Dearest friends
Traditionally, the Merseyside derby was referred to as The friendly derby because of the large number of families with both Liverpool and Everton supporters and it was one of the few local derbies that did not enforce total fan segregation.
Since the mid-1980s, however, the rivalry has intensified on and off the field, and since the inception of the Premier League, the Merseyside derby has had more red cards than any other game.
It has been referred to as "The most ill-disciplined and explosive fixture in the Premier League".
Out of 226 matches played between the two teams before yesterday,Liverpool won 89 and Everton 66.
Charismatic England goalkeeper Neville Southall of Everton holds the record for most derby appearances while Ian Rush of Liverpool holds the mark for the most derby goals with 25 times putting the ball inside Everton's net.
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and former Everton captain Phil Neville have both seen red twice in derby games....
Phil Neville...hmmm...An ex-Man United man :)
Mane na Mane...yesterday turned to be the 90th victory of the team in Red in the Merseyside derby..
A well deserved victory.
Have a great day.
