Well, the time has come to see if we (England) have any chance of qualifying for Euro '08, all resting on Israel doing us a favour against Russia tomorrow at 6pm, I for one will be keeping my fingers crossed! Not sure if I will be keeping them crossed for our Scottish cousins mind (but thats for a different thread me thinks!), who qualify if they beat Italy tomorrow, I found this on the bbc website :
In Italy, the number 17 is considered unlucky. Some Alitalia planes have no row 17, some Italian hotels have no room 17 and in Roman numerals XVII is an anagram of VIXI which translates into "I have lived" with the implication "my life is over" or "I am dead".
Italy play Scotland in a crucial Euro 2008 qualifier at Hampden Park on Saturday, 17 November with kick-off at 1700 GMT - for the record, Italy have won four of their 11 matches played on the 17th of a month in the last 30 years. (Various)
Maybe an omen!? I love things like that, when Liverpool won the Champions League in '05 there were loads of omens like Ken and Dierdre got married when Liverpool last won it and they were getting married again or something like that!
Oh and of course, not forgetting Stafford Rangers bottom of the table clash with Droylsden I'm sure the boys can get a win!......can't they Gone2seed?!?!!
