You don't say! We've got the bitters at Anfield on the weekend of 5-7th January. Can a mod correct the thread title, please? This mobile phone touch screen lark ...
Lol! Kind of sucks though because that's a tedious high intensity game where the Bitters will look to cause injuries.
"The Merseyside derby gives Liverpool the chance to correct one of cup football's more unusual statistics - that the Reds have never beaten Everton in an FA Cup tie at Anfield." http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/42227661
Wow. I was upset about this draw when I'd prefer an easy match to rest much of the first 11... but not anymore. 4-0, bury them.
My parents first date was the derby match in the FA Cup semi final in Manchester in 1950! My Mum took a brick to stand on (she would be arrested for that now)!
Always loved going to derbies .Should be a fantastic atmosphere at Anfield for this one. The fans will be up for it, the players will feed off the energy and hopefully we'll mop the floor with Everton ........................ again . Gotta do the business in the league this weekend first tho.
Gotta finish off Spartak and the group stage of the CL first, then do the business in the league through December...starting with the derby on Sunday... The FA Cup tie vs Everton is not until January
Only when they don't go our way. The bitters or on a bit of a roll right now with 3 or 4 wins with Fat Sam. We're the only team they've dropped points to. We really owe them a drubbing (good word drubbing) for that game.
Nah - They'd probably just take the brick..... (However, depending on the colour of the brick they might do her for a hate crime...)
The Bitters, unbeaten in 7 games now. Fat Sam has them playing together, desparate defence then striking out from behind the bus. Time to take them apart.
Outstanding results. Has the bitters buzzing and ready to finish above Liverpool, once more. He needs a bigger gig, I tell you.
Then just because..! Derby Match! For those who aren't sure or those who want to know and google or wiki up the question. They'll find the answer given is, it's taken from a horse race, the Epsom Derby. Well that's a load of horse shit from Lazy asses and donkeys. It pisses me off because once it's in print...it's gospel isn't it. WTF would a game between two of Derby county parishes be associated with a horse race. Here's a couple of 'printed' items that are closer to the real thing. According to the Wimbledon FootballSupporters' Handbook, Shrove Tuesday games began in the 18th century. The most famous took place in Derby when the young men of the parish of All Saints challenged those from nearby St Peter's. All men over the age of 18 took part, trying to force the ball from one parish into the other. In 1731 the mayor made an unsuccessful attempt to suppress the game, (Too many broken bones and a few deaths) repeated every year by his successors until 1848, when troops were called in. From then on the name 'local Derby' was attributed to any football match played with fierce partisanship between neighbouring clubs. The town of Derby was renowned as the site of a chaotic and exuberant game that involved the whole town and often resulted in fatalities. The goals were at Nuns Mill in the north and the Gallows Balk in the south of the town, and much of the action took place in the River Derwent or the Markeaton Brook. Nominally the players came from All Saints' and St Peter's parishes, but in practice the game was a free-for-all with as many as 1,000 players. A Frenchman who observed the match in 1829 wrote in horror, 'if Englishmen call this play, it would be impossible to say what they call fighting'. The traditional Shrovetide football match is still an annual event in the town of Ashbourne, Derbyshire. I had to get that off my chest.......Yes I feel better now. Carry on.
A decent draw but I was hoping to play a lower level side so that Klopp could give a run out to some of the kids. WBA may be a bit to strong to risk it.
