What means more to you?

This is being debated on lfc.tv at the moment.

Obviously they're both massive games and we need to be looking at 6 points, but hypothetically speaking if we could only win one it would have to be the derby for me. In these days of Sky hyping up the rivalries with sh*te like 'Judgement Day' and the like a lot of fans seem to have forgotten who our number one rivals are, the bitters. Add to that the fact that they're breathing down our neck this season and it becomes a no brainer for me.

Admittedly it would also be gutting losing to Manure, but at least we'd hear the end of it after a week or so. If we lose to the bitters you just know it's DVD time again

A win against the scumbags is always essential in any part of the season.
Yes it would be nice to beat the Toffees too, which I think we will anyway. The enemy up the road are going for the league and anything we can do to hinder that is what any reds fan would want, so I'd take beating those shitebags any day of the week 

I'd be interested to see what sort of split there is between locals & out of towners, I have a feeling I'll be in a very small minority that lives out of town but would prefer to beat Everton. Poll added.

Me too Eddie.......... and I say this as a true Scouser, there is no greater satisfaction than beating the blue sh*te, bragging rights for the rest of the season, I doubt very much if we can catch manure, but the blue sh*te are still to close for comfort for my liking....

I seriously can't decide. Honestly.

See, I'm probably stuck in the old days of derbys were bragging rights was banter and not so much ill feeling. These days it's an absolute joke the way it's got so bitter. Anyone who lives here will tell you that.
The bragging rights are one thing - and I know what's like to be on the receiving end over the years. Back in the 80's if we lost, I used to dread the thought of going into school on the Monday. On the other hand, if we won, I was there at the crack of dawn singing songs.

But the rivalry with the mancs is also a big thing if you're a scouser. For me it is anyway. It's a very weird passionate thing. It might stem from Ian Rush finding it bizarrely hard to score against them years ago. I don't know. It could have something to do with the city of Liverpool v the city of Manchester. It's definitely not anything to do with the way games are built up to be from the likes of the media.

A very hard question. They both mean a massive amount to me. I can't comprehend the thought of not being able to beat both of them.

Maybe beating the bitters shades it by a few millimetres because of the local team thing. But as a scouser, I think manchester shade the rivalry over the local bitters.

the poll was a good idea, i think most liverpudlians will go for everton but most out of towners like myself will go for utd. i think its to do with the bragging rights, if your living in liverpool you get to slag your bitter neighbours and friends. for me though most people support the manc scum so i'll get the bragging rights if we give them a good going over, although no reason to think it wont be a win-win situation for everyone in the next 2weeks!

I already said Man U. because if we beat Man sh*te then I have no doubt we will beat Everton anyways. So lets all be happy! The gap between us and them would be 5 points if we win at shitty OT. How about that eh? 5 points! If we lose to the bitters then it will be nervy times for a CL spot as they would be equal with us. So its a split decision depending on how you think of it. Then again, a win at OT and draw at Tin shed Tesco Park wouldnt be too bad at all.

 Why was there not a vote for I would rather beat Manure and Everton,surely I am not being too optimistic in thinking Rafa and the lads are capable of getting a result from both games.As regards being an out of towner,I was born and bred in Liverpool but have lived overseas for quite a few years yet I still consider myself as 100% Liverpool.

a big factor here as well lads is that since the premiership was ccreated in 1992 by sky sports we have had man utd rammed down our throats as the greatest thing ever. Its like football didnt exist before then. There has always been a rivalry with them proabably as much of a city rivalry as a football one but I hate them now with a passion because im told they are the greatest club when quite simply they arent we are facts are facts.

To have to listen to them in work and in the pub fu**ers who prob only get the results and dont even watch games coming up to ye and giving it loads I despise them

Now some people wont like this but I dont actually hate Everton. When they challlenged us inthe 80s I was given the impression of mates standing next to each other at games blues and reds and so never got the feeling that these were a crowd of shites. When that changed they were nowhere so they didnt bother me. I now go out with a blue and all her family are blues and when it comes to the derby theres a good bit of craic and banter with them

Even in Liverpool when im having a pint and get chatting to locals who turn out to be blues never had a problem having a pint with them and talking football. I think the fact there scousers helps but I know i couldnt sit and have a pint with a manc  and talk football or anything else for that matter.

Im not sure to understand why been out of town or not matters!? Anyway, i would rather beat everton because its a derby, simple. Not to forget to mention that the press would have an other real go having them coming back close to us for the 4th spot. Saying that i expect us to win both games.

Why was there not a vote for I would rather beat Manure and Everton

Because I'd assume that everyone would vote for that option if it was there, and we'd be no clearer as to which one's more important to people.

Im not sure to understand why been out of town or not matters!?

As I said in my previous post, I'm just curious to see the breakdown, as it has long been said that OOTers don't understand the rivalry with Everton.

especially in this time i really want to beat manchester and the last game in the anfield shows why

I'd be interested to see what sort of split there is between locals & out of towners, I have a feeling I'll be in a very small minority that lives out of town but would prefer to beat Everton. Poll added.

Well, Im part of that minority then. Even though I dont know any evertonians, but some mancs, I still prefer to beat everton. As I said earlier, it would be the best option (of the two options given) in terms of securing 4th spot. To me this is a question of patience. We havent beaten ManU in the league for a long time, and it would be really nice to do so. But securing CL football next year is essential to continue the progress we are making. Both in terms of economy and in terms of attracting class players to the club. We all want to beat Utd., but if we are patient and focus on the progress of the club, instead of putting it into jepardy for just one sweet victory against them, then I am convinced that in a couple of years time we will be beat them on a regular basis. And that will be great!

This was not a question of what the outcome of the games would be. And of course we would all love to beat both Everton and ManU. But as the title of the thread says, this is a question of which game means more to you. So the question is hypothetic, if you could only choose to win one and loose the other, and you had no other choice, then which one would you prefer to win.

Man United for me any day off the week, simply for the reason that they are a good team (hate to say that, and trust me i HATE them!) Everton are just sh*t!

Matt

Can you imagine that blue shower bangin on all day if they get the result? Not good, and it could cost us 4th so beating everton would be my priority

Can you imagine banging all day if we beat Man United, then beat Everton. How sweet that would be

Im from Liverpool and i have gone for beating the Man United vote. I would obviously of clicked the one that said beat Everton and United, but there isnt one unfortunetly. So i clicked United because at my College there are aload of little gobby United fans so nice to shut them up for a while.

Beating the scum means more to me. Im "from out of town" (Trondheim, Norway hehe) and Everton is just another small club

I would rather us beat Scummy United at any given time,I hate everything about them and their fans :f_steam:They make me so mad

Beating the scum and I'm from Liverpool    Nothing sweeter than watching Ronaldo cry, it comes a close to watching John Terry cry !!  Maybe we should have a poll to see who we like watching cry the most
