...it is amazing how positive they are. Its probably something to do with them being deluded, but they are the same for every game. I was in the betting shop at 09.00 and a couple of them were discussing whether they would win 3-0 or 3-1, another lad came in and said he dreamt it would be 3-0 for them.

If we had their derby form, I'd be massively confident too.

Just hoping Martinez can start to turn it around...

Well my fellow blues as usual i fkd up with my travel plans things left to late etc, and just turned 56 last week and still never seen a derby live, so its over to Red nose Turton,s (ex Lark Lane man)house in Heide (North from Hamburg)My nerves are wreaked and for the love of god Coleman clean tackles in the box. 3-1 COYB.

Reckon we're gonna get battered. Gerrard, Sturridge and Suarez.

...Racing Post headline; 'Penetration a problem for stubborn Toffees'. I've backed Distin and Jagielka in 1st goalscorer bets, just hoping we get something.

I agree with you about O'keefe. He hasn't give a fair representation of what was said though.

Ossie 'people keep asking can we close the gap etc', 'we've finished above them the last two years and played the better footie'. Thats alls in it really.

Yeah, it was mostly O'Keeffe's spin, but Ossie is old enough and experienced enough to know handing out interviews like that just before a Derby is counterproductive...or can be. As you said: do your gloating about being on top after you win the game.

I really cant tolerate this feller now, tbh. He's not only not good enough for us (not his fault, like, he's just not got the ability we need to give us performances for 90 minutes), but I think his attitude is iffy. His statements since Martinez arrived suggest someone determined to pull the 'senior' player routine and sound almost bemused when he's left out of a starting line up. He's lucky to have a contract signed up to 2015 - thanks to his old manager.

I have a great feeling about today and can't wait for this.

Gonnae go for a 2-1 win, followed by a 2-0 win for Morton this afternoon.

COYB and Mon e 'Ton.

I would love to have the confidence Kopites have going into Derby's

I've just been over to check the mood at rawk and they're mostly nervous.

They're worried about who plays LB, Sturridge's fitness, Goofy's travels this week and Everton's home record. None of their usual arrogance.

Which will make not a jot of difference to what happens today and while nothing would surprise me, I'm confident that RM will
set us up well for the job.

First derby since i moved to moscow and its pure scouse weather, pissing down with rain, cold with loads of shady types with hoods up mooching around, got a good feelign for once about a derby, 3-1 lukkaku with a hatrick and gerrard with a pen

Midfield is decisive; we'll own midfield.

Barry is going to stamp his authority on this game. The feller is ideal for games like this.

Surely this is more important, mate?
