Topic: FA CUP FINAL 2012 - Liverpool v Chelsea

[PJLFC1]

My mate was working there the other day, getting it ready for the Final. Said we've got the unlucky dressing (if there is one) where only one FA Cup Winner has won.

As long as we have the East end am Happy

[ScouseBrad]

I hate their fans! Hate them, I  hate utd as an overall package but nothing compares to Chelsea fans plastic waving, tasteless, nouveau scum.... I'd say there will be fireworks at this final - fucking vile scum.

I just hope we outplay them and win the cup for the 96. Ynwa

[AnyGivenSunday]

Chelsea have got an important game against Newcastle on Wednesday - let's hope for a few injuries and suspensions.

I'm confident our lot will raise their game for the occasion anyway

[Billy1561]

Whatever team Kenny picks is good enough for me. Who the fuck are we to question his judgement. Just support eh.

As long as there's no Carragher and Sterling starts that's good enough more me.

could you ask your mate what the odds are of me being able to wear my lucky shirt (liverpool shirt) in the club wembley section?

I guess if there are no more injuries, the nailed on spots are:

Reina, Agger, Enrique, Skrtel, Johnson, Gerrard & Suarez

Exactly that's our end.  I take it where in the "away" dressing room, as I think we where classed as the home team for the Semi and the CC Final.

He doesn't work there, he's a sub contractor just been doing some stuff there this week.

I thought that Enrique was nailed on for the semi....

[El Ninos Black Eye]

Enrique will play. Think it was more to do with Jones being in goal, he thought Everton would bombard him and he wanted 3 big players to try and protect him. Like we went away to Stoke in the Cup with Carra, Coates and Agger.

pathetic bunch of shithouses

[Fitzy.]

As a team we are many things, some of them bad. But one thing we have been this season is a "big game" team. This is why we've done so well in the cups and why we've failed when it has come to bread and butter stuff.

I think we got it right in the semi, despite an average first half. We got it right against City in the League Cup (twice). We got it right against United in January. We just need to get it right once more and it has to be Saturday.

Chelsea have been very decent in the past month or so, but they have ridden their luck massively. Hopefully Saturday will not be their day...

Good point. Don't want 3 CBs on Saturday.

Unless you wear it under something they'll tell you to take it off as they did with me for CC final.

[jaffod]

Kenny's biggest problem will be finding the right balance between attack and caution. I feel we have to match them for numbers in midfield and would expect to see Gerrard, Henderson and Spearing all start. Henderson really needs to step up to the plate in this one, he's been poor in both our Wembley appearances this season and we can't afford any passengers on Saturday.
 I'd be happy to see Carroll up top with Bellamy and Suarez picking the ball up deeper and running at Chelsea's defence. That would be a nightmare for Terry and Luiz. Terry will spend all afternoon kicking Suarez otherwise with no protection from Dowd. Gerrard to play at the head of the midfield 3.

                                                    Reina

 Johnson                Skrtel                     Agger                  Enrique

                        Henderson                          Spearing

                                           Gerrard

 Bellamy                                                                Suarez

                                        Carroll

That's fucking unbelievable but I really suspect that its not to far from the truth. The most interesting thing was about match fixing, with the standard of ref's at the moment, it does put doubts in your mind. Seen some horrendous decisions over the last few years and they do seem go certain teams way.
Anyway this is about a Cup final, I pray we beat the classless, plastic disrespectful c*nt's. It may not of been all of them but it was more than enough. As someone has said, lets hope karma bites them hard and we can be as clinical in front of goal as yesterday.   

[RivaGe]

Got to say, I'd rather play Spurs. Chelsea are actually good right now.

lol, worldclass!

[Nick110581]

I would bring Kuyt or Maxi in for Downing and Skrtel for Carra (who is not as bad as half of you lot make out) and keep the same team as yesterday.

We know their team will be strong but maybe a weakness on the flanks with Boswinga playing and Terry and Ivanovic as CB's so Suarez's movement will cause them issues.

[Rafaroy]

Lets show the blue scum what history means. Not just from the players, but from the best supporters in the world. YNWA

[Red James]

I'm confident we'll smash that plastic shithouse club. Fucking take the FA cup away from them and watch them get smashed by Bayern Munich as well to deny them the Champions League.

[Always_A_Red]

Got to say, I'd rather play Spurs. Chelsea are actually good right now.

Fuck 'em! So are we! Did you watch us yesterday? We'll twat these. They will be shitting themselves everytime Suarez gets the ball. Watching these beat a QPR team at home who havent won away in about 500 years isnt gonna get me nervous. We've beat them twice this year already and now we're gonna get the hatrick.

Bring It On!!!

[jack witham]

Hate these fuckers with a passion.
I hope every Red who is going to the final does not give these c*nts the time of day.
What they did during the silence at the semi was a disgrace.
Bunch of plastic,disrespectful bastards who will get shown up for what they are.

[nittinivala]

I have this horrible feeling Carragher will start.

Didn`t he score in our last F.A.cup final against West Ham?

[Always_A_Red]

Dont worry mate, we wont

[Bangin Them In]

No you don't

[liverbnz]

Reina
Johnson
Skrtel
Agger
Enrique
Henderson
Shelvey
Maxi
Bellamy
Gerrard
Suarez

One can hope.

[DAVO1]

Back 4 picks itself for this one & i reckon Carroll & Suarez will play too.
As for the midfield its all down to how Kenny feels,go for it or sit and counter.

[checkolad]

[Trada]

I hope Torres starts against us and not Drogba he's a fucking nightmare against us in the big game diving and falling down all over place.

[Always_A_Red]

I hope Torres starts against us and not Drogba he's a fucking nightmare against us in the big game diving and falling down all over place.

I hope Torres starts too so I can shout as much abuse at the twat as possible. Remember the c/c game where he just hid and couldnt trap a bag of sand! I cant wait!

I want to see this again.

In one mate.

[redandwhitestripes]

i want to beat these so bad i might throw up. the other outcome is unthinkable.

let's just hope torres clams up like he always does against us since he's coming into a bit of form (but so is suarez). support could help with that, not by shouting abuse at him but by getting behind the team loud and strong.

yeah, chelsea are in some form right now, but so are we. we'll twat them.

COME ONNNNNN can't fucking wait.

[-RedTilDead-]

I want to see this again.

A knee in the groin, an elbow to the jaw and nothing at all on the ball, and it wasn't even a foul.  Torres to get more of the same and us to spoil their party.  Can't wait.

[helmboy_nige]

Chelsea are the favourites, and that works well for me.  Better to be underdogs.

[DanA]

Hopefully it's a tired Chelsea, just had a war with Barcelona, walk in the park with QPR and now they've got Newcastle on Wednesday in a battle for fourth.

They seem to be setting up as follows:

                Chek
Ivanovic Terry Cahill Cole
              Mikel
        Lampard   Ramirez
   Kalou     Mata
             Drogba

Wingers quite defensive but hitting on the counter, Mata pulling the strings. Probably the in form team in the world at the minute. They're going to take some beating.
