I voted for the Moscow Poe-leese. I think they have the upper hand out of the gate.

Hate to say this as I think it will be chelski - think about it - they have a Russian owner - the game is in Russia - the referee is no fool - the match will go into overtime - the last second - Drogba will do do his fainting act in the box - Lampard will score - lots of Vodka will be drunk - Man U supporters will all finish up in Treblinka

All English final, according to BBC News? With less than half the players British, I don't think so. lol

Well at least I got some of it right - Lampard did score - twice in fact and Drogba got the red one for slapping - he missed out on the Oscar for acting though - and lots of Vodka will be drunk - the ref was a bit slow at times - what a bad tempered game...game ?

Perhaps but I wouldnt say he had all that much better of a game. Both keepers made a stop in the penalty kicks and if it wasn't for a John Terry slip in the rain, Man U would have been the ones going home unhappy. Still, what a great run for ManU. Premier League and UEFA Cup Champions is pretty impressive. Too bad it will all just go to Wayne Rooney's head...
