Scottish Red

Yep, he is. Although it's partly cos of this: No, he didn't **** an ostrich. That's an example of the kidney stones he got taken out.

I did know that Jimmy and never understood it. Quite ashamed about it to be honest. Then again, that's the management. Rafa loved the Liverpool fans and the Liverpool fans loved him. As much as I trust in Rafa, it's easy to see philosophical and tactical differences...

I hate them... today anyway... <_< I can see why you like them...

Okay I'll have a go. And yes, I'm 100% biased: Howard V Reina - Reina is one of the few excellent signings by Benitez. Not the very best but still better than the overrated Cech in my opinion. Plus he's won the golden glove four years in a row or something. Lescott v Arbeloa - Lescott edges it but I do like Arby. Hibbert v Carragher - Carragher because I have man love for him but uh... Jagielka v Agger - Jags is a superb defender but technically I think Agger is better. This is one I'd waver on but my inner red made me pick Dagger. Baines v Dossena - Dossena is an alright winger but a pants left back. Baines is better. P.Neville v Alonso - Alonso is our best player at the moment. Fellaini v Mascherano - I'll say it IS close but I think that Arteta and Cahill are both more important for you. Mascherano makes us a different team. Arteta v Riera - I really like Riera but Arteta is on his day world class. Cahill v Gerrard - I kind of have to say Stevie. Plus I can't stand Tim Cahill. Osman v Kuyt - Kuyt works hard but Osman is a better player, simple as. Saha v Torres - I won't explain why. We agreed on more than I thought actually but feel free to argue. Personally I'd play Skrtel in the first team and move Insua ahead of Dossena. Insua is much better. I don't see the above as our strongest team at all.

Well, of course there will always be minorities. Some fans just take football too seriously I guess. It's only a game.

Jofanon? That's what I got called by my wee sisters as a little boy; my name's Jonathan and they couldn't say it right. Off topic but.

I'll admit, I don't understand why some Reds fans claim that the derby means nothing. When we beat you I get as much pleasure as when we beat any other team in the league. Perhaps if we beat the Mancs it'd be more pleasurable because of our current situation but Everton ARE our biggest rivals. I don't care what anyone else says. I hate other teams more than Everton such as Arsenal and Chelsea but I don't get nearly as much pleasure from winning. It's the derby. These things are supposed to be passionate!

As opposed to Moyes who said that the Everton fans were extremely well behaved. (One of the Evertonians threw a chair at Torres). Most managers are hypocrites. Rafa is one.

Munich songs are disgusting but again it's the younger generation. Kids these days. It really hurt me though. My family were indirectly affected by Hillsborough and we are half red-half blue.

Legend. Only joking.

Bill Shankly said a wonderful quote at Dixie Dean's funeral. (I'm sure Blues will take this the right way ) "I know this is a sad occasion but I think that Dixie would be amazed to know that even in death he could draw a bigger crowd than Everton can on a Saturday Afternoon" True quote. I wish Shanks was still alive. To be fair, times were better then and people could actually take a quote like that as banter...

You honestly think Fellaini is better than the Monster Masch? Disagree with most of them but then I'm a red of course. Although I'd say Osman is better than Kuyt. <_<

Forgive my ignorance but....where did you find that guy?

Yes, all Liverpool fans spell terribly. We don't have a clue. All Evertonians are articulate, wonderful people though. Note extreme sarcasm.

I hope that none of the bellends singing Hillsborough songs the other day post on here. Do the adult fans not pass this down the generations?

I don't vote on MOTM votes. It wouldn't be fair. Your best player was Jagielka in my opinion.

Celebrating history and moaning about history aren't the same thing Maghull. And people call reds self righteous?

As a Red I'll take it. It was less heartbreaking. Silly defending at set pieces to let you lot in AGAIN. Did they not get the hint on Monday? Blue defence was solid but we didn't help ourselves by crossing every single ball.

Indeed. We always do the opposite of what Lawro says.

That's like a Shakespearian tragedy. And how did one become a Manc.

I'm fully aware that Everton are a big team and always have been. I'm aware that they could have been a force in Europe if Heysel hadn't happened. And Mike, you are right, it's the truth. It is also a bitter statement though. It's a shame but you have to move on. Having said that, my blue cousins and uncle still moans at me about being denied a place in Europe in 2005 (as if it was our fault )

Haha, it does a bit. Funnily enough, my grandparents live where you live (West Kirby, Wirral).

As a Blue it might be hard to detect bitterness from your own fans, I do the same. It's what being a club's fan is about. Was I bitter last night? No. Everton deserved the draw and I think you'll find that 90% of Liverpool fans will agree on that. On TIA the first post in the post-match thread was "No more than they deserved." Being gutted and bitter aren't the same thing. And boy was I gutted. I'm sorry, but that IS a bitter statement...

Know it? I don't think it'd be too cocky a statement to say that out of the Everton team I'd only take Arteta, Cahill and Lescott into the Liverpool line up. Nice attempt a wind up but it's a typically boring argument. We're miles ahead of where we were 4 years ago. The idea that Stevie G and Torres make the team were pretty much proved wrong when we beat Man Utd and Chelsea with neither in the former and only one in the latter. 4 years ago YOU finished above us. We were UEFA Cup contenders. Now we're championship contenders.

So glad Kaka stayed. Class act that man and the best midfielder on earth in my opinion. Nice to see there's some integrity left in football.
