Patriotism dictates that I should want Arsenal to win. The logical choice is Barca though. However I predict Arsenal to win on penalties.

I don't see why, as most (all? ) of their players come from somewhere else than Britain.
My vote goes to Barcelona.

Since fellow Dutchmen Johan Cruijff, Joan Neeskens and Rinus Michels led Barcelona to many national and international successes in the Seventies, I am a Barcelona fan. A few years ago I even attended the 'clash of the titans' Barcelona against Real Madrid in a sold out venue at Camp Nou, what an unforgettable experience, so emotional with Johan Cruijff as coach and Ronald Koeman and the 'angry young man' Stoichkov, eventually Barcelona won with 1-0 (header by Nadal).
So again with an obvious Dutch touch (coach Frenk Rijkaard and player 'Gio' van Bronckhorst) I go for Barcelona but I am a bit concerned about the shape of Ronaldinho (too much circus, very few decisive moments) and E'to (he misses to much chances) in the last weeks. But real stars shine at the right moment so my vote goes to Barcelona, 2-1 !

Yes Man Made God, I am an Ajax fan, a bit Freudian to forget a certain Mark Van Bommel while I saw him playing two Barcelona games on the ESPN satellite sports channel during my holiday in Aruba, he played very dynamic and adventurous and should be in the national team !

Even though I'm a West Ham supporter I'd like to see them win it but common sense tells me Barcelona. (I don't care as long as West Ham wins the F.A Cup )

I like english teams, so I'm supporting Barcelona.
I f*cking hate Wenger. Calling people xenophobic when they criticize him for refusing to pick englishmen. What a knob.
