Posted: Wed May 25, 2005 11:06 amPosted: Wed May 25, 2005 11:10 amI'm really looking forward to this game but unfortunatly it will be spoilt by ITV's rubbish commentry and pre match waffle. Gabby will talk over the crowd singing YNWA as usual and discuss pointless issues. MOwen will probably be in the studio with them, looking in awe at our lads pulling AC Milan apart.

It is about 15-20 km far away from old city. That stadium was built as a cadidate city for Olympics and inside a huge complex. But as you guess we couldn't get games and stayed idle. Played only two or three matches in a seasons (like Turkish Cup final etc)
I don't think there will be a traffic problem. Because it is far away from city and there are only industrial zones near stadium. Aand because of final, all the factories and sites in Ikitelli ind. district closed today afternoon...

0925: BBC Five Live's Shelagh Fogarty reports as Liverpool fans board the last Istanbul-bound flight to leave Liverpool's John Lennon Airport
The airport is swathed in Reds banners. One has a Liverpool team sheet, numbered one to 11, with Jamie Carragher against each number and the conclusion: 'If only'
Another refers to the late lamented former captain Emlyn Hughes. "Bring it home for Crazy Horse".
0910: Mr T, Istanbul, via text
Everywhere is a sea of red. The atmosphere last night was absolutely extraordinary. Every single side street off the main drag had bars packed full of Liverpool fans. It was all totally peaceful - and brilliantly handled by the local authorities. They've effectively divided the city in half, with Liverpool fans in the Asian part of the city and Milan supporters in the European parts, so we haven't see a single Italian so far...
0850: BBC Five Live's Matt Williams
Taksim Square is packed out. Police tell us there has been a minor scuffle between fans but there's generally no trouble and there's a good atmosphere with lots of singing.
0840: Mark Lawrenson, BBC Sport pundit
It's good to see the build-up in Istanbul. As a player it passes you by as you're closeted in your hotel. My feelings at the moment? By hook or by crook, Liverpool are going to win.
0815: Alan Green, BBC Five Live commentator
It is an enticing possibility that Harry Kewell could redeem himself in a Liverpool shirt. He'll interchange well with Luis Garcia and Steven Gerrard will come from deeper. It's interesting and will give AC Milan something to think about - although I'm not sure it's true. A predicition? I have a conviction that Liverpool's name is on this cup.

Posted: Wed May 25, 2005 1:51 pmOur name is on the cup! Forums all over are being hit with well wishes from other fans. On the WAP forum, a lad in Spain is saying that the whole country wants to see Xabi and Rafa lift the trophy! AC Milan are lucky to be in this final... We deserve to be! 21 years of waiting is about to come to an end!
