Now, I'm not really a football fan -- but even I haven't been able to resist getting caught up in all the excitement in this little northern town of ours. Middlesbrough in the final of the UEFA Cup. Tonight. Live on ITV1. 7:30.

I've taken my Boro scarf out of mothballs and dusted off my boots, just in case I'm needed ;-)

Here's wishing the comeback kings the best of luck.

Prediction: Middlesbrough 3 : Sevilla 2 (after extra time).
