good options from the bench

same team as yesterday and schalke away basically - with whatever enforced changes necessary. think the only difference was o'shea coming in yesterday for evra but no real imperative for a big lad v barca.

can't wait to see that slow lanky @#%&! pique exposed for pace v pea. must be the most over-rated defender in the world. early sending off for mascherano.

crowd will be the 12th man for United.

impossible. If anyone gets sent off it will not be a barcelona player. They are very cunning at what they do.

Got me thinking. Giggs made some excellent, excellent tackles yesterday. Nicking the ball with a stretch. Instantly made me think of what a Barca player would do in that situation.

Agreed

Is a bit weird for Nani (Berbs must be getting used to it by now...) but they are great options off the bench.

It's a team game, hopefully they see it as that

Without wishing to sound hysterical those kinds of tackles (from behind but only touching the ball, perfectly legal) would be met with histronics and group harrasment of the referee. In short they just won't be acceptable.

we're going to have to box very clever against that lot because they'll be in the ref's face from the word go screaming for bookings and red cards.

who gives a flying £#%&!, play like we did yesterday and it's going to be 19+4

I hope that we just let them do it as well and don't get involved

Same as yesterday.
I think we'll beat them.

UEFA are investigating the alleged racism of Busquets towards Marcelo in the CL and could ban him for 5 games.

UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against FC Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets, who is alleged to have violated Article 11 bis of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations by directing racist abuse towards a Real Madrid CF player in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg between the clubs on 27 April.

The proceedings have been launched on the basis of evidence provided by Real Madrid (video and statement of club and player). The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body will deal with the case on Sunday 15 May and the decision will be communicated to the club on Monday 16 May.
