The 2016 Europa League Final Liverpool v Sevilla in Basle 18/5/16 7.45 ko

Four more courses on a pier then off home to really get into the build up loving the day .

Yeehah!!  Mums carer has arrived (wasn't expecting her) so now I can watch extended highlights of the Dortmund game 

I'm far too calm, need something to get the butterflies going ready for ko.

Just finished at work will be picking up my lucky German Ale on the way home - not failed yet!

Added bonus of Wednesdayvis at least I won't have to pick up my daughter from dance classes at 7.15pm like on a Thursday 😄

WHY IS TODAY TAKING SO LONG?

Cause people keep on asking why it's taking so long, and then it seems to take even longer !! 



Like when you start thinking about how badly you want to go to sleep ... and then you can't ... and it's a vicious circle
Actually, I'm not sure it's anything like that 

less than 4 hours 30 mins now
tension is increasing (as with all games after all) but this one a bit more , another European title, CL footy, etc etc
 But optimistic that the reds will be ready for it
watching it on Setanta Ireland HD or bein-spain(English commentary.....hope its not Owen commenting)
COME ON REDS

Will there be an Anfield style welcome for the buses as they come into the stadium?

Always good to have the opposing team sh*tting themselves before they get into the stadium!

There is a planned parade apparently
But a few rumours going about that it is starting around tuebrook as opposed to the traditional route of queens drive.

I'm already preparing the live thread. While preparing I found this huge song by our fans

Only those with tickets are being allowed near the stadium 
 those without tickets ( and there thousands)  are  being urged to stay in the city centre and enjoy the game on screens and tvs
 All this from media reports
 lets hope those those staying in the city have a great time and behave

Was hoping to watch the IPL game on Sky to take my mind off things for a few hours but it's been delayed because of heavy rain. Back to clock watching 

Our fans are the best.

Our fans are the best.

Are they? We're family and that what makes us unique. I'm a foreigner but I love Liverpool with all my heart. I started watching (exactly listening on the british radio) Liverpool in late 90s so I did not choose Liverpool for their present success but because my father always told what a great support and family, we are!!!

The only thing that would worry me is that our name is too motivational for them as compared to the last two they faced (esp the last one). Nothing else.

Motivational? I would be scared and afraid of our European success.

My dad was a foreigner and he said the same as me, globally Liverpool fans are there to make an occasion and live in the moment, even in drought/tough times away fans are there trying their best to raise spirits, you chose the right football family, wherever you are on Earth you'll meet a Liverpool fan. Look at the way the Aussies sang YNWA for one example.
We have the luxury that we have success to build on, some great fan bases of other teams haven't got this set of memories. We hardly ever disappoint the neutral football fan so maybe that's how many became fond of us during lean spells.
The 90's! I loved them teams.

I've felt OK today up until about an hour ago, works gone out the window and can't focus on anything but the match now.

I'd forgotten about how much I hated the build up to Istanbul and Athens!!

Exactly, I'm from Malta and the British influence is great!!! I love Liverpool.
