I think it'll be tight - I'll go for a 1-0 Chelsea win.

I hope for some red card action and fighting like at the carling cup final to spice the event. I don't want a dull very tactical closed game

This is just to close to call for me. Both United and Chelsea have a great chance today and personally as a neutral i just hope that the typical "Big game syndrome" doesn't take a big hold today... Making the first cup final at Wembley a very boring, stale affair. Of course both teams will be cagey but i hope for a good game as it gets further in.

It's got to be one of the mosy boring first halfs ever.


Chelsea looking the better side I'd say though.

Poor football, poor commentary, poor pitch, poor atmosphere, poor spectacle - huge letdown.

Highlight of the half: Sun coming out again at 44:19mins.

I changed to Sky, I can't stand Motty.

It's been an awful first half, hopefully it'll get better.

the best two sides in the country eh ...a showpiece final they said . Well how wrong can they be judging by the first half ...both sides poor and not willing to up the pace it seems . Chelsea probably slighty better than Man Utd , Lampard ..a shot saved and a shot just over the top the only real action i remember . Rooney maybe unlucky to be called offside when clear on goal ..

The pitch does look a bit suspect ..not the usual great surface we expect from Wembley ..

Lets hope this is not the third successive FA Cup Final to be decided on penalties ..

All I hoped for was one patch of good football. From supposedly the two best, it's a major disappointment.

The Carling Cup final was more exciting in so many more ways.
