v 5 May 2012, KO: 17:15 The good guys versus the plastic flag wavers. Time to make Fernando cry, alongside John Terry.
In for the win. They didn't look good against Newcastle with most of the first team playing. Actually they never really looked like scoring. But they defended well, it was down to sheer brilliance by Cisse that it wasn't 0-0. I felt that they simply didn't look dangerous and it will be very important who scores the first goal
Controlling the midfield and creating movement around the Terry is going to be key. Norwich lineup with Agger for Carra and Maxi for Downing? Spearing or Shelvey is a tough call. Carroll to start? Don't know. He's in pretty good form but terry can handle him if we just lump balls forward. On the other hand, Bellers offers more off the bench than Carroll, so perhaps a front 3 of Carroll Suarez maxi, with gerrard and Suarez close together in the right channel. Henderson needs a big game.
Hey, I've just noticed. It's my 10th aniversary with BS today. With 11,933 posts. Just sayin' Better let Kenny know now.
Rookie -- 11 and a half years and well over 17,000 posts. Like Carra, I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once, as I ever was.
Cara said that did he?! I remember saying that to a girl in a pool in SoCal too many years ago to post here.. Oh, and it didn't work then either.
Joined in May 31, 2000 and 15,670 posts .. and was on here before that, there was some sort of crash or something.
First match in a coon's age that I'm arsed about. Will be down at the booozer to enjoy this one. Let the Chel$ki blowup start on Sat and end on May 19th! Hard to beat a team 3x in a season but we did it to Everton so it can be done. I hope that Saurez continues his scoring and Gerrard plays right behind him. Make it happen, Kenny.
It seems that my 160 reps turned into 60 over this new 'upgrade'. Ah well, you know what they say...."Pride cometh before a fall"...so I'll just keep schtum. Managed to switch my work shift, just to watch my match against Norwich,(at 1.45AM local time) and then yours against Chucking Felsea. I sincereley hope, that you will put them in their place. All the best, Rog.
Ta, La. I'd rather you get third than that other lot from Norf Lahndahn or The Toon. And we both hate the plastic rent boys.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our Scouser dead. In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Let pry through the portage of the head Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as doth a galled rock O'erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean. Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit To his full height. On, on, you noblest Scousers. Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof! Fathers that, like so many Alexanders, Have in these parts from morn till even fought And sheathed their swords for lack of argument: Dishonour not your mothers; now attest That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you. Be copy now to men of grosser blood, And teach them how to war. And you, good Kopites, Whose limbs were made in Merseyside, show us here The mettle of your pasture; let us swear That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not; For there is none of you so mean and base, That hath not noble lustre in your eyes. I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot: Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry 'God for Stevie, Suarez, and King Kenny!!!
We're visiting my in-laws at the moment. Dad just ordered FSC for me so I can watch the Final. So grateful I can watch it on a large screen TV in English without worrying the internet police will cut the stream. THANKS! Come on you REDS!!!!
Blah - My niece's first birthday couldn't come at a worse time. Let's run them into the ground and score first. Reina Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique Henderson Kuyt Gerrard Maxi Suarez Carroll Bench: Doni, Kelly, Carra, Aurelio, Shelvey, Downing, Bellamy
Great news. I have a new HD tV upstairs, but my old basement tv is where I saw the 05 Champions League win and 06 Fa Cup win (and the recent Carling Cup win and semi final win). I have to watch tomorrow on the old TV. HD be damned!
