Chelsea fans were a thoroughly good bunch on the last day of the league season so that helped sway me. Oh, alright, there wasn't ever going to be any doubt, I tried to kid myself earlier in the season that I just don't hate United any more, and then it all came back to the surface in the final few weeks of the season, come on Chelsea!

In answer to the poll question, I'd actually quite like Bolton to win the Champions League Final. :mrgreen:

Woo hooo. Result. The pub at the bottom of my street, a pub so grim that I never go in, has just been bought by one of these chains. Anyhow, they've gutted the place and made a belting job of it. When I got home from work tonight there was this thing on the mat saying: Come and join us for the CL final - Here's two tokens good for free beer :pissed:

I don't care really and have not voted. I suppose if pressed I'd probably favour Chelsea, mainly as I don't know any Man Utd fans and only one cyber-acquaintance who has followed his blues for decades but who doesn't now attend 'The Bridge' because of the ticket prices - plus I feel for Grant with all the flak he's had to put up with since he took over as manager.

At the moment I'm pondering as to whether or not to crawl out of bed an hour or so early at four in the morning to watch the game. It's on free-to-air rather than you're-free-to-pay so that's one tick in favour. I reckon this could be a cracker of a game or something so dour it'll send me back to sleep, with little chance of it being merely entertaining. The timing for most of you lot would, I guess, be a little more fortuitous with enough time for you to battle through traffic, stop off to pick up a few cans (or a bottle of whatever takes your fancy) and the odd pie or two and still get home for kick off.

Not really bothered, doubt I'll show much emotion if/when either team score, that's only likely if the likes of Rooney or Ashley Cole miss an open goal.

Suppose I'd rather Chelsea won it as I'm likely moving back to the NW.

Dunno about who I "want" to win but I just have a sneaking suspicion that Chelsea might nick it.

Wonder if the ref will give any penalties when not swayed by a home-crowd atmosphere?

Most certainly is TD, adds to the enjoyment if Chelski win however. I'll be making a sharp exit if it goes the other way

Should Chelsea come through I'll make sure I have a bit of a laugh at your James as well :mrgreen:

Come on Chelski. Lamps to score in a 2-1 victory.

Best result for me would be a dire 1-0 win for Chelsea.

Serious injuries to Ashley Cole & Rio Ferdinand.

500 Utd fans shipped off to Siberia for the foreseeable

On the whole though - who really gives a to55?

To my eternal shame, yes. Serve him right. He should support a decent team. :evil:
