can be found elsewhere I’m sure.

Frankly, Liverpool fans for once have the same opinion as England fans (rugby that is). They don’t care how they win so long as come the big matches, they win.

If we’d drawn against an increasingly tiring 10 men, many knives would’ve been sharpened for Benitez for withdrawing Gerrard with some minutes to go. In a derby match, an 80% Gerrard is worth a 110% Arbeloa. I was not alone in being mystified.

But last minute penalties? Doesn’t happen to us. Oh, unless of course you mean last minute goals… Hi there Gary Mac.

All credit to Kuyt, otherwise we were poor and ok in equal measures. But as I say, who cares tonight.

DVD’s in a week in the Everton shop David? No, didn’t think so. Get it right up you Andy Gray.

Blah blah blah Gerrard is he any good anymore blah blah Russian artificial grass has knackered our capt blah blah blah rotation is rubbish says Tommy Smith blah blah

Wait.

we’re playing Everhopefulofa4thplace on Saturday. So with due respect to Mr J. Betjamin:

Stop all the crap

the talking and that

stop the sniping of the old

the press so bold

Stop the bickering, picking and

snickering

Let the players play.

It’s Everton here, not some other team. The 2nd biggest game of the league season. (Them at ours being the first) and their cup final. Bragging rights v blueshite. Workmates gloating or us showboating. The result doesn’t matter on Saturday afternoon. It lasts a lot longer than that. It lasts all the next week. And the week after that. Until the next derby match.

We lost the last one 3-0. But we also won the last derby match 6-0. I know which result I prefer. It’s not just another 3 points though. It’s Everton.

So pack in the pettiness and get your throat sweets out. Gonna be a hoarse day.

COME ON!!!!
