Topic: Liverpool v. Chelsea - 2 May 2010 - KO 13:30

[bainio]

Dont understand people saying chelsea win. Liverpool comes first and foremost. Everytime.
If Utd win, its up to us to win it next year then, our history is in the past, too many people looking back instead of forward. Lets finish this season on a semi-high and build up to the new season with hope.

Come on redmen, do it.

YNWA

[Kwaideng]

You know what he means though.

I understand what he is trying to say.

[ElmAnfield]

Banner plane "Tom and George not welcome" currently flying over the Anfield area

[-Sad Fuck-]

Why has the Sky Sports site got Nando starting in the possible starting 11's?

He'll come off the bench in the last minute to say goodbye to the fans.

[brunny]

I don't want united to win, but I hope we go out to win. I would like to see both Pacheco and El Zhar start. Think it would be good to see how they did. Maybe not Ayala, even though I like him, I think it might be detrimental to put him up against Dogba at his current level.

[RigBon1892]

Isn't today the traditional family day?

How are we going to work that around those c*nts celebrating/John Terry crying (again) (delete as appropriate)?

If I was an LFC player I wouldn't want my children near them.

[koptommy93]

honestly i would take a defeat and you can slaughter me all you want but I couldnt stand putting it on a plate for united. We all know Bruce will give them an easy 3 points.

[koptommy93]

Mancs winning the title will have so much impact next season - more teams scared of them, media wanking giving them confidence, more money for them etc.

For that reason, I don't mind us losing today

All that will happen regardless

[Jules77]

I wont be too gutted if Liverpool lose this one and the mancs end up second. On current form we're probably gonna gget beat anyway so I wont lose sleep over it.

However if they smash Chelsea I'll be pissed that they didnt put the effort in earlier in the season.

At the end of the day its been a shite season win or lose.

[rocco]

Reina
Glen Cara Kyrgiakos Agger
Masch
Maxi Gerrard Benayoun
Kuyt Aquilani

Wouldn't mind  ....

[redpride9]

For the first time ever I want us to lose and it makes me sick.

Couldn't bare the Manc's winning it again.

Agreed Thursday night killed it for me, not too bothered about what happens from now on

[Thush]

I'm actually quite confident about winning this game now. There will be too much pressure on Chelsea who have shown previously that they can bottle it.

[Ultimate Bromance]

Honestly don't care about the result, just give a strong showing for the home fans, walk off the pitch with their heads up, no matter the score.

Next week i'd like to see some of the younger lads given a run out though.

[gkmacca]

I said this in another thread, it's from Torres' book, unbelievably appropriate today:

We are as bad as the fucking blueshite if we start worrying about Manchester United more than our own results. And Torres will realise he is in exactly the same situation he had to get out of at Atletico

Top class, well said mate.

[AriGold]

Not in the big games though. They've played 5 won 5 and only conceded 1 against the other top 3...

[Lent§]

Grow up, they're footballers not nonces.

[RigBon1892]

Not in the big games though. They've played 5 won 5 and only conceded 1 against the other top 3...

That's my feeling, even if it wasn't the title on the line, they'd want 6 out of 6. At least, being professional and wanting to be winners I'd hope a team would want that.

[Jules77]

I'd like to Pacheco get a decent runout. 

[rocco]

Not in the big games though. They've played 5 won 5 and only conceded 1 against the other top 3...

Interesting stat ...  take it that's utd arsenal and us ?

[AriGold]

Interesting stat ...  take it that's utd arsenal and us ?

Yep, top class record in all fairness.

[Frank.]

Hope we start some younger lads ie Pacheco, El Zhar. Not for them to beat us but to give them a full game as we've got nothing left to win

[beadlehand]

Mixed feelings on today. A win would be amazing. I absolutely don’t care if the mancs win the league. Means nothing to me.

My feelings are mixed because I’m desperate for us to win but i’m also disappointed with some of Rafa’s comments in the press. I understand his frustration, the politics and that he is negotiating but it’s happening in public and i don’t like it. ‘Things have changed etc’. It get’s on my nerves but thatsjust me. I’d prefer a future with Rafa but it looks like he’s pushing for an exit. If he wants to go and pal up with 'fans' that stab you in the arse at the train station. It's up to him.

As far as i’m concerned. Anyone, no matter who they are, that ‘wants’ to go. Can go. The club lives on.

Beat these horrors please lads.

[RigBon1892]

Yep, top class record in all fairness.

The 1 goal was that one a few weeks ago wasn't it?

[Lent§]

Interesting stat ...  take it that's utd arsenal and us ?

Yes it is.
The facts are, Chelsea are better than us, but we are capable of beating them. I hope we do and Sunderland win, but i can't see either.

[Scribble8]

He'll come off the bench in the last minute to say goodbye to the fans.

 

[stevensr123]

.El zhar must be the oldest "young player"  ever! 

[brunny]

Wouldn't mind  ....

Think I would prefer:

Reina
Glen Cara Kyrgiakos Agger
Masch
Maxi Gerrard Pacheco
Aquilani
Kuyt

So to sum up, finishing seventh on 58 points rather than 55 and the Mancs winning the league would be "amazing"?

[AriGold]

The 1 goal was that one a few weeks ago wasn't it?

The handball against United yes.

[Carra23]

honestly i would take a defeat and you can slaughter me all you want but I couldnt stand putting it on a plate for united. We all know Bruce will give them an easy 3 points.

Do you think the Sunderland players and Sunderland fans would accept it?
I doubt the Sunderland board would accept 'throwing a game' just to please their ex manc manager considering Fulham, Blackburn & Stoke are right behind them in the league. Maybe they cannot finish any higher than their current 10th place but they can drop down to 13th if other results go against them.
Although there is not a great difference in overall prize money for finishing 10th or 13th, I'm sure the Sunderland board will insist on  finishing as high as possible for a slightly bigger cut of the money.

[koptommy93]

.El zhar must be the oldest "young player"  ever! 

He's been young for about 7 years haha!

If it's any way possible for them to get a top half finish they'll want it. I don't think Ellis Short will take too kindly to Bruce throwing a game.

I doubt they'll beat Man Utd anyway but they might get a point.

[rocco]

Think I would prefer:

Reina
Glen Cara Kyrgiakos Agger
Masch
Maxi  Pacheco Gerrard
Aquilani
Kuyt 

?

[jambutty]

any streams yet?  I'm in a tv wasteland today

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

He's been young for about 7 years haha!

Him and Ben Foster are poster boys for Oil Of Olay.

[electric_bloom]

Didn't they get a draw against them earlier in the season?

[RigBon1892]

Didn't they get a draw against them earlier in the season?

Yes, Man Utd's second highest scorer this season got a point for them.

[Babel Time]

Anything other than a draw please. I would love an empathic victory, even if it does gift united the title. The positive in that is that it would give us a target for the future, to break their record. Wouldn't be too upset if we lose though 

[AriGold]

Any news on the team yet?
