Lovely football there under pressure, let down by the final touch by Willock.

Everton immediately into hoofball mode.

They are really trying to ramp up the atmosphere the mackem cunts.

Draw for me. Don't want either of them to get even a sniff of momentum.

Massive test for our midfield today, Everton have got Dacoure and Onana in there, it will be competitive.

I wonder who Owen wants to win? He's hated by both sets of fans but he's such a cunt I wouldn't be surprised if he still prefers an Everton win.

Michael Fucking Owen

It's annoying tbh, I always feel like THIS game is the most nerve inducing one possible, the BIGGEST game of the season, but it's clearly shite. They can't all be.

It does make a lot of sense to rotate when you have three games in a week. Just have to believe the lads coming in will be up to the job, and tbf, all of them were first choices in their respective positions at some point this season.

I expect Wilson will be champing at the bit, give him service and he's scoring tonight.

I would have thought Burn would start in a game where we will need big lads to combat their route one/set piece stuff mind, but not going to argue with Howe, he generally calls it right.

They seem to think that blowing blue smoke up their team's arse is going to lift them into the stratosphere. We just need to remember they are in a relegation battle because they are actually shit.

Brighton aren't Liverpool. I have never really been that worried by Brighton even when they were on a great run. They don't have the pedigree or the squad that Liverpool do. Or the refs for that matter.

Yep. We need to do this ourselves, take it out of everyone's hands.

There is one good thing about Arsenal blowing the title, it might shatter them for the next couple of seasons. Then it might just shatter them as a club and see them floundering again like they were a few seasons ago.

Man U might drop points, but I've never counted Liverpool out, they have always been capable of reeling off 7 or 8 game winning streaks, especially with the forwards they've got. Said it earlier today as well. We really need to just do the business ourselves and not rely on other teams or other refs to help us out.

Absolute fucking joke, but totally predictable.

Think there's a fair chance he'll be out going from Howe's presser. He seemed to think Bruno would be fine, but seemed more doubtful when asked about Schar.

I think Wilson will want a crack at the CL, this is probably the only chance he'll get in his career. He won't want to be playing for mid-table, lower half sides all his life.

Well this is where you learn a bit of history. Chelsea were indeed a pretty mediocre club before they were bought by the Russian mafioso. I'm not saying that makes them any less of a club now by the way, two decades is definitely enough time to make a long term mark.

Finally a technical explanation for the gargly scouse accent.

I think only Alan Pardew and Bruce could make me more ashamed of being a Newcastle fan than the Joe Kinnear era. Honestly thought that bloke was sound compared to those two. At least he was suffering from dementia.

Pretty sure Pedro was desperate to come here, whereas Ekiteke was always more keen on PSG, I think that might be a big factor now. I doubt we'd go for them both after signing Isak, in fact even signing one of them might be wishful thinking.

That's the annoying thing, pre-Abramovic, they weren't really seen as a top tier club. Big club without a doubt, but not title contenders. They were a bit of a joke under Ken Bates. But a decade at the top is a long time and they've probably imprinted themselves on the football world as one of the biggest English clubs now. Bastards.
