"They think it's all over…”

Wembley’s seven-year Cup Final itch has finally ended. Like a bunch of frazzled sixth-formers at the end of their A-levels, the BBC's football team has emerged blinking into the light, hoping the revision paid off and the examiners made some sense of our answers!

As I said in my blog last week, Saturday's broadcast was always going to be unlike any we've ever done before. Not only were we covering a showpiece football match, but also a host of ceremonials as a chapter of social - as well as sporting - history unfolded. In technical terms - and this has nothing to do with me, so it's not self-congratulatory - the occasion was a triumph for our colleagues in BBC Resources, and for our match director and executive producer and their teams.

Thanks for all your feedback on Inside Sport so far, please keep it coming. Here are answers to some of your questions:

Owen Hargreaves interview
The full feature with Owen Hargreaves will run on this week's show alongside our interview with Sven!

Very sorry for changing the interview from Owen to KP at short notice last week. Because we needed to do the Carlos Tevez transfer story, I was concerned, with the Beckham in LA feature also running, that the whole programme would be football and so I changed the interview.

So, no sinister reason I'm afraid but Owen's interview will definitely run soon - watch the website for when.

Sunday programme
The Sunday programme is about 50% new stuff. We run the big interview, often at greater length, and the feature. But we also attempt to have a live guest, we do a paper review and we take in any breaking news that's happening. Finally, we look forward to the afternoon of sport on the BBC with hits from our outside broadcasts.
