Liverpool v Stoke Match Thread

[sean_lfc]

As I traditionally liked being the one to start up the match threads, I'm getting in there early today. Woke up at 5:35am. Beautiful Berlin sunrise. It was so beautiful I cleaned the kitchen window to fully embrace the rays of light and life. August 17. 2013. The year we win the league. **** YEA!!!

Line-up to follow.

Can't. ****ing. Wait.

EDIT:

Liverpool Line-up: Mignolet, Enrique, Agger, Toure, Johnson, Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson, Aspas, Coutinho, Sturridge.

Substitutes: Jones, Wisdom, Allen, Alberto, Ibe, Sterling, Borini.

GO REDMEN!!!

Lol. Although technically we'd win the league next year Sean, May 2014

I guess I should really encourage people to use the build up thread until there's team news or something, but whatever, its the first day of the season and I love the enthusiasm, might as well roll with it. Bring it on

Got up at nearly the same time! I'm usually dead to the world about now but my mind won't let me sleep.. Come on!

You just inspired my reading all of Wiki's entry on Assassins

I had thought about the 'year' thing once I'd posted, thought about using 'season', but it sounded **** lol. Also thought about using future tense, but it didn't have the jazz.

I also agree about posting match threads early, they should come at kickoff -1h. But after the dearth of posting quality over the summer months I simply couldn't wait to get back to business!

I'm off to buy 8 bottles of beer soon, so happy we got the early kick-off as well! Lay down the law with a 5-0 thrashing of Stoke!

I was up at 4.20am, purely because my 11 month old seems to have decided recently that anything past 4.30am is being lazy and sleeping in.

Should have started a match thread then just to steal your thunder.

Really looking forward to today and I'm sure it's going to be 3 points to us. League will be close this season and I think we are going to surprise a few people!

Sod the V festival. The festival of football starts today.

[Muddled]

I'm in the office and I don't think I'll be able to get away until 6pm.

I've SkyPlussed the game, but I really don't think I can hold out until then. I either avoid the internets for seven hours (eek!) or just take it on the chin and rely on you guys for the commentary.

My last hope is that I can watch it through the BT stream, but I don't know if I need software to do so. Tense times, I'm sure you'll agree.

Other than work, I'm buzzing that the footy season is back. I often question football and whether my first love of 30 years is diminishing ... but then it starts again and I can't get enough of it.

Football is aces!

Getting home and walking out of Lime Street is still one of the best feelings ever.

Lets maul these dirty cunts. Mark Hughes is a cunt.

[SB]

3 1/2 hrs to KO. Get in.

[kingfunk]

Traditionally the team is named in the match thread, I'm not down with this' I do what I like attitude!
Anyway YNWA let's rip stoke a new one today
