I was really worried the first 10 minutes but after eto's goal all things went well. SAF made some major mistakes! He was too busy trying to exploit barca's "weak" backline that he gave the midfield away... big mistake against Inesta/ Xavi. Also, barca's "weak" back four did very well

Please reminds us all again what did Liverpool have to celebrate this year? Last year? The year before? Wait, save for one CL final, what did they have to celebrate for the past who knows how many years? Rafa spent more than SAF buying players and has nothing to show for it (CL was won with a team he inherited and then dismantled). NADA. And yet brain challenged owners rewarded him with a new 5 year contract. Seems failure is rather the norm and is expected at 'Pool these days.

If anything, as much as I dislike Liverpool, I said dislike and not hate, I would have been cheering for an ENGLISH team had Liverpool, Chelsea or any other EPL team played in the final.

That is what separates true United fans from those of Liverpool...

Do you think my hatred for Man U is based on what you've won recently, and we haven't? Odd. Your description that 'faliure is the norm' at liverpool just goes to show that if you don't win trophies you must suck, despite, progression in league position. Ah well, I suppose you remember all that silverware SAF brought you in his first 5 years in charge, eh? Alex Ferguson has spent 22 tweaking his Man U squad, and his top flight English football tactics. I seem to remember he won.... er... wait.... the same as Rafa in his first 5 years? If you aren't gonna count the CL! FA Cup victories for both Rafa and SAF... why is he still with you? Ah crap, you forgot all about that didn't you. Typical glory hunting prawn sarnie brigade... like to bash other managers for a lack of instant results, yet it took yours 5 years to get you any real ones. As for money spent... well, what can I say, no Rafa hasn't always made the best decisions, but then neither has SAF.... Was Berbatov really worth 30+ mil? Have you all blocked Veron out? While Liverpool fans are often accused of looking through the rose tinted Anfield glasses, as least we don't think our team or manager is perfect. F**king great, admittedly, but not perfect.
