just because you don't like Everton being 2nd best within Liverpool, which they are continually.

[Benj]

It's not quite the same thing tho, is it?

You're an Everton fan, continually taking a pop at Liverpool with every opportunity you can, just because you don't like Everton being 2nd best within Liverpool, which they are continually.

Am I right in thinking that there's new owner tests & rules that come into force this year for the Champs?

If that's the case then my reading of that news is that it's just another scam by Bates to keep the real ownership hidden.

[eFestivals]

Apart from the teams currently. Everton are better. The league proved that.

yeah, but we all know it's a blip.

Everton are a great team, doing exceptionally well in their financial position. But they're as high now as they can reach (unless the financial position changes, which doesn't look like doing any time soon).

Even if it were to take Liverpool 5 seasons to recover from this 'blip', it's still a blip. From any long term view, Everton are 2nd best.

It's the very fact of them being 2nd best which is the driving force behind Benj's knocking of Liverpool.

But when his attempt to knock Liverpool as being 2nd best is for something which Everton are clearly the 2nd best - retaining players who would rather go to Spurs (tho for L'pool, it's not even that; they don't even have the player in the first place to try to retain them), then it's hardly the crime of the century to take the piss back pointing out how mis-placed his attempt to knock L'pool was from his Everton position.

not sure ... but if it is a scam by bates ,,,, we are going down with record low average attendences.

everything Bates has ever done in his life is a scam. Why is it likely to be different this time?

I guess you could be lucky, and he's really wanting out. He's getting pretty old now, isn't he?

... if I wanted to present Everton as better...

... you'd keep making posts about the one club that it's important to you to try and show as worse than Everton.

Oh, you already do.

Bales contract is for 4 years by the way.

[eFestivals]

I have no interest in promoting Everton, simply reducing Liverpool! As you do with Utd.

Your interest in reducing Liverpool is only there because you're an everton fan.

Whereas my knocking Utd is not driven by my fandom, because I'm not a fan of of any competing club (well, apart from in last season's Carling Cup, where Aldershot showed they're closer to Utd than Utd are to City ).

he's not changed much has he? Still spends most of his time strutting about doing nothing at all except looking a twat.

His old contract (which he signed in 2011) ran until 2015.

Barry does it loads and he's an Oldham fan. I mean, he's an idiot, but still.

I don't see why Benj can't enjoy laughing at Liverpool with the rest of us.

[eFestivals]

I don't see why Benj can't enjoy laughing at Liverpool with the rest of us.

And I'm included with that 'rest of us'.

But that doesn't stop me laughing as well as the extremely poor aim he has with his target when in most cases the thing he has a pop at Liverpool for applies far more to his own club, and when it's own club which has set his choice of target.

[The Nal]

For a proper laugh at LFC fans and proof of their mentalness, follow this, its funny as hell!

As I keep saying, you're the one who brings up Everton, Im trying to make Liverpool look worse than everyone, not Everton better than anyone.

and you're the one who keeps bringing up Liverpool, so why aren't I allowed to do the same for another club?

And yes, I KNOW you're trying to to make Liverpool look worse than everyone - which is why you're such a prime target for a pisstake back, particularly when you're aim is as poor as it was this time when your own club is clearly much worse than L'pool for a similar thing (and a worse thing than might [but only might] have happened with L'pool in this instance).

What's the difference? You have a dislike of Utd, I have a dislike of LFC, we both knock them.

Not quite.

I have a dislike of many things around Utd rather than Utd itself, you have a jealousy of LFC, we both knock them.

So there's a difference.

Then there's the difference in what we were knocking too of course. I knocked a club for loosing players to Spurs, you knocked a club for perhaps (just perhaps [last time I looked, anyway]) failing to sign a player they're after.

[Benj]

I hate LFC because of the idiot deluded fans, that I have had to put up with all my life, much like you with Utd in Aldershot I suspect!

- yeah, that's defo in the mix.

It's a statement of fact that Everton are a shitter club than Liverpool. The only real problem here is that you don't like to hear that truth.

[strummer77]

Ah ok. So just buffering the transfer fee next summer then.
