So do I MsG, Dirk is an absolute gentleman and true professional.

Is right RedRoy and according to King Kenny he'd make a brilliant coach at the end of his career.

That's only because he doesn't rely on petrol to get up and down the motor-way though MsG. Not sure if he could carry the entire side on his though.

Indeed he is mate.

Really hope I can get finished at work for this game. What's everyone planning to do if they're at work? Any chance you's will be able to sneak a peek?

Was good to hear Johnsons comments today. Hope he gets a good run out tomorrow.

Full marks for Dr Waller who, recognising the club media team were close to passing out in the heat, rushed to our aid with much-needed bottles of water. Thanks Doc.

Top man our Dr. He always used stop and say hello when I was a steward. Although, that could possibly be because I might have looked rough when it was those early Saturday kick offs.

Hmmm......2pm kick off, must make sure I'm back from the gym in time.

When you would normally be snoozing your head off

Oh I don't know DLS, I think even our Dirk could cope with that 



They don't call him Superman for nothing 

^^^ On hols so I'll be able to watch, bit worried about his Superman shorts though Msg.I wonder how redsonfire has gone so far, is he going to the game?

Never realised it's an earlier one tommorow, 4pm on LFC TV.

Sorted.

Enjoy your hols RedRoy, yeah those shorts do look a bit dodgy don't they  I don't think ROF is actually going to the game.

Xabi is out of the match with a "minor injury".

In other words he's ruled himself out.

Great.

Xabi scared of the reception from the fans after whats been happening off the field? Hmmm.

Rafa Wants Win

The Reds boss wants to see his team get their first win of pre-season when they play Thailand in Bangkok this afternoon.

"We know there is going to be a fantastic crowd here and that they will be giving us great support, so of course we want to win for them," said Benitez.

"When you come to a country like Thailand and see all the supporters then it again makes you proud to be the manager of the club. I hope we can put on a show for the fans tonight, but it won't be easy.

"The only thing wrong with our games so far have been the results, especially the last one in Vienna. The players are working hard in difficult conditions out here, but we are preparing them properly for the season which is when it really matters."

Yossi Benayoun has a slight ankle injury

The midfielder has a slight problem with his ankle and so won't be risked in this afternoon's friendly with the Thai national side.

"We have a problem with Yossi but the rest of the squad are fit and available," said Rafael Benitez.

"Those players who came back late have only been training for two days so we have to carefully manage the times for each player. Torres can't start a game of this level but he will play near the end if everything is okay.

"Most of the squad will play some part in the game."
