We are crying out for width... teams are crowding the middle and we can't break them down... in our two matches so far we have got out of jail owing to moments of magic from individual players!!

Today was lucky!!

Reina - Quality
Arbeloa - Poor, got turned a few times and offered nothing going forward... he is an average player at best, at least Finnan would get forward and would gaurantee at least three to four good crosses per game...
Carragher - Ok
Skertel - Good defensively but gave too many balls away with 30 - 40 yard hopeful balls at best
Dossena - Good defensively and tried to get forward, has the makings of a good left back
Kuyt - Fed up saying this... great workrate, poor shooting, poor passing
Alonso - Very poor today, uncharacteristically gave away a lot of possession
Gerrard - Was ok, but like Alonso gave away a lot of ball
Benayoun - Crap! Why he persists with this clown I will never know! Manages to take it around 2 players and then mislays a 10 yard pass and always manages to find trouble!!!!
Torres - Always looked dangerous but was starved of good quality ball
Keane - Some good link up play with Torres which was encouraging but he too didn't receive enough quality ball

jesus lads what a game... emotional rollercoaster!!

Feckers ryanair crashed the site as I was processing me flights for the Chelsea game... 45 euros all in... then BANG!!

Easyjet still have all in flights for 50 quid sterling which i quite good...

Have tried the usual suspects like the adelphi, holiday inn, marriot etc for accomodation but they are all 140 plus for the night... anyone else got a suggestion of where would be decent?

Isn't that the station 'Statto' Angus Lougran works for? Remember him in Fantasy Football with his pyjamas at the breakfast counter? I think he commentates for them occasionally, so it's probably his baby.

the same statto recently declared bankrupt from gambling debt... still works for the BBC on their racing coverage  :-\

Thought he gave it a poor ride (although Nicholl's susequently taking the blame for tactics does clear him somewhat),  I would be of the opinion that it's the jockeys job to get the horse round no matter how suspect the horse's jumping is - that's what they are paid for.  He hit at least 4 fences, nearly landing on top of the second last.

Has Ruby been elevated to the pantheon of untouchables then?

WHAT lol

Did the horse get round... um yes! job done then in your eyes?

If you had of watched Ruby over his career riding for Mullins or AJ Martin you would know he has never ran like that before... last time you will ever see Kauto Star run like that ... the horse would also have won had it not been for the error two out.

In your opinion he gave it a poor ride... in what way did he give it a poor ride, by riding to instructions... surely not his fault then...

Major f$%k up by Ruby, he lost it and he knew it.

How can you blame ruby... this is the first time the horse has been pushed to the front so early a decision taken by the owner and trainer... ruby was riding to instructions and would have won the race if it hadn't of crashed at the second last!

If you knew anything about racing you would have seen that on all previous outings...

Eircom!

A bunch of f**king tools, been trying to order an auto-dialler line for a lift for over 6 months and the tools have came out twice, had a look and still no auto-dialler!!!

Yes the same loup team who have struggled for points in the league this year, haven't a recognised county forward, or a forward of genuine scoring potential, a suspect full back line and a huge over reliance on Johnny McBride.

Stick with my opinion, Dungiven the bet of the weekend!!

Dungiven have to be the bet of the weekend... Loup by no means a 1/2 shot at the best of times!!

Stiffler with all your exxxperience I would have thought you would have known a few decent bars in the capital!

Where you looking to drink, North or South of the canal?

Any of the bars around the temple will have the Liverpool game on with most of the Dubs either in Coppers or Quinns

I think "personally" the fan card system works well, although you do need to be well aware in advance of the release dates.

There are a lot of package deals catering for Liverpool fans but with overinflated prices, they also claim to offer overnight accomodation in Liverpool, if you read the small print you may find yourself staying in Wigan!!!

Failing that, if you can get yourself affiliated with a supporters club, there always a great source for match tickets and always good for a bit of craic too!

Could have got an easier tie but still should progress handy enough!

Was trying to look into tickets for first few games of the season but first two fixtures sold out already
