"Whatever happens tomorrow, it won't be a patch on Istanbul 05" ...Chelsea win 5-4 with four red cards, Ronaldo hat trick all from 30 yards...but Istanbul would still be better? I take it you're a liverpool fan.

Why will it be dull? I don't understand why people complain when the best two teams meet in finals, people seemed so happy that Pompy and Cardiff made the FA cup final so it 'wouldn't be as dull as last year'. Nonsense. This seasons FA cup final was entertaining, but it was distressingly short on quality.

What would you rather, a Spurs vs Newcastle crapshoot - or the current best two teams in europe at the top of their game competing for the highest honour?

And Hen - nice article, but Essien the key man for Chelsea? Surely the 'Drogs Bollocks' will have something to say about that?
