I am no united fan. I do not think they did badly. I do think that SAF had the squad to turn out a winning team and failed.

Barca were the better team on the pitch. But I think united should have beaten the **** off them with premiership footy instead of trying to play the same game.

Besides which Ferdinannd has bee off for the past month how does SAF expect him to defend against europes best strickers. Why were consistant players like scoles on the bench?

Unitied did not loose. SAF threw it away

Rovers through and through. Bring on six points from the dingles.

Spot on!

Me thinks Barca came to play the same football they've been playing all season with a pretty much unchanged side. Man Utd came in with Anderson (w4nk), O'Shea (proper w4nk) Ferdinand, (W4ank thru injury), Carrick (w4nk on big stage) and then played [and I kno the commontators hinted at it but..] Englands best forward on the wing, and the worlds best winger upfront. Go figure!?!

SAF is meant to be a genius tacticioner, but even Ronaldo after the game said the tactics were all wrong LOL!

Ronaldo's last game for Man Utd maybe.

I am a United fan and I believe this. Definately quite a few players last games.

The question that REALLY needs to be asked is . . .

. . . Who was that in front of the cameras at the post-match press
conference, & what have the Mancs done with the real Alex Ferguson ?

I mean, who are they trying to kid ?

Putting someone up there who states that they did not play well enough & that they were beaten by a better team !!

I hope that is right.

No ronaldo and no tevez and you are in trouble. well... no ronaldo and you are in trouble. liverpool will win it next year I think if you loose him as long as gerard and torres stay fit for longer than they did this season.

Infact, if ronaldo goes, I think i will have a little punt on 'pool.

Nor the 2 years prior.

Thankfully, my hangover is no more........

Barca won, we lost. End of. We really missed Fletcher on Weds night. Still, both he and Hargreaves will be available next season.

Ronaldo's last game for Utd? Nah!

However, methinks that the last of old guard (Neville, Scholes, Giggs) are now at the end of their careers. I think that Nani will be sold. I hope Tevez stays but I can't see it at the price being asked - Benzema will be available for less dosh. Ronaldo, Rooney, Berbatov, Macheda, Wellbeck all good and available.

Good young talent, much of it home-grown, (take note L'pool, Chelski and Arsenal) on the way through.....

Bad day at the office but still the team to beat. along with Barca too, of course
