The bookies have us at 16/5 for this game. I'm sure we were evens last season? Interesting given that they're just as gash as us so far...I wont be betting anyway because I'll be too drunk and/or emotional. COYB please, just this time show up and show these bunch of foul language removed who we are.

An Oviedo winner would make me cry for the 2nd time in my adult life.

I'm asking for 11/1.
 
Am i the only one who doesn't care about the game on saturday? If we lose in the current form then i'll be sad, sure. But in regards to losing a derby it won't really hit home in the game way as all those sick feelings watching us getting battered by them over the past few years.

If we turn up and beat them then i will be absolutely made up. But away from that if they win then i wont be hiding in work on monday, i'll just be like, so what.
 
as long as we have a go ill take a 2-1 defeat.

If we go there for a point we'll get bummed and ill be pi$$ed off like
 
I have always said im happy to lose (not often mind you) if we go to beat the other team, comnpared to the former belief we had of fearing Reading / QPR / Tamworth. I mean come on, we feared Tamworth under our predecessor!

The problem we may have though is we went to win at their place last season and Barry thinking liverpool did sign him all those years ago took our best player out. Tactically we were terrible and gave them (another) easy win.

We NEED to be 2-0 up at half time. there is no 2 ways about it. We need to have a cushion and hit their defence on the break all afternoon after we do. No arsing about, just direct belgians / ghanians / irishmen going at them. I would keep naismith away from the ball unless its in the box and he is in space. I would keep Mcgeady away from anfield altogether, not a fan and very very wasteful and ineffective when i see him. We also need to make a collective decision that we aren'y going to play the 'how many goals can we gift the other team?' game and remember we cant win if we are doing our usual tricks.
 
I agree with all the lads saying how important coleman is for us.but its quite alarming knowing the loss of 1 full back has such a massive impact on us. Both defensively and in attack
