      Wow!! Now that's it official it's going to make your derbies even better to watch. This spices the rivalry between the two  clubs even more with mixed views from both sets of fans.  ;D

      As an outsider I still find it hard to believe but boy I'm looking forward to watching how it all unfolds. This is serious head lines news for me. Better check my Derby dates  :lmao:

      What does Rafa deserve? A job? All this carry on... he's gone to a bitter rival.

      When a player does that you are fuming. If he was loyal to Liverpool he wouldn't accept the job simple.

      What next, Steven Gerrard to go to Everton after Rafa and you'll all be delighted at that news too?

      Normally I’d agree and wouldn’t want an ex red to manage them or another rival, but the circumstances here are different.

      Rafa will always be considered a legend because of Istanbul and his charity work, in particular Hillsborough. He will always be welcome here unless one day he manages Manchester United, that would be the only step too far.

      Managing everton isn’t anywhere near as bad. If all of a sudden they started to become competitive and challenged for major honours then opinions would change. But for now, taking on a small club in a city where he resides doesn’t really affect us, even if they are our noisy neighbours.

      The job makes sense for Rafa and his family and I think the vast majority of us wish him well, just as long as they don’t do THAT well.

      Unfortunately the majority of their fan base don’t seem too keen on the appointment and the second they hit a poor run of form they’ll be all over him and it’ll get very toxic, which won’t be nice to see. I’ll be very surprised if he lasts three years there.

      I’m hoping he gets off to a flyer and then a top club comes in for him who he drops everton for immediately. Would be hilarious.

      Not having that mate. There's very little difference in it being United or Everton. The  reactions of many on here prove that.

      The few you mean.

      The majority, like most Liverpool fans are not arsed about Everton, cos they're a F***ing irrelevance.

      And even better reactions when you actually tell the soft bluenosed cu*ts that!!

      I agree its more Everton that are pissed off and understandably so. Not sure irrelevance is the case, at the end of the day United & Everton will always be your biggest bitter rivals irrespective of how well/bad they do in the league.

      You must be looking forward to the Everton match more than normal?

      I'm sure most Liverpool fans don't even see Everton as a rival. 'Rival' implies some competition, which there isn't. United are our rival, Everton are just our noisy neighbour.

      Yeah but at the same time you always want them to lose just as much as United.  Point taken though should of explained myself better.

      Honestly, I only want us to finish above them. As long as we do that, I don't care whether they finish 2nd or last.

      As far as United are concerned, I actually want you to finish second behind us. Because it means you got to dream and then we crushed your dream... ('It's the hope that kills you'). I'm a bit of a sadist like that.  :lmao: ;)

      Now you see my point re rivalry, you've just basically admitted it as long as they come second, that's rivalry  ;D


      Re United makes perfect sense  :lmao:
