Lucas.

I've a feeling we might see Lucas in the middle with Kuyt right and Yossi or Riera wide left. It depends on our approach but if we go direct and with a high tempo from the start, we'll need to win the second ball high up the pitch. Lucas is better suited to that than Yossi is. Also I can't see us starting with Reira & Yossi. Or Aurellio & Insua. Or with Dossena in the starting XI. One of those would be the most likely be the option if Lucas starts and Bennynoon is shifted inside. Rafa will probably pull on one out though. I just hope he waves it at Wenger.

They're scrapping to stay out of the relegation places though now. I'm wary of any team at the moment. They all deserve our 100% attention.

I don't agree that Arsenal have got nothing to play for. There's six games left, A win for them tonight would put them within 6 points of us. I'm sure Wenger knows that catching Man U is very unlikely, but finishing second would be massive for them considering the lull their season took. Wenger would also love to start building momentum towards the CL Semi, and a good result here tonight would be a good start towards that. I don't trust the Frenchie. He talk with forked tongue.

One thing the Taylor Report did not mention was that we gathered 1,500 witness statements from people living near the ground who said there had been heavy and sustained drinking by a significant minority of Liverpool fans before the game. What? Like at every other football game I've ever been to? The Taylor report took that into consideration mate and concluded it had no bearing. That had an influence on events, because people arriving in that state tend to be agitated and more difficult to control. That's your job. Controlling a football crowd in an agitated state. It's an FA Cup Semi Final. The majority of Liverpool fans are loyal and dedicated people, but that minority caused a problem. No different than at every football game then... t***.

Surely him saying he's not going to be there next season regardless is stupid thing to say... Surely if he thinks he'll do a decent job he'd dangle him staying on next year as a carrot to the squad.

He plays as Liverpool when he plays PES.

Hard to put a + on being beaten 6-1 with a 6000 mile trip except the thought of beating Fulham. C'mon you Masch, come on you MIGHTY MASCH

I 'd like Rooney so suck his own eggs. And then break his own legs.

So long as Vornonin is Ok.

Oh well. No van Persog then.

Not likely. Although. IF he's serious about leaving if Arsenal IF they don't strengthen sufficiently... And he wants to go somewhere with a better chance of winning trophies... with 18 months left on his contract... With Rafa's reputation...

1-0 v Man U Molby (Pen) September 1988 Not sure about my first sit on the Kop. I seem to remember sitting a lot in the Anny Road and the main stand.

Robin van Persie. Shhhhhh. Don't tell anyone. bbc van Persog?

Thinking of the run in... anyone know who we / the mancs have suspended and are one yellow away from suspension in Europe? I think Rooney's on two. I've got a good feeling about Porto for some reason.

By the letter of the law I though it was a nailed on red. The thing that's saved Friedel is his effort to get out of the way. if the ref had noted that at the time, he might have just yellowed him. Corinthian spirit and all that.
