Man Utd - weakened team?

[curleyted]

Good start by Man Utd. Well done!

I'm a life-long united fan and, whilst I was disappointed that half the team just didn't show up for last night's final, I was mightily impressed both with Barcelona's supreme ability to retain the ball under pressure and their movement up front.

You lot obviously weren't cheering them on hard enough!

Ah right, you live in London then?

Nice to hear all the callers on Five Live blaming everyone else for the defeat.

e.g. "Barcelona aren't the real winners because they shouldn't have even been in the final" and "It's been downhill since the Glazers took over"

Actually, I think that they're making these calls up - they do know that games are decided over 90 (sometimes 180) minutes, don't they? And that they've won plenty since those Americans took over?

Sorry, I was watching the Apprentice.
