Just read that. Just smiled a little.

Only one recognised striker left now - Suarez!

They had a 3rd choice keeper at Wembley last season remember

I'm angry all over again.

Honestly they could have their first XI injured and they'd still spawn a victory. Its Liverpool. You know this.

I actually fancy an Everton win, here. I'll never learn will I :blink:

Eh, our home record against them is only poor rather than awful. The last derby I saw in the flesh we won, for example.

I do believe we will win . That , of course , is dependant on Stevie G and Carralaaaaa NOT officiating the match

Usually, I'm quite pessimistic about the derby but this game I'm actually optimistic. Feels a bit weird.

I'm going into this derby game like the one against Hodgson a few years ago (2-0) expecting to win.

I don't think Borini being injured will make any type of difference at all. He's been awful for them and if I'm not mistaken they actually started playing better when he wasn't in the starting 11 and they brought a few of the youngsters in.

Prepare to be dissapointed

0-2 Kuyt and Carrol for the RS, both players brought back under new "emergency" rules by the FA!

The day I think Everton are gonna lose a Derby is the day I stop going the game.

The timeline is like this Goat:

2-3 weeks pre-game: apathetic dismissal of our obviously dismal chances.

1 week pre-game: growing sense of dread and terror.

day of the game: detailed recollection of all the hurt and injustice suffered. A remembrance of the sheer hatred of our beloved neighbours that characterises the very soul of what it is to be an Evertonian; the red shirts milling outside Goodison, the growing anger, resentment, fury. Z-cars. A determination to get one over on the wall-pushing, glory-hunting, ****e-talking, red-wearing, unbearable snidey [Poor language removed].

"COME ON BLUES DEESE ARE ****E"


post-match: the prematch fury having been infused with incomprehensible referring decisions, atrocious Everton play, and inevitable Liverpool victory slow gives way to dejected hopelessness, and a long period of self-preservation, licking our wounds until the next game arrives and we repeat the process ad finitum.

the life of an Evertonian. One thing is guarenteed: it will be bleak.

Not really, most everton fans will have never seen us relegated and will have seen us win trophies. There's not many fans in this country who can say as much.
