That goal was worth more than any monetary sum. The release of emotion was fantastic - all the past semi-final heartache, the will for Fernando to succeed, the jubilation of reaching the final. You can't put a sum of money on that.

Looked to me like a pull rather than a tear, so I would imagine he will miss the QPR & Newcastle games as a precaution (maybe playing 15 minutes at the end of the latter), and then be fit for Wembley.

Where Barca belong, in the dirt. I hope Platini is crying like a little bitch.

His passing awareness still annoys me. My Dad was the first to point this out in his very first season; he has a habit of playing passes into danger areas. For example passes into players surrounded by the opposition. He needs to learn to clear the bastard thing rather than try and play out from the back and maintain 90% pass success rates.

Gutted he'll miss the final, what a good player he is. Not particularly brilliant at any midfield job - but competent at them all.

^ I totally agree, but he put in a shift on Tuesday and will be remembered as one of the Nou Camp Heroes.

I don't think YouTube allow video length that great to be submitted

Drogba would be a good shout, never seen a man win so many headers defensively or offensively.

Strike you are learning fast

Yeah definitely a poor choice of words, but I honestly think if you take Robben and Ribery out of their team they would struggle. I would definitely prefer playing against Bayern rather than Real, though, so I'm happy with the result. It will be a tough game still.

I don't, would be completely unjust if he was to lift the cup, he doesn't deserve the chance to. It should be Didier and Lampard who lift it, before passing it on to Robbie and Eddie, then Ash and Cech.

The first one FB posted.... "FUCK YEAH, FUCK YEAH, FUCK YEAH, FUCK YEAH, OH GOD!"... sure I've heard something similar to that before.

United tried to do the same when Darren Fletcher missed the 2009 final because of a ridiculous yellow card.

Ivanovic deserves to be in the final more than most, so naturally I'm gutted for him. He is Mr. Consistent. At least his suspension will be served by the time we play in the Fack Up final.

^ good, blue socks are generally bad luck for us.

Also, we did not play negatively. We played defensively. There is a difference; we in fact played positively as we only had ambitions to win the tie.

There have been a lot of retrospective positive comments for sure, but initially there was also a lot of criticism. In general I think they actually want us to achieve.

Welcome to the forum!

Don't be pissed off Greg. That happens to me all the time. The great thing is, you remember all the good parts from the original article and end up writing an even better one.

Praying Bayern win tonight, because they're distinctly average.

We should try and appeal the decision anyway.
