Pre-Match Thread Liverpool V Southend United: Monday Feb 14th - FA Youth Cup 5th Round

[chris wood]

Just heard on Liverpool tv news that the above date is fixed for our game against the Reds.
It may be valentines night but what a chance to see our true love Southend playing at one of the great stadiums.
So lets hope we can arrange a big following to shout the lads onto victory.
Also a chance to sit on the famous Liverpool Kop and sing for Southend!
(Yes Liverpool open the kop only for FA Youth cup fixtures.)
Got to be worth a trip!

Ah mate but think of the yoof who'll probably never play at such a stadium in their short careers. We've only played there twice(?) in 105 years (I think....)

Yes, we've played them 5 times in three cup ties. Beat them at home 1956/7. Lost at home in the replay after an away draw the following season and then, more recently, the away defeat in a replay (when referee Keith Hackett gave us nothing all evening!) after the home draw in 1978/9.

Thanks for putting the record straight Mick. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Youths. Lets hope they do themselves proud!

& don't forget the Derrick Parker 1 on 1 early on when 0-0. The useless **** repeated his poor showing from the origingal game! Its up there with Revs poor header against Chelski at home when we were 1-0 up!

Yeah ok..:stunned:

 

[Badger74]

What a draw, my weekend away is now complete.
Valentines day so what she used to me not being around!!!

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

i would say about 150 from us,

No chance. Club might possibly run 1 coach, which would be mainly filled with families of the lads playing.

 

[Pubey]

there'll be a few exiles too i'd guess.
