He said "you may be" Bit of a difference, don't take things to heart.

Deserved win, outclassed on the night. Can't say I'm disappointed, infact, I'm delighted. Great game from Barca and their passing was just too much on the night. Xavi is just on another level from all other midfielders.
Also thought Evra and Giggs had pretty poor games, and Park possibly didn't do as well as expected.
And lol at Fergie's hands shaking in anger
Giggs was very disappointing I thought, but no wonder after the exciting week he's had. I honestly thought after the first 10 minutes that United might win it, their pressing was terrific. But alas they did not have enough gas in the tank like Barca who pressed all game when they didn't have the ball. The goals were stunning, the game was excellent and I really enjoyed it 
Well as a neutral, gutted Utd lost. But they can have no shame. They reached the final, with injuries, constant adjustments, and just had the unfortunate consequence of facing Barcelona. You simply cannot play badly against Barcelona (unless you're Evra who had a mare at times)-they simply outclass other teams in terms of quality that makes you LOOK bad.

Park did alright. Ran after every Barca player that came near him.
Giggs was marked and couldn't get into the game.
Evra was quite poor I agree.
Congratulations to Barca and they are simply amazing. Tough look for United to come up against such a brilliant team on two different occassions, when if they had faced any other team they could have been 3 time UCL chamions in 5 years.
People in a few years are gonna say SAF didn't learn from the 09 final and played the same midfield to get butchered again. Only a few people will remember, he didn't have other options. The midfield was butchered in the first half and I thought at least Valencia would be subbed off after the first half.

not even sure what t say about Evra tonight, his positional play was suicidial at times, nothing to do with even being worked out of position
We lost the midfield war convincingly. Giggs + Carrick just isn't enough for the midfield trident of Barcelona. I absolutely love Giggs, but he had been below par this game. I thought we should sub Fletcher/Scholes on for Chicharito during the half time to balance it out in the midfield, but oh well. Messi is out of this world as well. We played the best that we could, but that probably isn't even close to be enough to cause an upset over Barcelona. They're rightful winners and we're outclassed. We still can go out with our heads held high though, our "worst" team in over a decade had managed to get into the final of UCL, and that itself is quite an achievement for me.
Strikers thrive on the service provided by Midfield.
Not to start an argument, but didn't you JUST say that he made a mistake? Now you say he didn't?!

Thing is, he ran after them but wasn't putting them under pressure.
Yep, Giggs was outplayed on the night, not a good game at all.
Valencia was pretty poor also.
Yes, but they also have to stay onside and at least go hunting for the ball when they dont have it rather than sticking on the shoulder of the last man all game
kind of what he was setup to do tonight, stick on the shoulder and test masch, we just didnt get the ball to him anywhere near enough
I said in hindsight people would say he made a mistake and it was more of a question. And I also wanted a sub to be made at half time wtih either Valencia for Nani or Fletcher for Chicharito.
