Anyone know if it's possible to stream games on a tablet. I know it isn't possible on an iPad without a flash browser but any ideas if it works on others guys. Thanks.
Lord Lucan

You can use iPad to stream via flash browser I use puffin, I also have streamed matches via puffin on kindle fire and to today I was out so streamed it on my galaxy 4

Xmbc, install it on android, works fine

Ha what happened to the 'Worlds best Striker' (Suarez) and those 'serious' title contenders from across the park?
They have just been beaten twice in a week by decent teams and we are 4th!

Beaten by better teams Mushy. They aren't a team at all. Just rely on Suarez and set pieces for every goal they score. We went to Utd & Arsenal in 4 days and outplayed both of them. Not only are refs biased against them but according to Brenda the footballing world is now jealous of their history. Its how he tries to condone his teams toothless performance. The mans a total joke. Most deluded man on this planet. Plus Borini & Aspas again examples of scandalous spending. Total wastes of money.

Id hold your tongues until the end of the season if I were you guys - I wouldn't want you to embarrass yourselves. I don't expect you to know much about how we've been playing, esp as you have failed to acknowledge the fact that we are without an experienced LB, Sturridge or Gerrard, and also the fact that we have only played one of the top teams at home this half of the season. I wouldn't expect you to like our team but at least be respectful and provide some intelligent banter! Anyway, blinding first half of the season for you guys, i'd like to see both our teams finish top 4, we'll see how it goes eh ;-)

Intelligent banter? Liverpool have spent an absolute fortune over the last 4 transfer windows and we are the better team who play better football with a team of more exciting players. With what they spend they must make the champs league. There is no pressure whatsoever on us to do anything. We just go about our business in a way the country respects. Show me a non red who actually respects liverpool: they don't exist. As for the wait and see, Liverpool have been chasing our rear for several years now. Sooner their fans realise that the better. And don't moan about injuries. Every team has them. that's what signings are for. But I guess it doesn't help when the big money signings you make are a load of c**p. We made 5 changes to our team. We always lose key players and just get on with it.

Great post Bennie. They don't like it up 'em Mr Mainwaring!

Liverpool have had injuries have they? Naww boohoo, we've had Pienaar, Deulofeu, Mirallas, Baines, Gibson, Kone and Jagielka out injured, so don't come looking for sympathy on this page.

Take a look at the money spent on transfers in the last 5 seasons. The RS in 6th with £304 million spent, Everton, in the same period in 19th with £63.5m. A significant difference yet we still finish above you in the last two campaigns. If we had that money I'd wager we'd have finished CL more often than not, so please quit whinging because you have some average players out. You're a one man team who'd be in mid table if it weren't for a certain South American.

Its funny how after every derby its always us nailed with a long term injury. Fellaini broken ankle, Distin had his heel ruined, Baines just had his foot broken. All thanks to tackles from that dirty team. Oh and let's no forget the delightful kicker, Andre Wisdon snapping Ross Barkleys 16 year old leg in 3 places.

I wasn't looking for sympathy or complaining, I, along with 90% of lfc supporters are very happy with how our season has gone so far. There is no shame in losing by a narrow margin to city and Chelsea in their own back yard when we are missing three key players. I was just saying you should save your words until the end of the season :-) its sure to be a close one. I have a lot of admiration for EFC, and the way they do business so no need to be narky about it, I wasn't disrespecting your team was I?

Bum now we hear Jags out for a month, we can't afford many more hamstrings going.

{Ed025's Note - nor any type of injury mate..

Alcaraz looked solid today. Was impressed. Did think he forced the defence to be a bit deeper and we looked vulnerable at times but he headed countless balls out of our box. His passing was stand out. Never any panic, set up quite a few attacks. Very composed on the ball. Decent stuff.
Colin

Alcaraz was terrific looked very composed like you say forced the line bait deep but. He hasn't played for months, I'm more worried bout mirralas I know he didn't play much but these past weeks he seems uninterested we're has all his skills and trickery gone?
Anyway 4th And Stoke new yr day who again have had a battering so confidence will be low

Coyb!

Just seen the Everton goals here on ESPN. Coleman's goal is sheer class, really difficult angle coming across from the right but great acceleration to make the space in the first place. 2nd goal - Quick one touch passing to allow RL a true centre forward finish. Brilliant. I haven't seen the match but how did Baines do on his return and without our captain on the pitch how did we conduct ourselves? Happy New Year to one and all.

{Ed025's Note - you too mate..

We were dire for most of game - but scored 2 and missed a couple of other chances - Southampton won nearly all 50:50 tackles - looked like they wanted it more and must be gutted to lose - almost every single throw in (ours and there's) ended up with them in possession - how can that happen? When they have throw in we back off and make it easy for them to throw it nicely to their man - when we have a throw in they press all our men and stick the foot in to win possession - finally Osman should just hang up his boots - he just strolls about the place and is rubbish - all of our players looked like they'd had too much Xmas pud and couldn't be bothered running - right from the first minute we had no desire or effort but somehow we got 2 goals and won the game - amazing

Jags out injured - hamstring. Alacaraz debut, Naismith in, Pienaar & Mirrallas on bench. Barkley starts. Seems a bit unbalanced to me. Why not Stones right back and push Coleman up right MF?

29 Dec 2013 14:12:28
Coleman may as well be a right midfielder. What a strike!

29 Dec 2013 12:45:27
Surely jelavic has to start, bound to be hungry even if it is only to put himself in the shop window!

Everton starting XI: Robles, Baines, Alcaraz, Distin, Coleman, McCarthy, Barkley, Oviedo, Osman (c), Naismith, Lukaku

Everton subs: Springthorpe, Hibbert, Heitinga, Jelavic, Mirallas, Pienaar, Stones
