There are a lot of similarities this time round but the difference is that five days later we’ve got a European final; these really are strange and unusual times even though in another couple of years they won’t be. Many things have been said about the team we’re playing and many more will be, usually in Thai, Danish and whatever language is spoken in Devon. They also have the most embarrassing set of celebrity supporters of any club not named Arsenal, although they’re reported to be putting in a bid for Piers Morgan to get their title back.

The Liverpool manager came from the Netherlands and soon picked up essential Scouse phrases such as “Dat’s offside,” “Dat’s a penalty” and “De world’s against us.” He’s only there until Stevie G’s done enough to get the job. He just signed a twenty-year contract. They’ve also got a player on their books named Harvey Elliott, who’s disappeared just lately.

As ever, the sort of team we put out depends on what’s going through Unai’s mind. Amadou Onana’s out and Alysson’s injured again, but they probably won’t be the only players missing. Whatever team he picks is bound to be the wrong one an hour before kick-off. Whether it will be at the final whistle, we’ll have to see.
