It is only in darkness that you find light

It is only in despair that you find hope

It is only in defeat that you find defiance

February February 6 1958

For The Babes - For George Best

Be relentless and Believe it so

And when you are down and you are beaten and you are bruised and it hurts:

Stand up and rise

This is the United way

And when they spit at you and they shout - when they throw shit at you and when they ridicule you - when they abuse you and when they mock your dead

Stand tall and remind them that Manchester United will never die

19 is not only a number it is now not even destiny. It is our history that we now own.

I can't get philosophical like MG, but I will paraphrase another Rocky line in case the team goes behind tomorrow:

"Get up you son of a bitch! Because MG loves you." :)

And when the gauntlet is thrown down it is not in the DNA of Manchester to run away from the challenge

We accept it - we are the bearers of greatness of heroes that fell for us of dreams that they took with them for us to complete bit by bit piece by piece

Forever in the shadow of The Busby Babes and proud.

Youth Courage Success

We stand on the shoulders of Giants - Giants who made this club unbreakable.

You can do whatever you want and say whatever you want to us but you will never break our spirit

Costas - united are like rocky against drago, he has none of the backing. And united are the rocky in rocky 1, no one gives united a chance in hell. In everyones eyes we have no chance what so ever, no one wants us to win and this is where I believe we will win it, we always do it against the critics

I fucking love Manchester United May 27, 2011
Pumped up Reds.Cant believe tomorrow is the night.!

I hope we win and smash Barca to bits.
As @MG said do it for the babes.We are everything because of them.
For sir mat Busby,The babes,the holy trinity , the king,Class of 92, the treble,for you,for us,for pride
But MOST importantly
:Sir Alex Fergurson

Do it the United way. Let tomorrow's performance be an answer to those who called this team the worst ever.
Do it for 19

Believe
P.S:I want rooney to carry around a couple of tissues so that whenever Biscuits and Pedro act as if they have been shot he can shove one on their face.
And i bet they are shitting their panties already.Can you imagine Pedro rolling around?rio would pick him up like he did to torres

Glory Glory Manchester United.

The idiot jamie redknapp expects barca to win, which makes tommorow night a game where we have nothing to lose. For me fergie has got something up his sleeve, he has seen something all of us have failed to see, do not know what it is, but the boss knows

MG is obviously the chief motivator. I'm not as good as he is. All I can say IS COME ON BOYS!!! I believe in you if no one else does. We ate United believe in you if no one else does. We know things they don't know so they can think what they want. Go out there give it your best and i am satisfied. I believe that we WILL ( not can WILL) beat barcelona tomorrow. COME ON UNITED!!!!

100 years ago, United won the league (for the second time).

55 Years ago United won the league (for the 4th time) and played their first European Cup match.

20 Years ago United beat Barca in the Cup Winner's Cup Final.

There's a nice symmetery about all this, but that doesn't really mean anything more than standing as a reminder that the United players are part of an illustrious history. They have a chance to add to it in a glorious manner, fulfilling Matt Busby's futuristic dream of international club football. Even he probably didn't think United would be watched by 300 Million people worldwide on TV, but the thought would have brought a benign smile of satisfaction to his weary old face. His mind would have turned to those who died in pursuit of his dream, and we should remember them too. Their contribution is part of what makes us all United.

@MG

The kebab pledge has already been realized. This is something bigger than that. We have to rectify something that has been eating at the manager like very few things have. He's been thinking about this game for 2 long years. Time to set the record straight.

@FITB

I think there's a simarity between this UNited team and Rocky. We are not too flashy or flamoyant. We just get the job done no matter whan other teams throw at us. And this will truly be a Rocky-Drago affair.

Costas - I call it a cross between the drago and rocky 1 fights.

Critics point of view in rocky 1, we have no chance what so ever, the critics even call; rocky a joke, a bum from the streets, much like everyone makes fun of this united side, even calling our title success undeserved, and basically the worst united side in history. Even ojne critic that one united fan highlighted this on ROM, (uniteds title success this year 2010/11, was like greece winning euro 2004, thats how much the critics give's us a chance.

the crowd point of view in rocky 4, everyone is against rocky, they chant all sorts of shit at rocky, he has no support but his coaching staff family and his fans. Much like united, but this time its on steroids, not only do barca have the spanish media on barca's side and pridictions, most of the english media and pundits are very much pro barca and they give united no support what so ever, we are on our own in this fight to win big ears.

Two face said everyone's future or destiny is down to chance 50/50, everyone has a chance. In everyone's eyes outside of Manchester United, there is no chance we will win it, we have no 50/50, we have no chance in their eyes. Hell will freeze over before we win big ears. I have said this, no one can write off a ferguson football team, let alone write off a united ferguson side. Every united ferguson side or ferguson side has a chance 50/50

Born just a month after the 1968 triumph at Wembley so that makes me feel emotional about this final. I always fear the worst and hope for the best and I don't think United have been the underdog before a game like we are ahead of this since we played Forest away in the 3rd round of the FA Cup in 1990.
We have seen the likes of Milan and Juventus and Real Madrid dominate before where they had an era of success. For me Barcelona look likely to be the next club to have such an era but they are not playing their 3rd final in 4 years like we are. I am extremely proud of the lads and the club cause in a season when we did not dominate or even entertain like we have gotten used to we still won the league and got to the CL final.
We have lost trophies along the way but in order to win you also have to lose a few and it is the ability to pick up trophies that make United stand out even though the world is saying we are shit. On Saturday it is business as usual and we once again take on the world which is against us but that is what makes being a United fan so unique and interesting.
Win or lose they have made us proud and Fergies plan to make United play final after final in Europe has come true. On a personal level I feel that beating Chelsea in 2008 was far more important than ever beating Barcelona and this is the toughest game any United side have gone into and I wish them the best with all my heart and soul.

@ WAYNE,JUST BECAUSE I SHARED WHAT I SAW THE SAME WAY YOU SHARE YOUR TRANSFER RUMOURS MEANS I WANT TO ATTRACT ATTENTION? LAUGHABLE!!! You have your opinions and everybody has theirs, I only shared what I saw the SAME WAY YOU share your transfer rumours too and post some articles which in some cases too are outrightly ridiculous. So it should not be a problem for You afterall Before games like this, You cant expect perfect info in all cases. Thats why I stressed it that its ONLY RUMOURS that were making rounds online, the only reason I shared it was a lot of people (diff sources) were coming up with the same thing

@Dandivine7

chill mate! wayne said "some people twitter dribble just to attract attention". As long as you were not the one who twittered these rumours, he didn't mean you.

Guardiola says, "We will put on a show". Ofcourse they will. Those Olympic Divers might have practiced pretty well. Seems the Barca players have been practicing at the pool for 2 days straight perfecting the art of diving! Bitches!

Came across this poem that i think is rather apt for today and the state of football in general right now -
"I grew up hearing the stories of George Best’s former glories,
And watched my uncles contest with a fury,
Over Maradona’s finesse and Pele’s scoring,
I remember when Bobby Moore had passed away,
And from the tears that were glistening in their eyes,
As they reappeared they made me wistfully realize,
That there’s so much more to this beautiful game,
Than just the money and the prize,
So much more than the endless scandals that are run,
To quickly fill headlines,
So much more than the designer sandals picked by footballers wives.

I’ve seen Roger Milla’s left kick uplift an African nations pride,
And Paul Gascoigne performing skillful tricks that made grown men embrace and even cry,
You can’t deny the passion of the charmer that brings this charm into our lives,
Sometimes 90 minutes in the game is all you need to feel alive."

Come on boys! It's yours for the taking.

Greetings Rai & Costas on this auspicious day. I couldn't sleep last night, as someone else has said, like a kid before Xmas. I kept worrying about those players who'll get left out, not even reaching the bench. Imagine how that would feel. I went through every possible tactical formation and every option for subs. One solution would be to risk Van der Star not getting injured and not have PIG on the bench, which would free up another outfield place. O'Shea could be a goalie sub as well as cover for the whole back 4.(Might be better than PIG after his Blackburn display) For the bench I want to give a boost to 'the future', young players like Smalling, Anderson and Evans, whilst also rewarding older players for past contributions such as O'Shea and Scholes. I'd even like Owen on the bench for that 'important goal' he feels he's gonna score. I never rresolved it as I went through it over and over . I don't envy Sir Alex having to make those decisions. Actually I do!
