You know what, watching that game today, I realise that none of us deserve it.
If we win it by being the least shit, I'll take it.
And I'll try my best to remember my expectations (and yours) from the start of the season.
But I'll be gutted.
We were shit. No excuses. Blackburn were too - and they deserved 0 points, but so did we.
If the redshitheads win the derby, they'll get 4th. I really believe that. Thus, as the derby is at anfield, the whole thing is 50/50 - unless they don't beat the shower of shit that is blackburn.
However, if I was a redshite, I'd hate benitez. Exposed horribly this weekend.
agreed about the fourth spot. I think it highlights just how shit the Premiership is.
If Everton are the fourth best side in our country on hard work, closing down and not much else then it's a sad day for football. If Houllier's team were a disgrace to football then God only knows what that makes Everton.
I do respect Moyes for taking a rag, tag and bobtail outfit to fourth spot but I would be gutted if I was an Evertonian having to pay £30 to watch utterly dull football. But with respect Flimsier, you don't go to the matches.....just comically hate their rivals with some venom from the comfort of your armchair.
It's a joke that the fourth spot is such a big deal and highlights how European football has swallowed all other competitions up. The FA cup plays a distant second fiddle. Slur Alex was saying the other month that the Premiership is a bit flat compared to the ahem "champions" league.
Asked for Benitez - I'm 100% behind him. I prefer his style of play - ok at times we haven't played well - but I remember going to watch Houllier's team in his first season alone and think we are a better outfit under Rafa. And the fans opinion - well I remember the justified "Houllier ha ha ha ha ha ha" chants from his first season - It's a lot different to the fans songs about Rafa Benitez in his first season with Liverpool.
And asked for your "should hate Rafa"......that just proves how distorted your knowledge really is. It's also hilarious that your hatred has increased 10 fold since we got a decent manager in. Playing shite dull football - you hardly raised your contempt last season - playing decent attractive football and you've started to throw your toys out of your pram!
After five years of defensive utter shite footie - it's nice to see us claw deficits back. As an Evertonian, you can only dream of scoring 3 goals in 45 minutes against Olympiakos to progress in the Champions League....winning 3-1 against one of the top German sides - when everyone thought we would lose!
Getting to the League cup final with a threadbare youth team and being 10 minutes away from winning it against a team that has spent around £200m more than us in the last couple of seasons......
This is all in the first season. Ask the Mancs what Slur Alex was like in his first season - or fifth season if you want....
I'm happy with Benitez even though you are not!
