i've read in reports last time when they were still building the stadium that the roof takes 45 mins to retract (not sure if they have done anything to improve it).Originally posted by 4getmenot:i thought the roof is retractable? only cover the seats but the field har?![]()
haha no wonder, i spelt it as wimberlyOriginally posted by 4getmenot:er.. google - new wembley retractable roof
it is a very big roof, the retractable roof for the Rogers Center here in Toronto takes about 40 odd mins too, don't forget the amount of electricity it needs to power it too.Originally posted by Adolez:i've read in reports last time when they were still building the stadium that the roof takes 45 mins to retract (not sure if they have done anything to improve it).
imagine it rains just at the start of the 2nd half and they start retracting the roof. by the time it finishes, the match would have ended. so it seems quite pointless to me.
but then again, the players are accustomed to playing in the rain. so it doesn't really matter actually.

[b]Mourinho Threatens To Use Hilario As Striker
Jose Mourinho claims Chelsea's injury problems are so bad he will consider picking goalkeeper Hilario as a substitute striker for the FA Cup final on Saturday.
Mourinho could have just 15 senior players fit for the clash against Manchester United at the new Wembley Stadium, with Mikel John Obi expected to miss the showpiece after limping off against Everton on Sunday.
Andriy Shevchenko, Michael Ballack, Ricardo Carvalho and Arjen Robben are undergoing treatment, while Ashley Cole is facing a race against time to be fit, meaning Mourinho could have goalkeepers Hilario and Carlo Cudicini on the bench.
"If Ashley is ready we have 15 players for the final," said boss Mourinho on Chelsea TV.
"I will have to choose between Hilario because he is not bad playing forward, or I'll bring one of the kids to make 16."
Michael Essien and Claude Makelele were rested against Everton on the final day of the Barclays Premiership season, with Mourinho using youngsters Sam Hutchinson, Ben Sahar and Nuno Morais off the bench.
Mikel picked up a muscle injury in the 1-1 draw and limped off with 16 minutes remaining and making him a doubt for the United clash.
"We will see but I think he is out of the game," said Mourinho.![]()

Ben sahar going to NS when ar?
yea, heard the commentators talking about it.Originally posted by omgukilledkenny:i found this on wiki
As an Israeli citizen, Ben Sahar must return back to Israel for a three-year spell of national service. It is rumored that legislation is trying to be passed called "The Ben Sahar Law", which would exempt him. In a recent interview, Ben said he is 99% certain he will be able to take a job somewhere in London so he can continue to play with Chelsea.

i think its good bye to him soon.Originally posted by Dead_Man_Inc:Saha Saha![]()

im puting my $ on 3 goals, 2-1.Originally posted by CKeer:I hope United can win by 2 goals. 3-1 maybe? We need Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes, Giggs and Carrick in top form and our defence in full alert for Kalou's bursting runs and Lamps wicked shots.
*Prays hard for a double
Cheers.
