Hmm, how to persuade the wife and kids it's time to move? 

You will love it here ayrton half of South African are Liverpool supporters.Its great

Pumped, pumped, pumped! One thing i dont understand though, coverage here is one game every match day but they're showing Juve v Chelsea instead of us v Madrid. Like, why?

feel sorry for you. in india they've got like 2 channels which show champions league. so they'll be showing our game live and then show about 3 repeat telecasts next day!

Just bring 1 goal back to anfield come on red men

Like Dadorious said earlier, here in Oz, we have the CL matches on free to air SBS and the majority of matches on Pay-TV's ESPN for those who are lucky enough to have it.

Can't wait for it. I'm pumped also!

God, Im so up for this!!!! Come on Reds, if we can grap an away goal then we are heading through I'm sure of it. I can't see how Gerrard playing is going to be a risk, if he's fit, he'll take part if he's not then he won't, simple as that.

I tried so hard to get a tickets to head to spain for this game, but unfortunately something came up that I couldn't avoid 

In the build up to this game, Madrid have talked, and talked and talked. I love it when it's like that, go on put us down, like we need any more motivation!!

Come On Liverpool, bring us a goal back!

Was pretty calm today at work but when I was driving home I started getting all pumped up.

We can do these tonight. I'm loving the way everyone seems to be bigging them up.

Come on you mighty reds!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's brilliant! All I've had all day is everyone saying how great Madrid are, but Ballague (that how his name spelt?) makes a good point in an article on the Liverpool website that in Spain they generally give Liverpool the respect that we deserve, whereas in England we don't really receive it. But judging by comments from Madrid they are a bit to confident, but perhaps they would think that about us after our comments when the tie was drawn.

Amazing how times have changed since the draw, at the time everyone was predicting a Liverpool win, with Madrid in turmoil. Now they are on fire and we are in a sticky patch. But these are the sort of ties I love, two teams who cast a massive shadow over the competition going head to head.

I'm so exited and so pumped ..who cares about this inconsistent league form ...that's England this is Europe baby ! A whole different story ..if we bring atleast 1 away I'm sure we can progress to the next round during that magical nigh at anfeild later ! They will be too confident after the win against betis ...u know what ppl are so stupid just cuz they stuck 6 past Betis doesn't mean they'll stick 6 past us ...we're Liverpool f.c not Betis ! come on red men i have faith we can come away with a good result YNWA !

My bets are in..

Couple of quid on 3-0, Couple of quid on 2-0 and another couple on Alonso to score.

What price was your 3-0? I was tempted to throw a few quid on 3-1 before at 33/1

I got 3-0 for 90/1.

My 2-0 was about 30ish/1 and Alonso to score was 14/1.

Come on you MIGHTY REDS!!

Should be a very intriguing match. Bring a goal back to Anfield boys.

I got 3-0 for 90/1.

Let's see a 3-0 win tonight then reds!!!!!

Come on you MIGHTY REDS!!

Should be a very intriguing match. Bring a goal back to Anfield boys.

Three goals!! Three goals!!!

My bets are in..

Couple of quid on 3-0, Couple of quid on 2-0 and another couple on Alonso to score.

I hope you mean 0-3 and 0-2 JD!!!!

I hope you mean 0-3 and 0-2 JD!!!!

Of course yes.  Old habit of always putting the reds score first.

All I hope is that they makes us proud.

Of course yes.  Old habit of always putting the reds score first.

Good man!! My prediction is 1-2 torres and Kuyt, but then i'm ever the opptomist. Come on the redmen YNWA

Iv got 16/1 for Nando to score two. And 33/1 for Stevie to sore two. Hopefully one of them can do it. They are great prices. Hopefully Stevie starts 

F**k all this 3 - 0 sh*te I'd settle for 1 - 1 right now!

As were dealing in fantasy how much for Carragher to score the winner now that would be sweet.

Carragher to score the last goal is 66/1 in paddypowers. Idont think il be betting on that one though...

Game is getting closer now.

Pre-match nerves are starting to kick in although I'm quietly confident.

C'mon you Reds.

Gerrard might not play Can we win without him? We couldn't win without him against City.
