    Monday 16th September 8.00pm Liberty Stadium

    Where to start with this one ? Well I don't have any team news because both clubs told me to piss off when I phoned but if you don't know the players by know then you have serious problems.

    We will be the ones in white and they will be in red (thanks to PGF for finding that out for me)

    I have found out a few interesting facts about Liverpool so I will share them with you......

    In the very early reign of Liverpool FC, the team used to wear a blue and white kit almost identical to that worn by Everton. It was only by 1894 that Liverpool was to choose the colour of red. This move has now been copied by Cardiff City except that they are 118 years behind Liverpool.

    The original capacity of the Anfield stadium was 20,000 with an average of 100 spectators in the first few games, something else that Cardiif City copied but for much longer.

    The Merseyside Derby is one of a few local derbies that does not sepearate fans or enforce fan segregation. This cannot be copied by Cardiff City due to the ensuing riot that would take place because people like Norway and Swim can't behave themselves <whistle>

    Liverpool FC was one of the first clubs to be televised in colour transmission. They also played the first match to be screened on the BBC program 'Match of the day' in 1964. Posters like Phil, Ivor and Dai remember it well.

    You'll Never Walk Alone" is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. In the second act of the musical, Nettie Fowler, the cousin of the female protagonist Julie Jordan, sings "You'll Never Walk Alone" to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband, Billy Bigelow, the male lead, kills himself to avoid capture during a failed robbery. This explains why this song is so popular with Liverpool fans <whistle>

    Also Liverpool fans are quite easy to spot, they look like this. If you hear them saying calm down they are actually from Liverpool too. If not they might be called Dai (sorry couldn't resist).

    Finally I'm sure we all remember the fallout from the Swimgate scandal last year and the open warfare that broke out between us and their fans. I'm just going to take this chance to ask our posters to let our mods get on with it and deal with any problems we might get from visiting posters. The big difference this season is that both supermods are regular visitors to this board. Minxy is always chatting our posters up at the Coed and Brb is doing extremely rubbish on the prediction thread. Any nonsense and they'll see it for themselves so let them get on with it.

    No predictions from me coz I'm crap at them but I can't see any hoofball being played, should be a good game

    Which ones Dai? ;);)

    In going for a 2-0 win with Bony and Michu scoring. They can't rely on Sturridge for ever and he might not be fit and Dracula is suspended.

    Ps, thanks for letting me know we'll be in white :rolleyes:

    this is a game we should be winning and it would be nice to see an assured win.

    if we approach the game with no fear we should win comfortably but liverpool are a good side no doubt, 1st goal is vital here I think.

    oh yes and nice effort dilli <cheers>

    Oh yes, the game is on Sky too, tight bastards like Phil will just stream it for free though.

    I'm doing some more research on Liverpool so I hope to add some facts as I'm going along. I decided not to include the one about not washing in case it offended them :laugh:

    Bloody cheek :laugh:

    To tell the truth a mate of mine who's a massive Man Utd fan told me that Liverpool fans are outraged by everything and ashamed of nothing and to be choosy what to put up. That's why I avoided Heysel. He told me a naughty song about them, do you want me to put it up here ?

    Yeah, any chance of this thread being removed ??

    Its fallen way short of the required standard, I thought it was made clear a while ago that any match thread over one sentence was a big NO !!

    If we improve our tachnical play with players in their proper positions then we have a chance of winning. liverpool will have to be off colour though or the best we can hope for is a draw. If laudrup don't do his homework and plays like we did in our first three games then its the banker of the day for punters wanting an away win....

    Right, just for you. It's your fault if it all goes tits up



    You are a scouser,
    An ugly scouser,
    You're only happy, on giro day.
    When your dad's out stealing,
    Your mum's drug-dealing,
    But please don't take.. my hubcaps... away
