no i didnt mean better looking...i mean he also ugly but then in a different way.

4th place is ours! we can go into the game on wednesday full of confidence , well deserved win , reina never made a save in the second half , i think that says it all , better luck next year Everton:P

Best of luck mate!

I'm very nervous about the triple header, but I'm hoping we can pull it off successfully!

Im not going to carry on with the discussion of who's hot and who's not.. but i will say WELL DONE YOU REDS

Yep, I'm not saying he will be a total Harry Kewell-esque flop because he won't be but I'm simply stating my opinion in response to how I've heard Liverpool fans talk about him.

I haven't watched every Liverpool match this season but I've watched a good few and for me he just doesn't have that spark about him where you think "Yes, he's definitely going to be at the top of the game in the future". He has potential and undoubted ability but I'm really not surprised why Arsene Wenger had a look at him and decided to give it a miss.

If I was going to do a straight comparison I'd go with Babel and Nani, both the same age in the same position with Babel just having that bit more experience. I look at Babel and he seems a little more settled in his progression as a footballer whereas if I look at Nani he just strikes me as the more raw, fearless and hungry of the two. In my opinion Nani looks as if he is sitting on a more steep curve of progression where I can look forward with confidence that he will come on very rapidly over the next few seasons and that is the area where I'd think about Babel and I'd be a bit more unsure about him.

But I won't get too far ahead of the issue, it isn't dead set by any means and it has the possibility to go either way, I could be correct and I could be dead wrong. If I'm proved wrong I'll be the first to admit it but that's just the feel I get from Babel.

What's this pathetic story about Gerrard that they won't tell us about on talksport?

Well i haven't been one to rant and rave about Babel this season. He has done a decent job for someone bought for the future. At times sublime, often lacking the confidence to try things or anonymous.

I'm hoping his confidence grows, and he is more willing to try things and use his pace, because when he does he can be deadly. Confidence seems to have a big impact on him.

As for Nani. I think you're right. He does seems to have that raw talent that will shine through. I'd prefer to have him if i'm honest. I think he's better, but i can't complain with Babel. He could end up a lot better than Nani, but equally, he could end up a lot worse. Either way, AT LEAST HE ISN'T LENNON!!!!

I'm confident Babel can become a very good player if played in his best position (i don't know where that is, but it's not on the left, unless he improves his left foot!).

Was nice to win the derby but as usual we made hard work of it. All over them in the 1st half but while it was only 1 nil Everton would have belief. They came back into it a little in the 2nd but we were always comfortable to be honest.

Shameful dive by the yak

Oh & Kuyt is ugly, the girls are right

Onwards to Wednesday & part 1 of 3 vs the Arsenal

His armband said he was a red, Torres, Torres
You'll never walk alone it said, Torres, Torres
We bought the lad from sunny spain, he gets the ball he scores again
FERNANDO TORRES, Liverpool's number 9

True that. I was excited about Lennon to the point where I used to wind BJ up about Sir Alex coming down and pinching him but he's been overtaken by the likes of Bentley and Young it seems. So it shows how wrong you can be about first impressions on players, especially wingers.



What's going on there? Elaborate please, sounds juicy.

The one where his missus snorted coke with some hard core gangsta in Liverpool, shagged him and Gerrard demanded a dna test cos the babies aparntly not his?

Only one I know of.

What were the Everton fans singing to Gerrard to the tune of the Adebayor song, i assume it is something to do with the story mentioned above?

It's a song about him not being the father of one of his kids

Not a peep outta the Everton fans for 55 minutes then they sing that song, way to get behind your team.

I don't know Forev. But on talksport they said Everton fans have caught on to some pathetic story that isn't worthy of getting attention by them saying what it is on air. They implied it's ludicrous [beep!] though. I want to know what it is regardless. It's like they are teasing us!

Is that true Becks? Or were you making that up?


EDIT: Ahh, right. Cheers crabhead.

Nope, well I don't know if it's made up but on another forum I read an Everton fan said that and I also remember reading in the paper a while back about Gerrards bird snorting coke, unsure about the baby bit though.

so crabhead...did you went to the match?

I heard a lot of Everton songs on the tele actually.

I heard that story about his wife last year aswell.

Wouldn't surprise me, she looks like a mucky cow.

Yes love, season ticket holder

Do you think now that Liverpool have the 4th spot secure or is there much to be done?
