Shane Long is coming on, and that means goals goals goals.

This is not Che Adams best game, let's say.

I liked it when it was 1-0.

My favourite bit is learning that the withdrawal agreement which a) Boris negotiated (you people said it couldn't be done....he proved you wrong etc etc) b) Boris built his entire election campaign around (Get Brexit Done, oven ready deal etc etc) c) The new house of commons voted through on a landslide, supported by the red wall MPs voted in during said campaign THAT withdrawal agreement is apparently Remainers shackling the country. I must have missed Dominic Grieve and Ken Clarke and Hillary Benn celebrating their triumph back then but they must have been delighted after all. Who knew. It's pretty clear whatever happens on Brexit it will always, always, always be someone else's fault. Maybe I should just be quietly delighted that my side won after all.

Even I have to admit that this is an absolute masterpiece. https://www.politico.eu/article/why-uk-britain-boris-johnson-must-ditch-the-brexit-withdrawal-agreement-deal/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

This Leicester result has far more potential to influence our next match than the Villa/Palace match ever did. United now have a real shot at getting into the top four tomorrow. Let's hope they blow it like Leicester have.

An alternative view is Burnley are 6 points clear of us with four games to go. If, as you say, we are aiming to finish above them, then we need to do a heck of a lot more than to whittle about the team in 14th winning or losing the odd game. Or, more succinctly, absolutely fucking irrelevant.

I thought we were chasing Burnley in 10th?

Come on Leicester!

I don't think you can play down the magnitude of this result on our march to tenth place. Fingers crossed the teams in 13th/14th/15th keep losing because god knows we need that so bad. So, so bad.

Come on Palace!

Gah. 102. 93 + 9 left. Sorry appalling maths on my part. Just pleased they've dropped a couple today if it makes it more difficult to break the record.

Burnley have now lost one game in thirteen, and that was to Manchester City. They're now on 50 points with 9 more points to play for, including Norwich. If that was Saints would you be forecasting that our form is about to collapse so badly that a team 6 points behind are going to overhaul us?

They're not catchable, we won't catch them.

This will stop them getting to 100 pointd so happy days. Come on Burnley.

One more win, at least one loss and at least one draw. I think we'll finish on 48 or 49 points. We were never in contention for Europe, I think 10th still feels very unlikely. I hope Ralph is aiming for 50.

Yes but this is Goodison. Let's get out with something.

Anyone winning this match is going to think they can catch Spurs: can't even beat Bournemouth as it stands.

Shane Long has come on so that means goals goals goals.

I could absolutely murder a packet of salami bites.

Calvert Lewin should have scored then.

No one would be calling that anti-football if we'd scored that.

Booooooom

One day soon Queen Sonja of Norway will die. She's 83 so it could be soon. On that sad day AOL News will put a story up, seventh on the bill just underneath the football results: "COUNTRY MOURNS AS QUEEN DIES" Les will be half through putting his fourth set of union jack bunting round his garage door before his politely bemused neighbours point out his mistake.

So you didn't think it meant the UK but assumed people even more dumb than you would. Okay. It's a shame you think so little of the people of this State.
