I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but I thought, seeing as we are going to need every bit of good luck that we can get for the final, I would lay this on you. Did you know that in Istanbul, Liverpool have been given the right to wear the Red Jersey which we all love soooooo much, and that AC Milan (who are infact called "Milan" and not "Milano" because they were started by an Englishman, hence the St. George's Cross on their badge) will be wearing their WHITE away strip. Why is this of any interest, I hear you ask. Well, If you look at the sides that Liverpool have beaten in the final, Brugge, Borussiamunchengladbach (or however you spell it) and Madrid, our defeated opponents have always worn white. These superstitions don't count for much according to some and they account to all according to others. There is a place for these "coincidences" as they can be a vital psychological weapon which can empower our players with an extra bit of self belief and demorilise their men by making them think that the footballing gods are against them. I therefore urge anyone here who can speak Italiano, to log on to a Milan forum and spread this worrying statistic around in the hope that the players and staff will get to hear about it. I know that to some this idea may seem foolish, but we will need to give the players everybit of help that we can in order to help secure this trophy, and though this may not be much, it is something.
Viva Le Rafa-lution!!!
