Premier Lg EPL Matchday 23 - On Optus Sport

[SM]

Considering in Liverpool a lot of familes are blue/red, the desire to see either relegated isn't actually there.

Jamie Carragher (Closet blue anyway), always said he'd rather see Liverpool 1st and then Everton 2nd, for the good of the city.

It's the international fans that take it to another level and want to see the other relegated as the emotional attachment to the city isn't there.

It's also a weird line because they might find it funny and for the bantz for 5 seconds then they'll realise they don't have a big hometown derby to look forward to the following season.

I'm sure Newcastle laughed at Sunderland for 5 seconds and then secretly hoped they'd bounce back.

Don't want Everton relegated at all.


Best case result for a Liverpool fan is they finish 17th 1 point ahead of relegation with a GD of -110.

But that's because no one goes to your derby games anyway.

In total fairness, the Merseyside derby is incredibly overrated, at least the Anfield portion of it. Goodison usually provides a more "even matched" affair.

I think Liverpool fans wouldn't really care if Everton become irrelevant from being relegated, their rivalry with United is just as big and offers more relevance to fighting for titles/top 4 etc these days.

My ideal world is what we had in 2013/14. Everton were fighting for Top 4, Liverpool were fighting for the title. We had a 3-3 game at Goodison and still to this day one of my favourite games of football ever played.

I think even most int. Liverpool fans would prefer us to stay up secretly though but they'd certainly be enjoying the turmoil we're in that is for sure.

With you on this. Wouldn't like not having them to play. At the same time I'm fine with their fans shitting themselves about being relegated all season.

From my experience and understanding this is totally inaccurate.

Everton fans: Kopites are gobshite
Also Everton fans: actually you shouldn't hate us and secretly want us to stay up

Couldn't care less if Liverpool fans hate us.

I'm just saying there is a massive difference between a local fan's desire to see Everton stay up/go down, versus the international glory hunting Liverpool fans.

From my experience and understanding this is totally inaccurate.

Agree to disagree. It's called the friendly derby for a reason.

That’s just a cliche mate, what’s friendly about it? It’s a very toxic derby and has been since I’ve been following it. Don’t think it was too friendly in the 80’s either.

You're referring to the on-pitch antics, which I agree in my time watching Everton, have never been remotely close to friendly. IIRC it's the fixture with the most red cards in England.

You should know though it's called the friendly derby due to the household splits across Merseyside supporting red/blue. Imagine a red Uncle watching his Nephew blue cry his eyes out at the thought of Everton going down. You think that Uncle wishes for it to happen?

That's the case in Liverpool but obviously not the case for yourself, or myself or any other international fan. I'd enjoy Liverpool's demise (Not that it'll ever happen), as much as most Liverpool fans on this board enjoy watching Everton suffer. It's different for us.

I’m referring exclusively to off the pitch and I’m talking about in Liverpool. Fair enough if you believe all that but I think you’re way off.

After the win or after the fact it’s been over a month since they last scored in the prem?

Guess it's agree to disagree then.

The win, it was the derby after all

Didn't you get rattled by me the other day when Jones was sacked when I hadn't said anything? Think you need to take a breather, I'm clearly in your head too much.

 

[Magma]

dont know why anyone would want 6 points their team gets each season relegated really.

 

[chef]

Can they both get relegated?
