I hate this games...

I'd happily settle right now for a boring incident free 0-0, with nothing of note happening

Why?...because u just know that something bad is going to happen, it is going to go against us, and it's going to involve Suarez in some way or another and the whole of next week we will have to listen to the same old cunts banging on about it

I'm worried now.

edit: haha, nah just kidding, i was already worried sick tbf.

The devil on one shoulder has been giving me chapter and verse about what you mention will happen.

But that's off set by a sad little bloke on the other trying to convince me Suarez will run the show, get taunted and hacked but all the time keeping his head, acting with respect, and scoring the goals that win us the game.

Right now the Devil is winning, he just said..."See, even Ptp agrees with me"

DBF is clearly worried, frist the spares character assassination. Now its Sturridges turn: Sturridge signing 'a gamble'

Sir Alex Ferguson believes Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has taken a punt on signing striker Daniel Sturridge.


Having been left with only Luis Suarez as a regular striker when the last transfer window closed, Rodgers moved quickly in this one to supplement his forward options.

Sturridge is an England international. But his four caps equal the number of clubs he has played for, with a period on loan at Bolton in addition to spells with Manchester City and Chelsea prior to his big £12million Anfield move.

He could start alongside Suarez in Sunday's eagerly-anticipated Old Trafford showdown, but Ferguson feels his ability cannot be taken for granted.

"The big issue for Liverpool is whether they include new signing Daniel Sturridge," Ferguson told United Review.

"Certainly the arrival of Sturridge gives Brendan Rodgers more strength and options up front.

"Sturridge has had a few clubs but I don't blame him for jumping at the chance of joining Liverpool because he just wasn't playing regularly with Chelsea and I always rate a player whose priority is wanting to play.

"Even so, his track record moving between a number of clubs suggests Brendan Rodgers is taking a bit of a gamble, but he clearly knows what he is doing."

The old cunt is obsessed with us. This coming from the man who signed djemba djemba

He can do his talking to the press and i'm sure we'll do ours on the pitch.

Anyone else take a draw now?

[BigChief]

A draw feels dirty. I'll take whatever comes. If refs make us lose then its there for everyone to see, and another reason people will rejoice in the streets when DBF retires/expires.

I'm treating tomorrow as a training game to give vital minutes to Allen, Wisdom and Sturride all who need it for the upcoming games. We need to beat Norwich and then Arsenal after this non-event of a 'game'.

[Shaggy]

Yep I would.

And Bebe.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Yep I would.

Yeah me too, they're scoring for fun and we're still finding our feet.

Given the results today a draw would be good for us, a win would be fantastic but we're more likely to lose than win so I'll accept the draw

Hendersons energy will be missed. Hope Suarez doesn't just get isolated while we sit deep for the onslaught.

[Marina]

Would really rather have Henderson start. Meh.

[little dave hedgehog]

no "sturride."

[S-RED]

Allen won't start, hendo will
