When in Rome... (CL final 2009 - Man Utd Vs Barcelona)

A football topic.

My predictions:

1. A boring match.
2. If there are many united players/staff in the morning papers talking about victory, history etc, Barcelona will win.

Why is there buttock stabbing in Rome?

Manchester United fans are in Rome for the Champions League final. When English teams have visited the Italian capital in recent years there have been a string of fans stabbed in the buttocks by hooligans. But why do they target the backside?

Barcelona were simply the better team on the night. Fair play to them.

Jealousy maybe?

Not worth watching?

 

United did not play well at all. Its like a different team (maybe Lolerpool?) turned up instead.

Lol

I will have absolutely no idea.

 

our defense was really poor

they controlled midfield aswell, carrick n anderson were really poor!

tactically i think it wasnt spot on either

but if we took our chances it would have been a different story!

 

We lost AND got stabbed.

Thats it.

I am not anything buying Italian anymore.

You mean 'chance', singular.

Don't just do something! Stand there.

Sick of all the United supporters acting all gracious in defeat? Wanting to see them a little riled up? Well, not all united supporters are calm and collected:

Nigeria United fan kills rivals

A Manchester United football fan in south-eastern Nigeria drove a minibus into a crowd of Barcelona supporters, killing four people, police say.

Ten other people were wounded in the incident in Ogbo town, after United lost Wednesday's European Champions League Final 2-0 to the Spanish team.

A police spokeswoman told Reuters news agency: "The driver passed the crowd, then made a U-turn and ran into them."

He is now in police custody. Both teams have a large fan base in Nigeria.

"The man confessed to doing it on purpose," police spokeswoman Rita Inoma Abbey told the BBC.

"He now says he doesn't know why he did it, but it was an intentional act." ...
