"This is a crucial game in the this group as Liverpool lie in second place on seven points, while Monaco are one point behind in third place. Monaco come into this game with the news that their captain Julien Rodriguez will miss the match after suffering an ankle injury, while Lucas Bernardi is also a doubt. Liverpool will be boosted by the return of skipper Steven Gerrard, but Milan Baros will be out of action for at least three weeks with a hamstring injury. This means that Liverpool are short of attacking options, as Neil Mellor and Florent Sinama-Pongolle are the only recognised available forwards, but midfielders Harry Kewell and Luis Garcia could be asked to push up an help out in attack.

Liverpool have already defeated Monaco 2-0 on the opening day of Champions League games, and this should give them good confidence coming into this match. In their last round of matches Liverpool had a great win 1-0 away in Deportivo, while Monaco lost 1-0 in a tight game against Olympiakos. The Reds do have some big problems up front in this match. They are without Milan Baros and he is their main striker. Domestically, Liverpool have struggled away from Anfield and I'm expecting them to have a difficult game against the French team, who have to win to keep in touch with the leaders. As a result of this, Im going for a draw here at 9/4 with Coral [£10 Free Bet] This is a difficult game to predict, but both teams are out of form. Monaco have not won at home in the French league for four games, and were hammered 1-3 in their last home game. Liverpool have little attacking options, but the return of Steven Gerrard in midfield should inspire them. Get on a draw here 1-1! "

it's the 2nd european cup competition after the champions league. hardly mickey mouse.
and when we were getting to semi finals and quarter finals, before the burra were even in europe, they were the ones calling them pub sides that we were playing. have never called them pub sides. I agree its europes second tier competition but still i for one would like to be competing in. I take your point that you as an individual may not have taken the mick but the amount of discussion and arguments i had with geordies on here last year regarding the competition is countless. They took the mick out of our attendances and you are now experiencing the same problems in the competition yourselves!!Celtic man but I opften read with interest the threads about the rivalry within London and that of the East coast and ofcourse the Liverpool/ Manchester rivalry. I am sure you agree most of it is as daft as the Celtic/ Rangers nonsense but I have to say you lot are WAY more childish. Atleast we really DO hate each other.
I was reading the thread about the Chelsea away support this morning and it just makes me laugh that Chelsea are even MENTIONED in the same breath as Arsenal and even Spurs. For me they are no more than on a par with the Fulhams of this world, difference being, for NOW, money makes them a very goos football team but purely in terms of history and FANBASE they just ain't there, are they?
I'd be interested to know your opinion in Englands GREAT football sides; Clubs with history and fanbase, teams with potential, teams who could pack out Wembley on their own. Heres mine
