So this season we played them at Anfield and lost unluckily 1-0. Then the youth team played them at Anfield and lost unluckily 2-1. Then the reserves played them at home last night and lost unluckily 1-0. So what's going to happen if we play them in Athens? Given our current run of luck the answer would seem to be we will lose unluckily no matter how well we play. This seems preordained and would reflect a long run of games against them when no matter how well we play we get beaten unluckily.This stretches back to the eighties when they beat us 2-1 at Wembley with a fluky deflected goal, then Cantonas winner in a leter FA cup final. Last season we outplayed them at old trafford and got done by a last minute winner -and so it goes on. The Scum have the indian sign on us and have had for a large number of years. However unpalatable it may be we have to accept that in sunny Athens we may wipe the floor with them and lose again.I have to say that since they beat Roma and looked headed for the final I have lost all pleasure at the thought of reaching Athens.There will be mayhem in the airports and the city with both us and them there. There will be mayhem in the stadium as we all know from Istanbul that segregation will break down with the number of neutral tickets on sale. There will be mayhem after the game and on top of all this the jammy *******s will likely win and consign us to the most painful defeat in the clubs history bar none. Football is meant to be fun. This isn't likely to be any fun at all.
