Fresh off of a fine Champions League away win against the evergreen Kevin Campbell’s current club, we now return to Anfield where, a generation and less flamboyant haircut ago, he became the last Everton player to score the winning goal for his team. While it’s fair to say that our league form has been dire with three defeats on the bounce, Everton also go into the derby on shaky ground, having lost two in a row after tomorrow's meek surrender to Manchester City.

Just win.

 

Just get these rats beat.

 

Not a lot of joy left in season probably, so this and a win at the toilet v the mancs are big targets.

 

We can't let them stick a rotten cherry on top of this bastard season by winning at ours for first time this century.

 

So just get these beat, redmen.

Last season - December 2019 to be exact - we handed the shite a 5-2 drubbing despite resting half our regulars. The likes of Adrian, Degsy, Ram Man and Big Div were in the side, and the outfielders all made telling contributions. We simply carried on winning game after game, streaking clear in the league and leaving everyone else in the dust. Marco Silva got the axe after the game with his side mired in the relegation zone. They obviously weren't THAT bad, but Marco Silva is a coach who had a reputation totally at odds with the results he was producing. His teams were always bumming around in the lower reaches.

 

Picture the scene. January 2014. We've been very good in the league and there are whispers of possibly being in a title race for the first time in 5 years. Suarez is in world-class barnstorming form. Sturridge is absolutely purring. A young whippersnapper called Raheem is looking like the best young England player in years. Coutinho is both making bullets and firing them. Yes we are a bit slapdick at the back and can barely manage a clean sheet but the football is joyously entertaining. Everton are the next team to visit and are in very good form themselves under new manager Roberto Martinez.

 

We handed their arses to them. An early header by Stevie from a corner. A quick dispossession and Sturridge was in for 2. Kolo lobbed a ball over the top and Sturridge dinked a ball right over Tim Howard that looped into the net moments later and we were in dreamland. Suarez ran through from halfway and outpaced the Everton defence to run in a fourth in the second half. Sturridge then blazed a penalty into the Kop when he should have completed a hat-trick. No matter, as this was the most comprehensive derby hiding in 2 decades. It was the genesis of the Angry Evertonian gif (you know the one!) and the start of my 'Nil Satis...' pun-a-thon. Heady days.

 

 

 

 

At the top of the charts, Pharrell Williams led the way with the bright and breezy 'Happy'. I can imagine people hate it because Pharrell Williams is one of those acts who seems to be everywhere at times, and because it WAS played an awful lot back then. I can't bring myself to hate it though, because I don't. It's a genuinely upbeat slice of pop and it doesn't involve Simon Cowell which is a massive plus. It actually topped the charts on 3 separate occasions, but for only 4 weeks in all.

 

 

 

 

We go into this game needing a positive result in the league. Especially at Anfield where performances and results since Christmas have been the polar opposition of everything we'd been doing for the previous 3 years. We've been stuck on the 40-point mark for yonks now, dropping us down the 6th (!), and that after we were top at Christmas! We need the performance. We need the goals. We need the result. And we need to send this lot back to go fetch their fucking shinebox after the ridiculous good fortune they got in the Goodison derby. Go and do it Reds, show why you are the reigning league champions, and we can all be 'Happy' once again. That gif and the 'Nil Satis...' puns are itching for another airing.

What a joyous night that was, singing "Everton FC, That was too easy" in The Park and Sturridge's explanation for his decision not to do the wavey arms inspiring a TLW fridge magnet.

We were robbed of a brilliant striker. At his best he was absolutely electric Sturridge.

Can any Arabic fans on here confirm that ‘wattashocha’ translates as Everton are shite? Commentator says it on 3:50 mark of this highlights vid. What a shocker.

A game some of us are still fuming wasn't 7-0.
