Shine gone off the Everton look the real deal Ancellotti is a world class manager they could go all the way style comments del Twitter.😂

I kinda get that, I was having a little joke. Should've put a winky emoticon on it I guess. Anyway UTS!!!!

Riiiigggghtt, well that's not so reassuring then.

Was he driving himself? If so that is a good sign.

I think it might be the injuries that are curtailing the euphoria. I would be euphoric if we'd been 4 nil up away and then won 4-3 having conceded 2 late goals had not 3 important (one absolutely essential and irreplaceable) players sustained injuries.

Well it was heavily influenced by the injuries - which will be far more than irritating if serious - and AV did deserve credit for stepping it up.

Great game will be utterly ruined if Ings' injury is serious. Would be saying that if we'd won 6-0. Credit to Villa they came back very well, 10 more minutes we may well have lost after looking utterly imperious first half and still comfortable 2nd pre injuries (noted McCarthy made some very good saves).

Wow. Just fucking WOW. (apologies if you read some industrial language just then)

no mate, if challenges like that are reds then the game has..................like...............................gone.

Alan Smith

And not forgetting Redmond who was - utterly bizarrely - singled out by Alan Smith as MOTM. Anyway, whatever, excellent display, completely in control happy days.

He was. When he gets a few games behind him he looks so composed.

Niiiice. Noticeable how strong we looked towards the end. Could've won it.

The return of the bad gateway. Hopefully temporary but a shame for this to return after a few virus free weeks.

Right, having revisited the kit thread, (re)looked at the official website, and considered the photos of our new signing it would seem that replica kit with the Sportsbet sponsor logo and UA manufacturer logo does not exist, replica kit with the redundant LD sponsor logo and UA manufacturer logo does exist but regardless we will be playing in actual kit with Sportsbet sponsor logo and UA manufacturer logo. Perhaps my original question should have been why has the UA manufacturer logo been dropped from the replica kit with the Sportsbet sponsor logo? Anyway let’s hope this Diallo fellah is good whatever kit he turns out in.

Ah must be my imagination then that I read we have dropped them and pre-order kits on the official website have no UA (or any) logo.

Why is he in UA kit?

Please god no. The modern day equivalent of signing Stuart Ripley.

Get in SUPERB finish

Well if he wanted European Football he sure as duck ain’t getting it with us so I guess a few early guaranteed games before getting knocked out looked quite appealing in that sense.

I may be misreading the above and will happily admit to never having heard of this Diallo fella but doesn't this all indicate that he's a crock of shite?

Not getting why you would hope he would walk. I certainly wouldn’t blame him if he did, might even expect him to but he’s the best aspect of the whole club right now.

Yeah well said. It’s a FUCKING SHAMBLES.

We won, it's all that matters ultimately. However, it was against a poor team made particularly weak by 4 or 5 injuries to key players. It strikes me that if we have a similar injury issue this season we will be well and truly fucked.

Didn’t wear gloves back then. Do now. More mistakes now. Send McCarthy out gloveless.
