Looking at the two finals on saturday , now i know finals are finals and having to go to Thomond Park and Wembley isn t easy  but it s clear to me that Leinster have been the best team in Europe by a mile in rugby this season and the same can be said of Barcelona in soccer ...... so without trying to upset the many die hard Man Utd and Munster fans out there i think Ladbrokes going 4/5 Leinster doubled with Barcelona at evens ( 90 mins )  might be a good bet this weekend ........ it might even be like doing Frankel and Sea the stars in a double at those odds !!!!! ......... And for those who might want to  go for the clean sweep add in Leicester 8/13 to beat Saracens in the Premiership final !!!!!
Pause Switch to Standard View Leinster / Barcelona

Leinster will win in a canter.  Derby games are always close but i honestly think they are a 10-12 point a better side.  No pressure on Leinster after last week.  I would hope utd sit back and defend for the game and frustrate Barcelona.  If they defend well i think they will win.

It all depends on what Leinster do, Munster have no control over the outcome of this game imo, if Leinster at 70% they will scalp em.

Similar story with Man U, can't let barca find a rythem, Hernandez needs to get after Pique, and somene needs to get close to Xavi as they are the two that start the caracel. Its really tough for united though as on ability Barca have a lot in hand, and Busquets and Iniesta are more than capable of dropping off and picking up possession if Xavi is tightly marked, it will be interesting to see if Messi drops into an attacking midfield role like he did in 09 and they overrun United like they did then.

Whatever happens, Barca will have around 70% of the ball and I just doubt whether United can be potent enough with so little possession

Mick, I agree on all three selections.  However Man Utd always score so Barca will have to score more.  I can see the hecklers getting at Giggs. And Rooney will need to put in a seasons best performance (something that cannot be assured).  Leinster are fired up for the Magners, and Leister are the best team in England.

I also will do wales to beat nirl 5/6 tonight and torquay to beat stevenage tomorrow 13/8

I think 4/5 is a bit short on Leinster at Thomond Park.

Can,t see beyond barca, paddys special  barca win in normal time stakes returned on markets i won,t normally play,correct score, goalscorer looks a good offer if opposing barca.
I,d expect to see them attack from the start,utd park the bus,5/2 ht/ft looks a fair play to me. Good luck with your bets

It's been BLUE BLUE BLUE all the way this month and let's hope it can be kept going. Mind you Man U did win the league . Sad

1) Dublin Hurlers. ( Super Dubs). Hammered the dream team Kilkenny in the league final.

2) Man City. ( Blue Moon). Won the FA Cup beating Stoke fair and square. That sign at last taken down from Old Trafford.

3) Leinster. ( Blue Magic). Took Northampton apart in the Heineken Cup last week after a slow start.

Still to come

4) 5 05pm ( To hell with Navan ) Leinster. They are going to take Munster apart to rack up a double in the Magners final.

5) Barcelona 7 45pm (They have a wee bit of blue!) Hopefully Messi and co will destroy the Red Devils and put Ferguson back in his box.

Let's hope it's not this Blue tomorrow CrySad. LaughCoolLaughGrinLaugh
