The Derby is coming

[Chang Elephant]

Under some rock somewhere, there will be a referee buzzing at the prospect of refereeing the most celebrated derby match in England, at the home of football, in front of the world's best fans, and a team in Red known for it's fairness and sporting abilities. The expectation of this weak minded cretin will be that Liverpool FC should win this which will show in the decisions given.

Anyone else buzzing at the prospect of us facing Liverpool in a weeks time. We appear to be coming into form at a good time and Liverpool appear out of form although this counts for nothing on the day. I'd be absolutely made up with a win at Anfield

It's the derby at Anfield so no i'm not looking forward to it. We could have Messi and Ronaldo playing and they'd still up their game and beat us.

Christ we already have one derby thread far too early is a 2nd really necessary?

Crystal Palace is our opponent tomorrow.

 

[Connor]

Excited ? Looking forward to it ? Christ no. I'm terrified.

 

[Eggs]

....early thought and at the risk of being vaulted, I wonder if the reds will be more effective away from home at the moment.

 

[witchdoc187]

we've been here before havent we? the record has to end soon. As i am going its unlikely to be next weekend.

Whoever's going to win the league, it sure ain't them. They lost 6 games in total last season - once we've done the business at Anfield they'll have lost 4 of their first 6 this time out.

 

[George Elliott]

Would love it if McCarthy scored the winner

Park. The. Bus.

Be clever about it. Earn a draw, batter them at home.

 

[Dozbik]

I'm going to be brutally honest and i hate to say this; but i can see West Ham getting an absolute pasting.

mate.

 

[tadpole]

Would love it if McCarthy scored the winner

Match ball has Steven Naismith written on it mate.

There firm is ready

 

[Christiffa25]

With our changing team and improved squad I'd like to think the mental thing is getting less and less.

There's only really IMO Jags, Distin, Hibbert and Osman who would be that way wired these days.

Think Jags could be on too much of a high that he doesn't have to face Suarez again, that the mental thing of playing liverpool will be small fry.

 

[MartSlinger]

Mirallas will be up for this, as will Naismith.

 

[EverBlue86]

Just a shame sturridge will be back, I'm 90% confident we would do them without him in the side.

Just said then this West ham result will only make us fume more when we bottle it as usual
