I got 8 out of 11 right for the Reading game, which was pretty good. I got the whole midfield correct which means I get to pick between a mini mars or mini fudge bar. I went for the Mars.
I said that everyone would die if Torres played, well we're all still alive so I let you off, only for the fact the Torres out Rushied Ian Rush. All he needs is a black 'tashe and everything would be right with the world. Oh, but if he doesn't start against Wigan, Rafael Benitez EVERYONE DIES!!! Seriously Rafa, wouldn't it be nice if we won the league? Here's the starting 11 for tomorrows game against Wigan, almost 15 hours before kick off. Amazing. I see Spanish people. I don't see French goalies.
Reina
Finnan, Carragher, Hyppia, Arbeloa
Pennant, Gerrard, Mascherano, Babel
Torres, Voronin
It can't be right, that's far too straight forward for Rafa. I picked Kuyt but then I changed it to Voronin.

Viva el Jan Molby: Vs Reading
Ok, this is going to be virtually impossible.
Itandje
Darby, Carragher, Hobbs, Aurelio
Benayoun, Lucas Leiva, Sissoko, Leto
Crouch, El Zhar
The 19 man squad on the BBC website doesn't have Kuyt or Voronin in it and if he starts with Torres in the Carling Cup..........well I wouldn't be best pleased. Maybe El Zhar and Benayoun will swap positions during the match because El Zhar usually plays right wing for the reserves. I would have put Insua in at left back because he definitely deserves a chance but Aurelio's a first team player who needs a game, which is probably more important at this stage of the season. Hobbs has improved a lot since the Youth Cup and pre-season friendlies a couple of years ago but I'm still not sure about him. Still, he deserves a chance. Disappointed Ronald Huth isn't involved though.
My magus, The Great Soprendo, hates me so I'm flying solo on this one. Although I did type this blindfolded while humming an ancient Himalayan chant backwards and wearing an Aleister Crowley mask I bought at Asda.

Viva el Zzzzzzzzzzzz: Liverpool vs Birmingham
Huh? Oh sorry, I nodded off there thinking about Liverpool's performance yesterday. I didn't try to pick the team because after my poor showing in picking the team against Portsmouth I've spent the last week in the mountains living in a cave. To help me with my quest to get a Liverpool starting eleven correct this season I took with me some important reading material, The Soccer Who's Who by Jack Rollin. Unfortunately in my haste to visit my mountain hideaway I took the 1989 addition with me by mistake (I wondered why John Lukic and Mark Walters were pictured on the front).
Obviously this didn't help much. BUT, did you know imaginary readers that in the 1986/87 season Brian McClair, Mo Johnston and Alan "Rambo" McInally scored a total of 73 goals between them for Celtic, winning the league title. Then that summer Celtic sold all three, McClair to Man United, Mo to Nantes and Rambo to Aston Villa. Next season Rangers won the league.
I'm ready to continue my task now, and the next game in the Carling Cup against Reading is going to be almost impossible to pick. There's probably about 40 players who could play. I phoned up the Great Soprendo for some encouragement but he told me to stop bothering him and if I phoned again he'd call the police. What a sense of humour my MAGUS has!

Viva el McLovin: Liverpool Vs Portsmouth
I CAN HEAR THE POMPEY CHIMES.Oh no, we're playing Portsmouth not Brighton.
Oh I've got a blog and stuff. I'll guess I'll pick Liverpool's team for today against Portsmouth. I'm watching Superbad and it's pretty funny. It reminds me of Mallrats which I really liked but then a million crappy indie teen comedy outsider films followed and I forgot that these films could be good.
Anyway, OH GREAT SOPRENDO MAKE ME SEE THE LIVERPOOL TEAM TODAY THROUGH MY MIDDLE EYE. LET ME DECIPHER THE SCRIPTURES OF RAFA'S TEAM SHEET.
Reyna
Arbeloa Carragher Agger Riise
Pennant Gerrard Alonso Babbel
Torres Kuyt
Utaka's the danger man, he's faster than Bud Flanagan's dog. Maybe Mascherano should play to get stuck into them, I don't know. Who do you think I am? If we get beat by a team with Djimi Traore in it EVERYONE DIES. Well I won't be happy anyway. Back to Mclovin and friends.........
