A Bedtime Prayer

RE*AC*TOR

The new season is looming large now. Obviously from my own point of view I'm very optimistic about the new season for Liverpool. But for the other posters here I have a few thoughts.

For the ManU fans - I hope your new midfield (Carrick & maybe Hargreaves) - gives you back your credibility. ManU certainly did well last year, but for a team who had successive players like Robson, Ince and Keane it was a little watery.

For the Arsenal fans - young squad - improving all the time - hopefully it will be a quick return to the form we were used to from previous years.

For the Chelsea fans - what I would really like to see from Chelsea - is overcoming some tough times - losing some really key players and still pushing through and winning - especially in the CL. A bit of humility from Mourinho would be nice too. Maybe Chelsea could be winners that people admired, instead of despised.

For the spurs fans - hope you get into the top 4 and the CL. The rise has been meteoric and it looks like you've finally found a manager worthy of the history of the club.

For the Aston Villa fans - well the money has arrived - too late for the transfers? Hopefully it should be a return to the right end of the table at least. A great club - undoubetdly the biggest club in the midlands - and certainly when I was growing up - I had a lot of fondness for it - cause it had half the Irish Squad.

For the Blackburn fans - sorry to nick Bellamy from you. Nice to see the team doing well, without the Abramovich-esque spending of the Walker/Dalglish era. Might be hard to improve on last year - nice to get UEFA Cup qualitfying though - maybe improvement in cup competitions.#

For the Sheffield Wednesday fans - (Big Nelly ) - gwan - surprise promotion. Might cheer you up a bit.

And for all us Ireland fans. We want some important wins. Things don't look good now - but remember - Kerr won all or nearly all his friendlies - and look where that got us - they are meaningless. Good times may be just around the corner. We haven't been in the Euro championships since '88 - in 2008 it will be 20 years - nice round number - Kevin Sheedy etc

As a Liverpool supporter why would you give up your 4th place spot to Spurs?
