Are you a middle aged Geography teacher? Hip man.

All those extra cruise passengers are going to be gutted if they can't get tickets when they want them.

The row I sit in was mostly empty and has been all season. Do I smell?

Time to go to the pub and celebrate. See ya.

Think Roy may play Welbeck instead of Sterling but otherwise this will be the team. Not the one I'd pick but not far off.

Not with Hart, Cahill and Jagielka we wouldn't.

Whoever sits (Gerrard for me) we are still going to be frail at the back. I think we have some good options going forward but with our defence, and the group we are in? I'm not hopeful of going very far in this tournament.

It's a tough one and I would like to say Shaw. I just think Cole's experience and reliability swings it for me. Otherwise my picks would be quite a young side: Something like: Hart Clyne Cahill Jagielka Cole Henderson Gerrard Ox Lallana Rooney Sturridge Put Shaw in that back four aswell and it makes me go more than it does already.

Cole.

Agree.

Roy obviously likes Baines. For me, I would take Cole and Shaw.

Has Hodgson got a season ticket?

Agree.

Not today he wasn't.

Damn. I had my money on GS or BS for this response.

Agree

Just back from the game. What a top performance! We made Everton look very ordinary indeed. No Saints on holiday yet chaps! Can't remember who it was but someone on here billed this as the battle of the fullbacks. It was a massacre. Shaw was excellent today and Clyne had probably the best 45 I've seen him have (in the first half). Second half I thought Everton did a pretty good job of pushing him back but the fact that they had to change their approach to try and nullify him speaks volumes for Clyne's impact on the game. Artur had nothing to do apart from pull off a nice Cruyff turn and save a week header from Lukaku. Incidentally, Lukaku was woeful today. Missed two good chances and offered little else. Fonte and Lovren looked excellent again and they were well protected by Cork and Wanyama. These two bossed the midfield and looked very comfortable as a pairing in the middle. Cork needs to be signed up ASAP. Steven Davis? Excellent as always. I kind of wished we had signed Naismith when Rangers went t**s up but what the hell do I know? A huge standing ovation when he was subbed late on and well deserved. Lambert had another good game, dropping deeper and feeding the willing runs of Gallagher. So much to Lambert's game nowadays. Hope he ends his career with us. Legend. Lallana? Not his best game today but he oozes class. Such quick feet. Wish we had enough depth to rest him now because he doesn't look up for anything remotely like a stiff challenge IMHO. Subs: Guly! Had a great chance towards the end and unselfishly tried to play in someone else. Failed! Reed: nice little run down the right but just over ran it. Looked promising though. JWP: Steady, had a good shot well saved. All in all a cracking afternoon! Favourite chant: Who needs Rodriguez? We've got your back four! Everton fans? Lots of them. They were loud for the first 45 seconds then not a peep. Last person down the tunnel? Luke Shaw. Going nowhere IMHO. COYS!!!

As long as they are season ticket holders;)

BS the banter bard!

Can we stop at Winchester?

You are being contrary for the sake of it. Therefore, as usual, your opinion is irrelevant. I'll let you crack on now Baz. No doubt you'll heave this thread over to the MS by the end of the day. Enjoy.
