I thought I was going to miss the match as I was at a friends birthday in somerset.... low and behold 4 other Reds where there! Good match, shame about the goal against us as it was just down to an out and out defensive error. One minute I was screaming at Garcia on the TV for missing chance after chance - next he scores! With the sheer volume of attempts he had that game, something had to give.

Any respect I have for "The Special One" is all but gone. If he actually admits he was outplayed - just once - it would be nice. A very very poor looser.

Looking forward to the Millenium Stadium.... again!
 
Anyone know why Garcia was sent off, I only saw it once from one angle, to me it looked like Luis slid in on Mullins and then got shoved for it. Red for both doesn't seem right, anything else in it? Hmm apparently they both raise there arms and a kerfuffle occured 'violent conduct.'

Anyway more annoyed that Sky TV didn't advertise on there programme guide or in there mag that there would be coverage of this game so I only saw the last 6 mins... (was watching the Champions league match on SS1. grrr)

Looking forward to the cup final.

3 points behind Manure but they have a game in hand, but then thy have to beat Chelsea, Middlesbrough, Charlton. Whereas we meet Aston Villa and Portsmouth.
 
General concensus here is that it was a bit of handbags, but didn't need a pair of reds. Both players have apologised to each other and the ref, so hopefully they will be allowed to be in the FA Cup Final.

God know I need it for my Fantasy Football team - last nights match left me with -2 points!!!
 
Mullins hit garcia in the face

garcia elbowed him in hte back first.... bit of handbags..
 
they both deserved a red card, especially in "todays game".

Garcia looked to haved elbowed Mullins in the back, intentionally, and Mullins retaliated. both at fault, equally in my book.

such a shame as there was not one sign of a yellow card prior to that, and Garcia had only just come on a couple of minutes earlier too!

hopefully they'll both be allowed to play the Final, but it works to the Reds advantage if not i guess, purely because of our bigger squad.
 
Best club = Wycombe Wanderers. Held onto 1st for almost the whole season and then lost it. Now 5th!!!. I could do a better job.
 
Great to see Fowler sign for another year. It would have been criminally negligent if Rafa let him go. Mind you I think he was always going to get another contract but Benitez, being how he is likes to make sure that no one takes anything for granted. Probably a good idea.
 
I shall be asleep when the game is played. (school tommorow):( :eek:

I shall sleep in red shorts, liverpool shirt and scarf. It did us well in the Champions League last year.

Good luck Reds.
 
12 hours to go. which means i have to get up in 7.

i must be mad, up at 5am, in NYC by 7.30ish so i can get to the bar for 8 when the doors open, get my seat at the end of the bar ready for the game at 10am.

All round the Fields of Anfield Road
Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and he could play)
We had Heighway on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road


Can't wait mate.

tell you know cisse won't be playing left midfield though :)


I will go for - same back 5


Gerrard-----Alonso-----Sissoko-------Kewell

------------Cisse--------Crouch
 
I think Rafa will start with Morientes up front, and later bring Cisse on to inject some pace.

..................Reina
Finnan...Carragher Hyppia....Riise
Gerrard...Alonso...Sissoko...Kewell
..............Crouch...Morientes

Dudek
Traore
Kromkamp
Hamman
Cisse

2-0 Gerrard and Morientes, although I still hope Sissoko will score soon.

BURNING RING OF FIRE

Just enough time to catch 3 hours sleep. Good luck boys.

Back 5 is solid, but Rafa will start with Crouch and Morientes, with Cisse to come on with 20 mins to go and score the winner.

Don't be surprised if Hammann doesn't have a part to play, he destroyed ManUre on that pitch, it was magnificent to behold.

3-1 Liverpool...

Don't think I'm even gonna bother watching to be honest...:D
