Like many others i expect a tight cagey game in which both teams will be reluctant to push too many men forward in the first half. Chelsea will be dangerous from free kicks and the height of Ballack and Terry and Lampards uncanny ability to score off deflected kicks will be something that United have to watch out for. The first goal will be absolutely crucial and we can hit them first i think we will have the mental strength to see the game through. Still, i have a nagging feeling this might go beyond 90 minutes and somewhere along the way a penalty will decide things. I'm happy that in the battle of nerves at least our boys go in knowing they are champions, i think that gives them a 1% advantage. But that's it. Chelsea have a good team and this will be a hard battle which I expect United will win -- but we need to play to our best and keep our concentration for the duration of the game. Ps. Ronaldo will have a good game. So too will Rooney and i expect him to score the goal that wins the game for us. ;) The mind games aside this game will be decided by who makes the least number of mistakes.

How can you not be motivated when you have the opportunity to win the biggest club competition in the world?! Complacency next season if win the big 'un I'd expect but complacency going into the final?!?!

Like "Tote", I expect a cagey game. The first goal might be the only goal. But after the first goal breaks the ice then all hell should break loose.

Its hard to judge if it is better being more relaxed comming into a final is better preperation than feeling under more pressure Pos for us feeling more relaxed would be better as we may now knock the ball about better with some wait off our shoulders. We played Barca away looking like a side under pressure but did not perform so maybe now we will go out and show chelski a master class of high tempo classic Englishfootball.

But honestly, it's all a load of rubbish. Pressure is pressure is pressure and it is on both teams - that's why i expect a cagey game. I would hope that we are not 'relaxed' as Rooney put it - but i'm sure we're not! All a load of rubbish - but atleast it gives the press something to write!

I hope he will try to keep them a lot more loose for this game. What I wonder is which United will we see the bomb ass goal scoring hardasses of the Premier league or the defensively tighter than five virgins in a volkswagon counter attacking grinders they have been in the CL. I don't really care which they go with, they can beat them either way, I just wanna win!!!

Losing means you're pumped for revenge, bitter..want to get your wn back, seen other team celebrate, hence get your payback..hence very up for it. On other hand, you can be nervy, tense and apprehensive losing 1 final, confidence may be a tad low..a bit worried of finishing with nothing. Winning tiitle may mean we are more rellxed as roon put it, 1 in the bag, play with enjoyment and freedom. May not be as pumped as them. However winning breeds confidence and confidence can play such a huge part in life....esp mentally. The psyche and mind are a very fragile thing...small things can alter your thinking, mood and body energy and belief. Id rather be in our position ofcourse..as shoulders should be less tense..even though this i feel for us is a bigger game for us than them. Saying all that though..we won title last year and lost fa cup. So none of the complacency, relaxed factor etc may matter both have pros and cons..
