Save them for ballet girls.

Pulling the socks over the knees. Henry was the worst offender iirc. Looked absolutely ridiculous. Oh, and while I'm on - football boots should be black. Nothing else. Not white, red, blue, green, yellow or anything else. Just back.

He's already booked for the two home games. Oh Christ, I was being facetious. :-[

Is he going to sing before the Boro game? What about the Fulham game? Wonder if Villa would mind if he sung on the last day? Nowt against the bloke personally as it serves a purpose (to an extent) but there's only so many times you can play that card. It's in serious danger of making us look like desperate wankers (if it hasn't already).

They'll score 3 quick goals in the first half hour then take the piss. It's how many they score whilst taking the piss that scares me.

The avatar strikes back! Ah fuck. Sorry Tim.

Think Rich has nailed it tbh. Most neutrals want us to go down because it's a much bigger event than, say, Hull going down. Because of the size of our club and the interest we generate it was always going to happen. We should take it as a back-handed compliment.

Game over. I watched a relegation team tonight. A team that couldn't manage to string a few passes together or construct any footballing moves. We're a fucking shambles and we thoroughly deserve to go down because we're one of the worst teams in the league. That's the unpalatable truth and we've all got to deal with it. I never thought I'd type that lot out but the table doesn't lie. The players don't give a shit about the club and I doubt they ever did. I went tonight full of hope and optimistic but they let us down yet again. Gutless fucking wankers.

4. Thre results went for us this weekend and if we win tonight then I'd take it down to a 2. I was fully expecting the mackems to go to WBA and win and pull themselves out of it but they blew it and will struggle to win another game. Beat Portsmouth and Boro, avoid a hiding at Anfield and take a point from either Fulham or Villa and we should be fine.

Been waiting for you.

A central midfielder so bad I'm not sure if I'd play him ahead of Nolan or Butt. Surely no Premiership club will be in for him, it's off to the likes of Queen Of The South for you, laddie... The big boss at work is a huge Celtic fan and he rates Ferguson for some reason. Says he wouldn't mind him at Celtic. Seems to have a decent reputation up there at least. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Wouldn't average be 5/10? All depends I suppose... It's ok, not bad, decent. Nothing majorly wrong with it but it's nothing spectacularly nice either imo. You get my drift. As madras says, with a couple of minor changes it could have been very smart indeed.

That's absolutely average. 7/10

Giddyyuuuup.

The crowd can be the 11th man you mean? Butt will start, remember?

Looks like a Bosnian refugee.

Just had a quick check of the combined away records of Portsmouth, Boro and Fulham. Nowt flash tbh: Played 48 Won 6 Drawn 17 Lost 25 For 30 Against 68

The white triangle needs to be smaller but I'd like it if I was an Everton fan.

I'll admit I was adamant I'd never budge and settle for 17th because I thought we were better than that. It's since turned to complete shite and I'd snap someone's arm off for 17th. Please accept my sincere apologies for having a bit of faith and optimism.

Now this match is a must-win. If we lose this then we're as good as down. We have to win this one and I believe that if we do then we'll go on and beat Boro and Fulham too. These 90 minutes are the most pivotal the club has known for a generation - and I'm not exaggerating. The consequences of losing don't even bear thinking about and we need another David Kelly. Someone to score a goal from something to get us 3 points to keep us alive. We're desperate and on a knife-edge - it hinges on beating these twats again. We have to win... And we will.

Back up from a 4 to a 5 for me. Nothing's changed in as much as we had to win our home games and we still do. It's just that one of the games we had a chance of nicking a 'bonus' point from has gone.

Well done Everton. Hope they go on and win it now.

He's not as bad as is being made out in the OP but he's a very ordinary keeper and always has been imo.

Come on lads. Hit them early, hit them hard.
