You get the same effect when he swallows a pie whole
I'm thinking this could be postponed if the weather forecast is right.
Reason being, that the decision is gonna be made in the morning, & the heaviest snow is from 6am to 9am, then it will be lighter snowfall until 12am.
If you're looking to make a decision between 9 & 10 then it'll be swaying towards the side of postponing it due to roads & pavements, there just wont be enough time between 12 & half 2 to grit them all around the ground & make them safe.
Of course if the timing is off by an hour or any rain follows then it'll be game on.

I'm already planning to be in the pub. If the game is on but trains are off I'll be fuming
You could well be fuming then! Trains will be off in that weather for sure, but I think the match is 50/50.
Nope. I loved Sami but he's on the bench. Hansen and Lawrenson have to be the CBs - peaches and cream, those two. In a 4-4-2 formation:
Clemence
Babbel/Rob Jones (cannot decide between those two)
Lawrenson
Hansen
Nicol
Callaghan
Gerrard
Souness (capt.)
Barnes
Dalglish
Rush
That's a pretty tasty looking team JJ.
Ooooh. As insanely great a striker as Rush was, I’d love to see Suarez playing with those midfielders and Dalglish. Who could stop them?
That was my toughest decision but in the end I couldn't split up the Dalglish and Rush combo, though Suarez may well be the most individually talented of them all. Some who pick these teams drop Dalglish into midfield to accommodate all three, but I wouldn't - the King was a mere mortal when he played further back, and could sometimes get lost in the crowd.
The bench would be pretty special tho': Reina, whichever RB doesn't start, Sami, Crazy Horse, Suarez, Keegan, Beardsley.

You have to find a way to put Suarez in there
I reckon we'll win but it'll be a touch 1-0
A win by 2 or more goals puts us 3rd ... and I think we cut into the gap from City by 2-3 points as I think Jose will get a result there.
HOWEVER, I'll take any win .... Even if we have to get a scrap late own goal from Rooney to win 1-0.

1-0 will do
Rooney?
I would put Mane on the bench for this one. He looks like he's still recovering from his injury and I think some Everton dog will try and snap him rather than get skinned. If we need him bring him on at 70. Can't be doing with Mane out over this Xmas period.
Yeah - I can't see this going all clean either - I think they will try and put one of our players out. I remember very well what they did to Origi - and to a certain extent knocked out his confidence. I actually think we should start with Studge, Solanke, and Firminio up front, and put our three strong guys in midfield - in Henderson, Can, and Gini. Plus I think Milner HAS to play for his experience and tough character. Keep Coutinho, Mane, and Salah out of the game as long as possible.
Yeah but what's one game - I can see fat sam giving that team talk and getting them hyped up - and then Rooney opening his gobshite mouth and telling his mates - lets fuck em up. It will be savage this one - for them its survival and all - out for blood if they can get it. I think we can still beat them even with that front three - you just need Firmino to make it tick and Solanke has height and a bit of presence.
I do think your strategy could have merit - and if we did that then maybe for 45 minutes we try and blast them or maybe blast them in the 2nd half if nothing happens in the first half. Tricky this one - because they are playing shit and we are playing well. Big prize tomorrow - if we win we go third !!!
So there we have it then, try and blast them in the first half and if that doesn't work try and blast them in the second. Tactics solved!
Is it a blizzard up there or just a load of weathermen getting over excited?
It's wet.
They've changed the warning to just about miss us & it's now going further south & east.
It's just started to very lightly snow but that's it.
According to the met office there's now a 50%-60% chance of snow every hour between 9 - 3.

I woke up expecting a blanket of snow and its dry. Game on, as it were
Also is there anywhere better in town to watch the game than Flute?
Mccooley's is the standard answer I've had when I've asked that recently, but tbh, due to the location (concert sq), & the fact it's a derby, I'd swerve that suggestion myself today for fear of dickheads fighting.
Fair comment. On reflection, maybe swap him and Cally and go 4-3-3. Doing so would also decide the RB issue - Babbel would have to play there, as he knew how to attack from fullback. IMO Rob Jones was the most accomplished defender in that position that we've ever fielded, and I still want my fullbacks to defend when necessary, but he got a nosebleed if he crossed the halfway line.
McCooleys was quite Nice.
