[ruixist]

im pretty high on caffeine right now, haha so i wont be sleeping before the game!

 

[jeepers]

ooooooo ruixist i need a wake up call. please please please please please! just call, i wont pick up.

note: i missed the ac - liverpool final couple years back even though my friend gave me like 42 missed calls. heh.

BUT i've got two alarm clocks and two handphones with bloody irritating alarm tones set!

 

[tim098]

jeepers it appears we both have the same sleeping problem. When i cant wake up, not even a shotgun shot beside my ears could wake me up. Thats why im not gonna sleep before the match.

 

[zullio]

^ same here.. not proud of it but yeah. i think if ever got earthquake i still wont wake up.

 

[matt-muser]

one more hour to the start!

 

[ruixist]

wa exciting sial. im still awake on caffeine and trying to do math. just under an hour to kickoff now!

 

[tim098]

AN HOUR?!?! NO WONDER IM ALWAYS LATE FOR EVERYTHING!!!! all my clocks are timed like freaking 15 minutes late.

I wonder if nani is gonna start. in the last match when he came on the game really changed. Im liking nani more and more each passing game

 

[zullio]

im still on the fence bout nani.. but it was the same feeling during ronny's first season. so yeah..

im really hoping that the defence doesn cock-up..

 

[tim098]

YA i hope the defence is solid today. Even though barca were a shit team in the league i think they are still one of the greatest clubs there is right now. Thank god vidic is back from injury man

hahaha time to reset those clocks, dude.

nani is progressing, which bodes well for next season, definitely.

zullio, i really hope the defence protects van der sar well man..and brings the ball upfield..it's gna be one fierce away game.

 

[zullio]

tim098: yup. vidic is da man! haha

ruixist: yah, vds needs to be well protected or else..


now, im just hoping i dont fall asleep halfway.

 

[ruixist]

Thank god vidic is back from injury man

but i read on soccernet that he's still doubtful for the game leh..something about a stomach problem :/ but i think tt was yesterday, hopefully he's fine already! although he shouldnt play if he isn't fully fit..dont wanna push a player now that there are more crucial games other than this one coming up! (think chelsea in the weekend)

Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville enjoyed a nostalgic training session on Tuesday evening when they returned to the scene of their greatest night in a red shirt.

The veteran duo - both European Cup winners at the Nou Camp in 1999 - were among 22 players put through their paces on the eve of the Champions League semi-final first leg against hosts Barcelona.

If Neville plays on Wednesday, he'll complete a century of appearances in the Champions League proper, as will Paul Scholes - sadly an absentee from the '99 final through suspension. (Qualifying matches are excluded from UEFA's statistics).

On the injuries front, it was good to see Anderson, Owen Hargreaves and Edwin van der Sar all fully involved in training after missing Saturday's draw with Blackburn. Wayne Rooney suggested he'll live up to Sir Alex's expectation and be fit to face Barca, despite receiving a knock at Ewood Park.

Darren Fletcher trained separately from the main group, as did Wes Brown, with the only absentee being Nemanja Vidic. However, the Serbian centre-back said on Saturday that he was "ready for the next game" and nothing was said to the contrary at the pre-match press conference he attended with Sir Alex Ferguson on arrival in Spain.

i think there'll be a number of not-fully-fit players on the field today, barca included..

 

[tim098]

hmm.. messi is just back from injury too so theres still hope for him not to be at his best. haha. gonna be a great game i hope

 

[ruixist]

watching espn now...haha they just showed a few seconds of that glorious final 9 years back..gosh! can't believe its their first time back at the nou camp since then..

 

[ruixist]

tevez up front, ronaldo behind up and rooney on the right? iiiinteresting. and no vidic ah, really..alright, here's to a good 90min!

glory glory!
