Looking forward to this one. I'm going for an upset. I see that coverage on Sky commences at 6pm, is that right? For a 7.45 kick off? Will it actually just be Carragher and Neville going at it for an hour and 45 minutes?

Can't decide what I want from this.

Real lose =good but ancelotti gets sacked and we get to endure a whole summer of links and excitement before he signs for some Qatar based side and we get Chris Hughton.

Real win = Bale and Luka win. That makes me happy like a proud father. Downside of course is that Real win and the rest of our players decide they want a transfer there.

Might just not bother!

if you see skysports saying coverage starts at 6, then yep it will start at 6....:whistle:

they will have highlights of both teams passage to the final and other rubbish before It just like any other cup final.

Very much looking forward to this one, really hope Atletico win as this will probably be their last chance as I'm sure they will get gutted this summer. I also think Carlo will stay for one more season regardless.

You mean he will choose to stay or the club will choose to keep him? Can someone just inform me why the media think there is a good chance he will be fired? A man as good as him?

As in they wont fire him, i think if he doesn't deliver next season then they will show him the door but not after this season even if they loose to AM. Many people seem to think he is a gonner if RM loose.

Would like to see Real win for Bale and then make a statement thanking Spurs haha.

A long shot but does anyone know a tv channel in Egypt that's showing the game? Practically in the desert looking for any bit of football!!

I found a bar in Luxor that showed live football. That's probably not much help though.

I'm in Fayoum, south of Cairo. Currently hidin out in a shop because the Muslim Brothehood protesters are going round shooting people.

anyone hear souness just now? they were discussing madrid's weaknesses and he said the main one is modric, he then basically called him a nothing player saying he doesn't score, doesn't assist, doesn't tackle and is more suited to five a side :facepalm:

Diego Costa starts- that is just scary.

A fucking hamstring TEAR a week earlier and is expected to be out for 2 weeks but instead he gets some horse placenta put on it and he's fine.

I reckon it could end badly for him and he could end up being taken off and missing the World Cup

It's a shame that Turan doesn't make it.

Until now I thought Souness was a decent pundit.
