Pepe Reina is a superstitious man. We know this. We’re talking about a man here who has two cheese and ham toasties and glass of wine every night before a game without fail to stave off night terrors about giant red beachballs. A man that always buys petrol six hours before kick-off regardless of whether he needs it or not. A man that insists on parking in bay number 39 in the car park in front of the Centenary Stand at Anfield. A man that potters the same route around his area after emerging from the tunnel before a game – “six steps to the edge of the six-yard box, another six steps to the penalty spot, another six to the edge of the 18-yard box and then the same thing in reverse”.

Got that? He’s superstitious, so it is with an definite air of disappointment that Pepe laments the fact that one Jamie Carragher has denied the Spaniard the pleasure of conducting one of his favourite pre-game activities…

Yep. We’re mocking a man for wading in elbow-deep with some unfortunate, unwitting innuendo while speaking in his second language – not for the first time.

We know what Pepe really meant, you know what Pepe really meant but that doesn’t change the fact that we’re fully willing to believe he was referring to this kind of thing…
