Change of plan

By the middle of Feb, I realise that the prices for a 3 week stay are exhorbitant, and the prospect of being in England for that long, not to mention not being in Israel for that long, convince me to change my plans.
But what do I choose?
At this point United are seven points clear at the top of the table with Rooney lashing in a stupendous overhead kick in the derby, the FA Cup fifth round home match against Crawley is just around the corner, with upcoming home and away ties with Marseille, which would put us into the quarter finals of the Champions League.
Now, I've been present to see United win the league on more than one occasion, so being there for the final Premier League weekend is not my first choice. However, I've never been to the new Wembley, and a trip to the cup final would be superb. What are the chances of us getting to the Champions League Final anyway? It's not as if we are playing amazing football to warrant such optimism.
So, I'm leaning towards booking to coincide with the cup final. At this point I have a telephone conversation with Jez, who convinces me that I've been to cup finals before (1983, 1985, 1990, 1996) and that if I have a chance to be there for the big one, it's worth missing a cup final for that chance.
That evening I send this email to my mum:

Are the prices any better for the 26/27th May to London, returning from Manchester on 4th/5th/6th June?
