How’s this for trivia; if we win and Burnley lose, we will finish closer (by GD) to 7th than we did in 8th last year.

Boufal, Carrillo, Davis, Forster and Long can move on IMO. I think there is still something in Tadic and Gabbi worth keeping. Need a striker, AM, RB and GK

Lundekvam, Griffit, Chaplow, Channon and of course Le Tiss.

Nothing against either of them TBH and certainly don’t feel like gloating, given we know their pain all too well. Hughes was sacked their for a reason and I’m sure Stoke know their own team a lot better than we do. It’s like all the Leicester fans saying ‘serves you right for sacking Puel’. Well, they look pretty comfortable in 9th, they should be pretty happy with him, right? Good luck to both of them next season (assuming we don’t fall for that 10 goal swing on Sunday).

I think Reed's ego can live without being called that, TBH.

Not to mention Everton twice when they were managed by Unsworth or had nothing to play for. Spurs were without Eriksson when they came to St Mary’s. United, Arsenal and Chelsea were all well below standard in both games against us. For the Watford goal we deserve no sympathy. We were 2-0 and should have had it in the bag easily but threw it away. We sat back, invited pressure, let them score, didn’t pose a threat ourselves and at the end didn’t stop the cross coming and left Doucouré very badly marked. The fact that the final touch game off his hand is just a very small factor in a game we should have won comfortably.

More like.... Snatch a last minute equaliser at Swansea. Everyone goes nuts but we know deep down it probably wont be enough. Last day we take an early lead and everyone gets their hopes up but City soon equalise. Despite this, we're still safe until the hour mark, when City take a 2-1 and almost simultaneously Swansea and West Brom take the lead. Swansea then let it slip and go 2-1 down with 10 minutes left whilst West Brom win comfortably and miraculously stay up on GD.

Never never got that obsession either. Yes I'm sure it must have hurt to lose a semi-final right at the death but to still be going on about it 3 decades later is a bit sad and weird.

They were locked in a battle with their bitter rivals for the final Champions League place. I'd say that's about as much as Everton have had to play for in over 30 years.

[video=youtube;iXJYBM-9Lrc] Wasn't there but remember listening to the commentary on 5 live, driving through Northern Belgium.

Good news, I've got Tosun in my fantasy team as captain and sacrificed 4 points to get Mawson in too, so they're both going to have a stinker this game week.

It was nuts to appoint him in the first place, well out of his depth.

I have no idea what that is referring to.

So is Pompey. Its not enough to make any difference and I’d be surprised if there’s even a flight from Riyadh to Japan.

I'm assuming you didn't do geography at school?

Me too. Phone went off in the Northam today, though it might have been a goal alert and there was a 30 second delay on the game I was watching. 21st Century world of streaming I guess.

If there’s anywhere we’re due a win it’s Goodison. Sadly Everton have picked up a bit recently.

Just too add, Hojbjerg’s tackle in injury time to earn a booking, absolutely brilliant Reminded me of Massing’s tackle on Cannigia.

I think you may have missed the point of my post. Anyway, it’s hardly surprising Leicester played like that today. Don’t forget they sold Vardy and Mahrez in summer and have had a European campaign and a cup final to deal with.

2012 - Centre half scores 8th of the season. 2018 - Long, Gabbi and Carrillo - 6 goals combined.

NK's economy has never been functional to begin with. Perhaps the Chinese are putting pressure on (either financially or politically) to stop being such a bunch of nutters. Trump, loathsome though he is, does have a knack for schmoozing and pulling off a business deal. Perhaps he rubbed up Xi just the right way to get what he wanted in NK. Whatever the reason, I doubt life for the average North Korean will be improving any time soon.

Probably because they'd be getting a similar amount of money much quicker, although probably not up front. I would also be happy with the criteria you mentioned, plus seeing at least some of that money being pumped back into grass roots.

I could never understand how Prutton got a longer ban for pushing the ref (the kind of push that wouldn’t get a booking if it was against another player) than Barton got for his rampage against Man City (8 on top of his original 4) or Roy Keane got for a premeditated assault when he deliberately tried to end someone’s career. A 3 match ban would have sufficed for that Arsenal incident. As for the miss at West Brom, Shane Long has made a career out of that and gets regular praise for ‘always giving 100%’ even though the onus is far more on him to score goals than Prutton.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that public statements saying, "we are behind the manager 100%," are always entirely sincere and backed by every member of the squad. Just like when players say they love the club and won’t be going anywhere, or when chairmen say a player won’t be sold in summer.

I've watched enough Hentai to figure out the gist of it.
