    All right, it's almost 24 hours away. I don't usually have a routine for normal games, but I usually wear a Puyol shirt for the big ones, but it hasn't done the job (I think they've lost the last 3 times I've worn it). I obviously have to change it up. Who does what/wears what on matchday?

    This season I have been perfect with Dark Blue button down shirts and jeans on game day. Dont ask why it works but I must be 8 for 8 in big matches this season (AC Milan, Chelsea, Porto, and RM).

    Well, I have the '03-'04 Home shirt and I wore it to Lucky Bar last year and I was 25 minutes late, Barca lost 4-2 to a Madrid side we could've beaten. Since, then I don't wear that shirt during Barca matches (home or away) I'm wearing my 2001 Rivaldo Away (Golden with the Single Blue stripe down the center) tomorrow.

    Since, I'm going back to Lucky Bar, I don't want to jinx the club again! So I'm going to arrive at the pub at least 60Minutes early if not 2 hours.

    I kept changing shirts last fall until we went on that long winning streak when I wore my 2005-2006 Puyol shirt. When we built up a big lead, I started wearing it selectively, didn't wear it against Zaragoza in the CDR...but did in every CL match. When I have worn the shirt, and watched the game live, we must have about 30 games without defeat now.

    DFR, you need to make sure the body is loose and warmed up prior to kick-off. Drink no less than 4 Heineken's!!!!!!!!!

    Proper hydration is definitely crucial, especially for muscle recovery well after the match is over. ;)

    I think I'm going to bring out the big guns - a home shirt from '92 and a scarf from the Cup Winners Cup final in '97. I'm hoping next year I can wear the shirt from 92, the scarf from 97 and a t-shirt or something else from 06.

    Ahh....you should pre-order the league champs shirt and (depending on tomorrows results) order the champs league shirt thursday morning. They are on serious back order, I have been waiting two weeks for my league Champions shirt. Had i known I would have ordered it all at once.

    I've been saving up for a September trip over there. They do look nice though. What the hell, it's only money.

    If anyone is interested, search "barcelona" at final-score.com. They still have the yellow away for 50, a couple of hats and the red shorts - all marked down. Plus there's a 20% off $50 or more discount code at the top of the page

    Well, I started out this match not wearing my Barca jersey (the home shirt from last season) because I didn't want to jinx them. After about the 65 minute mark, I was so frustrated that I just said f' it, and threw it on. And well, whattya know, ten minutes later the tide turns. So it becomes my lucky jersey.:D

    I watched the match wearing an Argentina WC jersey. Guess it was good luck.

    Went to princess pub which was mostly arsenal support. Reason? Because for the Milan matches I watched the first one there, which was 1 - 0, and saw the second at the (obviously more Spanish supporting) Costa Brava restaurant where it ended 0 - 0.

    Also wore the Larsson jersey, the man whose transfer to Barcelona sealed my allegiance.

    Worked out pretty well.

    I'm not watching Barca matches at Lucky Bar wearing any blaugrana anymore. The fire marshall thing worked to my advantage. I had to leave. Thus, bad luck no longer applied.
