Origi will do well for them I reckon

Still quite young isn't he? He has time to improve

You're missing the point of this thread Mikey.

Heres my take on the rivalry for what it is worth:

Now Everton are fighting for the same aims, top four, fa cup, european success, they hate us because they know that there is a possibility, as slim as it might be, that Everton may win a Cup before them.

.

TO be fair......

When we last won a trophy 20 seasons ago and they last won a trophy a few years ago i don't think they are worried about us winning a trophy first.

If ever you wanted a microcosm of RS brainwashed lunacy..... Today's Echo 'Judge and Jury' Liverpool opinion page... Neil Atkinson, host of "The Anfield Wrap" and author of "Make Us Dream...The Story of Liverpool's 2013/14 Season" being asked.....

Q : The Reds return to Crystal Palace on Sunday. Whats more important - revenge or three points ?

A : "Revenge ? What for? Listen, lets get something straight - one of the greatest things that ever happened in football happened last season at Selhurst Park in this fixture : Liverpool collectively tried to win a game 10-0. 10-0. And they very nearly succeeded. The stats from the game are incredible. Liverpool had a shot every three minutes against a Tony Pulis team. It was, for seventy minutes, Liverpool's best away performance of the season. They ran themselves into the ground. What else are we in it for if not that ? Its easy to be cynical in football. Its ongoing from all supporters. But this game does transcend whether or not what Liverpool tried to do succeeded; . "

So there you have it....that Palace game is now considered a success. Tossing away a three goal lead, two precious points at the crux of a season and ultimately the chance for their fingertips to brush their holy grail, The Premiership. Right.

Firstly, Thankyou, that is precisell what I needed to pick me up on a bit of a slow Thursday afternoon.

Right, lets get to it.

The stats from the game are incredible.

#Winningthestats

that they tried to do is the success

Hey Rawk lurkers, #WinningWithoutWinning

It's a slipperly slope when excuses and fake successes are being thrown around like confetti. Slippy, geditlaas!

It honestly isn't unheard of for a player to appear out of absolute nowhere, to lift the team through bad times, just when they need it the most. It's happened time after time after time. They always seem to find someone that gives them a boost for a period of time.

They exit the barrel of turd smelling of roses every single time. It's why i will never rip into one of their players until it's obvious he is absolute wank playing for them.

Also, if you cut the league table out of the newspaper and hold it upside down it puts them in the top half. Go ahead and try it yourself. You'll see I'm right.

i cut up someone elses newspaper when he went for a piss on the train. he wasn't happy when he came back

i mean yes, 3-3 is very close to 10-0

The travesty of Crystanbul was that all Palace's goals were either fluked or illegal. I watched a short replay of them recently and distinctly heard the commentator say of their first goal : "that was a cross that, you jammy b******". Of their second goal : "he's elbowed Johnson in the face there la, that's a foul, I'm not 'avin that ". And of their third goal "Gayle's offside...he's phooken offside, this is Everton's fault, it's the refs fault"

YNWA

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

That Neil Atkinson thing actually annoyed me

It's just so arrogant to try and turn that Palace result into a positive thing

In no way was it positive, in any way

They threw away the title that night

That's really all there is to it

It shows such a lack of grace to try and turn it into some sort of bastardised Liverpool triumph

This was great:

The travelling Reds got to see and feel something which blazed and if it was eventually extinguished, well who cares?
To have had that moment, that sense of being entirely on fire, that idea that there is nothing but this, that this unlikely, slightly deranged band of Reds were your Reds, our Reds, and that there is nothing they can’t conceive of, nothing they won’t try and do, to have had that unlikely second of colossal, improbable belief, well how many football supporters in the world, in the whole wide world, how many of them have had that moment, how many have had a moment that pure?

Ha Ha Ha.

"Who cares?"


They're still hurting, dont you worry about that.

 

[toffeejack]

"They very nearly succeeded"

Yeah, they were only 7 goals away

they were 10 goals away 10 mins later, imagine if the game went to extra time, they'd be 40 goals away!

TBF they have to try and spin Crystanbul because the alternative - that it wasnt lost at Palace, it was lost because of the slip and Mourinho outfoxing Brendan at Anfield with a team mostly composed of reserve players - is utterly unpalatable to them.

Hahahaha that is amazing!

It was the single biggest disaster I've seen in a one off game in the Premier League, no redeeming features to come away from it at all, not a single one. Most fans would be devastated and just put it down to being one of their worst days supporting the club and that's that, but for the Kopites they can't bare, even in the most obvious situation, to acknowledge something bad happening to their club!

I think we can add another bit to the old saying - "Always the victim, it's never their fault, we never truly lose".

 

[Tubey]

It was, for seventy minutes, Liverpool's best away performance of the season. They ran themselves into the ground.

It's this part that kills me! Like it's a good thing they chased a 10-0 win when simply winning the game would have put pressure on City going into the last game of the season.

Rodgers screwed up the tactics, the players screwed up the game management, and the Kopites think that is something worth celebrating hahahaha - morons!

Mind you, the feller did write a book about last season's 'amazing purity' (AKA as a big fat **** all in trophies), so he's self-serving trying to boost it's importance.

There's money to be made off those mugs.

Ker-Ching!!
