Bring em on...

The correct way to refer to Mourinho is to say he's special while twirling one finger pointed at the side of your forehead.

[MLB]

I don't feel at all confident about us getting out of this group. It's going to be really, really fucking tough.

[Mav]

Carra will get to lift the trophy if we win

 

God that would be fucking ace.

 

Even if it is only the UEFA Charity shield.

It's tough for everyone though.Nine points will be enough to go through.We'll get three wins somewhere.

[chorlton]

Betis and us to go through would make me v. happy indeed.

[Al Campbell]

Moanrihno is a special needs manager. The fucking window licker.

[Damian]

The other teams in this group will be more worried about us. John Terry said the other week he's dreading coming back to Anfield so the whole Chavski team will probably be shitting themselves.

[Red Nick]

Well this is what being a Liverpool fan is all about and our history in this competition just makes the whole competition that more exciting for all LFC fans, were at our best when everybody has written us off. Cant wait for the Betis game if thats first up

 

And especially for Rashid he now gets to see Joaquin in a Liverpool game, twice :D

[Rashid]

Leave him alone FFS.

[MLB]

We do tend to play better against better quality opposition, but Chelsea will be a nightmre and Betis could well do to us what Valencia did a few years ago. Which is a bit ironic when you think about it.... ;)

Don't worry, Djimi will have their dangerman in his pocket. ;)

[Strontium]

Am I just being paranoid but who says Chelsea are favourites?

Ah, well, we have these special shops in England called "bookmakers" whose stock in trade is to lay "odds" against teams based on the adjudged probablity of them winning a match or competition.

 

The team with the shortest "odds" (ie, the team considered by the "bookmakers" to have the highest probability of winning the match or competition) is designated as the "favourite".

 

Hope this helps!

I would trust Djimi to do a good job, as he did a good job throughout last season's competition and was one of our most valuable players.

 

I just think we're still susceptible to good passing teams (which I believe Betis are) and I always have a bad feeling when we play Chelsea.

 

Hope I'm wrong like.

Betis are more a team of individuals and are certainly not one of the best passsing teams in spain certainly not as good as Villareal, give Joaquin a good kicking and mark Oliviera out the game and its job done

[Redexile]

Can we stop with the talk of a fix. We sound like The Bitters. Weren't we in the so-called Group of Death last season? And now we are European Champions.

 

Chelsea hold no fear for us, given the way we have played against them. Anderlecht should be beaten. And Rashid will finally get to see the player he's fixated with in the flesh!

 

My first thought was aah shit but then the more I looked at the group the more I realised we can come out of it nicely....as you say bet the other 3 aren't happy bout facing us.

On a completely fifferent point why is everyboddy getting upset over Stevie G praising Chavski and Mourinho...he was just being polite he woulda looked a real gobshite if he came out with "naah don't wanna see them pricks and their twat of a manager go through !!!"

[drewy]

No one is getting upset about him praising that shower of shit. It was his comments about the Super cup and the 2 England matches which pissed people off.

[05 Milan]

 

Terry: wait a minute...I knew it! I fu**in knew it! You're Emile Heskey! You're Heskey with a wig!

 

Heskey: ehhhhh....ahhh....eh-heh...je ne parle pas anglais..?

[Damian]

Just get Warnock to put in a few hard tackles on Joaquin and he won't want to know. In the Spanish cup final last year, I think it was Osusuna gave him a good kicking early on and he went missing.

Correct and its quite easy to make him go missing :D

[MLB]

I'll take yer word for that then.

[Guest biscans 5stars]

[Kopite]

I'll take yer word for that then.

 

Think Joaquin is one of those players that if you let him play he will destroy you. However I just think that if he gets some rough treatment early on then he doesn't want to know. Just my opinion.

Cheers for that. Betting isn't allowed in my order hence my naivety on such subjects.

 

Hadn't seen the odds when I posted that. Have now.

 

Just surprised me that they are - as you rightly point out - favourites.

You want to see his back? Nah! He wants to see your back.

[Paul]

I think we'll be in trouble against Betis if Djimi doesn't play at left back; likewise Chelsea. Djimi Traore faced every single one of Rashid's "big name wingers" in English football last season (and quite a few from Europe) and not a single one got the better of him - but I guess that was luck, wasn't it Rash?

 

Much as I like Ste Warnock, I really don't think he's got the pace or, more crucially, the experience (particularly with positioning, and knowing when to go forward and when to stay back) to face the likes of Joaquin, SWP, Duff or Robben yet. In fact, I think he could get a roasting that would badly knock his confidence. I'm suspicious of these "Sven wants Warnock" stories for the very same reason. It's too early for him.
