      Come on you Red men  !   3pts and 3 goals is my prediction, 3-1 to us and a perfect start !


      + the minute applause for Sir Bobby (RIP)

      Is the minute applause not 15.59 rather than at 16.00 just a minor point but I'm curious !

      I'm so pumped for this one (last season's phrase brought into use there! :D)

      It's going to be a tough game, it always is on the opening day (unless you play a sh*t team like Arsenal did yesterday ;)) so I'll be happy with any win to be honest. With Skrtel expected to partner Carra I think we will keep a clean sheet. If Gerrard and Torres are on song it will be a comfortable 2 or 3 nil win and even if they aren't performing to their best someone will step up and we will nick the points.

      Come on you Reds!

      IMO, I think it's good to have a team like Tottenham on our opening day. Remember when we had new promoted Sheffield United in 2006/2007? We drew :S

      At least the lads won't sit down for the most of the game and don't take it too lightly. Come on, Reds! Get 3 points( and if you can, win by 6 goals!).

      Liverpool Football Club never accept anything other than three points. We've gotta go full throttle from the off to let them know they're dealing with the real deal here.

      If we go there and look for a draw then already we're conceding two points. Sod that, all out for the win and show, not only Spurs, but the entire league that we're in another title chase until the end. Arsenal have gone and won a tricky away game, as have Man City and Wigan won the toughest match of the day, though the Latics shouldn't be anywhere near the top four. So we can't afford to go to a difficult away game and just settle for a point.

      Right at them and get the early goal. Take the sting out the match and hopefully get another just before the break. And the second half will give us more space as they'll be coming at us looking for the goals.

      Their defence is threadbare, their midfield is very attack minded. We can get right into them if we attack. The front four, which every four Rafa goes with, are the key tomorrow. Attack, attack, attack as the Kop would say.

      At the back, Carra will have Defoe and Marty will f**king inilate Crouch. As for the wide men, Insua will take Joey Jones' stance on things, put the winger in row z in the first minute and tell him if he tries that again, he'll put him out the ground. And Johnson on the right will sort Modric out no end.

      Piss easy.

      So come on you Redmen, do all us Kopites proud and start the season the way we intend to carry on. No poncing about, there's nothing to be scared of. You are the best side in this league, we all know that, so go and prove it again. Just remember what we did down there last year, f**king battered them and only the width of the post/bar kept us out.

      I'd be tempted to risk Babel on the left if, and only if, they play Naughton at right back. If Babel is this confidence player we all hear about, then he'll have more chance of regaining confidence against an untried youngster like Naughton than a seasoned campaigner like Corluka or Chimbonda. If Stevie is injured, which he isn't, then it's gotta be Yossi in the hole. Nobody else is good enough for that role. Lucas in the middle with Masch, Nando up top terrorising their sh*t defence. And with the f**king clown Gomes in goal, shoot on sight lads.

      3 points to kick the season off with. And we'll worry about where we could of improved later.
      Whoa, there hoss, Im not suggesting we go ANYWHERE looking for a draw. What i meant is at the end of the day if we came away with a point its not the end of the world as long as we put in a half decent shift. Of course any win is great, but id like to see a performance.

      I'm the opposite mate.

      Don't give a sh*t about the performance on the first day. Only interested in the three points.

      3 points is all I want, don't expect a great performance. My fear is that Rafa will be cautious and try to make sure primarily that we don't concede.

      Of course mate, you're right if we can get the 3 points great . But some people think this is going to be a stroll for us, hopefully they're right, hopefully we go out there and wipe the floor with them.  But it dont work out that way sometimes, look at the game last year, one of our best away performances of the year , we should have been a few up by H.T, and we came away with nothing.

      I might catch the first 20 minutes or so at the airport.  F***ing SKY moving this game back!

      Anyway, for what it's worth, the last time I was stuck on a plane during a reds game was when we beat the Mancs at Anfield in the FA Cup clash a few seasons back. So I hope that's a good luck omen.

      Spurs will be determined to show they can take that extra step up.  I just hope that we take the chances that fall our way and get our season off to the perfect start (and after two defeats at WHL last season we need revenge).

      Good luck mighty reds.

      Can't F***ing wait for this one!!!  Going to the pub after dinner to watch it.  The season didn't start yesterday, it starts at 4pm today. ;)

      We'll show them bitters how to play against a team from North London.  I reckon it'll be a close match though with probably one goal in it.  Looking for Reina, Kuyt and Torres to boost my fantasy league team too. ;)
