And while all of you are calling all of them c*nts, some of them were decent and brilliant enough to lay down a wreath and a 97 shirt for those we lost.

Saw that, lovely gesture.

Big issue for me is we all know decent blues, but you yourself said that all the ones you know are over 45, all the decent ones I know are in the same age bracket, all the ones I saw today doing the wall pushing where the younger ones and they are the problem as they and their kids are the future of their club

[Sarge]

Is Joel in with a shout for Player of the Season?

[Dim Glas]

We're bad on here for judging entire fanbases by the actions of their worst fans.  For all that our recent succeses have messed with the heads of some Everton fans we shouldn't forget that as a fanbase they've always had out backs over Hillsborough and The S*n.  We can't say that of any other club.

You responded and agreed with a poster saying ‘and while all of you’ thus tarring us all with the same brush.  Quite ironic really!

Andy knows, as you do I am sure, that most do not judge entire fanbases.

Can you blame them though? What else have they got?

[Son of Spion]

Can you blame them though? What else have they got?

Certainly not the humanity, the class and the dignity shown by those who laid the wreath and 97 shirt.

Fair point.  I lazily read Andy's post and didn't pick up on the "all" part. 

I stand by my point that we as a forum - and I include myself in that, particularly after the Leicester games - are too often damning of every other club's fanbases.  The majority will be sound but it's always the worst of every club that stick in your mind.  Even after the Cardiff game, where their fans were excellent, we had some people on here calling them all sorts because of not-a-lot!  It's certainly not a case of all of us doing it but it is pretty rare to see anyone defend the decent majority of fans when someone on here has a go.

[Dave McCoy]

There are.

But I'm not mates with them.

They are inbred stinking c*nts and they know they are.

Forget these wankstains.

I'm mates with decent blues that don't smell like poo


DaveK - looks like a rancid turd. Smells like a Tory

The Esk. His whole house smells like a Everton toilet after a bout of Dysentery had a panic attack

[blert596]

Ive got great mates who are decent blues, and a few who theres no point in talking footy with so I dont usually.

I hope they go down irrespective of how any of them feel.

I'll laugh at them all equally.

just like they would at me. For a couple it'll be no change in our relationship. Others will struggle with it. I'll sruggle to keep a straight face whenever they say anything at all.

I really hope they go down. I mean, really really hope they go down.

[disgraced cake]

Thanks for the memories, Bill. It's been a great fixture to enjoy over the years, but I think it could just be over for now.

[Cafe De Paris]

Some here patting the blues fans on the back…. Jeezus we’re any of you at Goodison in the 90’s. They are fkn vile creatures. By the way those praising their mongrels need to go and see how they have sang about Hillsborough and Heysel in every derby game.

Yeah I was thanks.

Some of them are shithouses. So are some of ours.

I've had some interesting situations. Haven't we all?

[disgraced cake]

OPEN THE FUCKING VILLARREAL THREAD!!!!!! 

[King Kenny 7]

Well, well, well.

A true victory to the guys with the white hats!


Riled us up the first 45, we circled the wagons and went again.


Its a squad game and off the bench came John Wayne

And did he make whoopee! 


Dont care about their fans, just think that Catterick an Kendall would be turning in their graves looking at Gordon (who I thought looked decent under Rafa) and PigeonBoy rolling all over the ground.


 He stands so high It's enough to make any blues skin cry

Take me away John Wayne is Big Div
Take me away John Wayne is Big Div

[Jookie]

Hope that’s the last time we see them at Anfield in a long while.

Their collective fanbase isn’t as rancid as the worst within their ranks. The same can be said for every fanbase. We have our own delinquents.

But as our biggest rivals I think it’s natural to want to see them relegated. Still think they’ll survive though

[Number 7]

It wasn’t even close to being a penalty. Pep, City fans and Everton fans can cry all they want. Right decision.

I genuinely think they might go down. If they do I couldn’t be happier for Richarlison. He might do well in the Championship.

[King Kenny 7]

They're going down
They're going down

Everton are going down!

[eAyeAddio]

How I wish George Sephton had played this at the final whistle.......

a beautiful moment.
Not shown by the bcc. Who also didn't show the Richarlisen shithouse tackle on Hendo.

Motd? They showed the Allison shithousery on too good too bad 

[mrantarctica]

Glad this fixture is out of the way. 3 points in the bag, no major injuries or suspensions to come out of it so we can consider it a very good result. We were a little slow in the first half but found our rhythm better in the 2nd half. I thought the substitutions made a huge impact.

I thought Frank Lamppost was well off in his post match comments. He seemed to think that they deserved to get something from the game. This is a game where they didn't even play football. Due to their shithousery, I saw some stat that the ball was in play for only 28 minutes in the first half! Completely deluded if he thinks they are going to stay up playing like this. Burnley at least show that they have effort and solidity and at least are willing to fight and play fairly, even if they aren't necessarily more skilful. I hope Everton get relegated.

[G Richards]

Lovely win. Atletico-esque but we came through in the end.

I grew up in friendlier times, when we had the best two teams in the country. For some reason they have been so bitter for years now, and the toxicity makes this a real chore to play them.

As such, I hope they are relegated.

Richarlison awful shithouse. Gordon fast, but a bad diver. Lampard a very good attacking midfielder, but as a manager has done nothing to show he has anything about him. This was atrocious fare.

Chelsea and Leicester next for them. Hopefully they spend a little while ensconced in the bottom three to stew a bit, before finally dropping down. Dodgy Russian oligarch connections and vast sums spent. They might be in big trouble. Here’s hoping.

[iamadooddood]

Good idea.

Do they do that in rugby?

Not sure but you obviously have to take head injuries seriously so that would be a fair way to do it IMO. And maybe retrospectively punishing players for feigning them as mentioned above.

Yes, but the team gets to have a temporary replacement to replace the player while said player goes through a head injury assessment. If the player passes the test he or she comes back on and takes over back from the replacement. Otherwise the replacement becomes permanent. Players who have been substituted off can come back on in this way, or to replace an injured front row forward, or a player injured by foul play. Or they can come back on for up to 15 minutes to temporarily replace a player for a blood injury.

In any case, Everton won't be playing a man down while this is happening.

[maryg]

I thought Everton had a game plan , you could tell by Pickfords face when he was diving on the ball and smiling for the camera  . They thought the where Atleti Frank found some inspiration , but it backfired in the second half as its always going to happen when the gulf is so much , see you in a few seasons Blue shite   

[him_15]

Football without Origi is nothing!

[jckliew]

WHO let the DIV out?

[Red_Potato]

Great result. Quintuple still on - CL, EPL, FA Cup, League Cup and Everton relegated.

[Garnier]

To Everton Football Club:


At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

[Bobinhood]

Great result. Quintuple still on - CL, EPL, FA Cup, League Cup and Everton relegated.

This, plus Man U playing Conference league is the Sex.

Long Live the Sex. Football is nothing without Origi.

[88_RED]

Does anyone have a gif of Klopp's hug with Origi at the end..
Seemed like a special hug for the Div..

One hug is all it takes..
Fallin' in love with Klopp..
Possibilities..
We're gonna win the league..

[Nick110581]

Their penalty could have been be given and Mane was silly to do what he did but Richarlison and Doucoure could have gone at the end too.

Attwell was poor all match.

[-Willo-]

You just knew that Pickford wink would come to bite them in the ass, how haven't they learnt this yet.

I don’t know why I enjoyed that so much, but I did mate

[No666]

Telegraph accurately summing up Gordon's antics:

Spoiler

Anthony Gordon might not recognise himself as a cheat. He may even dispute the accusation and protest that he is merely doing what so many others have done; guilty of nothing more than gamesmanship, but it is more than that.

If he needs clarification, he can always pick up a dictionary – or search online – and read the definition of the word to realise that what he is doing when he dives, if he was pretending he was fouled he is cheating.

According to the Concise Collins English Dictionary the word cheat is defined as this “1, to deceive or practise deceit  esp. for one’s own gain; trick or swindle [someone] 2, to obtain unfair advantage  by trickery, as in a game of cards…”

That is what Gordon appears to have done against Liverpool, trying to obtain a penalty in front of the Kop, as Everton fight for their Premier League lives in an increasingly dire looking relegation battle.

Desperate times, call for desperate measures, perhaps. Everton needed to use every trick in the book to try and upset a vastly superior opponent and Gordon will have known that Burnley’s win over Wolves had sent the club he not only plays for, but also supported as a boy, into the relegation zone.

Gordon was Everton’s best player at Anfield, a constant prick in Liverpool’s cool, composed facade. He could be a fantastic talent for club and country but he has picked up some really bad habits - and they were all too obvious.

The game had not really got going when it happened, but Gordon’s behaviour wound everybody up. He has nothing to be proud of about that.

Picking the ball up inside the area, he shifted his body weight to move away from Andrew Robertson and then spotted Naby Keita arriving to make a challenge.

Gordon shifted the ball past him but then, with the Liverpool player sticking out a leg, the youngster planted both feet on the ground and dived into his opponent, simulating contact before completing a double roll, screaming in pain as he held his knee.

Referee Stuart Atwell was in the perfect place to wave away the penalty appeals and did something we need more officials to do -  he stopped the game and booked Gordon for faking a dive and faking a foul.

There was a time when the English claimed they were naive in this version of the game’s dark arts. At best, it was always a rather rose-tinted view, That quaint idea English players do not try to cheat to gain an advantage is ridiculous. Players like Gordon appear to be no different.

Those who have seen him play this season will know how easily he goes down, how “clever” he is at winning free kicks. He is a fine young player, with a big future ahead of him if he fulfils his undoubted talent, his reputation has spread and it is not a tag a 21-year-old should have.

You just knew that Pickford wink would come to bite them in the ass, how haven't they learnt this yet.

He’s not very bright.

Just a bizarre character with average ability.

[FLRed67]

Strange what happened to that club.

In 1985 and 1986 they were one of the best teams to ever come out of Britain, and easily the best team in Europe. They would have won the European Cup with skates on.

Now, they are an ogre. Foul and unlovable, with a heart turned black with bitterness.

Like the picture of Dorian Gray, as one footballing face of Liverpool becomes more handsome, the other becomes more ugly. 

Perhaps Everton is the price the city must pay to have LFC.

Parents in Coventry, Bristol, Stoke, and Blackpool, will have to hide their children when they come to town.

That's two years in a row now that Allison has provided my moment of the season thus far. 

[royhendo]

Fair play to Juliet Ferrington on 5 Live post match - she called Lampard on the ‘gamesmanship’ and he had to admit they had no choice because we were so good. This was after he’d claimed both Gordon incidents were penalties.

Their fans going on about the Mane incident and claiming Trent had two bookable offences when their own side could have had two or three reds had Atwell actually turned up to referee the game. Allison’s moment was genius, but honourable mention to Jordan Henderson for the Dele Ali and Richarlison moments and his tribute to Richie-La and Anthony.

Gordon is gonna keep doing that and he’ll suffer for it.

[No666]

Yeah - that was the point made by Luke Edwards this morning, Roy.

who could forget the Wembley finals in the 80's
For the 86 one I was in the Everton end - wonderful times
loads of piss taking but no bile
and their support a after Hillsborough will never be forgotten by us
I can't believe how some of them  are now
