Its going to happen. Already the build up has started and sports lovers around the world will have to put up with the embarassing spectacle of the [Poor language removed]'s supporters abroad. Expect such words as birth right, Greek crusade, pilgramige and the like.
Expect TV Pundits and commentators to get so excited they transmit with a half stiffy and explore the shites 'special relationship' with the Cup. Expect the annoying redshite fans you know to have that smug glow about them as they get all excited in your work place of choice this week. Of course they wont be in Athens. Expect young Thor to wake up in his native Norway, draw back his official LFC curtains (circa 1995), stroke his lucky Phil Babb figurine and practice in his snide broken Eenglish 'We won it six times'.
Shanks would be so proud.
When you have to tolerate Granada Reports showing the bad teds making complete muppets of themselves in Athens (expect the Acropolis or some Greek symbol of history to be covered in a flag, "Tunbridge Wells Red Army') and taking over the bars, just have one thought and one thought only...
Forza Milan.
Two years on from the 'Miracle of Istanbul', where 'St Stevie' came down and rescued them, they have the opportunity to do it again. Whether you put this down to the practising of the black arts, Benitez selling his soul to the devil or just plain redshite luck - you have to admit that their one basket policy has paid off. The third best team in England take on the might of Milan.
And of course they will claim that there were two million of them over in Athens for the final 'honest geezer' in their bad wool accents.
Lets send our messages of support over to Athens for Wednesday night.
I'll start: Forza Milan.
