Liverpool FC

I can't believe we've scored that many n such a short time! V. nice.
Mind you, B'ham were ropey as hell.
Bring on Everton!

We're relying on fatigue (both scoring fatigue after the last three games frenzy and from playing games every other day) and our own form, thank you. ;)

Though I'm actually a bit scared after yesterday's performance. Only the Birmingham players looked tired at the end of the game... :eek:

True, I have to give Everton some props for their current form - is it 7 games and no loss? Not bad considering how they played at the start of the season.

Now excuse me while I go and wash my mouth out *cough* "props to Everton" *cough*.... and knew that'd repeat on me......... *bleurrrggghhhhh* :D
 
Predictably we got Chelski.
It'll be a hell of a game - hoepfully they're still on their current average form... and we're still banging in 7 per game :)
 
Just remember Everton hasn't won a trophy in 3962 days. Looking forward to seeing Gerrard clean his boots with Cahills shirt.

I say 2-0.

...............Reina
.....Carra..Hyypia..Agger
Finnan......................Riise
..........Xabi....Sissoko
.............Gerrard
..........Crouch..Fowler

Dudek
Kromkramp
Kewell
Cisse
Morientes
 
Much like Cpt. Darlings last diary entry my first sentiment is just: "Bugger"!

I had hoped this was the match where we would really be contenders for spots in Europe next year... :(

On the other hand: If this contributes in any way to making ManU have to fight for a CL spot, then it might have been worth it... ;)
 
After that performance I don't think Phil Dowd should be allowed to ref a Merseyside derby again. Ever.
 
Jim Gannon's Blue and White Army!!

Sadly, rain stopped play down on the Devon coast. I was hoping we'd take ourselves another 3 points towards safety.

Easy to see why the match was called off if you take a look at the Torquay site. They could have done it before the County fans all piled down the M6/M5 though.
 
As soon as I read about something to do with the Devon Coast I wondered what a ManU fan was doing in a LFC thread ;)

Shame about Stevie getting sent off... but there is no excuse for doing something a petulant as kicking the ball away. Whether or not it deserves a yellow is another thing....

Still.... HOW'D YOU LIKE THOSE APPLES EVERTON?!? :D
 
Derby's never are..... but putting 3 past the Toffee's is always satisfying!:p :D

Mittrawnuruodo I've got to ask... as a Norwegian how come you support the Blues?

As an objective watcher who comes from a sport where the officials (we call them umpires) actually have some control over the game, I thought that he did a good job. On match of the day they talked about derby games getting more emotional and feisty and said that referees had to understand that - to my mind he did and he tried to control it. Fact is if you foul you deserve the card, and if cards are being given the hint is to check your behaviour, if the players aren't big enough to do that then they shouldn't be earning stupid amounts each week. Gerrard could have had a straight red for the challenge so he's no complaints. The other red seemed more debatable but the referee was largely right with that one (remember he only has teh one chance to see it). Ferguson's yellow (as an example that I can recall) looked justified and was equally a good spot as it came after teh ball had been played.

To my mind football all too often of late looks increasingly like an out of control sport played by petulent children. They made the referees professional in an effort to improve them now they need to empower them by giving them greater control over the players. More players need to be booked for dissent, freekicks need to be moved forward (like in rugby and hockey) if objectiosn remain and a sin bin wouldn't be a bad idea either. Dowd did well yesterday and stands out as a referee who tries to control situations and obviously talks with players - derby games need people like theat who aren't afraid to reach in their pockets and discipline the ill-mannered, overpaid hooligans who seem to think that it is their right to do whatever they like.

English football is very strong in Norway. In part because Norwegian television "always" has send from the English league. The last couple of years the matches have been moved to a subscription only channel, but as I was growing up "Tippekampen", the main match Saturday at 4 o'clock (3PM English time), was an institution... :)

So, most Norwegians have a favourite club in England. I didn't had a favourite club before I was 8, I had just a favourite player: Kevin Keegan (the rest of the team was totally uninteresting, then as now :D). So in the mid-70s I actually had a Liverpool shirt with a home made '7' on the back (this was before the age of merchandising, so you only got "clean" shirts). Then in '78 he was sold to Hamburg, and since Bundesliga is totally uninteresting, I needed a favourite team. Someone else to follow.

Everton had a 100 year anniversary in 1978. And because of that a documentary was made, showing the history of the club. And seeing the rich history it just made sense to pick the all time best team in England, maybe not in titles, but in years in the top division and points on the all time table (a spot they still have but that I fear we're going lose to Liverpool after this season :(). Then there was Dixie Dean... ;) :D

No good, but if you know of a League 2 thread, come and find me.

(League 1 if you're reading this in 2008)

I get it now...most Norwegian's I've met seem to swing to the Red half of Stanley Park, so I was intrigued to know how you went so wrong!:D

Dixie Dean... when I was a kid my best friend was a mad Everton fan, from a family of mad Everton fans. At this point I was completely a-football (took me until I got to uni before I really got into it) and got bored to tears about Dixie Dean. He knew every fact there is know to man about the man - and he loved to tell people. Its how I developed an innate dislike for Dixie!
Plus the Dixie Dean bar in Liverpool is one hell of a rough looking dive! :p
 
Saw that on MOTD2 last night - don't blame him for being impressed. Fowler plays well with a good team, and at Liverpool he gets that support so he can shine. If he gets two more before the end of the season it would be outrageous not to give him a contract. Use him as a utility striker/impact sub, but just keep the boy Home :D

I agreed with Hansen in that we need a fast centre forward and another defender though... I'd say Morientes will be joining Cisse on the transfer list come season end....
 
let us not forget the 96 that died at Hillsborough 17 years ago today...

another three points courtesy of Robbie Fowler :)



somewhat lucky for Cisse to not be called offside, but, Blackburn should have played to the whistle, which they really didn't.

and we had two very bad offside calls on Kronkamp and Cisse both of whom had great chances...

bring on the scum of Chelski!
 
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye

That was worth getting up for at 4am.
