-----------Kuyt------Gerrard------------Benayoun.

Is Kuyt included within your team because you know Rafa will pick him or in your view does he merit a place?

 

I'd play that team without Kuyt, bring in Riera (assuming he starts mid-week) and switch him with Benayoun.

[Iantn]

But obviously he'll keep playing Lucas Shithouse, Little Miss Sunshine, Mr. Undroppable who would rather be Forrest Gump than a professional footballer

 

What?

 

I can just about work out that you are calling Lucas a shithouse but beyond that I'm struggling.

I'd have you in the job tomorrow

Anythng but a failure to win will end our season. Not sure I fancy our threadbare squad under that kind of pressure.

Our season is already well and truly over. A bad result against Everton and it would just be even worse. That's all.

Saying that, I fancy us to get a tight win anyway.

Believe me, the Evertonians aren't too fucking confident about their 'threadbare' squad either.

 

We should just hammer the bastards no matter what eleven we put out. I have quite a few Bitter friends and, if some of our fans don't fancy it next week, I can tell you that they're absolutely shitting themselves. And we owe them for that FA Cup thing last season. Get right into them!

[Torvald Utne]

So a win will end our season? Strange.

[Monster Masch]

So a win will end our season? Strange.

 

 

No, clearly a failure to win will end our season.

[Strontium]

So a win will end our season? Strange.

 

 

Well done, you spotted the deliberate mistake :whistle:

 

It should read "Anything but a win will..."

[Torvald Utne]

No, clearly a failure to win will end our season.

 

Is that what he wrote though? Clearly it is not.

[Little Sammy]

No, clearly a failure to win will end our season.

 

Our season has already ended. It would be naive to hope for a miracle by the French, or that Chelsea would miraculously drop fourteen points, with all the other eight teams behind them also dropping more points than us. Face it mate, it's over. And the longer we're stuck with a cautious manager without a single bollock, the worse it will get.

[The Golden Eel]

The only svaing grace here is that they're struggling too...

[AngryOfTuebrook]

The only svaing grace here is that they're struggling too...

And they're Everton.

 

When we're on a good run (like last season or 1988) they piss on our chips.

 

But when we really need a win, they're always there for us.

[PaulMcC]

Yes, it's wrong Ant.

[kop]

The Derby is the perfect match to have now. It's a game where recent league form doesn't matter, it's a war and the team fighting the most will win. Our team has a lot of fight in it, a lot of unrealised anger and potential, and we are going to unleash it at the scum on the other side of the park next weekend. It's going to be tough, it's going to be war, but that's exactly what we need now. We are winning that match, believe me. I've seen into the future and we are going to twat them good. Not only that, but the win we will get is also the turning point to our season. You heard it here first.

[WaltonRed]

There set pieces scare the shite out of me

[Iantn]

At the minute mate, who's don't?

[Liverpool lad]

It is a knack that Cahill or their record signing will score

[PaulMcC]

There set pieces scare the shite out of me

 

Same here.

 

We need to start signing taller players.

[ferryman]

We need to start signing taller players.

 

A bit late now, me think. The match is next week and the window is closed until January... :smile:

[Brownie]

They are looking shite at the moment but we're not much better.

 

For once i'm actually glad of that old cliche, 'the form book goes out of the window!'

[PaulMcC]

I can't fucking wait to be honest.

[Red Mist]

Don't wanna sound too negative but we have no chance of winning this. Away from home, star striker out, others also out injured, abysmal form of late, and against a team that riase their game 10-fold when they play us... I'd be very surprised if we win this.

[PaulMcC]

Haha.

 

You couldn't sound more negative for someone who doesn't want to sound negative.
