Sorry to ramble on.
Loads of derbies stick out for me but two others in particular was when we beat them 3-1 and Barmby scored. Can just remember the kop singing HES RED HES WHITE HE SCORED AGAINST THE sh*te NICK BARMBY over and over.
The other one was in the season we nearly won the league with brendan. We played them just after Christmas and at the time we were neck and neck in the league both around 4th. I think it was roberto Martinez’s first season and they were playing better football than what they’re usually known for.
For this game, I was sat in the old paddock but right by Anfield road. Their used to be like a little triangle and I was in there. Night game and the atmosphere was booming. All those bourn idiots came in, loud, excited, optimistic.
That’s until the game starts and we completely played them off the pitch. S&S were on fire but i remember coutinho in particular being unplayable that night. Won 4-0 but that flattered them. Could have been 10.
Best part about it was being so close to that lot and seeing how angry and gutted they were. Seeing loads walk out with half an hour left to go because they just can’t bear losing to us. Fantastic.
