I was delighted to see the people stayed at the liverpool games. Thats what true fans do.
I was at the derby and I stayed til the end. I can excuse people leaving early when your playing at goodison and OT. When you do so you avoid the everton and man u hooligans lurching around the away end after the game in gangs trying to find an away fan on his/her own to attack. I got shed loads of abuse in the city that day so anything that was said to me by some irishtoffee in the airport or on the plane was completely irrelevant. The guy who was abused should have known better than to sit with evertonians.
Cant wait for feb 3rd, however when we win there will be trouble after the game and if by some miracle everton get a result there wont be. There is an interesting pattern when you look at crowd trouble at derby games but then again goodison is the home of hooliganism.

Mascherano to Liverpool deal back on
By Andy Hunter
Published: 16 January 2007
Liverpool were given hope of a breakthrough in their laborious efforts to sign Javier Mascherano from West Ham United last night when Fifa announced the Argentina international may be allowed to move to Anfield after all.
Rafael Benitez is anxious to strengthen his squad with the World Cup midfielder but has been frustrated in his attempts by world football's governing body, which prevents a player appearing for three clubs between 1 July and 30 June the following year.
Fifa regulations stipulate that while a player can register with a maximum of three clubs during that time, they can only play for two, and as Mascherano starred for Corinthians after the World Cup and before his astonishing move to West Ham in August, he is ineligible to play for Benitez's side. Only last week Fifa announced that the ruling was binding but, having received a written submission from Liverpool that contests the decision, the governing body has now confirmed it will consider a possible U-turn.
A Fifa spokesman said last night: "We have received correspondence from Liverpool and a case has now been opened."
Liverpool's detailed argument is supported by Mascherano's representatives, Media Sports Investments, the group founded by Kia Joorabchian who also brought Carlos Tevez to West Ham before his failed attempt to take over the east London club. Liverpool's case is that, as the midfielder has played just six minutes for the Hammers since October and has made only seven appearances in total, and none since Alan Curbishley became manager, leaving the asset idle on the sidelines represents a restraint of trade.
Liverpool also argue that precedents have been set on the three-club rule and there should be an allowance for Mascherano as he played in both the European and the South American seasons last year, with the latter's calendar extending beyond 1 Julyt.
Should Fifa grant an exception, the Argentine's move to Anfield would proceed instantly.
The Anfield directors have also sanctioned a deal for Blackburn Rovers' Lucas Neill, who could be involved in the Liverpool squad to face Chelsea on Saturday provided he resists greater financial offers from West Ham or Newcastle United.
Everton line up £5.5m bid to bring Barton back home
By Andy Hunter
Published: 16 January 2007
Everton will make an audacious attempt to convince Joey Barton to exchange the sky blue of Manchester for the royal blue of Merseyside if they can raise £5.5m to activate a release clause in his City contract before the close of the transfer window.
David Moyes, the Everton manager, has identified the tenacious 24-year-old as the man to improve his side's faltering prospects of European qualification this season and is prepared to pay a record sum for a midfielder at Goodison Park, plus a salary of around £35,000 a week, to tempt Barton into what would be a controversial move.
The former Everton trainee signed a four-year contract at Manchester City last summer but it contains a clause that allows him to speak to any club willing to meet a £5.5m release fee. Moyes does not have that money at his disposal at present, but that will change overnight provided Fulham follow up their interest in the Wales international Simon Davies with an offer in the region of £2.75m.
The veteran central defender David Weir is expected to leave the Goodison pay roll today by rejoining his former manager Walter Smith at Glasgow Rangers on a free transfer, and with Everton yet to spend the £2.5m they banked from Wigan for Kevin Kilbane on transfer deadline day last August, the sale of the former Tottenham winger Davies will generate the funds Moyes needs to pursue the Barton transfer.
Then comes the hard part, convincing the England hopeful that his career would be best served by a move back to Goodison Park. Not only does Barton harbour ambitions of joining one of the Premiership's top four clubs, he announced a fortnight ago that he would not leave Manchester City during this transfer window. Barton, a boyhood Evertonian, has also endured run-ins with supporters of his former club in the past.
In 2005 he was sent home from a pre-season tour of Thailand by City's manager, Stuart Pearce, for fighting with a teenage Everton fan at the bar of a Bangkok Hotel. Last September he responded to taunts about his half-brother Michael, jailed for the racist murder of the Liverpool teenager Anthony Walker in 2005, by dropping his shorts to the Goodison Park crowd and attracted an FA fine.
Despite so many apparent obstacles, however, Everton officials believe they can tempt Barton to become the local fulcrum of a side with designs on the Uefa Cup next season.
Unlike Everton, City remain in the FA Cup this season and will tonight seek to secure a fourth-round home tie against Southampton, as well as raising fresh transfer funds for manager Pearce, when they face Sheffield Wednesday in a third-round replay.
Though under no pressure to sell Micah Richards, Sylvain Distin or Barton (release clause not withstanding) this month, the City manager, who yesterday insisted there had still been no official approach from Chelsea for the England defender, is not awash with transfer funds himself.
Despite presiding over an impressive start to 2007 Pearce is anxious to bolster a strike force that has yielded just nine goals this season and last night he lost Paul Dickov for between six and eight weeks after he underwent surgery on a broken toe.
To that end, tonight's television income plus shared gate receipts offer an added incentive to progress. "It will impact on my transfer budget without a doubt," Pearce said.
City are today expecting an answer from Seville on their offer to take Kepa Blanco Gonzalez on loan until the end of the season, with Charlton and West Ham also believed to be interested in the Spanish striker, and have given a week's trial to the Internazionale defender and former Italy international, Francesco Coco.
The American midfielder Claudio Reyna will soon be off the City pay roll, having been allowed by the club to return to the MLS for family reasons, and Pearce has confirmed his interest in the former City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips is at an end. "We have been quoted a price that's a million miles away from our budget and Chelsea don't want a loan deal," he said.
One striker City have secured is Djamel Abdoun, a French Under-20 international who has signed on loan from Ajaccio until the end of the season and who, back in his homeland this weekend, somewhat unwisely confessed to modelling his game on the current darling of Old Trafford, Cristiano Ronaldo. "Does he really?" asked a sceptical Pearce. "Well, we'll soon knock that out of him."

Three was a time when knowing about such clauses would lead to FA punishment.
Totally agree. Is Willie Mackay his agent?
yeah thats himQuote:

An Agent with otu morals surely not !! probibly the worst case ive heard is Fat Dolan while manager of cork organised the sale of Doyle for 80,000 for the club but as he was acting as his agent aswell he pocketed 1 mill for himself !!! Thats why i was so dissapointed to see him hanging around Hogan park last year .Quote:

Fernandes joins on loan with an option .
hopefully a striker will arrive too after AJ getting taking off , his leg isnt broken but he wont be fit for Sat thats for sure ..
I dont think it will , i think he will be out for a month anyway still waiting on the medical reports . i reckon Moyes will go with Anchovie up front with cahill and artetta in support , VDM on the left , Ossy on the right , and Cars in central midfield . then phil, yobo ,lesscott and Stubbs arcoss the back .Quote:

Matt Dickinson, Chief Football Correspondent; Oliver Kay and Gary Jacob
Premiership clubs have been asked to clarify transfers involving joint ownership of players after concerns arose over various deals.
The Premier League yesterday blocked Everton’s attempts to sign Manuel Fernandes permanently because of a Portuguese investment fund’s 50 per cent share in the midfield player, while Javier Mascherano’s proposed move to Liverpool is also complicated by the fact that he is not owned entirely by West Ham United.
All 20 top-flight clubs were contacted yesterday by the league, which is bound to have reservations about the increasing practice of players being part-owned by other parties. Fernandes, the Benfica midfield player who has been on loan at Portsmouth this season, has moved to Everton on loan for the rest of the 2006-07 campaign. “The problem is the ownership with the player [Fernandes]. His registration would not purely rest with Everton,” a Premier League spokesman said.
I see DIC have pulled out of the takeover.
Gillette fella is having a look now , he wants to ground share BOOOOOO!!!!!Quote:

What's that now?? About 10 would-be investors now turned down by Moores and Parry?? Power-freaks who can't stand the thought of someone having more power in the club than them. :rolleyes:
I reckon that DIC will do a Randy Lerner, and come back into the frame after they've finished sulking. And much as I don't want a new stadium for sentimental reasons, I can see why we need it after the quality of my ground level view of the Liverpool-Watford game. :( It's become a run-down replica of Lansdowne by now.
Tough luck Koppites. There's always next season! :DQuote:

Equally small clubs come to Anfield and don't play to their plan that well, so due respect should be given to Everton...
the beautful game eh? :rolleyes:

3-0, 0-0

Small club!! I don’t think so small man yes indeed. what a bitch " what do you do when a team plays narrow and deep " well rafa you tactical genius you play it out wide , your the one that left your only natural winger on the bench . stop bitching you where outsmarted by moyes again .
Im sick of this they wouldn’t let us play , well rafa its not our fault your not a good enough manager and you "big" team isn’t talented enough to be able to break down such a "small club"
Are you Jose in disguise? Well no Jose has more humility
Pathetic
Everton's celebrations at scraping a draw at the end no doubt influenced his outburst......
Celebrations? :confused:Quote:

Celebrations ?? i didnt see any celebrations i could only hear everton fans singing and cheering on there team , it was quite easy to hear over the amazing red fans that "stay and keep singing right to the end" , strange how i could hear the 3,000 everton fans over the 40,000 reds ??
who says the derby means nothing to liverpool anymore if it didnt why did they get so worked up coming up to during and after the game :rolleyes:
There are people who say it sadly, people I don't talk to about football mind.
