Exclamation Mascherano to play centre back??

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...ntre-back.html

Don't know if this is good or bad news tbh

Well, we thought them having to play Yaya Toure at CB would be a bonus to us last time, so there you go.

If their back four contains both him and a recovering Abidal then it's not going to be the strongest defence.

Could be interesting.

The mail article has got to be bullshit. Puyol will play, nailed on.

Is this Volcano gonna blow towards Spain?
It'll be a shame if they have to get the bus/train here.

on the plus side, good chance of free kicks around the box and the chance to see his tear-stained @#%&!ish face at the final whistle if we win.

on the minus side, we're generally shit at free kicks around the box and we'd have to put up with his grinning @#%&!ish face at the final whistle if we lose.

on balance, i couldn't give a toss tbh.

Mascherano at CB would definitely be a little plus imo.

Rash defence theyre going to have out. We need to start this match like a train.

Love to see Valencia against Puyol; can see him getting a card early on as he'll have no other way to stop him.

Just seen these good omens elsewhere and robbed them

English sides have beaten a Spanish team in European finals in 1971, 81, 91, and 2001


Origin of previous winners:
England 2005
Spain 2006
Italy 2007
England 2008
Spain 2009
Italy 2010
England 2011?


When we won the European Cup at Wembley in 1968, QPR were promoted from the old 2nd division


When United and Barca won previous European Cup Finals at Wembley, we were both classed as the away team. United are the away team this year.


Love a good omen me.

I’m ridiculously giddy about this...Saturday morning can’t come quick enough! Hopefully London will be invaded by hundreds of thousands of Reds.
