Exiled Gulls...

Ok, so we're not all going to go to Old Trafford. Some of us are in foreign climes and can't get to England over the weekend.

So exiles - how are you going to be spending the day!?

Fortunately, I've found out that the game will be on TV here (USA fans - it's on Fox Soccer Plus) at 10am EST. So I'm getting up to watch that, then I'm going to drive to Boston to find somewhere to watch the CL final before I cover the New England/LA Galaxy MLS game. Could be a pretty great day.

Or it could be totally crap, of course.

I'll be at work, but as I'm the only person on duty for the weekend, I'll take in my laptop and arrange the work so I get 3 hours off in the afternoon. Any celebrations will have to wait till I finish my shift on Monday afternoon... Not arsed about watching the CL final, but if circumstances allow I'll watch bits and pieces.

It's on Fox Soccer Plus, not Fox Soccer - it used to be 'Setanta' before they went tits up. I think it's $15 a month, but you should be able to order it on friday and cancel it on saturday and they'll probably pro-rate you. I'll be cancelling it myself as soon as the playoffs are over (all the play off finals are on it), because there's not really much on in the summer. Obviously I don't know who you get your TV through, but it's on Dish and DirecTV (which I have) as well as a lot of cable networks.

CL final is on ESPN, yes.
