Oh great.

[Annasfield]

Is that meant sarcastically? This is the best thing that could have happened.

No matter what all fans will be behind him. There's been so much civil war it's been unreal. Unity will mean a lot.

[Emerson Crane]

So Woy has gone with what remains of his dignity. Kenny has been put in charge and you hope that he tells the players that they need to take a long hard look at themselves and start to play as if they actually care. Victory against the Mancs would be the perfect start.

[Annasfield]

9,000 of us at Old Trafford tomorrow. 100% behind the team and the manager. No matter what the result - I cannot wait!

[Keef]

It wasn't meant to be sarcasm. I hope this works out, but I think it could be a total disaster, with Kenny damaging his great Liverpool record (of 30 years ago). I also think it's sad that the fans are now going to be 100% behind the team. Shouldn't they have been doing that anyway? Anyway, the fans have got what they want, so here's hoping it all works out, but I think Emerson is spot on about the players. For me, the whole thing has left rather a sour taste to be honest.

[Annasfield]

They've no excuses now Keef.

What is Kenny going to mean to most of the players? Nothing I'd say. What he did as a player/manager was long before their time. His reputation is with the fans. I imagine most of the players will hardly be able to understand him.....at least not before they are dropped.

Leave the mind games to Ferguson, he's better at them yhan you. Or are you putting up a smoke screen just in case you get turned over?

Narnia, maybe at United the players don't know their George Best and Gary Birtles but at Anfield we look after our legends and players are well aware of who Kenny is and what he means to Liverpool Football Club.

I know him.through the east dulwich forum. Nice lad. Welsh.

[matthew123]

Lol MM

Narnia, I know these things... like I knew the 1987 Rugby World Cup 3rd place game was in New Zealand ;-)

[Annasfield]

It's true. The players are also versed about what happened at Hillsborough and not to speak to the Scum, etc.

Matthew - meant to tell you. Have you got the 08/09 season review. When Yossi scores at Fulham, you're on it going mental.

[matthew123]

Haha I've not got review dvd but have seen it a few times

Who, Kenny?

[brum]

Looking like we are in the hat for Round 4.... bad luck Lions.

[kpc]

Happy enough with that - a relatively easy run out before Tuesday.

[brum]

Nice to see us score 4 - a rare treat! The Hammers game could be interesting.

[mockney piers]

come on boro!!!

[Bluerevolution]

Oh dear Newcastle

Er, gone for a Burton.

Edited once it dawned on me that you probably meant Stevenage Borough.

[DJKillaQueen]

I was at that game Brum.....Birmingham will need to up their game if they want to progress much further. Millwall lost the game because the centre back was awol.....Shittu certainly was...well you know and what was the manager thinking in playing him after he's been out for six games!!!!

Your number 18 was excellent, snuffed out everything Millwall had in front of goal.......and Millwall were in front of goal far more than the brummies.....but just couldn't get it in the back of the net.....even when given a penalty (which reminds me.....the ref was Shittu)...

[kpc]

Think you mean Scott Dann (15) who was the only regular member of our defence playing today. Though Keith Fahey (18) appeared to have a good game when he came on for Hleb, according to the commentary. The 5Live Xtra commentary was also Shittu, but it seems that if Millwall had taken their chances it could have been very different.

Given the League Cup semi on Tuesday and a relegation six-pointer at home to Villa next Sunday, this was the least important fixture of the week and to come through with relative ease and unscathed is excellent. Also, good for Derbyshire's confidence to get a couple of good goals.

Expect 6/7 changes for the West Ham game.

[Bluerevolution]

Blody hell. Walcott admits diving

How many offences does he want to be taken into account?
