    I've said before, it's not barcelona who annoy me really, it's their fanboys, people who act like they can do no wrong, and this thread is FULL of anti-man united, pro-barcelona crap, and yet you only criticised statements I was making, which I feel was because it was against the trend of pro-barcelona comments.

    What's this whole thing about Ferguson trying to ban a Journo for asking a question about Giggs?

    If it's about Giggs personal life, Ferguson has a right not to answer it, nothing to do with him. And if the journalist persisted, I'm sure it would make a manager trying to keep his players focused on the biggest match of the season angry.

    Apparently the journalist just asked how important he thought Giggs would be on Saturday.

    Personally, I'm hoping Giggs is left on the bench. Scholes is a better player than him and United are going to need his array of passing skills. Although, Fergie picked him ahead of Scholes the last time the two sides met...

    They have no chance. They will try to catch Barca on the break imo., Fergusshun will only play outright attacking football against teams that he knows have less skill. Barca will pound their goal, but I reckon It'll only be 2-0. And there will be a penalty.

    Hope its 6-0.

    Barca, being a very offensive side, are susceptible to the counter-attack, which just happens to be United's greatest weapon. This is all the more dangerous for Barca as United now have a striker capable of killing them without even needing to be involved in play. It's a great worry for Pep, who will be stressing over his selection decisions in defense. Does he go with Mascherano at CD or will Abidal be fit enough to play at LB, meaning Puyol can slide in next to Pique.

    Either way, it's going to be a fascinating contest. Barca's boys will need to keep on their toes!

    The opposite i'd say, United will be the ones who need to concentrate. I dont think they can afford to lose the first goal as Barca will then not give them a kick and wait on openings, where as if Utd score first it wont change, theyd probably sit back and Barca would be all over them.

    Barca will play their normal stuff, its Utd who will have to cope with them.

    Barcelona will just need to slow the pace down like they did against the scum.

    United will need to ensure they don't become dizzy following Barca shadows as they pass them to death. :56:But Barca won't go out flying, trying to break United's concentration. They'll wear them down, just like they do with every side. They have great endurance and self-belief. Fergie will need to drive his side on to annihilating their confidence. An early-goal would be huge.

    If Ferguson does manage to pull it off, could we call it the greatest feat of man-management, considering his squad and what he faces?
