Here it is, folks. No more talk. No more speculation. It's time to pit the top two clubs in Europe -- who just happen to be the top two clubs in the Premier League -- against each other for all the marbles. Will Manchester United win the double? Will Chelsea deny them that pleasure in a final for the second consecutive year? And is anyone surprised that ol' Vlad's head is turned toward the logo of the club owned by the Russian guy? Seriously, how much did Roman Abramovich pay for that effect?
Liveblogging fun is after the jump. If you have any comments or questions, just post a comment here. FanHouse comments go directly to my email account, and I'll answer questions and post the good stuff in the liveblog. Let's just hope this turns out better than last year's FA Cup Final. That game was brutal.
