I was on works hospitality and loads (including me!) went from there too!

is this on the radio?

weird atmosphere all round! Mixed emotions on seeing Torres and Suarez - very much what could have been if he'd stayed! I'm glad Torres got a decent reception and also enjoyed the Terry booing! Pepe and Kuyt's half time bit was cracking too - first time ever i've enjoyed the half time "entertainment"!!

really don't get the Terry thing -his reception will be interesting!

Did he actually play advantage? Looked like he just wasn't going to give foul and it just worked out for us despite him!

It is the end of an era and he has epitomised our club for years but age was always going to catch up with him. He obviously wants to keep playing but can't maintain the incredibly high standards he has set for himself in the past. It is a great opportunity for him to do something different in a less taxing league, earn even more of a fortune and escape the pressure of being expected to carry the club on his shoulders. I'm sure he will be back and he will be even better for the experience. Why the club weren't prepared for this day and haven't bedded in a replacement is a different question?

Suarez Gerrard Henderson

High tempo aggressive stoke team got us all over the place so let's bring on ....... Joe Cole . Oh dear.

We just look so fragile. Our players are again playing as a team worse than the sum of their parts.

was Chem there to witness it?

Thought I read somewhere that Rafa was looking at Suarez and asked Kenny to have a look at him when he brought Dalglish back to the club. Could be twitter/Internet rubbish tho!

We showed when Torres went that big chunks of money are not worth it! All that happens is everyone else's price goes up and you replace world class player with over priced dross. We need to find money to reinforce to build with Suarez not be tempted to start selling better players.

that could actually work - though you are still subject to interpretation of the panel and you know Luis is held to different standards than the rest of Football! Young, Bale, Rooney etc are just fouled cost they are so quick and get caught where as evil Luis (who bites off baby's heads and trips up old ladies) deliberately chooses to dive in a shameful betrayal of football.

i almost choked on my tea at the Johnson comment! Typical to demonise Suarez but his own English player was just misunderstood. You can see it already as the Everton players take turns to go through Suarez & Sterling and the referee grins and waves it all away whilst Luis gets more and more frustrated. Would be nice to see Marriner decide in his head that he is going to referee the game on the day as it is played rather than as Moyes dictates in the media. Gerrard needs to be at the ref from the start, if he can't do that as captain someone else needs to.

really positive display with some lovely movement. Assaidi & Sahin looked great and none of the kids let us down. Is going to be a fun season!!
