    wtf are you talking about?
    wats imagination land? thinking we can beat inter? we can!

    we have proven that by beating Juve who were in a similar position to Inter when we played them in 2005. Chelsea in 2005 when they looked near unbeatable most of the season. Barcalona last year when Merson laughed at the idea of us having any chance of us getting passed them?

    so come on, wat the **** is imagination land in wat i have said?

    YEAH! eat that! Liverpool ARE great!


    this is a stupid thread. its also extremely pointless as u are essentially debating over 1 place in the league.

    FACT IS - if we dont come 4th in the league our season in the PL will be considered a failure. if this happens and we also BY THE GRACE OF GOD win the CL again ill be happy of course... but i will not be happy with our league performances and the fact that we havent bothered to turn up when playing against the top 3 in the league. over 2 legs against the top 3 in the PL rafa's record is crap.

    and yes, BY THE GRACE OF GOD - Inter Milan are a really really really good team who are unbeaten in seira A and have players like Ibra, Cambiasso, Cruz & Suazo. who the f**k says we are gonna beat them on our current form?
    What about all those other really good teams? Man Utd for example, they did happen to beat us 1-0 already at anfield and dont think that Daniel Agger would make a lick of difference to that.
    those barcelona guys are pretty decent too
    and real madrid, they have won it a couple of times havent they?
    Arsenal, AC Milan, Chelski, Sevilla....

    ffs Mr Alan, screw ur bloody head on and stop living in imagination land and maybe ppl wouldnt rip the pi$$ outta ya so much


    In fairness Jazzy, it would be typical of Liverpool to knock Inter out. Past form in the Champions League proves that and since Rafa took over, we've been the best Premiership team in the competition.
    Of course, Inter are favourites, but Liverpool still have a really good chance. Obviously, getting the win in the first league is crucial. Judging by our home form this year, i wouldn't bet on it. But big European nights is where Liverpool thrive lately

    lol at thinking:

    - we have no chance whatsoever against Inter;

    the fact that u make it out like its our god given right to beat these teams based on games from seasons past.
    Do u think Inter play like Juve of 05?
    Do Chelski play the same under Grant as they did with Jose last season and in 05?
    Are Barcelona the same as they were last season and does the fact that Henry is there now and Messi is coming of age not make a difference?
    Didnt AC Milan do us one in the final last year?

    Wat have we done? oh, we have Torres. but THATS IT! unless G-Unit pulls us through or Torres turns on the magic (keep in mind Ferdinand had him in his pocket the entire Utd game). Also, our form is absolutely bollocks atm and we are leaking stupid goals. We also have no quality wingers. what did we do last season exactly? oh we reached the final, but in your own words - isnt 2nd place useless? or are u going to shift that around and say that 2nd isnt useless in a cup but it is in a league just because it happens to suit liverpools past 5 years better?

    Just because we have done well in 07 and 05 in the CL DOES NOT MEAN that we will do well this season. yes, anything can happen... but to base how well u are going to do in a cup based on previous seasons is DEMENTED. remind me wat round we got to in 06 the year after we won it? oh yes, the 2nd round.

    now do u see perhaps that u live in this imagination bubble where only the best things will happen? and maybe u might be able to see from then why u get so much stick on this board? and isnt that why ppl have already coined the term 'Alanisms'? its not happening for no reason....

    The comment was spot on, from wat i remember, he said "when smaller teams come to Anfield, they play with a lot of men behind the ball"

    Where is the problem? Everton is undeniably a smaller club than Liverpool.

    There is such a thing as tact and respect for your rivals and opposition. He clearly showed here that he has neither. He knew fine well what he was saying.

    How do you define a big club? Money, trophies, amount of supporters? Everton is a big club, with a proud and successful past and tradition. Fair enough, Liverpool may have won a few more trophies than us when it comes to the league and europe, but does that make us 'small'? I don't think so....

    Everything he said wasnt bang on the money.
    He gave out about Hibbert being sent off and said that Gerrard made that decision not the ref. Not true. Sending Hibbert off was the correct decision and one that if Clattenburg didnt make, he would have been in trouble for with the refs assoc. i have no doubt.
    Everton should have maybe had a penalty, fair enough, these things happen though.
    I was behind the goal where the gerrard 'incident' happened and I watched it again on TV. Hibbert did make contact, but Gerrard did make a lot out of it. The way he went down got Hibbert sent off.

    Everton without a doubt should have had 1 if not 2 penalties. Stonewall....

    http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/moyes-fa-charge-dropped.html

    Clattenburg that day was disgrace. His decisions were so imbalanced it was crazy... That's not just my point of view. A lot of neutrals thought the same.

    no, but it does make you "smaller than Liverpool" which is wat Rafa said. So is wat Rafa said untrue? That Everton are smaller than Liverpool . . . . .

    I don't think that anyone is saying it's a God given right that Liverpool beat these teams. It's just that Liverpool have showed that they can beat them whatever their league form is.
    I mean, yeah, i think Inter will go through. But you seem to make out that Liverpool have no chance yet it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they can win.
    Rafa has shown that when it comes to European football, he can outwit most managers

    yeah, that post was to Mr Alan.
    but I do agree with you, we certainly CAN beat them... but the point is Mr Alan made this COMPLETELY STUPID thread based on "which good thing do u want to happen to Liverpool which will be bad for Everton no matter what the case"
    if he replaced Everton with Man Utd there would be uproar but hes gotten away with it cos not that many ppl support everton on this forum.
    And from what I can see above he has decided to take dignity-less swipes at Everton by calling them a small club to an everton fan that they are smaller then Liverpool just to try and prove some monotonous point about some things that might possibly happen but probably wont (pool winning the CL this season).
    he'd be the first person to give out stink to a Utd fan for doing the same but has (as Pighead has already pointed out) showed complete double standards again.

    Its a dumbass thread Mr Alan which u seem to have not put much thought into aside from living ur own dream.

    I used to think he was alright, but every so often he comes out with statements (particularly when he is under pressure) and he loses some respect to be honest..

    no, but it does make you "smaller than Liverpool" which is wat Rafa said. So is wat Rafa said untrue? That Everton are smaller than Liverpool . . . . .

    Its the context that he said it in though.... just at the derby match, when things weren't going his way.

    I think Alan Stubbs summed it up well:

    http://soccernet.espn.go.com/preview?id=219495&cc=9999
    Everton veteran Alan Stubbs has already stoked the fires by saying recently: 'We do not see ourselves as a small club, not at all.

    'If they feel they are that much bigger than us, they should have been getting better results - like winning the league.

    'When you spend that much money, £40-50million, you would expect to be closer than they have been. That is what Liverpool fans would say if you asked them. We beat them 3-0 last season, and you do not get a result like that by luck.'

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/02/05/sfnliv05.xml
    Rafael Benitez will not lose his job for failing to overcome Everton but his statement, made in the frustrating hour after the final whistle, that they were a "small club" who had come to Anfield in search of nothing more adventurous than a goalless draw rang dreadfully false.

    It would have been something had the Everton manager, David Moyes, reworked Gloria Swanson's line from Sunset Boulevard. "Everton are still big, it was the results that got small." But his words were eloquent enough.


    "No, Everton are not a small team," he reflected. "Everton are one of the big clubs in England. We are, at this present time, smaller than Liverpool but I'll tell you what we are; we are a competitive, determined football club and we are trying to achieve as much as we can.

    "We matched a football club that has spent an awful lot of money. We also did if four months ago when we played them at Goodison." And won convincingly.

    Everton came to Anfield with a plan, stuck to it, and might have snatched victory if Andy Johnson had converted their one outstanding chance, which he might have done had he been properly match-fit. Moyes greeted the save from Jose Reina by running his hands through his hair and mouthing an expletive. Had Johnson scored, Everton would have done the double over Liverpool for the first time since 1984-85, when they ended the season as champions.

    If Liverpool go to Barcelona in the Champions League, adopt a similar game plan, and return to John Lennon Airport with a goalless draw, as they did on their two visits to the Nou Camp under Gerard Houllier, it will be a job very well done, which was a point Benitez conceded.

    What Moyes said is true... Liverpool at this moment have had more success on the pitch. That's not to say that Everton are a smaller club.

    We've shown for the past few years that we are on the way back up. They season that we finished 4th ahead of liverpool we had a decent side. Our team and squad this season is light years ahead of that squad from 2005 in terms of fitness and ability...

    I just think that Liverpool fans need to sit up and recognise (and to be fair, I think most of them do), that 4th spot is no longer automatically their's anymore and from the replies in this thread its good to see that not all Liverpool fans wear red-tinted glasses...

    No i dont.

    I see that i live in a world where i judge our chances on progressing in the CL on our past performances in the CL and our managers proven abilities in cups. Then make a decision, that despite our poor league performances, i think we have a chance of getting through this inter tie. That is all i said in this thread. You seem to be having an argument with me over something else which i never actually said and are making no bones about making it personal.

    and for the record, the guy who coined the phrase Alanisms was Pighead, if i'm not mistaken, thats the same guy who offered to "fight me" in a thread within the last couple of weeks, hardly an authority on how to act on boards.

    ya see, ur opinion is bollox because u have absolute double standards (as proven last page) and u have absolutely no weight behind ur arguements (as proven with ur complete lack of dignity). no1 takes wat u say seriously at all (Alanisms, which has been used by more then Pighead) and u are more a figure of comedy rather then someone who actually has something important to say (as proven by u actually making this hypothetical "everything great is going to happen to Liverpool" thread / poll).

    and i dont think u get Pigheads humour if u are complaining how he acts on boards.

    Also im "putting words into your mouth" because the more u act like u are in imagination land, the more i think that u do actually believe its liverpools god given right to win the CL, PL etc.

    Again you are making ****e up. Quote one place where i said Everton are a small club. (are you sure you aint an Everton fan?). All i said was they are smaller than Liverpool. They are.

    I don't know what you are trying to achieve by harping on about Liverpool being bigger than Everton? What exactly does it prove?

    Hey, sure we are ahead of Liverpool in the league at the moment. Does that make us a better team? Some will argue yes, others no...


    There is no two ways about it.... The league title is the top honour to win every season. Its the main competition and cornerstone of football. It is a fact that it hasn't been since the mid to late 80's (it comes as a shocker, but football did exist pre-1992), that Everton and Liverpool were winning titles. Neither club has done that since then. We're talking 20 years for Everton, 18 for Liverpool....

    For a "big club" not to have won a league title in 18 years says it all really.... Champs League and FA cups are great. Fair play to Liverpool for winning the CL a few years ago. Great. They won a cup competition. Didn't have to be champions though to get into it...

    And never forget.. If it wasn't for Everton, there'd be no Liverpool... 'if you know your history'...

    ya see, its wat ur implying that takes the dignity out of what you say. "everton are a smaller club, no doubt". its sorta like "well done captain obvious". you should be able to make ur points without sounding like gary neville wanting to rub someones nose in it. what response did u expect to get from everton fans in this thread? and everything is hypothetical anyway, which begs the question - why did u make it in the first place if not to rub it in everton fans faces? which is very very low and just makes u look like a small person no matter what club u support ;)

    Jazzy, I've sent you a PM. You'd be well advised to heed and respond to it.

    Guys attack the post, not the poster. Anyone who wants to do differently, will be doing it elsewhere.

    To be fair, it is a fairly silly and self promoting topic, with an obvious answer (winning the CL), and Mr. Alan has left himself open to a lot of abuse due to how dire Liverpool have been this (and last) season, his "bragging rights" have been reduced to other teams beating Manu/Arse/Everton rather than his own.

    However, people need to calm down a bit, it's a game, no matter what Shankly said, and some perspective is needed here.

    Anyone here who thinks Everton are a 'small' club needs a lobotomy!

    I was over at that ****ty reading game and saw zero liverpool jerseys on the streets, or maybe I was in the wrong places? Even in stanstead saw 3 more toffees and in a hotel in the sticks miles from stanstead met another one.

    We are generally hard core supporters and dont just hop onto the bandwagon when things are all rosy.

    Liverpools boasting of constantly saying 'this is our year' just pisses us off really, when in reality they are no where near winning a league title despite having apparently lots of cash. their last 4 wins were against derby, luton,havant and welly and sunderland. doesnt say much does it?

    Also they are losing their roots, what with relying on yanks to fund their future success and the vast influx of foreigners in their squad.

    Moyes was pretty spot on when he said the people on the streets support Everton, my mate who I met in the outback on Australia supports mighty tranmere (quite possibly a small club). was talking to his dad who lives in the wirral and he backed up moyes comments.

    so, no - not bitter at Liverpool if they do less bragging and less dirty tactics on the pitch.

    To be fair, I've read the thread thanks, There is no excuse for some of the posts and I won't be accepting any. I don't expect to have to say any more on the matter.

    Why do you have Liverpools runners up stats in all competitions but not Evertons?....ah I see to make the Liverpool list look like it dwarves Evertons.
