So what's the rivalry like between Liverpool and Everton? I know Everton hasn't won at Anfield in awhle but are these guys kind of neutral towards each other or is it gonna be tense?
Tense as they come. Expect a red card.

Everton fans are often known as the "bitters" because of their attitude to Liverpool. Also, they release DVDs to commemorate victories over Liverpool.

Heurelho Gomes has today (Tuesday, March 13) undergone surgery on his left knee after a scan revealed a tear of his medial meniscus.

Following consultation with a specialist, it is expected that the Brazil goalkeeper will return to training in four weeks.

*tumbleweed*

I still love you Gomes

Oh god:

Poll: Rosicky or Modric - Who is the better player?

You did the ending wrong.

Did you like the final boss? Personally I thought it was cringeworthy.

Yeah, it sucked a bit, but the whole space epic saga thing I love so I can overlook this minor detail.

Everyone else survived! I don't know how he died, or why. Damn, I should have kept him with me at all times.

I agree.
giant terminator reaper HAHAHAHA

ME1 was such a better game!

i beat ME2 last night, dc89.
only Zaeed died for me :)

ME1 is a brilliant, brilliant game. It's the only time I have actually overlooked bad technical problems. It's just that good.

I don't even know who that guy is! o_O

complete his loyalty mission? I always send him back to the ship when the final mission comes around. He always survives

I thought the same with The Witcher. Played it just before Witcher 2 came out and loved it.

Gonna have to pick up ME1. Keep getting mixed opinions on whether to just skip it and start on ME2

Nearly everyone died for me, they were all expendable anyway

Could never get into the first witcher. Witcher 2 however... So good.

Don't skip ME1, it's far better than 2. If anything you can afford to skip 2, the main plot is wafer-thin and most of the squadmates are peripheral in ME3.

So what does Bayern-GAF think of tonight's match?

I really have no idea how to rate Bayern at the moment. They were rather shit in the last few matches. And that 7-1, well, it's like winning 10-0 against some 5th division club, doesn't tell anything at all. Or maybe it really gave them a bit of a confidence boost, can't say. I have a feeling that Basel will make it through, though.

We're playing at the Allianz Arena. We're going to win.

Well no shit. The underdogs always release DVDs commemorating their victories against the giants.

News at 11.
They were so outraged when Rafa called them a small club, their directors and chairman released statement condemning him. Both that and the DVDs are petty.

Eer, no one should skip a Mass Effect game. The trilogy is available, just play the whole damn thing.

I don't know whether I'll get to playing 2 and 3. Reading about the changes between 1 and 2 has made me hold off on continuing the series.

It sucks to hear, but it's true. Everton aren't big.

I can see why Everton are "bitter" though. If your local rivals were kings of England (many moons ago) you'd be envious/jealous/bitter too :p

Their defense is under a lot of pressure to perform today. If they can play the way they played this weekend, then I have no doubt that they'll win -- especially at home. Having said that, anything can happen with this team. They can look god-tier one day and scrub-tier the next.

Sounds like the midfield is going to be neville felli cahill. Neville over Osman seems like the wrong choice as Liverpool's midfield is mediocre at best without Lucas and Gerrard.

ME2 is still a good game in my eyes. But a bit different to 1 in a few ways.

@Oxx - yeah it's on Sky Sports 1. I think.
 
Rafa calling Everton a small club was poor form. Managers shouldn't disregard other clubs in that way. Ferguson did the same when he labelled City the "noisy neighbours". All a bit of fun, but classless. Poking fun should be done in a wittier way, I think Shankly or Paisley came out with that classic line about closing the curtains on Everton, at least that's funny. Just calling them a small club is...cheap.

Anyways, it's funny Liverpool fans call Everton "the bitters" when the United game is their cup final. Bitter and bitterer. Big BOO for Liverpool!

Would you consider Newcastle a "big club"?

Is Liverpool/Everton on UK TV, or is the Champions League taking over?

It's on Sky.

And seeing as FootballEffect is back and going through the same silly 'skip 1! No, skip 2!' bollocks... ME 3 > ME 2 >> ME1. But don't skip any of them. That's just stupid.

Back in the Keegan/Sir Bobby Robson times absolutely. Now? Not really.
 
I've never understood the criticism of Liverpool for anticipating the ManUtd matches more than any other, when the same anticipation is shown amongst the Man Utd fans. Its not like we consider a season successful as long as we beat them. And before anyone says 'oh, but you play better against them than you do against the other teams in the league,' the same is true for all of the bigger clubs we play against.

And Newcastle are a big club, everyone in the football league is tbh, just not as big as the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal. Didn't Rafa call Everton a smaller club btw, rather than a small club? If he did, its was still a silly thing to say, but pretty much true by all reasonable measures :p

Just passing Warrington, might need to grab a burger at lime street, I'm fucking starving. Properly nervous for this one, really can't handle the idea of Everton beating us, let alone leaping us in the table.

You won't miss anything,
his character is just replaced with some new one, pretty sure the exact same stuff happens

thats not the same

having a clone instead of mordin wouldve taken away alot from that whole storyline with the genophase in 3. especially *that* last scene
