United were the bookies favourites... Kevin, what do you think about John Terry spitting on Tevez? For some strange reason the press have down played this - I doubt that would have happened if Ronaldo had done the same to a Chelsea player. Is it not the case that we expect such awful behaviour from Johnny Foreigner, but when an English player does it the press are only to willing to brush it under the carpet? The whole episode is shameful. “A lot of people have tipped Chelsea”..oh really? United were the bookies favourites…

Gordon Burns is whipping up the people of the North West into a frenzy from the North west news studios on Oxford Road. As a Liverpool supporter, I'm finding it all a bit much and am feeling rather weak. From the look of the streets of Manchester, all the fans are still here.

The person quoted makes an excellent point: If you don't have a stake in the game, why should you spend a month's pay to watch a game with an 11 p.m. local start time. Just an absurd decision by UEFA to put its showcase game in this location. Here's hoping it's a peaceful day (Lord knows it's a long time to put down a few pints). http://startingeleven.blogspot.com/2008/05/champions-league-final-preview.html Pretty damning if the stadium isn’t full.

Rather than making a libellous statement can I ask whether a culture of bribery and corruption is apparent from what you've seen so far? On a serious note, it's being widely reported that the pitch, laid just 15 days ago, is not up to scratch. Any truth in this or don't they let young cub reporters near the stadium?

Actually, now I come to think about it, perhaps you're right and they're going to have a serious confidence crisis. I hope not, though, as I'm looking forward to a very close contest.
