I watched the Everton v Chelsea game on Sky yesterday and the commentator mentioned on 2 occasions that Everton last recorded a win against a top six club was when they beat us 4-0. I think that was in Peps 1st year in charge

More than twice I think. The problem is everyone of us know it is coming now, first chance they get, even if we are not playing. They have done their job of brainwashing thick Joe public though. Everyone hates us, unfortunately for the dippers and rags, people still hate them more.
 
Every possible effort to downplay us still being involved in every competition is being made right now. From discussing our easier draws to VAR not being used on Saturday.

Nothing about Liverpool bailing out of both cups at the first opportunity because their squad couldn't manage it.

The narrative when we blow one will be predictable
 
The whole agenda is quickly shifting to how easy we have had it. They should be congratulating Pep and the players for taking every competition seriously and giving all opponents the level of respect they deserve. Maybe if other teams had done that then they would be in a better position this season. Jealously really is an ugly trait.

Yesterday morning was a classic.

"If you don't want to know the F1 result, turn off the sound go out the room etc". It's a pity the graphics department had stuck up a huge picture of Valtteri Bottas holding the trophy on the podium before she said that.

Really is amateur hour at that place.

You can't deny we had an easier LC run than Chelsea and FA Cup run than the rags, but at the end of the day you can only beat what's in front of you and we did beat Chelsea and we'll either have to beat Wolves (who beat the rags) or the team that beats them to win the FA Cup. Also, plenty of teams have won the domestic cups with easy runs to the semis or final, nobody really cares once the trophies are handed out.

Remember my stepfather used to have a theory that we always played shite when we were on TV (Pearce and Beany days) I preferred my theory that we were always shite but he was too pissed to notice when we went over to a live game.

Remember being at the first Monday Night game live on Sky - Home v QPR, 1-1.

I swore from that moment I would never buy a Sky subscription.

Yes totally agree. I find it particularly funny that this is coming from Liverpool fans mostly and they got knocked out of the cup to wolves and chelsea and in both those games they played hugely weakened sides. Its like complaining you never win the lottery but don't put a ticket on.

They should be delighted really as if we'd been knocked out early of both cups the title race could well be over and the fixture pile up is their best chance of overtaking us in the run in. The reason they're whining is that they've done everything to focus on the league, had tonnes of luck, they're still behind if we win our game in hand and they know it shows the clear difference in quality between both clubs so they're trying to downplay it.

Although on that kind of thing, nothing will ever beat ITV about 35 years ago showing the Bruno/Witherspoon fight that had taken place in the early hours with the legendary introduction "And now how Frank Bruno lost his world title fight this morning, in full".

Put Talksport on in the car. They said we should replay the Swansea game because it was only right and proper they get another chance!

If you win a final you've beaten every single team in the competition by default. You've also likely played a team that's beat another of the top 4 and so on. You could give Leeds a run in of all teams beneath them but they'd still have to beat us in the final.

Many, many moons ago Piccadilly 261 (on the medium wave) ran a Guess the Star competition

Obviously you were given clues as to the star's identity and having racked your brains had to send the answer on a postcard, (or stuck down envelope) to the usual address - the Wood, the Wireless, the World, or whatever

When giving out the postal address, however, the (presumably soon to be sacked) DJ advised eager players to send their entries to The Lulu Competition, Piccadilly Radio........

We could win the quad and the narrative would quickly be we're not that good until we do it again.
