Liverpool v Arsenal, Sunday December 13, 2009, Pre/During/Post Match [R]

First gymnastics meet of the season tomorrow, so I won't see this one live, and I'll be in a building where I get no mobile reception. For once I'll have to do the "DVR as if it were live" thing -- I usually can't wait that long.

If we can take 3 points, we are in better shape than I ever dreamed we could be again after the Chelski match. Let's go you Gooooooners!!!!!

 

a day like today was a blessing, we NEED to get maximum points in anfield. with a game still in hand, this is a game that we need to let the EPL know we are serious...

screw the injuries, we need to grind out a result!!!!

 

Haven't been this excited for a match since United and City earlier in the season. This is huge.

 

agreed. hopefully we get better results than those games.

dare i say this is a season defining game

 

Doors are being opened, can this team step through? I feel this is a must win as a statment game now with the other results. I really hope we can muscle through this, put a stake in the skums heart and leap back into contention. Please Wenger, no crazy line-ups tomorrow. No Silvestre or Song as CB's, no Walcott as CF, no Arshavin on the bench to show we can do whatever it is you wanted to show us. Best 11 on the field at first whistle, no dicking around.

Man I am pumped. Off to try to sleep before the pub for the match.

 

a goal in the first 15 minutes would be nice. Anyone else sick of hearing that every game?

Kill.

 

Has Almunia caught a cold again? Please? He hasn't caught much else lately.

 

burn

 

cmon arsenal

torres is back, but hopefully song will deny all passes to him from their midfield!

 

Here's hoping they play Aquilani - we tear players like that apart.

 

Have to say I am even more skeptical than usual. A weekend where everything goes our way? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

 

Shocker

 

Does Arsene and Arsenal breed skeptic fans?

 

Naw we were skeptical long before Wenger, winning f-all for years and years will do that

 

Don't know why I even bother setting the alarm on matchdays.

 

Every game is a season defining game...

 

I hope the weekend ends perfect as it started. What a day yesterday, all results in favor for us. Now is it up to us to make most of it.

 

The arsenal site has Rosicky and Eduardo listed as out due to injury.

Who starts at the other wing spot? Wilshere, Walcott, Vela?

 

A lot of you get your wish

Theo starts

Good lucke Arse and Arshavin, hopefully the dominance will goals today.

 

looks good, come on andrey anfield arshavin!

 

I expect Theo to have a big game today, to be honest. He usually shines in the spotlight (Milan, 2 Liverpool's, Chelsea FA Cup, Villarreal, when we needed picking up at Birmingham after Dudu's injury)

 

Here's hoping they focus so much on shutting down Arshavin that things really open up for Nasri & Walcott.

 

commmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee on youu arssssssssssssseeeeeeeeee

play your hearts out
