I'm going to watch it locked in my room where I can quickly get on with revision if it all goes pear shaped. I actually put some money on Man U when they spanked Schalke after the first leg in the semi as a hedge in case they did win. Hope they don't though!Comment

I'll be backing them too. Only question is do I back them to win in 90 minutes at 11/4 or simply to lift the trophy, which is 6/4. Might back both.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

What? The idea is that I jinx them with my betting. I don't think they'll win and I obviously don't want them to win. I would gladly pay £20 or more if it meant guaranteeing they lost. On a bad run betting wise at the moment and would love to lose money on them. The way I see it is if I back them to win their chances of winning decrease.

We managed to rectify it, though, because it now says, "Cook" where it once said "Cock", and "Pass" where it once said "Piss", so it’s slightly less rude.Comment

Match report
Welcome to Wembley stadium for the 2010-11 Champions league Final, which pitches the Champions of England Manchester United against the Champions of La Liga.
Of course both of these teams have tasted victory at this stadium in this competition, Barcelona beating Sampdoria in 1992 and United emerging triumphant in 1968 against Benfica. It is understood that many Manchester United fans were unaware of that victory, as it took place many years before football was invented in 1992.
I am happy to report that the travel scare over the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud has diminished and that the hordes of Catalan Barcelona supporters have been able to get across to London unhindered. Sadly the United fans have not been quite so fortunate. Severe delays on the London Underground caused by a Tube driver calling in sick has meant that up to 30,000 of their fans have had to set off early for the match, thus missing Doctor Who.
19:44:- The Barcelona fans are in good voice singing their club song, whilst the Man U fans also sing their anthem, which seems to involve ‘not killing anyone’
19:45:- Kick off: The teams kick off, with Barca in their traditional red and blue kit and Man United wearing all white, just as they did in 2009 when Barcelona battered them.
19:48:- The first meaningful attack of the game as ‘An unnamed premier league footballer’ plays it through for Rooney, who beats the offside trap. However the United forward made his worst choice since he opted for Ethel instead of Doreen in the Sefton Park br0thel by choosing to shoot instead of playing in Hernandez.
20:03:- Almost twenty minutes in and Messi rounds Vidic and Evra to get in a shooting position but seems to be put off by the ridiculous open-mouthed face pulled by Van der Sar as he shapes to shoot.
20:05:-The United fans are in full voice singing songs about Liverpool.
20:20:- The match is held up as Giggs consults his pitch side lawyer and instructs him to take the names of the thousands who have clearly been heard shouting his name.
20:21: The United fans singing ‘You Scouse B4$tard’ to Barcelona’s Argentinian centre back Mascherano.
20:29:- Almost half time here at Wembley and a major talking point. The ball is in the United net and the referee at first appears to award a goal to Barcelona. However before play resumes the fourth official, Italian Howardio Webbio, comes on to the pitch and persuades the Hungarian referee to disallow the goal. Pep Guardiola is livid, but Ferguson explains to him that Xavi clearly breathed aggresively on Carrick in the build up.
Half Time: Manchester United 0 Barcelona 0
During the half time interval pundit Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp looked back at the first 45 mins of action. Neville said that it was obvious that Manchester would emerge victorious as Barca had a scouse tw8t in their side. Ben Shepherd looked bemused.
20:46:- We are under way in the second half and Barcelona are quickly on the front foot.
20:48:- The referee has to stop play so that make-up can be applied to Alex Ferguson’s nose, as it was clashing with the red and blue (purple) Barca shirts. On at least three occasions Iniesta had tried to play a quick one-two off the offending nasal organ.
21:00:- Its getting tense now. Mascherano trips Nani and the tears flow. The referee orders Nani off to get a tissue whilst Masch is shown a yellow card.
21:00:- ‘Un unnamed Premier League player’ shows great imogenation with a seductive thrust down the middle, before going down. However, I am not allowed to tell you about that.
21:09:- Park, who had come out late after the interval, because he had heard that they were selling hot dogs in the main stand, plays in Evra but the Frenchman misses the ball completely as he was still chasing the referee form an incident two minutes earlier.
21:15:- 75 minutes. GOAL : Barcelona 1 Manchester United 0
A quick exchange between Iniesta, Xavi and Messi leads to a shooting chance for David Villa who despatches it into the net and wheels away in celebration. As the Catalans in the crowd go wild, the Mancunians call Villa a ‘scouse dastard’ (apparently he once watched an episode of Bread on Espana Gold)
21:25:- Time is running out for Man United, and the whole of Britain is willing them to equalise , writes Martin Samuel in the press box.
21:26:- Nani is on the ground crying. The ITV commentators say that it must be serious as Nani is not the sort of player to stay down unless he is seriously injured.
21:27:- Gerard Pique heads just over the bar. Ferguson , chewing profusely in his technical area shrugs and says “He’s shiyte!”
21:30:- Howardio Webbio, consults Fergie before holding up the board to indicate that there will be a minimum of eleven minutes stoppage time. Many of the United fans are already leaving the stadium, as the last tube train leaves at ten.
21:33:- The Man United fans are being wonderful in the face of impending defeat here, continuing to sing the inspirational ‘without killing anyone’ anthem.
21:40:- Puyol is looking worn out here. With his long curly hair, and weathered lined features Wayne Rooney seems to be taking a shine to him however.
21:41:- Into the last minute. Ferguson is pleading with Webbio on the touchline, “Do something! Anything!”, but the fourth official is powerless.
Rio Ferdinand has spent most of the last five minutes in attack, and as a cross from Valencia flashes across the box Rio very nearly gets his lips on the end of it.
22:42:- The referee blows for full time and whilst the whole Manchester United squad chase the official around the perimeter of the famous turf Lionel Messi and his teammates celebrate. Ferguson concedes graciously that the best team lost.
Fergie later refused to do any further interviews and threatens to slap a press conference ban on all journalists who dare to print the final score.
Later, as the floodlights went out and the famous stadium was plunged into twilight, illuminated only by the silvery moonlight, an eerie stillness fell across the scene. The stillness was interrupted only by the fluttering of a lone red flag hanging from the media gantry where John Bradley had been commentating for UEFA…. It simply read “LFC ***** 5 times “Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment
