Fuckin ell - 3 days to go & I'm a wreck!

I've been trying to pick the team, but apart from VDS, the back four, Roon & Ron I'm struggling for so many reasons.

Anyway I feel compelled to pick the winners so here goes:

----------VDS----------
Wes---Rio---Vida---Paddy
---Carrick---Scholes---
Park---Andyson---Ron
---------Roon-------

Subs: PIG, Owen, Fletch, Giggsy, Nani, Teveth, Saha

Barring injuries, subs on the hour Owen for Scholesy, Teveth for Andyson, 10 mins later Giggsy for Park.

I reckon we'll do em, coming from behind with 2 late goals...I just hope we don't leave it as late as 99 in Barca!!

Hargreaves has to play in this game. It's the exact sort of game we bought him for; if he doesn't play than that just proves he was money needlessly spent.

His matchwinner v Arsenal would say otherwise

I have to say excitement is probably the better word, this could be a great day for the club, no reason to think of any bad thoughts, thus no needs for any nerves

The team picks itself I think, the only question mark is if Fergie will go with Park/Giggs or Tevez, I really hope it's the latter.

Not as nervous as for the PL. I'd say more anticipation.....this is a funny week....everything ending.....we're gonna be without United for some months after this week and that's what's ailing me right now.
I feel we're going to make history on Wednesday and I'm like a little boy waiting for Christmas.

Vidic accuses Drogba

United star hopes for strong officials

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has accused Didier Drogba of being a diver ahead of their UEFA Champions League final clash.



Vidic will lock horns with Drogba in Wednesday's showpiece in Moscow and the United ace hopes the officials will be aware of the striker's theatrics.


The giant Serbian Vidic believes Drogba exaggerates fouls to make defenders think twice before challenging him in the penalty area.


Pretends

"Sometimes he [Drogba] goes in very strong and sometimes he pretends he is weak. He plays with your mind and tries to make the defender think about the next tackle," Vidic told The Sunday Times.


"He can pretend he fell down to win a penalty, but referees know that. The Champions League final is a big game and I'm sure the ref will know his job.


"He's a great player and he's a top scorer. It's a hard job to stop him."


Vidic has already suffered at the hands of Drogba this season after being stretchered off with concussion during United's defeat at Stamford Bridge when Drogba accidentally kneed him in the head.


No blame

Vidic says he bears no grudges against Drogba following the clash which left him injured.


"He went for the ball and I don't think he wanted to kick me. It's in the past and I don't think about what happened in the past," added Vidic.


"I don't know if he said sorry. I remember nothing from those first five seconds after it happened, but he didn't need to apologise. When a player doesn't mean to kick me yet it happens, I understand that."

Mr Grant's last final with Chelsea was a bit of a tactical cock-up, lets hope history repeats itself.

Slovakian referee in charge in Moscow

Slovakian referee in charge in Moscow

UEFA have confirmed that Slovakian referee Lubos Michel will take charge of the Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea.

Michel, who turned 40 last week, was the referee who awarded a highly-controversial goal to Liverpool against Chelsea in the semi-finals of the competition in 2005.

Then Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho always insisted the shot from Luis Garcia had never crossed the line.

Michel is one of the top referees in the world, however, and is highly experienced having officiated at both Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup, including the tense Germany v Argentina game in the first knock-out round.

He also refereed the 2003 UEFA Cup final where Mourinho's Porto triumphed over Celtic.

Language barriers should not be a problem either as Michel speaks English, Russian, German and Polish as well as his native tongue.

At Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium on Wednesday, Michel will be backed by the assistant referees who have accompanied him at his major tournaments: Roman Slysko (34) and Martin Balko (36).
The fourth official will be Vladimir Hrinak (44), also of Slovakia.

The pitch is "below Premiership standard", according to Sky Sports.

Some of the guys giving interviews on SSN, are saying it's awful.
