i hope so.

Yerrr.Can`t wait.

liverpool will batter everton in both games

Totally! can't wait!

Are they not in enough trouble as it is

Well said Jase!!!

COME ON YOU BLUE BOYS!!!!!!

Davey moyes,Davey moyes,hes got red hair and we dont care davey davey moyes ..come on you blue boys

Gonna be kaos in liverpool when this game is on.. Wonder if there will be any fights..

Generally they are not that bad. I've not seen a fight before or after a derby for donkeys years!! Last bit of trouble I remember was a Man Utd match I'll say no more on the matter, and certainly won't confess to being involved

In the spirit of fairness and gamesmanship, I'd just like to wish my liver good luck for the upcoming derby matches.

Interesting - I wonder what the numbers are for supporters of reds/blues or Tranmere 9or dare I say it - Other) on here? Maybe we should have a poll.

I was a red through association (Grandad would have skinned me alive had I cast aspersions towards the blues - but he was also a Marxist too, so I think red just suited him). Then I decided I couldn't care less what colour they wore, they are all obscenely overpaid. Alas my darling husband (a southerner [Southampton] by birth), decided he wanted to support a local team. His colleagues in work who go regular to matches are blues. And so it came to pass that I now live in a blues household.

True blue

Ave u bin sniffin? Theres only 2 decent teams on merseyside, liverpool...and liverpool reserves.


COME ON YOU REDS !!

Born a Blue, Live a Blue, Die a Blue!!!

Family are all reds

Sounds like you are saddened by this fact Jaci.
Never too late.


I predict...

1-0 Liverpool, being scored by Torres

I predict an Everton Win

I am indeed saddened by the fact that my family are reds - I thought they had more sense and class

Everton just wish they were Liverpool.
Im sorry, but if they were in the top 3, then it may be considered a decent duel. But seeing as theyre not, they just dont even register on the importance scale.

Oh my dear Craig - that's the last thing we wish mate. If you look at recent form, I wouldn't write us off - you may just be surprised!!

We shall see in 45 minutes time

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!

Lol,fuelling the fire mate.

may the best team win lol

good game. i hate saying this but everton was the better side on the day..... TILL SUNDAY LOL

Yet another 3 points lost at home.

Don`t you start again,you.

I'm happy - bring on round 2

round 2 come on

I, as well as everyone else Im sure, feel let down by Liverpool tonight.
Gerrards goal was superb as usual. Everton were lucky to get that goal, considering they had much better chances. Certainly not a Premiership winning performance.

Jaci, if youre happy to have drawn with Liverpool, when they couldnt pass/play for toffee, then that doesnt speak highly of Everton. You know thats the case, dont admit otherwise. Ive had so much crap off mates who support Everton, saying they're gonna thrash us etc blah blah... But when it comes down to it, to be happy with a draw, is like admitting defeat, acknowledging that liverpool are the better team. Argue all you want, but its secretly true.

How can you say that after a 1-1 draw

Elementary my Dear Watson..

because Everton Played very well, and Liverpool were crap. Yet still went 1-0 up for the majority of the game.

...but no-one won

Just wait till one of them plays Manchester Rovers, or Chelsea United - then we will see who will be champions of the cup

Craig - I'm only happy as it could have remained 1-0, I'm not happy about the performance. A win would have been much better, but I'm happy enough to settle for the draw.

As for then the same goes for Liverpool as one or two of the players said that they were happy with the draw too.

COME ON YOU REDS

Game on again

Oh they are in the fridge chilling nicely as I type

Yerr,

thats what i like to hear

I have my priorities right Jase

lol

I'm happy

I BET YOU ARE..

Bollards!!!

The Saviour of Everton FC!!

Get in son!!!

Blughhhhhh

what a game!!!!!!!


g'bye now

Class ending !

High Class Ending

Just had my red neck brother on the phone claiming fix

Usual stuff of "we lost Stevie G Laaa Laaa & Torres, down to 10 men, tired, ref's been paid off" yada yada yada

Ahhh well - them's the breaks eh

So basically he's saying the team's a bit crap without Slugger at the helm?

Guess so.

To be fair...to be against a side of 10 men, and not gain an actual advantage till the 118 MINUTE is saying something, especially if they dont have some of their best players.

The ball took a deflection off Skrtel. If it hadnt, I reckon Reina would have saved it. Still....whats done is done. Can only look back on the past.

Well done Everton, theyve survived 3 games against us Reds, and come out on top... I hope this allows us to kick into gear and pull out some results in the Premiership...concentrating on the important side of things.

Now Ive got to deal with my asshole mates from school, who've suddenly decided they support Everton.

Wheres all the Tranmere Supporters??
Oh wait, theyre pretending to be "True Scouse" and support the blues hahahahahaha.... My Fecking arse....


Cant stand Glory Hunters.. a bit like every Man Utd Fan in existence.... who isnt from Manchester...

1 nil ha ha iz rite wot a good ending!

really mean good luck in the next round, lets keep the cup here between us here so the poxy mancs and such cant get it

*faints* That's something I didn't expect to hear from you my dearest Clown

Anything that keeps manc and southern hands off it will do me!!

And if we don't win it - anything that helps me see Robbie Savage in the buff will do nicely instead

Everton won fair and square, good luck 2 'em.

I'd rather Everton won it now than anybody else..

not that they'd feel the same way...meh...their loss...

Craig that has to be the most bitter post I have ever seen!!!!!!!! For the record, I havent met one Rovers fan pretending to be a blue, thats just daft!

Liverpool fans moan when they win and moan when they lose

Long, that wasnt a dig at Rovers fans overall, Im talkin about my mates from Wirral Grammar..who always used to support Rovers and Liverpool...but suddenly this year Ive noticed they all like Everton suddenly... Bit o a change as I only have one friend whos always supported Everton... so dunno why the sudden jump on the bandwagon

bandwagon jumpers happen all over the place. How many Chelsea shirts did you see being worn around here before 2004? or United tops before 93? feckin annoying anyway

It happened during the 80`s when United started doing well and winning all sorts,befor that you never seen a united shirt on Wirral (or very very few)especialy a Chelsea top.Then it changed and there is loads of them creeping out the woodwork.You only ever seen red(L/pool),white(Tranmere) or blue(Everton).These people ar`nt supporters,just glory hunters.
