Its all about winning on aggregate scores. Barcelona's away goal wont mean squat if we score more than them. We expect United to win this game, and I hope we see us win with a comfortable margin (2-0 or 3-1 would be good) as long as we attack and aim to score goals for 90 minutes.

THIERRY HENRY has delivered the ultimate insult to Manchester United fans by saying they do not compare to Liverpool’s.
The former Arsenal striker taunted Old Trafford’s prawn sandwich brigade by claiming the atmosphere at Anfield — the ground Red Devils fans hate the most — is much hotter than at United.
Ahead of Tueday’s Champions League showdown, Barcelona star Henry also claimed United will be feeling under enormous pressure after the weekend loss to Chelsea which threatens to ruin a season that promised so much.
He said: “Old Trafford is not like Anfield, that has an incredible atmosphere. It will be a crucial game for them after playing at Chelsea, especially knowing they won’t find it easy to play against us.”
United boss Alex Ferguson has blasted the club’s supporters in the past for not making enough noise on European nights.
And former skipper Roy Keane famously accused United fans of being more interested in scoffing prawn sandwiches than supporting the team.
United were criticised for being too defensive in the goalless first leg but Henry insisted they had simply been outclassed by Barca.
He added: “It was not a surprise to see United play like that.
“There were times when they wanted to play but they couldn’t. It’s not easy to come to the Camp Nou and play better than us. They wanted to but they couldn’t.”
Henry taunted Fergie by reminding him of United’s quarter-final loss to Monaco 10 years ago.
The French striker said: “I remember we drew 0-0 at home and people were saying we were out.
“But we showed you can score a goal at old Trafford and we finished 1-1 and we went through.
“Monaco are not one of Europe’s big clubs and to go to the semi-final and also score at Old Trafford was incredible.

“They were a different team but still Manchester United — they won the League that season.
“Now they have more players who are famous. But then they had Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David Beckham and Teddy Sheringham.
“This time I am confident we will go through if we play at our level.
“It’s true that in the second leg at Old Trafford we will see a different United. We will have more open spaces to exploit but they can also pose a threat.”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________ He probably forgot how OT is!!! and im glad we're NOT like Liverpool so to me this is a compliment!! When they played better? BASTARD!
bitch is going down tonight. i hope vida knocks him out.
How many of their players have to come out and try and get the psychological boost on us? I think just about every one of them has had something to say now.
they are scared! they think this is the right way to beat us! but they wrong!

Where's Keano when you need him?! I think that Vida should shove a prawn sandwich (or something fishy) up Henry's arse!

Henry's a dick. He's not even in the team, oh how it must hurt his fat ego that he's not even a major part of the fixture. No one gives a fuck about you Thierry, just run along now ..

Sometimes I wish Keano had not flipped on the fans (actually his comment was about the rich folks sitting in the corporate boxes) and that has left a rather dented mark on us ever since.

This match has now got me guessing. Man utd are not in form, nor are barcelona. In my opinion, the teams who dominates the first half will win. And i'm going to stop predicting now because whenever i do so MAn utd always lose! lol.

big night for players like tevez and anderson, I think anderson will rise to the ocassion tonight mark my words. He has put some big performances in, in big games this season. Big performances against liverpool and arsenal twice, in the cup he made fabregas look ordinary

Oh Henry, who really cares what you think about our chances? You've been a disappointment at Barca and weren't considered good enough to start against us. You'll have to try winding us up a little better than talking about Anfield's crowd, and "prawn sandwich brigade"? Seriously, you're showing yourself as a has-been more than you've already done on the pitch. Jog on and enjoy the match from the bench.

I'm not fussed if we lose, as long as we go down fighting. Unlike last season.

We took a lead to the San Siro, and could've gone through had we shown some fight. We went out without so much as a whimper. I'd rather go out 3-2 at home fighting than 3-0 away, and being played off the park likw we were some kind of pub side.
