The Mail Bag

Painful loss

OK so following on from what you all had to say about England's loss in midweek, I guess this is also "bad luck" "just a game" and "one of those things." I know a lot of you also take up for Gerrard and Carragher whenever I mention them but the former is a diver and the latter a whinge bag. Both are overrated and it pains me to lose to these pricks because they actually suck. Gerrard never used to be a diver but since the Villa game this season it seems that he loves to hit the deck and what was up with Carragher having his head in his hands every five second and crying to the ref?

Also talking of homegrown talents Hibbert (like Rooney in midweek) changed the game with a stupid mistake. How could he expect to run alongside Gerrard without that prick diving? Also ,why the hell didn't Kuyt get sent off for a two-footed kung fu kick that would have got him arrested had it happened anywhere but on the field?

Another thing I noticed is that when wearing a suit Moyes looks like some sort of pop star from 1981 which is weird. Finally we all know Howard is pretty crap so why handball to stop a certain goal when you know it will lead to a certain goal via the penalty and a red card and ban as well?

Can just read the headlines on Monday - Neville and Hibbert say "we must get back on track. We cant let this defeat get us down. We have to atone for this with the fans". Give me a break. Just shut the fuck up and attempt to play football. You lot have disappointed us once again, I am just happy I dont live there anymore and have to put up with this crap on Monday. Funy thing is I could have written the script and made a few dollars by predicting we would give up a goal at the death. If I could I would give up on this team and move on but as we all know none of us can.

Let's have no more slagging off messages about Phil Neville - he might not be the best defender in the world, but he's a leader, he's committed, and he loves Everton and plays for the shirt.

Playing goalkeeper with the last kick of the game shows absolute devotion to the cause. Phil - I take my hat off to you - you do care. All true supporters would probably have done the same...those who just collect the salary wouldnt dreamt of doing it....

He's gone up 1000% in my book. Legend.

Great first-half of the blues. By far the better team. Second half. Non-penalty given by the ref. The foul and red card to Tony OK. But no penalty because it was not in the box. Then a red card not showed to shite Kuyt. A killing tackle to an Everton player. Only yellow??? Poor ref.

Then two penalties not given to Everton. The final one over Lescot it's unbelieveble. Of course the rats dominated the second half but we were in 10. I liked very much Lescot, Osman, Anichebe. Not so well Arteta. I don't like his game when he don't go to the net. Good touch, good control, but in circles, you are getting nowwhere. Moyes was very courage to be in ten and have the same atittude. I like the blues. When we do have Cahill, Gravesen, Johnson we can compete with anybody. Still as most as you fellow blues, i think one or two more great midfielders could turn us from a good team to a top team.

i'm so gutted to lose to this red pricks...I must pay a lunch to a british partner from a company that is coming to Portugal on tuesday. He's red....

Although the anger im feeling will be with me for a while, I'm proud to say I'm a blue. Before the sending of (anyone notice that rat Gerrard have a word with the ref) we dominated, and with Lescott causing chaos down the left, I'm confident we would of scored again. Anyway we know that never happened... a man down, and a penalty (that never was). Shows how poor Liverpool are, that they couldn't capitalize, and shows what a great team we are. We where cheated, first by Huytons finest, then by the ref (2 penalties to Lescott please) who had a mare. I also thought Yakubu had his best game... Anyway life goes on

I was proud of our boys today. Sure there were a few mistakes, but overall they were completely professional, as opposed to those prima donnas on the other side, in particular Carragher and Gerrard. Carragher whined at every little decision and Gerrard's decision regarding the penalty and subsequent bitch-fest to the ref was disgraceful. The ref and linesmen were horrible, too.

The Blues, however, were calm, accepted the ref's decisions no matter how retarded and obvious (see Lescott's would-be penalty in injury time). When McFadden was booked he stood there like a man, while Carragher ran around like a little girl crying his eyes out.

No I didn't like the result, but I'm still proud of our boys. They totally embody the Everton spirit.

Kieran: Agree with most of your comments. Especially about Gerrard and Carragher. Their behaviour in this game was disgusting. They were the only RS players whom I respected, but not anymore.
But i disagree with your comment about Neville’s handball. I think it was a brave thing to do. Remember that Howard almost stopped the goal.
Also about DM’s dress. He looks better, IMHO, in a suit.
But, for me, today it was all about the referee. Absolutely disgraceful!

I thought we played well today considering we were playing against 12. Apart from a tricky opening 10 minutes and the final 10 minutes, the red shite didnt look like scoring from open play. Only when fuckface Steeeeeveeee Geeeeeee splashed in the penalty area and persuaded twatenburg to send off Hibbert did they look like scoring. Fucker. Hate the cocksucker. Jamie ’crybaby’ Carragher could complain for England. He cant get in the football side so he quits. Twat. Call me bitter, and I probably am but that is how I feel. Bring on Larissa in Thursday. If we play anything like this, we will mash them.

The ref was a disgrace Kuyt should of gone for that lunge it was awful and the pen decision was diabolical
Tony Hoofball Hibbert had been frustrating throughout the first half with his hoofing the ball the RS’s heads.
Then he committed suicide first by failing to clear a header in the centre circle he was easily first too and then the clumsy challenge on Gerrard. If Howard would of come out and smothered the attempt the score would of remained 1-0 and we still have 11 on the pitch. Sorry Hibbo but the time to go has come old son your just not up to the job which is a shame as your a local lad.

Please Moyes can you leave Hibbert out in future and put PN at right back. I thought Anichebe should of gone off ahead of Yakubu and Carsley should of gone on near the end to help shut up shop to get the draw.
