Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

-Calvin Coolidge

I think it’s time for a slaughter. NEverton’s defence has been leakier than the SS Minnow since the season started and our strikers are due to for a real massacre. We did the double over them last season and I have no reason to believe that we won’t do it all over again. Rafa is a crafty little bastard and relishes occasions like this. This is one of the most hotly contested derbies in the world and I highly doubt it’s going to disappoint.

Torres only has one goal. Keane still hasn’t scored. Kuyt dosen’t even know what the net looks like let alone how to hit it. It’s time to turn up the heat in a big, big way. Forget all that. Everything goes out the window on derby day and even the lowliest peon can be a hero. Both Moyes & Rafa are saying that Gerrard is the key. What a perfect occasion to score your 100^th club goal. We know Stevie is going be out there and this is who else I think is going to make that starting line up:

Reina

Dossena

Agger

Arbeloa

Carragher

Gerrard

Babel

Mascherano

Keane

Torres

Kuyt

I try not to watch shitty teams (unless we’re playing them) so I can proudly admit that I have yet to see the BlueShite play this season. The third best team on Merseyside is so far winless at home this year and here’s to hoping they don’t improve on that record tomorrow. They must be sick and tired of being second rate at this point.

In other news, WHAT THE FUCK?
