Neutral voting for Chelsea.
I prefer the way they play. Man U always go on and on about how they play the best football, but they only do against weak sides, or games which are not important. When it comes to important games, they play the most negative football I have ever seen.
Its a little more complicated than that, long story short one of the season tickets that the ticket was booked on belongs to one of the 3 lads my brother always travels with now passed on mother. With the "ticket is your Visa" thing and not being able to get a get a hotel room to get a "real" visa they assumed that he would not be able to get into the country on the ticket.
Now when the ticket arrived it DOESNT have a name on it so it would have been ok but he didnt book his travel and now its too late, so they have this spare 120 ticket that no-one can use.
Selling it in Moscow would be asking for trouble but all the people he normally offers "spares" to cant sort out travel without notice and this lad i now asking my brother to try and "get him his £120 back" by selling it at the ground.
Frankly I think my brother should tell his mate to bite the bullet rather than risk trouble selling it but what can you do, my brother doesnt want to leave his mate out of pocket but I really dont want my brother in a russian jail cell.
And thats the short version :S
Neutral fan hoping Chelsea will win.
I hate Man U, fact.
At a guess, from your European games? Where your manager has been too scared to play real football against the likes of Barca and Roma, and has stuck to fairly defensive and stifling formations in both legs.
I actually think Chelsea have started to play some nice football recently. Admittedly I've not seen many of their games (no reason to), but against Newcastle they did seem to play it about a bit. Ballack is a much more technical player than Lampard, so I think his presence in the middle of the pitch ahs helped them in that respect.
(a minor point but Chelsea havent yet beaten Man Utd full 1st XI)
