Pre Match: The 212th Merseyside Derby

Woke up this morning with no butterflies and no worries about this game, what so ever. I have a strange sense of calm and assurance. Assurance that we'll dictate the game from start to finish, keep a clean sheet and beat the bitter sh*te by, at least, two clear goals.

LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL, LIVERPOOL - LIV - ER - POOL!


YNWA IRWFT

Ditto, except I'm goin 3-0

Certain elements of the press and media need to be silenced today and all knockers of this great club of ours.We need to show all of the doubters that we are a threat and not a team that looks like we have given up IMO THE RACE IS STILL ON!.And two fingers up to those who think we are finished.

Proper looking forward now.

Going round my Evertonian mates to watch it with another blue, two United fans and another RED.

Should be interesting.

Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!

See if the Bluenoses ask you to share a couch.

Enjoy mate.

Less than two hours to go.  I'm buzzing for this now.

Come on you REDS 

Very keen to see the line-up and subs for this one!

Time's going soooooo slowly this morning!

Come on Liverpool, let's F***ing smash these bitters!

I'm going for a 4-0. Gerrard hat trick and Mascherano with the goals.

Good on you.  

Team news should be in the next 30 minutes possibly, can't get hold of the lad who usually gives me the starting XI earlier than announced anywhere else, but if he does  i'll get it on here straight away.

I'm going for 2-0 to us today, Yossi and Aquilani

This is a must win game, especially on a weekend where Arsenal play Chelsea.
For anyone who thinks the league is not a realistic possibility now, we still want to be finishing as high up the table as possible so these are the only weekends (other than when we play to other top 3 ) when we know a win will definitely make up some ground.

Come on you redmennn!!!!

Team: Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Insua; Mascherano, Lucas; Kuyt, Gerrard, Aurelio, Ngog.

Torres underwent a long fitness test yesterday to see if he was fit enough and recovered enough without any risk so he might play a part today ....... and NO I do not know the outcome

Team: Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Insua; Mascherano, Lucas; Kuyt, Gerrard, Aurelio, Ngog.

Know any subs? i never expected torres to play but i was hopeful for yossi and aquilani

Said on SSN Nando wasn't on the coach so unless he's drivin in he ain't playin.
