The team buses arrived 1 hour ago, players have had a walk out onto the hallowed turf, the atmosphere is electric with some 85,000 Ravers fans well lashed up, around 2500 have made the trip from Kuala Terengganu, it is believed that many started their journey after the second leg of the semi final some four weeks ago, wrong turning at the Khyber pass was their explanation when asked, why they looked so tired and no soles on their shoes.
The players are now in the dressing rooms getting their final rub downs, speaking to Simon garner before they left the field when asked for a prediction, a rye smile was given while rolling his cigarette from one side of his mouth to over; blowing smoke in my face with a right eyed wink.
With around 20 minutes to KO we'll take a short break leaving you to savour the atmosphere being created by 'Uncle Jacks Barmy Army'
Back for full match commentary shortly and full highlights with stats on BBC1 at 1730.

The teams have just made their way out to utter silence as the crowd stood totally stunned, at the sight of the new Ravers hero Alan Shearer donning his tracK suit top, it has to be said this is a very brave selection by young Prior to name Garner ahead of Shearer.
The crowd will lynch Prior if he he's got this one wrong. :(
-
H/T Ravers with 57% possession lead 2-0 with goals from Vasquez and Garner
-
Oh so you got the cup again :D great news :D !
-
2-0 to Ravers garner missing a penalty on 82 minutes after he was brought down by jung who was given a straight red.
The players are waiting to climb the steps to receive their medals and for Captain Fazackerley; Ravers third FA cup in as many seasons.
We hope to bring you some comments from the jubilant manager and players after this short break, grab a brew!
