Matteo left Stoke in the summer

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Stoke are a horrible bunch of c**** - their fans. A bit like the city really

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Skrtel to stand in front of Delap as he 'attempts' to take the throw in and stewards to have poop-scoops to remove the droppings from the side line.

I'd take a 1-0 but I really want us to stamp them into the dirt and send out such a big message to everyone else. Plus it'd scare the crap out of Everton.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

With Utd and Chelsea playing each other, we cant afford to shoot ourselves in the foot especaially with 2 difficult away games in City and Everton coming up.

[Paul_LFC]

I can't sleep until I know the ref. If it's either Atkinson or Marriner, we may as well bring stress balls to the match.

[Logic]

Just seen those throw-ins from Delap.... F*ck me! Those could pose a problem or two!

[Stevie H]

aren't delap's throw-ins technically foul throws? it looks like the ball leaves from only one hand, almost like a shot putt or a goalkeeper's throw. we should tap the ref up about this and appeal for every one as a foul throw.

[floyd the barber]

think we might see the return of agger for this game...

 

Maybe a rest for carra....

[Barnesy_10]

didn't want to start a whole new thread, but seen this on the BBC gossip column.

 

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has delayed the pre-match rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone at Anfield until just before kick-off. Historically, the anthem has been played while the players take the pitch, but the Spaniard said: "We thought it would keep the atmosphere right up until kick-off."

me neither. Atmosphere was fine up to kick off as we usually sing the players names.

Lawro says we'll be fine....*prepares noose*

 

 

  Quote

Liverpool v Stoke City

 

As long as Liverpool can deal with Rory Delap and his slingshot throw-in, they should win the game fine.

 

Liverpool are in a really good run of form, I hope Rafa Benitez doesn't muck about with the team too much because they are getting results.

 

Stoke's problem at Anfield will be getting enough players forward in support of the strikers, so I can see Liverpool winning comfortably.

 

Verdict: 3-0

not exactly news, happened against boro and united, thanks for letting us know auntie beeb!

 

anyway the problem is the stupid handshake they have to do meant that it's been much too early for the last few seasons. the bit of music that blasts out during the handshake always take the wind out of the crowd's sails after ynwa too.

 

this is i suspect why we've decided to play ynwa after it, because it tends to kick start the atmosphere.

 

it probably won't work though, once the players are on it feels odd to start singing it. just jib the handshake and play it just as they're coming out.

[Falconhoof]

I like it just before kick off.

So what's the injury news boys n girls ?

Ryan Babels goalscoring impact against Manchester United last Saturday was the 50th occasion Benitez has brought on a player who has scored.
