Any bets they will say milan will win?
Sky are hugely disappointed that it was not a chelski -scum final, and even further blow is that its not an all premiership final.
After all its the best league in the world according to Sky.

i can't stomach the bias, as journalists aren't they supposed to be neutral?
there seems to be an agenda from the top down, and each pundit must toe the company line
best league in the world my arse, the top 4 teams are good, the rest of the league is pathetic imo
I watched the match on ESPN, using the Sky feed. After each half the ESPN pundits took the trouble to apologise for Gray's biased rubbish, pointing out that it was to offer hope to the many Man Utd fans who were watching. Fair play from ESPN, at least.
Andy Gray: Big In Italy
The banner for his weekly column on your website would have us believe that Andy Gray is 'Britain's Best Pundit'. If he truly is Britain's best, what does that say about the rest of them?
You see, Andy told us that Man Utd would win in Milan easily; that beyond Kaka, Milan were a nothing team. Let's forget that they've been in four semi-finals in the past five years (and now three finals in five). Let's forget that they are the second most successful team in history in the European Cup. Let's forget, in fact, that they were the better team in Manchester for all but the last half hour. He told us that players like Pirlo, Seedorf, and most definitely Gilardino were no threat. I wonder if he might be wanting to revise that opinion this morning??
Far from being the best, Andy Gray is the worst type of jingoistic pundit. He offers no technical analysis of a game (even when he tries to set up his little boards to explain what tactics are employed etc), instead only offering a baseless view that "we are better". He starts from the position that the Premiership is best, everything else is rubbish. That shows not only a lack of respect to a team as historic as Milan, and players who have won World Cups and multiple European trophies, but also a complete ignorance of the game outside the UK borders.
Let's look at the players he dismissed - Pirlo, a Champions League and World Cup winner, and a player regarded, outside Sky Sports' studio anyway, as one of the best midfielders in the world; Seedorf, a man who has won the Champions League with three different teams; and Gilardino, also a World Cup winner and a man who may not be having his best season but who has still scored 73 goals in three-and-a-bit seasons in Serie A. Now, obviously to appreciate that, you would have to watch something other than the Premiership, so maybe Andy should be forgiven for his ignorance.
Time to broaden your horizons, Andy? I know it's against company policy, but you'll find that great football can also be played on the continent as well.

I could not dig, I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?
