I can see that Rafa would call us the best team in the world if we won the Champions League.  After all Europe is still the place to be for quality domestic leagues.  However, it's funny how often the winners of the South American equivalent win the game between the two.  Remember Liverpool v Flamenco for example?

I'll be watching the UEFA Cup Final next Wednesday to see who we'll play in the Super Cup next season!

My earliest memory.

Yes..................congratulations to Everton for finishing FOURTH    Yes FOURTH!! Is that IT!! There is no doubt that this 'achievement' for Everton is the equivalent for Everton as winning the league 5 years back to back for us and the Champions league 3 or 4 times within that period to boot.

Yes thats right the Blueshi.te have over-'achieved' the benchhmark they no doubt set themselves at the beginning of this season by approx 100,000%. As someone said on this forum 'every dog has its day' well Everton have had their day, let them enjoy it, because my guess is it will business as usual for the bitters next season, suffering with mid table mediocrity and the normal relegation dog fight. I think the red/better half of Merseyside, will be enjoying that even more than usual.

On that note anyone remember Ipswich gracing the higher echelons of European football, after a 'fantastic' first season back in the top flight.......................thats right scrambling with play off places to get back into the Premiership after getting relegated very shortly after their little taste of Europe......................I wonder??

Meanwhile, talking of the red/better half of Merseyside, we will be enjoying the biggest day our club has savioured for 20 years, the European Cup Final, thats right The European F*ckin Cup Final!! I cannot believe it myself. I will be enjoying that day for years to come, whatever the result, considering English teams have generally tried and failed since the last time we graced this stage (notice I have chosen to erase Manure's last minute lucky win from my memory bank )

Don't let anyone, I mean ANYONE, by that I mean Media, press (mainly) friends, family e.t.c de-value or undermine this ACHIEVEMENT, thats right European Cup Final achievement, not coming fourth 'achievement'. We have the chance to KEEP the current trophy, thats right KEEP, not the four replica's we have at Anfield, but the ACTUAL trophy. Thats right Manure had to give it back in 2000 , we win this we will NEVER have to give it back NEVER  .........................f*ckin awesome

With Rafa at the helm and some good investment in the summer, I have great hope for next season, so while we will be stepping up and pushing for the Holy Grail that is the League title, I will enjoy watching the bitters suffering with mid table mediocrity and the normal relegation dog fight we have always been used to 

Oh and by the way, yes freak results towards the end of the season aside, 7 f*ckin Nil, absolutely hilarious  No pride whatsoever

I have donned my fez and am waiting for the 25th May, like never before...........................COME ON THE REDS !!

Its yet to be seen but its the beginings of your typical, small team gets into europe, next year small team can't cope and almost gets relegated, senario 

And we need to be there to give them as much grief as possible when they are there.

I say fair play to Everton. By their standards qualifying for the CL is a fantastic achievement given they've no money and had to sell arguably their 2 best players. Hats off to them.

Appearing in the CL final though is still a bigger achievement than finishing 4th in the prem in anybody's book other than Moyes's.

Funny though how the gloss is already starting to wear off their achievement. Firstly Gollum tarnishes it by having a side-swipe against the team he and his fans are obsessed with (us). It's just pure bitterness and belittles their own achievement by showing their inferiority complex in public.

Then they go and get pummelled 7-0 by the gooners in what has to be one of the most embarrassing & humiliating premiership results for years. Pure comedy

And now it's becoming apparent that half the squad may have to go and they're all moaning about it 

It has just been the most undignified and bitter few weeks from Everton, but did we really expect any different from them? I certainly didn't.

Its a shocking fact but if the Bluesh*te lose by any margin at all at the weekend, they will finish as qualifiers for the champions league with a  ...NEGATIVE goal difference.  That's staggering.  Says alot for how in the league we were this year.  Everton are going to sh*t their pants the minute Shatface Donetsk (or some other qualifier) come up against them in August.  We, on the other hand, will be European CHAMPIONS, seeded, first ball out of the hat and all that jazz...
