It could save Roeder's job if Newcastle win.  Any scent of their first bit of silver and they will forget about the Premiership performance.

bring them on if we are gonna win this cup then lets do it the hard way and prove all these newspaper articles and other managers wrong arsenal next then chelsea in semi's then we can finish off with wycombe in the finals ;D;D;D;D my prediction is that liverpool win 3-1 and 2-1 today in the prem clash

I don't think the barcodes can forget about there Prem performances they have been awful and even if they done the unthinkable and actually won the cup I don't think it will be enough to save Roeders job

Newcastle for relegation 

Listening to the crowd chant EASY EASY againts the reds today hurt, they still sing we won the league on merseyside for gods sake.
If your going to the quater final, like me, get behind the Red men and lets create an atmosphere to put the s4its up Arsenal.
Thierry Henry has stated that the only other side in the prem he would play for is Liverpool, for the simple reason of the support. Now they had the last laugh today, come on lets deafen Henry and his southern softy shandy drinkin foreigners and get the season back on track.

we should field a young team out

we should field a young team out

i kinda  agree with that but i want to win this cup heres the team i would go with:

===========Reina

=finnan=carra=agger=warnock

pennant=gerrard=alonso=garcia

====Fowler= Crouch

subs: kuyt, dudek, hypia, gonzalez, riise

not the strongest team but its a strong team

Strongest team possible, dats been rafa's dwn fall taking theses competions to lightly look at burnley a few yrs bck!

i think we will beat them 3-0

                          Renia

              finnan - agger - carra

pennant - alonso - zenden - gerrard - riise

                          garica
 
                           Kuyt

Talkin about a strong side?


...................Reina
..Finnan..Carra..Agger.. Aurelio
.................Alonso
........Pennant....Gerra rd
.Bellamy.......Kuyt..... ...Gonzalez

  I kno Pennant is lightweight but i'd prefare him to play more central than normal i think he has great vision for passes!

But when our best team is back and fit


...................Reina
..Finnan...Carra....Agge r.....Aurelio
..................Sissok o
..........Gerrard.....Al onso
..Pennant............... ...Gonzalez
.....................Kuy t

A lot of fans go into The Albert, its on the right hand side as you come out of the Kop right next to the ground,      Enjoy the game 

put out youths, this trophy is more worthless than a big mac meal

?
as a supporter, seeing your captain lift a trophy is far more important than a big manc meal

i think we should play lindfield and fowler up front five kuyt and bellers a rest. and we could see lindfield against a proper big team.

I couldn't really care if we got knocked out of this cup. Besides, we got the FA Cup & the CL to look forward to...

hey a cups a cup and if we were to come away with only the carling cup i think everyone should be happy with that as its better than nothing....and we shouldnt be too selfish...bring on arsenal with big team....weve got watford after arsenal so why not go all out???

Too true stev lad.

We are only a couple of games away from a final already.  We have a big enough squad to do some damage in more than one competition.

And this final will be played in Cardiff and its become an annual Pillgrimage! We won the first cup final played in Cardiff now lets finish it as we begun 

Another cracker lined up for Tuesday night.  Bet Arsenal are going to pissed off at us now we are above them.

It's going to be a good test for us to see how if we have improved playing against a top 4 side.  We haven't done too well against them all so far in the Premiership.

Even Pennant is starting to look half-decent.  Hope he gets his first goal against his old club.

I've got a good feeling about this one, the Reds are looking more like their old selves now, and yes, even though it galls me to say it Pennant had a good game today, the jury's out on him again !!! 

just got the tickets for this game, so hopefully we can win i think we can win this cup this season

As the title suggests, tonights game is postponed due to heavy fog.

I'm from N Ireland but i'm in australia for a year.  Yeah i'm in Melbourne where the aussies are going to go up 4-0 but the mcg isn't anything to do with my username.  Couldn't get tickets for the test match but got some for the first day nighter at the mcg so maybe England will have something to cheer about then  Where are you from AussieRed?

Pity about the match tonight.  The fixture congestion worsens!

Yeah back to bed i go

Gutted, I was already to get comfy and watch us smack The Arse !! 


When we gonna fit this one in  

no one knows yet smig

With Wycombe through, after beating Charlton 1 - 0 at The Valley, I just wonder if Arse4ole Wenger will put out a stronger squad V's us if we draw Wycombe in the semi ?
Bt the way, the first leg of the semi is either 9 or 10th January

Oh my god did wycombe beat charlton ?

yes mate 1 - 0, Carson had a stormer in net. Charlton got booed all the way through the match

I'm from Melbourne mattmcg...live out in Narre Warren...can't go to the test bcoz I'm working...work at the RACV....but we got tv's in and around the joint, so will catch as much as I can

I walked out of College earlier and bloody hell the fog was bad.
I knew the game was going to be called off eventually.
But if you think if it was bad down at Anfield... few miles down the road from me and this is how Prenton Park looked! Tranmere's game was also postponed.

I'm in Doncaster just outside the city. Where is Narre Warren? Tickets for boxing day were like goldust and I couldn't get any. Maybe get some for the fourth or fifth day if it lasts that long!! But def going to the first onedayer. Disappointing about the match earlier wasn't it?

Gutted, I was already to get comfy and watch us smack The Arse !! 


When we gonna fit this one in  

Three days after the FA Cup game .... Henry is expected to be back fit.

January fixtures piling up already.  Feel sorry for all the reds for who last night probably was a Christmas present organised by their girlf/s, wives, etc etc etc. 

I hope the fog's gone by Saturday cos I am a bit back in the main stand...!

Just saw that this morning JD, typical isnt it ? as soon as Terry Henry's back 

just seen the match has re arranged for 9th jan 07 on sky sports news

is momo due bk then

Don't think so mate, I'm sure he is out for 3 months as from mid November

Yeah !!!  got my ticket for the FA Cup on the 6th, cant wait for that tie, we will really have to stuff them so they dread coming back to Liverpool 4 days later !!   

its goin to be a good old week all rite. the fa cup first up and then the legue cup. tricky viewin then. but hope it all comes out ok. win boath. havnt we got the chaves in jan aswell?

Narre Warren is in the south eastern suburbs...near Hallam and Berwick approx 40kms out of the city. Very dissapointed about the match being postponed coz now Jan is gonna be pretty full on, but we arte the Reds and have a big squad ..... so I'm sure Rafa will be rotating squad...for sure!!!


good luck getting tickets....I'm just going to savour Warnie getting his 700th on Channel 9!!!

Yep. Sat 20th Jan Dinnertime ko  (12.45)

<Liverpool v Chelsea>

Not too sure where we got to with this thread but I have it on very good authority as to why our match was called off against Anfield.

Although the fog wasn't 'that bad' Sky had problems with their HD cameras in the Fog and would not have been able to transmit their High Def channel that night.

Just for those who travelled half way around the country you can thank that bunch you pay £50 to every month!!

SKY TV eh.  Far far too much power in English football.

what about KUYT

It would be a great foundation to beat Arsenal in FA cup this weekend, work on to the Carling Cup Tuesday. I know Carling Cup is less prestigeous but to get one over on Arsenal after our 3-0 loss this year would be nice. Follow that up with a league win in March and we are laughing. All games (Bar second leg of Carling Cup) are at anfield so why not. Lets reverse that 3-0 loss earlier in yr on Saturday in FA cup
