How good does it feel making comments like this?

Please Everton equalise

Howe likes to tell a few fibs in pressers.

File Coutinho under James Rodriguez. Great moments but ultimately doesn't give them much else.

Villa will be instantly better now that Buendia is on the pitch.

We should hear more today with the NUFC press pack all mingling together.

Luca Digne getting rinsed.

We won't be signing this lad to play on the wing. He's Wilsons understudy. Reckon we are looking at a loan for RW.

Ings has similar instincts to Wilson.

And there is the literally difference between the two sides. One decent striker.

It's in homage to that daft little tower thing they have in Liverpool.

Clever from Holgate.

On a serious note, subs will be key today. Timing them right and exploiting tiredness in Brighton. Murphy, who I don't rate, give them a torrid time at SJP last year with his pace. Will be useful in the final 20.

On the other hand, Willocks legs from the start might be beneficial

That's a naughty tackle from Gordon.

I don't know why but seeing Tarkowski and Coady playing together must give Everton hope that they aren't going to be walk overs. From a leadership point of view those two will weed out any bad eggs in the dressing room and give them a decent team spirit. Not sure where the goals are coming from though.

You laugh but Gerrard is wearing a shirt and tie in 30 degree heat in the year 2022. Do any other managers where shirts and ties anymore? PFM classic

Tell me someone remembers this advert. Reminds me of Brighton.

Morning guys. Football today. Buzzing.

You could go into any thread on this forum and start writing negative things, watch: Pope: No better than Dubravka Wilson: Crock Eddie Howe: Unproven at the top level Ramos: Won't happen, he's shit anyway Plane Spotting: Bunch of nerdy virgins with nowt better to do You see, it's dead easy and the bottom one is only partially true

It's some weird form of virtual signalling. What they do is predict an impending doom or worst case scenario, so that they can come back and say "I told you so", if it happens. They rarely celebrate any sort of success, in fact, when there is success they say things like "it will be harder next year". It's this false idea that the most negative person in a room is the "realist" or just "calling a spade a spade", trying to play the role of the cautious wise owl. In reality they just get a real kick from pissing on peoples chips or casting a shadow over people's positivity. This is football, half the fucking league is fantasising on when it might be "their turn". For once it might actually be ours, so for once can we assume the club is doing the right thing and that the future is bright instead of pouring cold water over peoples hopes and dreams. I don't care if the pessimism turns out to be true. Just let me bathe in this fantasy of lies just a wee while longer because it feels so glorious.

Loan rules always fuck with my head.

Can only have 2 but admire the passion.

It depends James, do you mean little green men that have visited this planet? Or do you mean some sort of life on some distant planet? The former is batshit and the latter, the science is very much still open to debate. Some say, as suggested, that statistically there has to be life on another planet but I was watching something with Brian Cox who said its possible that we were a complete fluke. Mind you, having read some opinions on here, the former might not be so batshit.

However will our beautiful Brazilians cope with the heat?.... oh aye they will love it and smash Brightons midfield.
