Everton 1 Liverpool 0

The 200th Merseyside Derby..

Everton and Liverpool have a 200 games old tradition of football rivalry and it all begun since 1894 although Liverpool was established in 1892 but they finally played Everton 2 years later and just for the records, Everton won that first game..

It's the Merseyside derby and it's probably one of the most important games in the season calender and i'd never want to miss out on this..

I got on to Tatts Pokies along Chapel Street at about 11.15pm as the game starts at 11.30pm..The Melbourne Blues werent able to organise any live game meetup as many were away for the weekends of some shite..But Blues around other states of Australia organised some pretty good meetups..Brisbane Blues, Sydney Blues and Perth Blues..All had their very own live game meetups..All i manage to pull out in Melbourne is just 4 Evertonians together for this game..Oh well..Better then none..

The Merseyside Derby is one of those games that gets me so excited but when the game is actually being played, i'd have that tiny little voice speaking to me telling me that i should be away from the tv and just watch the final score..Skip all the drama and heart stopping moments..So much pride is at stake on this matchday..

Everton 3rd and Liverpool no where near to be seen..The Merseyside Derby normally have a numerous yellow cards being flashed out, a few red cards being thrown out occasionally and a few punches being thrown out at Liverpool players..(Not that Everton favours boxing but its just that Liverpool players are so shitty they simply am not capable of punching back..Oh well, regardless of punching back or not they do get send off as well..)

The game begins and Everton held on to some pretty good possessions but never really tested Liverpool's goal in the first half where else Liverpool had lesser possession but manage to sneak in a few shots to test Nigel Martyn..


The first half came to an end and both teams still couldnt break the deadlock..

Lee Carsley broke the deadlock for Everton in the 68th minute when Osman set up the Carsley and his curling shot from 20 yards beat Kirkland.

And seconds later Riise had to kick off the line from Cahill as Everton went for the kill.


I'm telling you..This is TEAM SPIRIT!! You have never really seen this sort of celebration..The spirit, the togetherness..


I did mention about some punches might be exchanged but not this time..It was just a little pushing and look at how dramatic Liverpool players were..Although i do admit that Big Dunc is probably just asking a little bit too much..I reckon that Moyes probably brought Big Dunc in to stir things a little..Strike fear into Liverpool and scare the shite out of them in broad day light..lol..Myself and my fellow Evertonians were simply giggling while watching this as there were a few Liverpool fans around as well..Oh well..


Need i say more? Big Dunc!! He has an Everton tattoo on his left arm and that tattoo speaks out loud!!

Everton is now SECOND on the table after Chelsea as Chelsea and Arsenal drew in a controversial 2-2 match..Everton second on the table and is a team well worthy for that position. This just goes to show what can happen when you've got 11 players willing to work for each other week in, week out..

Christmas came early for Everton..Have a Merry Blue Christmas.
