    A lot on his shoulders already. Without Bruno and Isak he’d the only one on the bench with the potential to make a difference.
  2. Really poor, passing sloppy. The formulaic passing patterns, especially down the right between Tripps and Miggy are being disrupted too easy.
  3. Would love to get a ticket - have put out feelers but not expecting much. Still have the shirt that I wore at the 1998 Cup Final which would get a reprise. Oddly enough it swamps me now so I can only imagine how baggy it was 25 years ago. My recollections of that day somewhat clouded by alcohol.
  4. Five three piece suites and a bed side table?

    Must have been the reference to eating bacon.

    Everton were the big losers of the PL in my opinion, they were instrumental in the formation of the PL as part of the 'Big 5' but immediately fell away as soon as is started and were immediately taken over by teams such as Keegan's NUFC and Blackburn. They've always had a chip on their shoulder and for years were flirting with relegation before Moyes had them briefly pushing for the top 4.

    No worse than Bellamy.
  8. Following a similar pattern to recent games, our final ball is rushed or lacks quality. Need someone to step up here an take a chance.
  9. Got tickets for Athletic Bilbao v Real Madrid on Sunday. Anyone been to San Mamés? Any tips, good places to go on the lash?

    Fantastic game today, my MotM. Makes defending and coming out with the ball look effortless.
  11. Not nervous about this in the slightest. We’ll win comfortably.
  12. Only silver lining is the bounce back on Tue. No way we’ll be as poor against Leicester.
  13. The Trippiers, Brunos and Joelintons wasting their time here with Wood, Murphy et al.
  14. Nothing in the Arsenal line up to be too worried about IMO. They are playing well but so are we. They’ll be worried about us on the counter. Let’s hope we turn up and cause them some big problems.
  15. Disappointing but we would have took a draw at Leicester and a home win today. Can’t win them all.
  16. True I suppose, I remember them going down and how they were bragging about coming straight back up. In the end it took them about 15/16 seasons. They’ve had their punishment. Same goes for the Mackems - they can stew in champo fit another 4 or 5 years.
  17. Don't get this Leeds love in at all - awful club with even worse fans. Maybe it's some younger fans who can't remember them following their extended sojourn outside the PL? Best place for them is in the lower leagues, the lower the better.
  18. Absolute personality vacuum. Painful to watch.
  19. Watching Burn try to head a ball is like watching a kid heading a ballon.

    We’ve took the piss out of Everton for spending 500m and yes their recruitment has been suspect but it shows how difficult it is.

    Potentially yes, he was bought with that profile. Jury still out for me.
