09, 07:47 AM

man utd will win
barca is Missing some players

**Karayilan9** · 05-26-09, 12:04 PM

Man U's defense has hardly been something to shout about lately, I don't know why everybody is going on about their defense, has anybody been watching the team second half of the season? they allow teams to come onto them and don't close down, any of that kind of play against Barcelona would be suicidal.

Its a close call, personally I have not been impressed with Man U second half of the season, there defense has been shaky, they have not been a class above their opponents. They are however, one of the great teams and teams like this with their experience and when they have a legendary manager like Ferguson in charge are able to get by the weaker sides even if they don't play much better than them. And that is why they are winners, they don't give up points against weaker sides. However, if you look at their performances against the top English sides 2nd half of season its awful, just look what happened when they got crushed 4-1 by liverpool.

Man U vs Barcelona defense - Advantage Man U
Man U vs Barcelona midfield - Advantage Barcelona
Man U vs Barcelona attack - Advantage Barcelona
Man U vs Barcelona strikers/finishing - Advantage Man U
Man U vs Barcelona managers - Advantage Man U

I give Barcelona the edge.

GREAT WAGER

win or Lose Draw +251 = Great Value

They are not 2.5---1 to DRAW in REGULATION Time

**flyingillini** · 05-26-09, 12:38 PM

I am betting on Allah

**POTVINSUX** · 05-26-09, 02:17 PM

Man U pick(-115) for me

**Karayilan9** · 05-26-09, 02:47 PM

It would be good to hear reasons you think Barca or Man U win, why just bet on sides, cards, goals, there is value to be found somewere
