Re: Football

That was Liverpool, though. I like Crystal Palace, and from what I’ve seen of them so far this season, the signs look good. You have a legend in Patrick Viera, your new manager, and the new forward, Odsonne Edouard, looks sharp. Plus you managed to keep Wilf Zaha. The biggest problem for Palace over...

Re: Football

Wow. Just seen the highlights of the Everton vs Burnley game on YouTube. Andros Townsend’s glorious strike is a serious contender for goal of the month.

Re: Football

LOL, Pete! :lol: Another great result for Everton, eh, Pete? I wonder how those fans who objected to his appointment feel about Rafa now. I do think that bringing Demarai Gray (£1.7 million) and Andros Townsend (free transfer) to Everton might just be the best bit of business transacted in the last ...

Re: Football

It would be a disappointment for Burnley if we can't beat sides like Everton, just as much as it's a disappointment for Everton if they can't beat sides like Burnley. We have pretty similar records over the last few seasons, though of course we have been in Europe more recently than you. :wink: :) ...

Re: Football

He lives at the top of our road. He was saying how much he loves living in the area, and the next thing he was burgled! :cry: I know! What is it with people burgling the houses of Everton players and staff members? Our reserve goalkeeper, Robin Olsen, was also burgled recently. In fact, I think he ...

Re: Football

Oops! Humble apologies Matt. :oops: :oops: Ha, I was only kidding. :lol: A bad result for Everton yesterday against Aston Villa. After such a terrific start to the season, for some reason Everton have completely stalled. We are drifting further away from a chance at European football, and despite a...

Re: Football

I hereby submit my application for membership of the Losers' Club on the grounds of Liverpool suffering FOUR home defeats in a row. I am seriously thinking of deleting the Liverpool app on my smartphone, as it keeps sending me BAD NEWS. Incidentally, I think Boodi’s application to join the Losers’ ...

Re: Football

I know Liverpool are a better team than Everton, but I was pleased to see the Blues win against them for a change! They weren't a better team than Everton last night, Pete. I was thinking exactly the same thing! We outplayed Liverpool on Saturday. We made chances, and we took two of them. Richarlis...

Re: Football

I showed my wife the highlights. Her mouth was opening and closing in disbelief at what she saw. She said " Are you sure that's Everton we are watching?" :shock: :D Haha! Family and friends were similarly shocked by the result and the actual performance, going ahead time after time agains...

Re: Football

Phew. I have just about recovered. Pete, how about you? At one point, I went out of the room for a few minutes when we were 0-1 down. When I came back, we were 3-1 up! Then I had to endure what felt like hours and hours of alternating joy and despair as we pulled ahead, then were pulled back. One To...

Re: Football

and a cheeky point for Everton with the last kick of the match pretty much! Good spirit to come back twice. Pete you must be pleased with that. Solskjaer had the cheek to complain about the amount of time added by the referee at the end of the game! How often have Man Utd benefited from overly gene...

Re: Football

If Everton could just get over 40 points I can relax - they cannot be relegated then surely??? If anyone could pull off that amazing feat, Pete—grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory—then it is Everton! :lol: But no, I am hopeful about us Toffees this season. Ancelotti is building a great side. I...
