bit surprised maxi is starting to be honest, its gonna be workman like

first beer cracked

nerves setting in

COME ON THE LADS!!!

[Shaggy]

Totally agree with the side, although I can't shake the depressing feeling we'll lose. Very nervous now. If we lose the whole thing could unravel again. Same feeling as the last time we went there, days after beating the Mancs.

[Armchairkopite]

I'm not full of confidence myself but Dirk and Gerrard getting back to their best at the weekend should cause them problems.

I wouldn't have started Ngog myself but lets hope I'm eating huge slices of humble pie come 10.

[SK]

COME ON!!!!

[Darkon]

A lineup as expected, and one of the few matches I'm happy to see mascher and Lucas partner it in central mid.

Really looking forward to this match although I'm quite nervous about it! If we win it we will be in the race for 3rd, and that will great for us as a lot of competition is coming to the 3rd and 4th place.

Just watching the build-up on LFC TV and they're showing highlights from last season's game. How the hell did we not win? I'd forgotten. How did Gerrard miss that gaping goal from Kuyt's square?!

As ever the closer we get to kick off the more defiantly confident I start to feel.

[Shaggy]

So they went with Bendtner then...

[Daffy Duck]

I'm not confident at all. In fact I'm so nervous that I'm sick to my stomach. Not sure if I'll even be able to watch it, got some reading to do

[dizzycat]

I just hope that dick Arshavin is lame tonight.

[-V-]

Pleased to see that Sagna is left on the bench. They will bombard our full-backs still. We need a big performance from Steven Gerrard

[erikolaf]

I feel very nauseous, actually I am on the verge of throwing up.

[Lee]

I'm surprisingly confident on this one. Lets ****ing kick them whilst they're down.

[Chrono]

So they went with Bendtner then...

Not too keen on that, I rate Bendtner
