    Totally ridiculous poll when involving teams not in the final.
    No offence to the OP but this is like someting my 5 year old and his class mates would poll on.
    Im a Liverpol fan but a football fan before anything else,may the best team win.
    Both great teams who have played the best football this season.

    Right this was already done at the start of the thread,getting a bit old now,only put Liverpool in casue of their involvement in the semi,no need to b1tch and moan about it in fairness!

    Im hoping for an early goal to get this game going. Im a neutral so it going into extra time would be good but not if its going to be a boring 0-0. Id settle for 1-1 :D

    As a united fan, I'm hoping for a 2-2 in normal time, then ET and penalties with united to win 5-4 with the little red monster knocking in the final penalty!

    As another Arsenal fan said to me today. "Who will I be sticking up for Chelsea or Man U? Thats like asking me who was nicer, Hitler or Hussein"


    :D

    Put Liverpool into it due to the fact they are also a British team,and that they have a very big fan base in both Ireland and here on Boards!

    So, how much involvement will the ref have tonight then ? Reckon there will be at least one dodgy penalty given tonight, is the linesman Russian ?

    I think Chelsea could be quite weak down the wings. I expect Evra to bomb forward a lot and so Cole could spend most of the time dealing with him while Malouda hasn't set the world alight. If United can dominate the midfield then they can starve Drogba of service. Big performances needed tonight from Carrick, Scholes and Hargreaves.

    Me.
    If United approach this one like they did the Barca game at the Nou Camp, I'll be asleep by half time.

    The odds are in favour of a poor game.

    Two English teams who know each other very well, in an uber-hyped final - bound to be dire.

    As Dunphy said unless there is an early goal can see it being poor

    Hope I'm wrong.

    Don't like the stadium. Athletics track is killing atmosphere.
    Doesn't feel like a final early on

    Pitch looks ok - play very scrappy - no-one getting any time on the ball - shocking number of balls hoofed long in the first five minutes.

    I know this is completely random but Chelsea have small letters on back of their jerseys. First ive seen any club lettering like this or am I wrong?
