It's a minor point, I know, but how come we're playing on a Tuesday again? Thought it alternated Tuesday/WednesdayTuesday/Wednesday? We played Debrecen on a Tuesday?

They are not that bad, although they are missing Gilardino for the game, I just have both eyes firmly fixed on sunday.Originally posted by Neil Young View PostWith all these changes being mooted I can't help wondering if people are getting confused between the Champions League and the Carling Cup.
Or are Fiorentina really that bad?* The above is posted in my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

Could be a good time to give Aurelio and Agger (if fit) a start ahead of the weekend's monster clash. Might also serve to remind Skrtel that he has some stiff competition at CB.
Still it's a very tricky away game against a tough side. Would it be too risky to play two potentially rusty players? Would have been nice if this had been one of the easier games in the group so we could have rested a few players here.Originally posted by Pablo1981 View PostCorrect Shaggy - im actually paying Insua a compliment by saying we can rest him, Aurelio does need some game time and I think this could be the perfect game for his comeback. I would still start Insua against Chelsea, he's done nothing to deserve to be dropped, Aurelio is going to have to earn his spot back.
What about my other point though, does anyone agree that these group stage matches have lost some of their glamour and excitement? I used to be well up for these games a few years ago, now it just doesnt seem such a big deal, shame.
Talk about being angry about taking the CL for granted then you talk about resting some of our players for Chelsea!
I think as we play Tuesday and Chelsea play Wednesday we can afford to play our strongest XI, expecially as our two stars in Torres and Gerrard were brought of early doors on Saturday.
That said, I would have no complaints if Rafa did rest players as you suggest. My prime concern this year is the Premier League and that should be given the most importance. By that I mean that if Torres or anybody else can only play one game then it should be the premier league game that they should always play.Forwards.......

I'd be happy with that! Only question is, has Babel done enough to earn a start? Possibly in place of Kuyt with the Chav match in mind?Originally posted by JohnDoe View PostReina
Johnson Carragher Skrtel Insua
Lucas Aurelio
Kuyt Gerrard Riera
TorresMe, I’m either planning a holiday or I’m on one.

It wasn't Monaco, was it?Originally posted by Shaggy View PostApparently we are going for a Champions League record tonight, having scored in each of our last 22 CL games. Another goal tonight and the record is ours. Amazing stuff really.
Can anyone remember the last 0?.
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.
