Rovers champions, and Cork are back in the Graveyard.

Ancelotti a genius, always has been, but an oul injury or 2 will confine Everton to top 6 unfortunately. I'd love to see them go on a run Leicester style though. Be like being a young lad and watching Graeme Sharp, Neville Southall, Kevin Sheedy and the boys. They were class back then and the Liverpool rivalry was something to watch.

Being an Everton fan at school was painful, the Wally Smith era with his legion of pensioners, has-beens and never weres. Only when Moyes came in we came out of the doldrums.

Only for that senile auld bastard Colina Everton would have been in the champions league group stage in 2005 too.

I tell ya a win this afternoon and I might start to believe.  But as Pete says, it's a squad vulnerable to injury, and you take out Calvert-Lewin, Digne or two midfielders and things will look decidedly less rosy.

It's good to see Everton doing well I have to admit. City still aren't at the races which is even better to see.

Watched the Chelsea match earlier and the beauty of watching it with actual fans in the stadium can't be underestimated. Made me feel a bit sad, but the 4 nil softened the pain somewhat

Lennon has to be on extremely thin ice. Shocking performance against a weakened Prague. The defending, if you can call it that, was very poor. Idiotic to go gung ho like that with two artics for centre backs.

Wonder what the summer skills school manager was thinking, sticking McCarey in goals tonight?

[Emphyrio]

Everton are shite again after all.

The top of the table celebration champagne must've went to their heads (and legs) a few weeks ago. 

[Caomhaoin]

Everton are shite again after all.

Fuck sake. Celtic shite, Everton pish again, Ireland out of the running, Liverpool dishing out slaps, the prods one game away from laughing at us again. Kilkenny almost had a 16 point lead clawed back by a rotten Dublin team last weekend. I thought I'd at least get Trump, but no, I have the preponderant fisher king with the philosophy degree from Hollywood Upstairs Radical Univeristé to rub my beautiful nose in it and explain my white fragility to me.

Sound.

That Delaney documentary. Cunt needs to be in jail.

Hopefully this will provide some entertainment for the evening. Probably total shite and a 2 nil for England but you'd never know they might be well up for this. Lack of a crowd will probably dampen it a bit either way

Lol I can really hear how badly the players know the national anthems with no crowd

[Kurt Cocaine]

Even Hopeless Harry Maguire scored against us. You're some dreamer boyo.
You've got the 2-0 scoreline right so far through astfygl pal...

[astfgyl]

60 minutes gone, not a shot taken and nothing resembling a cross put into the box either. No pressure on the ball, England players walking around in possession. Safe to say this one is over..

[Pedrito]

Remember the venom a game against England used to inspire..god be with the days!
