In light of Warnock's new appointment, this video is absolutely magnificent:

Liverpool are League Champions.

[Josquius]

As an anti mono in such things I welcome this development.

Plus I've a soft spot for Henderson and Klopp

[Sheilbh]

It was frustrating seeing Klopp who I had liked get coated in glue and rolled through the club shop for them. Luckily I've found him quite easy to dislike him since

Obviously there is no team I wouldn't prefer winning this. According to family horns and fireworks going off around them

Edit: On the other hand, after four long years we've announced that Oumar Niasse - possibly the worst player I've ever seen for us - is leaving Everton. So swings and roundabouts

[Josquius]

I always thought the everton - Liverpool rivalry was a rather friendly one without any big geographic or cultural divides, with all the hate reserved for Manchester?

But I can imagine Liverpool isn't a great place to be right now.

There's no big geographic or cultural divide (I would say, while I'm sure many are nice, out of town Liverpool fans are kind of insufferable online). So we know each other and obviously no-one likes Manchester, but I think we both have a healthy dislike of each other. I'd rather either Manchester team win than Liverpool.

In part because we know them and because they're scousers. So they will not shut up about this. When I visit family who are Liverpool fans I'll get a cup of tea and an anecdote about Istanbul

If we could just win anything it would probably help

My condolences on today's events.

I will try to restrain myself.

Finally, after 30 years, finally...

Did they really have to take inspiration from the England song for Euro 96...

That's what every Liverpool fan will tell you. Everton fans will not (and it really irks them that L'pool's main rivalry is with Man U).

I've never liked Liverpool but this is a great team playing brilliant football and Klopp is not just a fatnastic manager but a really cool human being.

[Tamas]

Dare to think big: Orban's home village's football team (population 1800) has finished 3rd in the top Hungarian league and thus earned the right to play in the Europa League.

[Liep]

How did Barca end up with no one but Messi able to get past a man? The wings especially seem useless, they don't even have speed.

[Liep]

Okay, that Puig fellow might turn into something.

[The Larch]

The whole team is in shambles lately, and prospects don't seem good.

[Sheilbh]

I don't want to jinx this (a 2-0 scoreline still feels dangerous after the Martinez and Silva experience). But it's great looking like a side that have a plan and know how to play football. I fucking love Ancelotti

Edit: I know this should be the bare minimum. But it is really refreshing seeing an Everton manager spotting a problem and changing things to fix it. It feels like a very, very long time since that happened. Also we keep picking a very young team which makes me hopeful - if only we could get rid of some of our obscenely expensive, older, ornamental players
