As an old miserabilist I am starting to worry about all these good omens.

I was just the same in 1982.

The referee for the game is François Letexier from France, which is a good omen as the ref in Rotterdam was Georges Konrath, also from France.

Assume Dibu will be sent off then.

Knowing next to nothing about German football, can someone tell me me, roughly what English team equates to Freiburg?

Inoffensive as Fulham, punching above their weight like Brentford according to a journalist  on Luke's UTB Fan channel.

It looks as though the team are on a specially chartered flight with 2Excel Aviation, scheduled to leave BHX at 15.00hrs today, Boeing 737, flight number: BRO165A.

Well, more comparisons to 1982 for you… this is their first european final, facing the favourites, who are filled with internationals.

Let’s just hope they don’t have shins!
