If they don't beat Southampton at Goodison next weekend then aye.

Involved tomorrow.

Canny game this actually. Thought it was going to be wank.

Good effort from Gray.

Everyone likes a bit of schadenfreude but fucking hell are Everton an absolute mess. The whole club from top to bottom. Only positive thing about the whole thing atm is their new stadium, but won't it financially fuck them if they get relegated? We've seen how Spurs' ground hampered them financially for a bit, how screwed will Everton be if they're in the Championship lumbered with cost of that as well as players on inflated wages who they paid inflated fees for? Bloody hell.

Matterface

Need a midfielder, full back and still a player who can play across the front 3. Think we'll only get 1 of those, 2 at an absolute push this window.

It wouldn't be anywhere near as embarrassing as Cambridge was, but going out to League One opposition as a PL club should never be acceptable imo.

Want to be getting through this, if we beat Leicester on Tuesday we'll have a hectic schedule coming up and we don't want a replay against these amongst that.

That's from the back end of last season. Still love that he wanted Bruce fucked off well before he was.

That Sky had him on a couple of those live fan Overlap things was just outrageous. You just can't reason with him and anything that isn't completely pro Arsenal is wrong to him. The other Arsenal fans present, Robbie and some lass I think, were visibly cringing. Especially the lass.

Just summed up AFTV completely there. Robbie's sound but the vast majority of the rest of them that have been on there over the years have been either bell ends or people with serious issues. That Ty is just a total wanker that should never be given a platform, the way he goes on makes you feel you'd never get tired of smashing his face in.

Programme notes surely aren't actually written by managers and captains, are they?

True, but Mitrovic is suspended for that game. Could've done with him being suspended for our game. Aye, probably. Have to be picking up the points in our next 4 ahead of when Liverpool come up here. The potential volume of games this month could be a problem; Sheff Wed, Leicester, Fulham, Palace, potential LC semi 1st leg, potential FA Cup 4th round game, potential LC semi 2nd leg, West Ham. God forbid Sheff Wed take us to a replay.

Keep forgetting that we still have to play West Ham twice and Chelsea have to play Liverpool twice.

It's already our longest ever unbeaten PL run in a single season, but over two seasons it's 14 (last few games of 2010-11 and then the unbeaten start to 2011-12). Longest run ever full stop is 17 in 2009-10 but that was in the Championship. The Fulham game will be tough, but we should be looking to break that given our next 4.

Big month and a bit coming up for this. Hope we can get an addition or two in in the window with cup matches coming up, hope Sheff Wed don't take us to a replay. Especially if we get past Leicester and have a two legged midweek semi final in the League Cup. Fixtures for the clubs around us up to the end of February, not including Arsenal or Man City as they're shoe-ins. Newcastle Fulham (h) Palace (a) West Ham (h) Bournemouth (a) Liverpool (h) Brighton (h) Man Utd Man City (h) Arsenal (a) Palace (h) Leeds (a) Leicester (h) Brentford (h) Liverpool Brighton (a) Chelsea (h) Wolves (a) Everton (h) Newcastle (a) Palace (a) Spurs Arsenal (h) Man City (a) Fulham (a) Man City (h) Leicester (a) West Ham (h) Chelsea (h) Chelsea Man City (h) Fulham (a) Palace (h) Liverpool (a) Fulham (h) West Ham (a) Southampton (h) Spurs (a) Need to take advantage of our next 4 games as many of those around us are playing the top 2 in that time and later on in February they all play each other. Absolutely massive that we have those clubs at SJP in the run in sans Chelsea.

0-2 Spurs. Ugh.

I think they were thinking of getting rid of him after we lost 0-3 at home to Leicester and 5-1 away at Palace, the performances in both games were absolutely embarrassing but McClaren then beat Liverpool at home who'd had a big bounce after appointing Klopp and Spurs away who'd only lost once all season prior. Then we reverted to normality, dropped points at SJP to a woeful Villa and won only 2 more games before he got sacked. Where the club messed up with McClaren though was not sacking him after getting hammered 5-1 away at a midtable Chelsea. We had 2 and a half weeks before our next 2 league games, Stoke (a) and Bournemouth (h) within 3 days of each other but they gave him that break and we lost both games abysmally. Then they sacked him. Had Benitez come in in that break we may well have got ~4 points from those games which would've kept us up. Or given us some momentum and time under his coaching methods in time for the games against the mackems and Norwich.
