and the war has already began.


EVERTON vs LIVERPOOL perhapes the most oldest and fierce rivalry in world of sports..

This time it was Blues skipper Alan Stubbs, hitting out at the Reds boss Rafael Benitez of describing Everton being a small club.
Stubbs told the Mail on Sunday.


'Of course the derby means as much to Liverpool as it does to Everton,'
'If it doesn't, they have a big old problem. If you're not really that bothered about winning against your local rivals, maybe you should be looking at yourself.
'We don't see ourselves as a small club, not at all. If they feel they are that much bigger than us, they should have been getting better results. Like winning the league.
'When you spend that much money, £40-50 million, you would expect to be closer than they have been.
'That's what Liverpool fans would say if you asked them. We beat them 3-0 - and you don't get a result like that by luck.'
'The thing about Liverpool is that I don't know if he (Benitez) has found his best team. I don't know if he has found the balance he's looking for.
'Benitez has done a good job since he arrived but a lot of Liverpool fans are getting disgruntled.
'They want to be challenging but have seen them getting draws at home to teams they think they should be beating because he has been resting players
