Chelsea v Liverpool

[jd_1984]

After a cracking day in the league yesterday, including the first Man Utd defeat of the season by Wolves. What do you reckon to todays big fixture?

I am going 3-2 Liverpool win. Plenty of drama, but the reds to snatch it!

[joggerjayne]

I had a bet on Liverpool yesterday.

I bet on ...

Brighton ... (won money)

Arsenal ... (lost money)

Liverpool ... (to be advised)

Mavericks to beat Loughborough Lightning (won money)

Lots of horses ... (haven't checked yet)

[jd_1984]

Ive got £5 bet on the above score at 40/1. Come on reds dont let me down!
Got a sneaky Birmingham away bet as well, I think they will put a couple past West Ham. And the South Wales grudge match Swansea vs Cardiff, my money on Cardiff to win 2-1. Lets see what happens!

im having a double on liverpool and cardiff to win,also leslingtaylor in the 3-35 at muss.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, I didn't pick a score.

I just bet on Liverpool "to win".

[jd_1984]

JJ - 9/2 for an away win at Ladbrokes. To be fair its always a big match that could go either way, the only way to win big is to get the result/score/first goalscorer spot on and risk a decent stake on it. My mate gone Liverpool, 2-1 with with Meireles first goal scorer and stuck £20 on it! The return will be hundreds if it comes in.

^^^Boo!!!

[rowanwitch]

first scorer suarez.....just a feeling could be wrong...

[jd_1984]

^^^^ Good shout, he looks sharp.

[rowanwitch]

he looks bl00dy evil...good buy by the reds

[joggerjayne]

Arsenal were winning 4-0 at one point.

I thought that was money in the bank for me.

[jd_1984]

If we had Carroll fit, I would put a lot more money on it. We need a season best performance from the likes of Kuyt, Johnson and Maxi with Gerrard and Meireles strong in the centre, and we stand an excellent chance!

> Arsenal were winning 4-0 at one point.

Yes indeed. I get text notification of every goal etc, and it was very depressing viewing for 70 or so minutes...

I can't see Chelsea losing today...

[joggerjayne]

Text updates?

Yes, I can see that would have been depressing ... 2 texts in the first 3 minutes !!

I got home just in time to post a "LOL Newcastle" thread in "Sport" and then had to eat my words.

[jd_1984]

Mark - On paper re the result today, Chelsea shouldnt loose - I grant you that.
But Liverpool will have their newly restored passion and confidence, should be a great game (for a neutral - I am LFC fan if you didnt guess)

[Francis Asis]

Chelsea 3 - 1

[joggerjayne]

Liverpool 1-0

[MarkRae]

> Text updates?

Yes. As I live nearly 300 miles away from St James Park, a season ticket wouldn't be practical as I'd never be able to get to enough home matches, so I have what's called a "12-man" ticket. Apart from priority booking of tickets for away matches (after the season ticket holders, of course), I also get text messages of things like the home and away team line-up for each match, notification of goals, red cards, half-time and full-time scores of not only the Toon match but all the other premiership matches played that day, etc.

I shall certainly be watching it - I'm a NUFC fan if you didn't guess.
