FA CUP - Chelsea vs. Manchester Utd .
This Saturday at 3 p.m. - Wembley Stadium. Abramovic’s Chelsea against Premiership winner Manchaster United. Final game of the oldest domestic cup competition in the world. Which club is going to get his second season trophy?
Match preview:
Chelsea won less important, but also valuable League Cup and after obscure point loosing in last Premier League’s matches will Mourinho’s boys try to smooth up their fans. We all have heard Mourinho’s crying about injuries, like he is maybe going to use goalkeeper Hilario in strike. Bullshit! He has many perspective and fit young players. I saw for example Sahar and I promise, that we will hear about him in the future (or maybe tomorrow?! 
). Anyway it’s true, that John Obi Mikel, Andriy Shevchenko, Michael Ballack, Ricardo Carvalho are out, but I expect Arjen Robbben, Didier Drogba and hilarious Joe Cole to play their best to reach FA CUP trophy. Petr Čech is not going to capitulate more than ones, there is more probable, that we will see another of his magnificent shows with 0 at the end.
However I think, that Chelsea is going to win this match, I need to admit, that in this season I liked Man Utd. more. They’ve played with amazing accuracy game by game as machine. Ronaldo, Giggs, Scholes, Ferdinand, Rooney are great players, but they are not gonna make it. Giggs and Scholes are already too old and on the other side Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are too young to be able to carry all that responsibility by them selves.
My guess: Chelsea win, tight, but win..
And what about bet courses? Totally equable courses, in my bet office 2.6 on both. So how will I bet? For sure: bet on draw - 3.0 is more than 2.6, don’t you think?

To your response at chron.com blog:
When Chelsea bought so much talent last summer, you’d expect for them to at least make the Champions League final and win the Premiership title for the third time running. Neither of those things happened. Sheva, Ballack, and Ashley Cole have all previously played in huge matches, including the Champions League final, so you would expect their experience would come though in those matches, it didn’t.
The FA Cup does not compare to being a success to winning the League. Man Utd played the most amazing football all season and were consistent the entire way though. You can argue that Chelsea had injuries, so did Man Utd down the stretch. In the FA Cup, Chelsea weren’t challenged until they played Tottenham, and were nearly knocked out. Man Utd played mostly Premiership opposition and still made it to the final. So, the FA Cup does not compare in any way to that of winning the Premiership; which is the toughest league in the world.

Ryan, thanks for your response:
No doubt, that how Man Utd played all season in Premier League was amazing and we all know, that Premiership title is in right hands.
My comment was strictly about results and best players experiences. Anyway about injuries: Čech, Terry - were out for a long time. I don’t know how is possible, that they don’t have enough defense players to replace for example Terry. Btw.: I think, that with Sheva ad Ballack they would make it through Liverpool to the Champions League final.
