Taking Sides: Liverpool vs Everton

'What are yooo doing now Mark?
'Running a multi-million crack cocaine ring in Bootle.'
'Oh.'

(I think Milan will win 4-0.)

Meanwhile, in 'just a bit of fun' news: http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N149058050609-0855.htm

Meanwhile it looks as if they're gonna be allowed to defend the trophy after all, somehow. Anyone unhappy about this can at least console themselves with the inevitability of them crashing out against Benfica in the second round.

The decision is made tomorrow apparently but papers seem very optimistic.

Will UEFA harsh Cabbage's buzz?

I'm looking forward to a Liverpool-Everton final next year, to be played in Wrexham as a special treat.

May as well do the sensible thing and stick them in the group stage. Fenerbahce, as we've established, would only be demoted to where they 'should' be according to the coeff table. If it somehow hurts Liverpool financially to make them play three rounds of qualifying instead of some juicy preseason friendlies, then that might be funny. Presumably UEFA have some cunning plan in place for the rearrangement of the Super Cup final in that case. Like cancelling it altogether because who cares about the Super Cup?

!!!

are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I am not particularly aware of the Liverpool shine. Does that make me a holocaust denial person?

There is a bloke in my Lenny Henry programme called Everton.

It'll be interesting to see how many of The Greatest Fans In The World Ever turn out for a tie with NK Široki Brijeg (to pick a random side from this year's first qualifying round).

OI!

why should Liverpool have been given any TV revenue at all? being in the Champs League is already plenty of reward, especially seeing as they didn't qualify. Everton really could have done without being forced to donate £5m to which they are fully entitled to Liverpool.

Hooray for Liverpool, I suppose.

I believe this to be the 1000th post on this thread. Well done, Peter - it couldn't happen to a nicer fella.

There is no prize.

I have been recommended this by Amazon. I thought it was only right to pass it on.

I am glad I was thousandth.

I imagine the FA Cup may be glossed over a little though.

I wish I worked in DVD authoring - I could hack it so it played Lee Carsley's goal in a loop behind the unskippable anti-piracy warning at the start.

Maybe this is the one for JtN. Or maybe it's a bit of rush job with faked Alan Parry commentary.

"We won the big one but it is important we forget about that and move on and try to do better in the Premiership."

Forget about winning the European Cup and concentrate on finishing 4th instead of 5th in the league?

Steven Gerrard is a twat.

I think Gerrard's approach is quite sensible, judging by that brief out of context quotation.

"Backfire" for me obviously means them winning it again in 2006.

I have mixed feelings about this. The overwhelming one is "What a greedy blighter".

Meanwhile, Everton release Stubbs (the alternative was probably a gagging order on his speaking to the press) and are once again linked with Bellamy. Thanks but no thanks.

I don't think I understand or credit the notion, the claim, that LFC are freezing him out.

Dumbest line of the week: "if they sell him, they can afford to buy Owen Hargreaves!"

marcus bent wants to face liverpool in the CL. are everton, really bent's EIGHTH club? i wonder if purchases in the immediate future, will send him on the way to his ninth

What do footballers say now that they achieve financial security for life for themselves and their family in a week?

I really dislike Real Madrid, but I would go there for such a huge pay rise, I have to admit. Makes Chelsea look like a bunch of cheapskates.

The thing with Make Poverty History was it should have been Make Greed History all along. But that is a different story.

I don't like Bellamy.

He'll finish his career at Everton, the occasional sub's appearance as an injury-ravaged and slightly overweight 33-y-o, a man finally at peace as the Bullens Road hurl good-natured obscenities his way.

"How can I think of leaving Liverpool after a night like this?"

Turned out not to be too hard after all.
