Istanbul Revisited
After 24 months since that crazy match which most probably gave millions a few irregular heart beats and half of those people a really memorable memory to hold on to, Milan and Liverpool are at it again.
This time around I feel that too much has been made about Liverpool putting another one over the red and black of Milan. Every paper that you see on the news stands is dominated by articles on Liverpool - probably a ratio of 3 to 1 in terms of articles published. Normally these days when a person and the media goes over board and starts hyping about a team or a certain player somehow or rather the opposite happens and things do not go down too well - damn all this jinxing!
I feel Gerrard should not have taken a go at the guy he claims scares him like a kitten. Absolutely needless, just look what happened the last time Milan’s President took a go at Liverpool. He just ate humble pie and made a disappearing act after Istanbul. Maybe the two cases differ but you get the point.
i aint gonna mess with him for sure
Despite all those stories from how to stop a certain Brazilian maestro (use Mascherano, Rafa), to tickets allocations not being enough, to people selling tickets at ludicrous prices, to whether Milan avenge their scarring defeat in Istanbul, or whatever you have read on the papers or the trusty net you’ll be a fool to put your foot down and bet your life on which team will triumph because when it comes down to European Nights like this anything is possible…well maybe less spectacular than Istanbul but still special.
Milan remain the favourites but either team is capable of pulling off something.
My three wishes for the final are:
1. That it turns out to be a cracking game of football
2. It does not start raining and Astro doesn’t start tripping
3. Zenden does not start for Liverpool (could there be anyone more unfashionable and dull?)

As long it doesn’t go into penalties…
Otherwise I’d probably fall asleep.
Wish number 3 is out. Zenden IS starting for Liverpool. I hate Zenden.
Best of luck to Liverpool. May the best team win =)
