This is it! The big one. Savour it. These don't come about that often. Only the 4th in our long history.
Everything falling into place. The kids did us proud today and the men got rested.
The next three days will seem like an eternity.
 
atleast add the routes to the final for both us and barcelona!
 
Hehe anyway can't bloody wait, such a great achievement to be here again and if we play like we can, we've got a great chance. :D

Ronaldo up front to trouble Yaya Toure's lack of pace at centre-back. Rooney on the left to terrorise the replacement right-back (Pique?). Might be worth swapping sides with Park if Messi is having too much joy - Park can double on him with Evra (who needs to have the game of his life). If we're not keeping the ball well enough, I'd bring Berbatov on for Park or Giggs, and shift Ronaldo out right to take on the average Sylvinho. The midfield also need to have the game of their lives. No sloppy wastage of possession, because we won't get it back.

This line-up.

Feeling oddly confident.
 
btw, i looooove how Barca have become the self-declared "neutrals' favourites"

have a look at this:

Yaya Toure says most neutrals will back Barcelona on Wednesday because they play beautiful football. The Ivorian star has an extra motive for beating Manchester United - he is out to avenge his brother's side's defeat in the last four.

Toure said: "Barcelona play beautiful football. Manchester United play with power. They are very physical. Everyone throughout the world wants to see beautiful football. It's like when Milan won the Champions League two years ago. Everybody was happy.

"In England everything is power and physicality. But Arsenal, like us, play the right kind of football."

'the right kind of football'...please!
