    Will that still be the case even though there are no games being played in England? I wouldn't have thought so.

    Why does the FA Cup final have to be a 5:15 kickoff rather than a traditional 3pm?

    ITV and The FA supposedly wanted it changed so they could pull in bigger crowds really as simple as that.

    Hasn't been 3pm for a couple of years now.

    The La Liga times had been provisional. The times get changed a lot over there, which makes it very frustrating when making travel arrangements. :P

    Yeah, I know the FA Cup games had been at 5:15 the past couple of years, I'd been wondering why they'd decided to change it in the first place. Initially thought it may have been because it was played on the same day as some PL games. Looper's explanation clears it up though.

    Worst Barca side in years according to Mourinho. Made final of Copa del Rey -lost narrowly. Lost to eventual Champions League finalists - but should still have won first leg. Could still yet win La Liga.

    And they've been considering sacking their manager for more than half a season! :eek:

    Man Utd apparently didn't consider sacking Moyes until February. Funny game this, soccer.

    You can see him have trouble changing direction at the end as the inertia from his gigantic balls kept his momentum going left.

    Looks like a keeper in a drop in match on Fifa 14 pro clubs.

    Any recommendations on where to watch this final game?

    I hear Murrays in O'Connell Street is were a few Spanish turn up for games.

    Anywhere else?

    Unless I saw wrong, the coverage starts at 4.30, so presumably they will show the start of the game. Id imagine the 3pm-5.15 thing is just for the regular league season?

    How long did it take to find "ç" when you were making that post? Was length of time it took to get the pronounced C worth it on a pretentious level? Do you think it had the desired effect in the attempt to say "Yo, I'm down with my Catalan homies"?

    I'd be more concerned with his blatant lie that bookies aren't taking bets on Barcelona.

    1.83 to win on bet365, Atletico are 4.50

    Must check the odds on A. Madrid to do the double, worth a few pound me thinks.

    more people backing them to win the league, more people backing atletico to win the match. bookies' odds are based on a combination of things, rather than just likelihood of something transpiring. It's why odds come down after a big bet or ten on things like next manager

    Yes but they are the same bet so same odds should be offered.

    They probably were at 8pm Sunday, but more people have made one bet over the other.
