You'd have to think Man U have a tad bit of momentum after winning the Premiership and it will be tough for Chelsea considering John Terry and Drogba are a little bit dinged up for the final. Despite this nobody knows what to expect of Chelsea because they've never made it this far in European competition so they are difficult to get a feel for going into this game IMO. All in all though i expect a Manchester United victory 2-1 and Sir Alex is going to win his 2nd UEFA Champions League trophy.

I am going to change my prediction, just slightly. United will score early and Chelsea will push for the equalizer and in doing so get caught on the counter. United over Chelsea 2-1 no extra time. This referee hasn't been kind to Chelsea in the past. Don't know if that will have any bearing but it's just one more thing for me hope helps United to a double. And congrats to Pompey for winning the FA cup, That should be an interesting Community shield in August. United and Pompey at Wembley. More silverware for Fergie.

Yeah, congrats to Pompey....but I really do feel for Cardiff City....they had a dream run in the tournament, played their hearts out and lost by a solitary goal. They were playing in their first final since 1927!!! I really did want the underdog to win.
But, congrats to Harry Redknapp.....the guy has toiled away for several years as player and manager with not much reward. Finally, he's got something to be proud of.
As for the Community shield, a worthless piece of silverware IMO  ..... Man U should win it fielding a second string squad! |

Yes it is a complete afterthought. And United should win with the reserves.
And today is the day. I am leaving work early so I can watch the match live. I have such high hopes for United. This could be a epic day and month. To watch United win the league and then the CL would be a great month. It makes up for the lack of Ohio State football. |

Yeah man....I am gonna do the same....this is gonna be a final for the ages! I really do like both teams, and being a neutral I would really like to see an open and clean game. I hope the game doesn't go into PKs.....it's no way for a championship to be won.
Good luck to all you Man U & Chelsea supporters! It doesn't get much bigger than this in European club competitions. Today's a day when legends can be born. |

Through the 26th minute, it's been a very uneventful game...
EDIT: 2 seconds later, Christiano Ronaldo Header for the 1-0 lead hahaha

Wow. That was one hell of a play by Terry to deflect a would-be goal in extra time.
