Liverpool v. Newcastle, Mar. 8, 2008, 3PM GMT [R]

[Chupacabra]

It's time for

http://storage.mp3ninja.com/images/artists/d/dead-or-alive/dead-or-alive.jpg vs. http://www.earthshaker-fest.com/img/misc/Artists/venom_band01.jpg

aka Liverpool v. Newcastle at Anfield (although considering our position on the table you'd probably think that Dead Or Alive was actually us). For us masochistic Yanks who want to witness this you can watch it live on Setanta ("I'm on Setanta Sports!") at 9:45AM EST.

I'm too lazy to mention specifics so go to these fekkin links if you want them:

BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/7272575.stm)

Nufc.com (http://www.nufc.com)

I'll just mention that Joey Barton isn't available due to the fact that the allure of Church Street Big Macs at 5:30AM is too strong for him to resist.

Newcastle fans: We want three points.

KK really has us going right now (http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/PR/oform.html). I think it's safe to expect more of the same.

I don't know if anyone brought it up earlier, but we can't win the league (http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/PR/runin.html).

Thx,

Jay!

You're kidding right?


Oh, and for those without Setanta (I tried to subscribe several times but every time dish network was having some kind of technical problem, oh well, their loss):

Should be a fun morning. That's about all I have to say about it.

Wait, I have one more thing to say about it. Martins better be in the starting eleven tomorrow.

[BayernWake]

I'd rather walk alone.

What exactly is KK king of again I forgot?

If there was ever a shock upset in the making it would be today with Liverpool resting key players for Tuesdays match in Italy. Of course we'll come out with all guns blazing and give up three on on the counter before the half. I say park the bus in front of goal and kick lumps in everyone in a red shirt and when that gets old, hoof it long and hope we can score on a set piece. If I want to be entertained I'll watch La Liga or Arsenal. We're shit, we need a point and we need to watch the GD.

Are you Big Sam in disguise?

[Shameus]

Line Ups for today:

NUFC: Steve Harper, Habib Beye, Jose Enrique, Steven Taylor, Abdoulaye Faye, Nicky Butt, Charles N'Zogbia, James Milner, Damien Duff, Michael Owen, Alan Smith
Subs: Fraser Forster, Oba Martins, Claudio Cacapa, Andy Carroll, Geremi

LFC: Jose Reina, John Arne Riise, Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Yossi Benayoun, Xabi Alonso, Jermaine Pennant, Alvaro Arbeloa, Lucas, Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel
Subs: Charles Itandje, Sam Hyypia, Peter Crouch, Dirk Kuyt, Ryan Babel



Why is KK still starting Smith, I actually like the rest of the starting lineup, if it was Carroll or Oba in there instead of Smith I'd actually be really happy.

Why is KK still starting Smith, I actually like the rest of the starting lineup, if it was Carroll or Oba in there instead of Smith I'd actually be really happy.Because he doesn't know what the ******** he is doing. Plain and simple. It got Fat Sam sacked, it will get KK sacked. The fat idiot on Setanta is saying Owen and Smith should cause trouble for Carragher & Skirtel. Ha!

Thx,

Jay!

[City Dave]

Good save by Harper ten minutes in.

There not looking too bad, but it's not he second half yet.

[ONE]

Why the hell is Oba not starting??????

[Toon³]

Why the hell is Oba not starting??????

Because Smith is a goal machine ofc :p

[City Dave]

That was actually a nice run by Owen. But I think he should have held off on the shot for a moment.

Alright, here we go, nice opportunity for a free kick just right of the box.

And...

another free ball for the fans!

[City Dave]

Here we go again.

Why can't dumb luck ever go our way?

1-0 guess who.

Plus, Milner really did get hurt earlier. Didn't look too bad though.

[JaredSS07]

Wow. Most unlucky play of the year. Now way Enrique deserves that.


And the floodgates are open.

[mister19]

We keep Liverpool from scoring for 43 mins, then Jose Enrique knocks the ball off a Liverpool player into his own net, and Torres scores a goal on crap defense. Unbelievable! Actually, quite believable given the way things have been going.

[City Dave]

Ha!

Was that luck? :rolleyes:

I don't think I can take another half of this.

Pathetic.

2-0

[JayRockers!]

Jose Enrique is the worst left back in the Premier League. Even worse than N'zogbia, who only plays about 60% of a game in that position.

Fat Kev could have put in Martins for Milner. But, noooooooooo. Why attack when we were doing so well defending?

Thx,

Jay!
