ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


Today I did some work in a house. The guy living there had all kinds of RS trash around his living room, a real state it was. Once he discovered that I was a clever chap who supported a real team, he tried to have a go. When did you last win the league etc . Of course, he mentioned 6 European cups and asked how many had we won. I informed him that we had never won it as we were denied the chance in the 80s when we had a great team. He started moaning about bitter blues and how it was not Liverpool's fault we got banned. However, he had no answer when I asked him who's fault was it then! This kind of talk went on and on, and he seemed a bit miffed that I was not bothered by his claims of greatness and was not being wound up by anything he said. Then, he said Everton will get a points deduction for spending so much in the summer? What!. I told him we have spent nowhere near the half a billion that his club had. He then went on some odd rant, making up figures, saying things like net spend, shirt income, gates? He lost me, I could make no sense of his ranting anymore. He kept claiming Everton are cheating. My laughing at this point made him rant even more. Then he stunned me! and claimed ..... that when you add in all the factors, then Liverpool have actually spent less than Everton this summer. I had to go outside, my laughing was too much. He was fuming and I realised he really believed what he was saying. unbelievable. I did add £20 to his bill though.
I would asked to use his toliet and left him an upper decker.
 


This debate around Owen and Rooney is a bit pointless but saying that apart from the fact they were very different players Owen played for a top 4 team while Rooney played for us at a point in time we were finishing 17th. Owen bragging he scored more goals; whilst that’s pretty much all he did he did so in a team at complete opposite ends of the table. Owen could not have done for Everton at 17 what Rooney did for us. Stats wise Owen was better but just using your brain wise it was obviously Rooney
Who's even arsed I know who I'd rather have seen play and it isn't the pace merchant against high lines
