Liverpool v Everton Derby Edition Spyin’ Kop

v

This week’s Spion Kop is a little different (and short). My neighbour Joe is a Blue born and bred in Crosby, who unfortunately had to leave Liverpool. Happily, luck followed him as he managed not only to find a nice Irish girl but also carve out a life in Cork, a dream shared by billions. Answers this week are from him and his sons Thomas (12) and Odhran (6), both of whom inherited their Dad’s allegiances.

What did you think of Moyes? Sorry to see him go?

Thomas: He did well given the resources.
Odhran: He was a grumpy Scotsman!
Joe: Not really sorry. Negative tactics, late subs and a failure to blood new talent.

Favourite current Everton player?

T: Barkley
O: Baines
J: Baines.

Favourite ever Everton player?

T: Dixie Dean (I’ve seen youtubes!)
J: Martin Dobson
O: Popcorn! [That’s not an Everton player, Odhran] Ok, Baines!

Is it hard being an Everton fan in Ireland when there aren’t that many? (for Thomas and Odhran)

T: Doesn’t bother me.
O: Yes. I don’t really like people who don’t like Everton.

Where do you think Liverpool will finish this season?

J: 6th
T: 3rd
O: 7th

And Everton?

J: 5th
T: 4th
O: 1st!

What do you think of Martinez?

J: Very positive attitude, like him, and without the rubbish that Brendan Rodgers comes out with. What kind of person has a massive portrait of themselves in their own house?
T: Good manager, did very well at Wigan.
O: Teeny bit bad. [would not say why]

Who is Liverpool’s best player right now?

J: Coutinho
T: Coutinho
O: Suarez

And finally, who will win the league?

J: Chelsea
T: Arsenal
O: Everton!

[Hinesy]

ha that's brill mate! thanks!

[Hinesy]

PS Odhran's about the right level of intellect for most Evertonians, his answers made me chuckle

[007.lankyguy]

Haha great

[Caffeine]

O: Yes. I don’t really like people who don’t like Everton.

[Yorkykopite]

That cheered me up.

[JTK]

O: Teeny bit bad. [would not say why]

Sounds like Odhran here has got some insider information, wonder what robbie's been up to? Bet it's prozzies.

[Drinks Sangria]

O: Yes. I don’t really like people who don’t like Everton.

Heard this said down the County Road a few times.

[rawKBottom]

Oh Odhran

[kavah]

J: Martin Dobson

Thanks Corkboy good effort leaning over your fence
can you ask joe to elaborate? That mid 70s team was fucking grim. Why Dobbo? if he's that old he must have seen Alan Ball? & Mckenzie & the 80s title winners of course

Scored one of the best away goals I've ever seen v Liverpool. Into the Kop goal too, I think. Duncan McKenzie got all the plaudits, but Dobson was almost as elegant and much more of a grafter.

(Now Joe's going to say it was a pisstake!)

[Crosby Nick]

Putting the 'odd' into Odhran!

Feel a bit bad that both boys listed Baines as their favourite player - could be tears in January.

Cheers corkboy!

[Upinsmoke]

That's a good one that corkboy. Was dreading reading osme shit off bluekipper

[CHOPPER]

Who'd a thunk you of all people would of known three blues off County Road.

[Zlen]

Thanks for that corkboy.
Spyin' Kop is great.

My first Everton boy hood hero. As another poster states very elegant player. Good passer, hard tackler, and powerful shot.

[RedMarko]

Brilliant! Fair dues. Odhrans input was top class

[HeartAndSoul]

Odran's reply were boss 

[redgriffin73]

I love Odhran!

Shame he'll be crying come Saturday afternoon.

[houkura]

Popcorn!

[chloec]

i think Odhran is an anagram

[edge]

[Funky_Gibbons]

i think Odhran is an anagram

Help me Rhonda, help help me Rhonda?

[Corkboy]

Here's Odhran...

[petecolonia]

Haha, I love Odhran's opinion on Martinez! Bring em on..

[chloec]

I take it back, sorry cork boy. Well done Odhran

[kavah]

fair doos, and if yorky reckons he was a player I'm not arguing.
My Goodison memories circa Dobbo were the cushions. a glorious shower every other satdee at 4.45 - marvelous

[Corkboy]

Me and my boy will be sitting down with these Bluenoses tomorrow in our gaff (they don't have Sky). I think they're all getting kitted up.

So what silly bugger decided it needed a "d" in there? 

[Crosby Nick]

So what silly bugger decided it needed a "d" in there? 

Probably Oeife.

[McrRed]

Excellent. Please rub their noses in it afterwards. The young ones are ripe for turning.

[conman]

O: Yes. I don’t really like people who don’t like Everton.

Shy, reclusive, Introverted.. the way they should all be

We'll be waiting for the pic of ye at each others throats on the couch

[xRedmanLFCx]

So what silly bugger decided it needed a "d" in there? 

It's Irish. The "dh" is often silent. Nice language tbf. Pity 99% of us can't speak it.

[Alanslad]

What the fuckin' 'ell is that?
