Champions League Final

[chaodck]

Now that we know that F.C. Barcelona is facing Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League Final; Who do you think will win?; How do you think it will win?

[JJU]

I honestly believe that Arsenal will get back to the way they've played in most of the knock-out stages and beat them 2-0, with Titi and Eboue getting the goals.

Anyone going near Paris in 3 weeks? I'm after a lift

lol nah sorry i also put arsenal to win but in extra time. I think that if arsenal can play at there very very best then, they play the best attacking football probably in europe in my opinion, then they can take barcalona absoloutly no pronlem at all.

arsenal doing so well has made me think,(first time for everything) the english press do have good uses. When you think about it, it seems to me that the way the press have talked about arsenal then its improved there chances same with the way it did last season.

Well after giving my vote I need to justify it. I said Barcelona by 1, so my result is that Barca will win 3-2, in a vibrating match. Titi will start the count for the English team, but Deco will tie the game just before the end of the first half. In the second half both teams will try and go for the game, and Arsenal will score early in it (Cesc Fabregas), and Barcelona will wake up and turn the match around with goals from Ronaldinho and Messi (if he doesn't play Eto'o will make it).

I know you are mostly English so y'all gonna vote for Arsenal, so this will be a great thread debate.

This two teams are the best playing teams ins the world, both teams play a wonderful offensive football, but the difference is gonna be the defense, Barca has Marquez and Puyol, two of the most solid defenders in the world, while Arsenal has Touré and Campbell, Touré is kind of clumsy, and Campbell is just returning from an injury. The edge for Arsenal is that they have the best keeper in the world actually in Jens Lehmann.

I think it will be a close and exciting match. 2-2 after full time, and another 1 from each of the teams in extra time, 3-3, and Arsenal winning on penalties.

I think that Barcelona is a bit stronger than Arsenal. Arsenal hasn't impressed in PL (Liverpool didn't last year either.). Both teams have great players like Henry, Ronaldinho, Lehmann, Messi etc., so it's gonna be tight!

i8 have to disagree about jens lehman though i think there are lots of better keepers cech buffon casilis etc

Arsenal will win it. I think Barcelona are the better team but so were AC Milan and Liverpool beat them last year. I have been made up watching Arsenal they have been a joy to watch and at times reminded me of Liverpool's campaign last season. I screamed my head off when Lehman saved that penalty on Tuesday as if Dudek saved Sevchenkos. I really hope they win it. BRING IT HOME ARSENAL!!!!!

p.s by the way Man Utd fans you still want Riquelme???? I bet ya Darren Fletcher wouldn't have missed that penalty!!!!

My post stated that Lehmann is best keeper in the world actually, which is not crazy, he is in his best shape ever, and the only keeper who can match him is Casillas I think. Cech?, Chelsea's not winning much games today as they were 6 months ago. Buffon? He's just coming out of a really complex injury and is just starting to play.
So I think both Lehmann and Casillas are the best GK in the world today, and Lehmann's boost of confidence given by Klinsmann (that he's gonna be a starter for sure in the WC) has put him a step up.

nah not lehman wouldn't consider him in the top 5 in the prem to be honest so world no way
1.Cech
2.Given
3.Van dar Saar
4.Reina
5.Nieme

[statto]

[Ace]

lol, we could make a new thread called: "Funny Transfers"

[Nando]

Some strange transfers happen in NSS3... Maybe a thread whit them would be fun....!

[Soha]

voted 2 goals more for barcelona. i like both of them, arsenal more, but barcelona have great offence and arsenal unexperienced defence. eboue and his mates are good but they still make some mistakes. it could cost a lot in match vs barcelona

[adam_the_scouser]

My top 5 prem keepers ( on games I have seen)

1: Cech
2: That Polish West Brom keeper. Ok they got relegated but what a shot stopper
3: Reina
4: Van der sar
5:Given
