Build up for the theatre of prawns

[pondus]

**** me I hate these games, hate them! So many "friends", family members, pupils and friends of my children are scum supporters, and they won't let me off the hook for weeks if we lose. Hate it. Hope the boys make us proud tomorrow, go out there and really give it a go!! Nice to see Agger today saying "we are ready for it", looking really confident. Come on boys, make us proud, go out there and wipe your ass with those ****ers, did you hear me!?!

COME ON BOYS, MAKE US PROUD!!!

Ah fair point about Neville - Babel would murder him for pace. Checked a few United forums though and they reckon Ferguson will go with O'Shea at left back?!

Is Ferdinand injured still? I'm sure Carrick is out for them too.

I think you're right - can see Maxi and / or Jovanovic starting. If they both start I'll pull my hair out.

O'Shea at left back, is Evra injured or what?

No, i think Ferdinand's fit to play although i was watching LFC TV earlier and David Farclough reckons it'll be Vidic and Evans, bit strange.

With Cole coming back i don't think both Maxi and Jova will, i hope to **** they don't. Would rather Jova if i had to choose, don't think he's been anywhere near as bad as people make out. Ideally though we'd have better players and Jova wouldn't be thrown in at the deep end. Us playing 4-4-2 doesn't do him any favours either.

Yeah, I've never had a problem with Lucas really. Not a great player but he's steady and I think he's got more in his locker than an ageing Poulsen.

Babel needs a run. I don't think he's productive on the left - I still think his best game for us was the one against West Ham (last year or the year before?) when he came on and played RM.
Aurelio has an achilles injury I think

remember it well Lee, he set up Nando for his goal in that game... Torres immediatly acknowledged Babel when he scored (i think?)
I can't understand why we haven't played him there since ?

[Lee]

O'Shea at left back, is Evra injured or what?

Lee ya prick! Sorry - O'Shea will be playing right back they reckon.

remember it well Lee, he set up Nando for his goal in that game... Torres immediatly acknowledged Babel when he scored (i think?)
I can't understand why we haven't played him there since ?

That's the one! He set up at least one goal. Did he score one too? By far his best performance for us anyway pal.

this is ridiculous you wait weeks and weeks for a leak on the team line up for the big game, when you get told about the line up for the games you don't care about and all the itks ******s go into hiding.

I'm up in about 6 hours to begin the drive to Old Trafford.

I hate these games. Although the game at OT two years ago was one of the best games i've ever been to. Same again would leave me delirious

[Fredo]

Has the team leaked? Should have by this time.

[wiw]

Argh where's the team at?! I want to put some bets on

[wiw]

Oh, ok

Rumoured #lfc team for today - Reina; Johnson, Skrtel, Carragher, Konchesky; Maxi, Poulsen, Meireles, Gerrard, Cole; Torres.

[mellor]

Reina
Johnson
Skrtel
Carragher
Konchesky

Poulsen
Meireles

Gerrard
Maxi
Cole

Torres

[wiw]

Must be Cole on the left? I'm genuinely quite shocked that Lucas isn't starting, I thought he'd be guaranteed to start. Oh well. Nice looking team to be honest, solid enough but gives Utd plenty to worry about as well

[Fredo]

Hmmm, Lucas over Poulsen would have been the choice for me.

Has anyone seen Ferguson ranting about Benitez again? I hate this guy.

Other than Agger for Skrtel I'm fairly happy with that.

Other than Agger for Skrtel I'm fairly happy with that.

[Shaggy]

Would prefer Lucas to Poulsen and Agger to Skrtel - otherwise I'm pleased we've got Gerrard off Nando and Cole on the left.
