It would have to be back to back years IMO. If truth be told i don't think Everton genuinely believe they are better than Liverpool but I still fancy them to finish above you though. Slate me all you like but I'm here to state the facts and the facts are that despite having beaten them 3 times this season and outspent them significantly, they are still above you.

Being one point above us does not constitute a shift in the balance of power between the two teams. They would need to finish above us consistently for a few years and start collecting more trophies than we are before any serious claim could be made. This is just more meaningless journalese.
2 years in a row would suffice in my view. When we won back to back titles 04-06 it was widely acceptable the balance of power in London had shifted.
Well, if you win the title in consecutive seasons that's a fairly significant achievement, but just ending up a bit higher in the positions we're in at the moment doesn't mean much outside of the context of local rivalry imo. We might just be getting bogged down in semantics, but a power-shift is a much bigger deal than a temporary ascendancy. I'll stick with my original comment, I think it's just hacks trying to justify their pay packets again. Cheers for your comments on the minute's silence today, btw- and congratulations on the win.
Tottenham and Arsenal too? Anyhow, another thing that set me wondering about the unaminously disappointed, anti-Liverpool press today, They're all siiting round like old crone knitting around the guilletines waiting for the tumbrills to deliver Kenny for execution, primarily stoking up the 'fact' that Kenny has 'wasted' £115m of their 'investment'. I do hope FSG are not behind this; while it IS true that £115m has been spent (wisely or not) only £35m has been net spend, and we still don't know whther they've actually borrowed that and put the debt on the club anyway. And, don't forget, they've dobe f-all yet about the stadium situation, despite getting a consevatively valued £500m club (by Forbes amongst others) for £300m. i tell you people, given their craven climbdown over the Suarez business (what on EARTH did black baseball players in the 30's have to do with anFAlooking for a convenient head-on-a-stick as they couldn't touch sub-judicea John Terry?) I'm NOT impressed with these cowboys any more than the previous carpetbaggers.
