As its the first home game of the season and i cant wait for tomorrow to come i was wonderin if anyone had any favorite opening games they had been to over the years. My self i have 2 favourites, the 1st has to be the "GOD" hat trick against Arsenal and the 2nd was when Collymore scored on his debut against Sheff wed it was a curlin 30 yarder which bent right into the bottom corner, this was one of me favs cos Collymore was me favorite player in the prem at the time outside LFC and i was prayin that we signed him.....we did and he payed us back with that beauty on his debut!

I belive we will score many goals tomorrow. City are BAD defensive. And I'm sure Riise can take Shaun Wright-Philips on the left side!

I am very excited about the game tomorrow, hopefully Alonso and Garcia will play however because I live in the U.S. I won't be able to watch the game on tv, unless I pay for it on Pay Per View.

[LFC #1]

they can't play beacuse they weren't signed within the 12 hr deadline to play the next day, and they aren't registered for the CL gualifying satge, however they will be able to play next weekend and in the Cl group stage..

Didn't sign in time .......

Back to opening day fixtures...I remember the Collymore goal on his debut against Sheff Wed..... The next home game we played Blackburn who had Shearer and we were in the Albert singing "Who needs Alan Shearer when we've got Stan the man " We went 3-0 up against the Defending Champions after 25 mins .......

heskey scored against bradford on first day a few seasons ago to win one nil. nothing like wining on the first day- optimism goes thru the roof

Didn't we once win our opening game 6-1 against palace or something ....? That's my pick.

Yeah i remember that game the rock. We ran them ragged that day with McManaman running the show. A game that always stands out in my mind was the opening home game against Oxford in the 87-88 season. Waiting to see Barnes and Beardsley for the first time in anticipation after they had to do repair work on a damaged sewer underneath the kop. It was worth the wait though as Barnes & Aldridge scored the goals in a 2-0 win. You could see it was the start of something magical that season.
