Man Utd v Chelsea. Man United are favourites with the bookies

Thoughts and predictions please gentlemen.

Surely Roman Abramovich can pull some strings to put the Chelsea fans up somewhere/get the police to be a little over zealous with the Man U fans ;)

Anyways, the Moscow police will be rubbing their hands with glee about this. It's a bribe culture and they can usually find stuff to pull you up on. There are very strict rules about carrying documentation with you etc.

I should imagine that quite a few fans will be coming back with lighter wallets than they'd anticipated

ManUtd seem to like playing it with 3 wingers and 1 Half-Striker for this.

Manutd's players are in a war with Chelsea's ground staff. (distraction?)

Jose Mourinho 'taught' them how to win Manutd.

Chelsea beat Pool, Manutd, Ars recently.... Form is up. Trend is up.

Chelsea are Playing at Abramovich's Home Ground.

Grant already know what to play. While Fergie changes all the time.

Cristiano Ronaldo doesnt seem to produce as a striker.

Chelsea dont have a best player for Manutd to target.

I think, Chelsea !

It will all kick off in Moscow by both sets of fans and then English clubs will be banned from Europe for 5 years at the very least.

Well, at least we know that the Russian police force don't take any shit from anyone, and those fĂşckers who try to cause absolute carnage will be battered senseless.

I'm hoping that I have something better to do on that day.

Timesonline is so kind to proactively help the English Fans for Moscow... ;)

'I'm sorry, I don't speak Russian' (Pra-steetye, Ya ne govaryu pa-russki), 'two large beers and a shot of vodka' (Dva piva I ryoomkoo vodki pazhalusta), 'hey girl, what's your name?' (Devooshka kak vas zavoot?) and, should you run into problems with the Russian police, 'call the British Consulate' (Pah-zvaniti v britanskoye consulstva).

What's the Russian for "Help, I'm a British Citizen under attack by a Russian Citizen and since I know the Russian Government's lax attitude to such things, I would quickly like to be directed to the nearest border?" :angel::howler:

Upomoc, ja sam Engleski drzavljanin pod napadom Ruskog drzavljanina, i posto sam upoznat sa nemarnim pristupom Ruske vlade takvim stvarima, zeleo bih da me neko sto brze uputi najblizoj granici.

well, that's Serbian, but I'm sure the russians will understand you when you are getting your ass kicked by some hool. :pp:thumbsup:

Personally I'd much prefer Chelsea win the Champions League. I think it'll be 2:1 to Chelsea come the Moscow Final. Drogba & Terry to score for Chelsea & Tevez to score for Man United

Manchester United $1.70
Chelsea $2.10

according to TAB Sportsbet here in Melbourne, Australia. Don't see how that is, especially after Chelsea recently defeated Man Utd in the league. Both will have a full squad to pick from for the Final. Shall be an absolute corker to say the least.

If MU play the way they played against Barcelona then Chelsea will win. But this is a final and against an English opponent, may be SAF will play like they play in EPL? I just want the team who play better win.

Just judging from how they play in the UCL and Chelsea's incredible luck, I'd say Chelsea 3-2

United look too strong, but with the loss against Chelsea last week, it may have a pyschological effect on the players, which could lean in Chelsea's favour.

TO ANYONE GOING TO THE FINAL!!!!

At the Sheremetyevo International Airport, if they ask for bribes pay them by all means pay them, and dont give the slav fuks any lip either. They hate English and will go out of their way to make life diificult as much as possible.

This has disaster written all over it. Ive been to Russia and the airport security are the ****ing worst. The police on duty expect bribes every corner you turn. Dont carry any drugs or buy any drugs and

I went with some mates 18 months ago and refused to pay "special tax" so they took two of the boys and emptied their suitcases, kept them in airport detention for 3 hours (missing their flight, I stayed with them too) and they took all our duty free items too).

They are ugly as $hit I would like to mention also. However the women are gorgeous, until they smile.

Avysustanon everyone knows how right you are; was on a buisness trip a few months back and had to give over 500euro in the course of a month to cops. It's hell for foreigners-even thought I'm slavic.
