Liverpool v West Ham Pre Match

[Kenneth]

Eh? He obviously names the team at least 24 hours before kick off, as far as im aware the leaked team has always been 100% correct. I'm not blaming him for the leak ffs but he at least should be aware that it's happening.

It was wrong against Stoke.

It was wrong against Stoke.

what part of it was wrong? If so that's the first time i've known it to be wrong all season.

[RedReet]

'kin joke that we all know the team 24 hours before kickoff. What possible benefit can the Hodge have for naming the team so early? If we know the team 24hrs before kickoff you can guarantee that our opposition do too. Handing them a significant tactical advantage in my opinion.

Ancelotti always names his team publically the day before their matches and they seem to do ok (well excluding recent results).

Clearly word has got round - opposing teams now listen to Ancelotti's press conference the day before.

Can't remember. Shaggy posted it and it was way off. I agree though, it's too accurate to ignore, although today's was pretty obvious.

[Ben_Itez]

That wasn't the joke one he put up was it?

[Craig_H]

Probably

Thing is, I'd give Craig's right arm to see us play a blinder!

Leave my ****ing arms alone!

[anfieldanfield]

We won. But Spurs will asbolutely SPANK us next weekend.

I'm trying to dispatch logic into a dark cupboard and convince myself we may stand half a chance...

Never know I guess, Spurs can be hit and miss, but at home, having just beaten Arsenal, with their tails up and Defoe fit, against us, without Gerrard, lost, confused, **** and rubbish away from home...

I might stick £100 on Spurs at evens.

[Craig_H]

Seems like printing money. But i'm not sure.

You're right that they'll be full of confidence after beating Arsenal. But that's exactly the scenario that Spurs tend to make a habit of ****ing up. And it's after a CL game too.

Logically, we shouldnt stand a chance, but i wouldnt put my house on Spurs, put it that way.

When you're student, £100 might as well be your house

Heh, I probably wont back it to be honest due to the Champions League game...

[Craig_H]

Sounds like i've talked you out of it...

I dont want to be on the receiving end of blame, if/when they beat us

[Fernandinho]

I want Spurs to have a really hard game so they can be **** vs us. PLEASE LET IT HAPPEN!

[Craig_H]

We only need a point in Bucharest on Thursday night, and we'll qualify for the next round - so Roy has the option of resting key players - while spurs wont have that option - but roy wont have the balls to do it.
