Just a quick one to say Well Done to the Blues on their epic victory in the Champions League final in Moscow last night.

Great for the city, especially in Culture year, to see one of our sides performing so well on the Continental stage, makes you proud to be a Scou... what, you mean it was actually that lot from the wrong end of the M62 that lifted the trophy?

My mistake, easy to misinterpret the Cheshire-cat grins sported by so many Evertonians this morning for those of fans who actually know what a European Cup win feels like.

Ah well, at least one of their favourite teams is good at penalty shoot-outs...

haha LFC never win anything on pens do they?

Love the fact they cant lash out at Utd so they hae a go at the blues!!

gpd said:

oh them reds are so bitter, never mind only two more players and 60million and you may well challenge for the title one day eh

Trev the blue said:

ha ha very good. But remember, if the roles were reversed - you would want us to lose so whats so wrong with that? Remember 1985 and the Cup Final? LFC fans supporting Man U in the Cup Final? And the following season - when we won at Anfield to seemingly put the reds out of the title race and give ouselves an unassailable lead over LFC (not even reds fans could forsee your amazine end of season run in)???.....the amount of reds fans who said to me 'I hope Man U win the title now' (expletives removed).....get over it mate, its not 'bitter blues'....its banter, what the reds and blues are famed for - and I take your reply with the good nature I hope that it is intended.

Your article doesn't make sense.. Your never gonna win the premiership ever again, You only finished 4th thanks to Torres, Suggest you spend another 60M to keep us from taking 4th spot off you next season

4everblue said:

Unbelievable!! Most of the kopites I know didnt even bother to watch the match last nite. Now I'll admit that whenever they've been in it I've wanted them to get beat, but I've still watched the game !!Trev, spot on mate, every 1 of them were behind Utd in 85. Short memories indeed.

Nick the Blue said:

Perhaps we were smiling because of our £1.5million windfall

STEVE BLUE4EVER said:

you lot are so sad the mancs win and you have a pop at us get a life and start actually going to the games instead of the pub.You lot are as far away from the prem as us just accept it.

Arch comedy there from South Liverpool's James Richardson. I had to laugh.

I must admit Dan is right about some Blues in our place and the Cheshire Cat smiles.All wind-up merchants of course.

The majority of blues weren't bothered about last night (other than as a footy spectacle and relief we didn't have to watch smashed goons from Essex dancing around to Ring of Fire in Concert Sq)all night.

We're more concerned about Moyes' contract, who we;re bringing in during the summer and how to catch you up next year.


cathy johansen said:

They spent how much and finished fourth?
We spent a fraction of that and finished fifth. If Moyes had had the money the RS had imagine where we'd be. Fourth would've definitely have been beneathus.

L Young said:

You liverpool fans bored??, you won nothing and your still arrogant. So funny, the reds always were bitter.
Everton are on the rise, and liverpool spend and spend, and go nowhere, it must be so frustrating. all you had to hold onto before was the champions league, now, you have nothing.

Shame, Shame.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

To all these silly pathetic blues out there who think they have achieved something by finishing 1 place below us, you finished exactly the same amount of points behind us as we finished behind your first team (Man United) 11 points.

So if thats the case we have got just as much chance of finishing above United as your team has of finishing above ours. Maybe if you worried about your own team a bit more you could close the gap on us, but supporting United seems to have become your obsession to rile us up.

scott jones said:

We wouldnt have finished 4th if it wasnt for Torres, i love that shout, well lets say united wouldnt have finished top if it wasnt for Ronaldo, build a bridge blues, and stop with your bad shouts, we finished just as far behind united as you did us.

anyways you wont be our derby soon when you move to knowsley, good one Kenwright, oh and thanks Mr Hicks for buying us fernando torres.

amen x

Isn't this an article on Everton on a LIVERPOOL website?????? Do us see any articles on Liverpool on Everton websites??? No - URE obsessed with us hahaha

Abbey said:

Rooney’s comments earlier this week should leave Everton fans in no doubt how much Everton meant to him. He condescendingly stated that Evertonians would understand now why he had to leave and join Utd, to play in big games like last nights and win major honours. Watching him dance in front of the Utd fans and kissing his badge while they sing vile songs about the city and people of Liverpool should turn every true scousers blood cold, whether Evertonian or Liverpudlian. As a Liverpool fan, from a family of both reds and blues, if Liverpool couldn’t win something I would rather Everton won it than a team outside the city. I don’t understand Everton fans love affair with Utd they despise EFC as much as they despise LFC.

Philip, Philip my boy, you have just proved your own hypocrisy. By actually being on this LIVERPOOL site it shows who is obsessed with who. Ask me how many blue or Manc sites I've been on in my life and my answer will be honest and true and be zero.

I bet you are a font of all knowledge concerning Liverpool sites starting with this one then Raotl, Tlw, Otk, Rawk. No doubt your list of Liverpool sites would be endless because it shows up who are the bitter ones in our great city.

Phil the fact that this is on a Liverpool website, as you say, proves who is bitter. I would never bother/dream of going on a blue s*#%e site!

Just happened to be on newsnow website and on the Everton search, why u think all ohter efc fans made comments, ure not on any of ours as WE DON'T TALK ABOUT U!!!!! We dn't give u a 2nd glancw anymore!! haha - maybe u shud keep on obsessing with how good u USED to be

Lee Daniel said:

I am the best red in the world and I was so gutted last night as utd cheated as usual , i feel embarassed to be honest at the bitterness that us great reds feel toward utd , we are very bitter when it comes to utd

neald farrely said:

As a Blue, I do not believe all Evertonians wanted Manure to win. I was certainly hoping that Chelski would win it, for one I hate Ronaldo and his antics and was willing him to miss, for two although I understand why Rooney left and there were probably behind the scenes reasons for him being sold, not least of which are the simple fact that we needed the 20mill to help clear our debts, and finally if Chelski had won it we could all just dismiss their victory as Abramovic 'bought' the title with his investment of several hundered milluion in the past few years... Regarding Blues being bitter, perhaps it has something to do with asshls like Emlyn Hughes in the 80's when it was a time for the city to rejoice and he came out with his classic lines; and secondly with Benethus' comments such as 'small club' and thirdly when redsh#t rosetinted glasses wearing w##krs can't even admit Kuyt should have been sent off, Gerrard made Hibbert trip him by putting his leg out in front of him and then makes sure he gets sent off and finally by twttnberg not awarding Lescott a pen for JC's wrestling manouvre. Bitter, not me, just honest, which rdsht supporters like yourself know nothing about!!!

antony said:

is that why its called the big 5 cause of everton. or is it just called the big 4 really.

Luke said:

Every word correct Dan. As you say, we got to our desks today to find hastily photocopied posters hailing Alec's win and mocking Lfc's achievements, which still in Europe, exceeds the Mancs.
Who left these witty missives? Yes, thats right, the Blues.

...:::Liverbird:::... said:

Whos the most succesful team in europe..... Liverpool

Whos won the fa cup so many times u cant fit it on your fingers..... Liverpool

Oh and im sorry but were did we finish this season..... 4th

and were did everton finish....... 5th

So doesnt that mean were playing CHAMPIONS league football next season

and there NOT!!!

So maybe you should have a look at how ur going before u critisize us .

Anyway just have a look at the people holding the sign up??????

Dont u think they have seen the side of a mcdonalds burger a couple of hundred times

and the only reason they support manu is because they feel good if a team they support actually wins for once

Blue 38 said:

I think this "Banter" between liverpool & Everton fans is getting more & more bitter & self destructive. I'd like to think the majority comes from people who live outside the city or are too young (Im 39) to remember the relatively (I still remember nearly getting attacked on the Kop during the friendly derby years)good natured wind ups of the 80's. I felt I should want Man U to win because we got £500k More out of it and they are a northern team but I would have been made up to see Ferguson & Rooney's face if Chelsea had won. There is no love affair with Man U.! Acrimony and anger (not bitterness)has risen recently among blue fans due mainly IMO to Benitez's comments (you have never heard an Everton official or player do down Liverpool as far as I am aware. That guy has no feeling for the city only his own job & success and Liverpool fans are being kidded if they think when he refers to "my fans" it is not purely because it protects his job. I dont particularly care how Liverpool are getting on and until Benotez would have gladly seen them win before Man U, as far as being on this site it was a link about Everton from Newsnow there is no obsession with Liverpool. I have seen red fans go crazy & spew bile when we finished fourth, show a bit of humility and character, you have a massive finacial advantage and more success in recent years. Why feel the need, like Benitez spoiled child that he is to make comments like small club and accuse Lescott of diving "it is disappointing to see behaviour like this" to do down whatever success Everton have and on the funds available it is a MASSIVE success. Apologies for the Rant but there are enough people with a downer on Liverpool without turning on each other.

Red Sam said:

Who cares what the BS think anyway?

They're a total irrelevance these days.

EvertonAl said:

Hey, RedSam, that's exactly what Man U think of you too.

You call us bitter but have articles like this on your sites. So you finished fourth? So what? The massive financial advantages you have over Everton should make you ashamed you only finished one place above us. You're kidding yourselves if you think that you are only one or two players away from challenging for the title.

If you didn't have your 1000's of bandwagon hangers on, you'd be nothing. If we had the money that the Cornish and Norwegians give you every year you'd be left eating our dust.

You're a comedy club and I can't stop laughing.

Dillinga said:

As far as I'm concerened There are only 3 teams that are gunning for the league, Manure, Arsenal and Chelski. Liverpool fail constantly to do anything. They are a 4 rate team and if not for some dodgy refereeing for us we'd be fourth not them. They make me laugh because we are beginning to close the gap on them and they feel threatened.

Red Sam said:

The inconsequential squeaks coming from over the park just make it funnier.

Keep it up lads, every little helps.

Chelski Tom said:

From an neutral point of view I have to agree with the Blue side on this stream. It's just a big 3 now - accept that RS losers. You won nothing again - like us but at least we might win the Premiership next year - you're light years away. You should get 4th next year Everton unless the RS buy it (like we buy trophies, we've just got more money!! ha ha ha enjoy the memories 1990 ha ha ha).

Steveo said:

It must be so upsetting to know that ManUtd are way better than you guys have ever been.

You have never won the Premiership and probably never will. A good season might see you sneak past Arsenal into 3rd.

ManUtd have just won the champions league AGAIN. Something that you guys can only dream of. Getting to the semi was way above what you were capable of.

So well done on overachieving this season.

Trevor Mahoney said:

I was under the impression this was site set up Liverpool support to blog their comments if you are not a Liverpool support why oh why are you here because if support another team surely they website you can go to where like minded people will be please leave this for tose who it wasset up for LFC fans or post unoffensive and unabusive comments constructively on her or also leave this site for those it was set up for.

RedSam2007 said:

The only thing that tripped us up this season was our failure to beat the filth.

Had we done that, and that comedy penalty hadn't been given in the CSKA London game, we'd have won the league on goal difference. It's little things that mean a lot.

Anyway, I'm still chuckling that Fletcher has usurped our Djimi as worst player ever to win a CL medal.
