West Ham vs Liverpool (Sunday 6th of April 2014)

[Russ Atmosphere]

I was half asleep, but he said he wanted Rodgers to end his career at Anfield

What a weird comment to make about a young manager on his first contract still, and that contract winding down too.

[RedRazor]

If the Gooners drop points today and we pick up all three then we will be nailed on for a top three finish. Nine or ten points ahead of them and a massive goal difference effectively giving us an extra point with only five games to go.

 

(I would be made up if the Blueshite got the fourth CL spot purely because it will damage Arsenal financially - but I will deny ever saying this if quizzed and will insist that someone hacked my account)

[Baltar]

Let's be honest, I think we know Carroll is going to have the game of his life and will likely score today. He can be a real handful and will be pumped up for this. I think we'll win but it's going to be tight.

[Jairzinho]

Giroud is absolutely fucking shit.

I'd actually like to see Arsenal beaten for 4th. Purely because I find it ridiculous that a club like Arsenal only ever strive to finish in the top 4 and have no ambition any longer of actually winning a trophy. If Everton qualify for the CL I'm certain they'll maker a better attempt of trying to win it than Arsenal have done in the last 5 or 6 years.

Word on the street is Agger is out injured. Possibly sakho replacing him

[Boss]

That might be a blessing in disguise.

I agree but more-so because I think Everton will hit their ceiling whilst it will do extensive damage to Arsenal

[Adebisi]

It better be Sahko playing if Agger is out. The thought of Toure playing any of our remaining games is the stuff of nightmares. 

[matt1983]

I know Hartson said it at lunchtime on BBC but where has he got it from about Agger? Brendan didn't say anything on Friday did he?

[Jennings]

I am worried about this game.

 

Mainly because all talk has been about the upcoming City and Chelsea games. This is a real hurdle for us.

 

There is an extra ingredient needed in winning the title. Its a kind of mettle - sort of a mixture of 'bottle' and resolution. I hope we have it.

 

I'd like to see us play to our strengths today. Enjoying it and not looking nervy, but keeping good discipline in our last third, in terms of fouls etc.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Two-shinpad per leg day. Allardyce teams always try and clear out the opposition playmaker in the first few minutes, refs don't red card much early doors. Mignolet will have his work cut out with wrestlemania at corners.

[moof]

Team news anybody?

[fowler9]

Sakho in for Agger, obviously would rather Agger be fit but glad to see the beast that is Sakho get back in and think he is our best option against Carroll

[BCM]

Sakho for Agger rest unchanged

[Megadrive Man]

The Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Johnson, Flanagan, Sakho, Skrtel, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Suarez, Sturridge.

Substitutes: Jones, Toure, Cissokho, Lucas, Moses, Allen, Aspas.

[Elite]

Obviously looking to blitz the fuckers.

[Paco]

going for it again.

 

dont fuck about now sakho.

[Russ Atmosphere]

There's been errors aplenty in Sakhos previous games. What's up with Agger now?

[moof]

I reckon win this and we win the title. No pressure lads

[RedRazor]

3 points

no card for Gerrard

no injuries

 

in that order - anything else a bonus

 

off to the alehouse now

[Major Tom]

3 points

no card for Gerrard

no injuries

What else actually is there?

[TheDrowningMan]

What else actually is there?

 

No red card for Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling, Coutinho etc, etc...?

[Megadrive Man]

 

 

off to the alehouse now

 

You're playing for West Ham?

[Marko121]

Agger with knee injury. Allen was in team too but has a knock but fit enough for bench
