My main concern is that Rafa will continue to chop and change early on on next season. And will probably "prioritise" the early stages of the CL as he did last season and the season before. Which will invarebley mean IMO we'll drop out at the same stage of the league domestically.

I'm not totally sure but I think a similar pattern emerged the season before where he seemed to rotate heavily in the early stages of the season, then around January onwards started to pick a more settled side. I may stand corrected, but at that point everybody was saying "Rafa has seen the light" and never a false phrase was spoken, because he started needlesly tinkering around at the begining of this campaign, and openly admitted by November he'd prioritised the CL because we'd already dropped out the title race.

My only conclusion to this, to help the manager and team focus on the league. Is to get knocked out in the qualifying rounds of the CL .... Bad really saying that. But I think we need to right the CL off for  one year so Rafa HAS to prioritise on the league from the word go.

[NANNY RED]

Im off in a minute to the game cant wait to batter these.

WERE GONNA BOUNCE IN A MINUTE

Enjoy the game Nan, these encounters are usually quite exciting.

Last time I went to White Hart Lane we got beat 1-0, Paul Stewart scored from a Gascoigne cross, that wasnt exciting.

[zarababe]

2-0 to the reds.

Then the Euro Chmpionships to look forward to - Spain with Torres Torres !

[dawson99]

id say there will be a fair few goals today, 4-2 liverpool stevie first goal

[The Manhattan Project]

I can see it now.

EURO 2008.

The final.

Spain versus Holland.

Halfway through the match, Kuyt, Babel, Torres, Reina, and Alonso say "Hey....we shouldn't be competing against each other...we are LFC brothers"

Then they share the trophy and take it back to Anfield.

  THAT BE COOL, the 1st club to win an international trophey,

[The Manhattan Project]

I think it would be a great gesture for the sake of international peace.

Arbeloa would run onto the pitch and release white doves.

Huntelaar would start crying and say "I want to join those guys".

He'll sign his contract with LFC right there on the pitch.

Can't see us winning at Spurs with Itandje in nets.  He's fu.cking hopeless.  We need the backup keeper spot sorted this summer too.

[The Manhattan Project]

According to Manhattan's sources, when they said "calf injury" they meant that Snowy, Reina's pet cow, accidentally ate too much cake and has a bad stomach.
