Prepare for the incoming bad press...

The way forward with this sky complaint is for the mods to draft up a letter,then for those on here who have access to sky sign it.
Job done ?

Not a bad shout that mate, I'd deffo add a sig. Thing is though, I'm a Sky non-subscriber by choice, but I do send money their way vicariously through numerous watering holes. I'd say any Blue should be able to participate, we've all got to listen to their drivel, seein' as they've got almost the whole circus sewn up.

While watching Sky in their effort to big up the RS, I am sure I heard Tyler just say that The Rat is ill but playing against Palace has "a wonderful temperament"!

 

[4737carlin]

Who they going to blame it on now?

 

[Bluesnapper]

Clattenburg not giving them the usual penalty or two.

Gerrard wont be going on holiday with him ever again............

Clattenburg was good again tonight, i hate to say this but he has long turned the corner from that idiot we had a few years ago

He hasn't mate, he is just wise enough to realise theirs scrutiny on him now after the mourinho comments the other week, fair play to Jose, theirs been less dodgy decisions since he came out with that tirade against them

Think the Juve manager put some real pressure on him midweek as well, just in time for this game.

Good shout that, forgot almost he reffed the game vs Benfica, and actually thought he did a good job in that one, although sending off the Serbian was a bit iffy for Benfica i didn't see anything the lad actually did wrong tbf

He's done enough wrong in the past though, so well in Juve !

Is right, just funny seeing them getting the one they wanted and nothing gifted though, as honestly expected it to happen when palace pulled it back

I think Everton is now a smaller blip on the RS 'who's to blame for our failure' radar. No question, it is now Palace fans in the gun sights.. How dare they get passionate and rowdy when backing their team.

I have to say, Liverpool has come out of all this 'blame any and everybody but our playing team' debacle VERY badly. My red mates here in NZ are a bit embarrassed by it all.

 

[Neiler]

It's really unfair lads, the Fa screwed up their fixtures, why couldn't they play Palace twice when they were gash before Xmas, this wouldn't have happened, some say there isn't a conspiracy - yet how much obvious evidence do we really need!

Brilliant stuff.....

As an Evertonian, I was at the game yesterday and so was spared a first hand experience of Martin Tyler and Gary “I’m bored” Neville as they tried their hardest to destroy the reputation of Everton and our support.

Sadly, as someone who probably spends too much time trawling the internet for all things Everton, I haven’t been spared the misplaced vitriol and over-the-top bitterness from our lovely neighbours across the park.

I was worried, walking up to the game, that the atmosphere might be a little bit quiet as Evertonians were torn between the obvious notion of never wanting your side to lose, and the potential that a win could lead us into decades of gloating from those oh-so-knowledgable reds. I needn’t have worried though, as when Ross Barkley‘s thunderbolt hit the back of the net, Goodison erupted. As we would in any game, to celebrate any goal of that quality.

But apparently I didn’t witness that. According to Mr Tyler and the less acceptable Neville brother, Evertonians were “almost silent” when Barkley scored. Apparently the chanting I heard and took part in after the goal didn’t happen either, it was all a dream. Apparently, we “failed to encourage our team” and were the sole reason that we fell behind just before half time.

And then there’s the chanting. There are stories dotted around the less readable Sunday media that Everton fans were singing “Blue Moon” and “Come on City.” Not where I was sitting they weren’t, and not within earshot either. So, having actually been in the stadium and being able to tell which end the singing was coming from, either the TV clappers mistook City’s tremendous away support for an Everton home support, or any chants from the Everton end were in such a minority that they were drowned out for the rest of us in the stadium.

A number of us did join in the City chant about Steven Gerrard and his slip to hand Demba Ba a rare Anfield goal, though. But then you can hear chants about Steven Gerrard and his misdemeanours at any Everton match of the season. And let’s face it, that slip is the real reason Liverpool are in their current predicament of hoping other sides fail. That and their home defeat to Southampton. Or their draws at Swansea, Newcastle and Everton. Or the defeats to Chelsea (twice) and Manchester City. Not because Everton couldn’t beat a side that won the title two years ago and cost over half a billion pounds to assemble.

Evertonians got behind the team. Not to the extent where we went outside the stadium and bricked Manchester City fans’ coaches or attacked scarf-wearing fans as had happened at Anfield a few weeks ago, admittedly, but inside the stadium the chants for Everton were there for all to hear. If your chosen TV channel chose to put their microphones next to the away support (as they do at every Premier League ground incidentally, which is why YAWN is drowned out on Sky every week) then that’s their choice.

Liverpool fans were hoping for a favour from Everton. They only need to look back to Anfield where they were gifted a 4-0 walkover to hand them three points and bring their goal difference to within 10 of their rivals.

The bile that has been spat on many a Liverpool fans’ forum is nothing short of disgusting, and does nothing but prove that they don’t watch a great deal of football outside of their LFCTV subscription. Comments that Romelu Lukaku was “not trying hard enough” seemed like they thought he had some kind of conspiracy theory stitched into his boots especially for the day when Evertonians have been complaining about his lack of a first touch and his work ethic for the last ten months.

But what it boils down to is that Liverpool put themselves into a situation where they were reliant on someone else to help them win the league because they had failed to ensure that position for themselves. But as we tell them every derby day, it’s never their fault is it?
