In fairness some of Pep’s team selections of late could give the impression we were deliberately fielding a weakened side. But as for us seeing that shower of bastards as a cup final, I don’t think so.
Steady on dear fellow Blue.. I'm taking this game seriously, nay, even 'Cup Final seriously'!
We have so much to learn and emulate from the Red Filth down at the other end of the East Lancs. So I've booked in for some extra training sessions between now and Sunday's game in order to be in tip-top condition for when we're at the stadium, including:
* Wall Scaling: in order to jib in without a ticket more readily
* Turnstile Jumping: see above, alternative approach to enable jibbing in
* Programme Seller Thumping: to relieve said vendors of their wares and cash
* Brick Lobbing: to welcome our opponents' coach as warmly as our Red Scouse chums always seem to do at their place (see also the manual on 'Train Trashing')
* Pint Pot Throwing: to more readily distribute cash 'tips' collected for our coach drivers
* GP Appointment: to get my ears syringed of any wax so my lugholes can better detect and pick up any nasty insults that might be chanted in our direction by the away support
I for one fully intend to be 'Up for the Cup' when we play the 'greatest team in der werrrrrld, la'..!
