Newcastle fan popping my head in, in piece (have got my tin hat on, just in case).


First of all, I go along with the majority of postings put on the board regarding Scouse - Geordie relations. I have always found that generally speaking there has always been a pretty good relationship. Both of us have been left hung out to dry by the collapse of heavy industry and ship building, both of us have been completely ignored by central government and the south general (who seem to think that the north means Manchester), both cities are genuinely fanatical about football and beer, both have a self deprecating sense of humour. Whilst I'm on here I'll also apologies for the behaviour of the bell end key board warriors some of you have encountered, every club has them, unfortunately our recent "success" has attracted a few more of them. I would also say that as fans forums go yours appears to be one of the most even handed and fair minded I have come across, Spurs fan sites seem to have a very unusually high proportion of bell ends.

With regards to Everton, I have always had a bit of a soft spot for them, first game was in 1967 when I was about 6, Gordon West got sent off and we won 1-0 with a penalty. Also really loved the Harry Catterick teams of the late 60's and early 70's as well as the championship winning teams Howard Kendall (Geordie lad) put together.

I might be in the minority of non Evertonians, but I don't want you to be relegated, I'd much rather Luton, Bournemouth and some other random Southern team got relegated. That said, I do think that if Everton had to have 10 points deducted, you have picked the best season to get the penalty. I think you are too strong for the teams around you and will be safe well before the fat lady sings.

In terms of the match Tomorrow, I think it might be a bridge too much for Newcastle (pessimism is in built after all these years of disappointment). Our players are running on empty for the last 10 minutes of games, although the 4-1 win against Chelsea allowed some of the players to get a rest for the last 20 mins or so. Sounds like Calvin Lewis will be in the team and although I know he blows hot and cold, he is a player that can turn a game. I also thought you were unlucky against Man U, It certainly wasn't a 0-3 performance. I for one would be more than happy with a point.

I also think that Goodison will have an impact, it's one of my favourite grounds to visit (been there 4 or 5 times). Couldn't get a ticket tomorrow, but would have been there if it was possible. A night match at Goodison, on winter night is a real old fashioned football experience, I am a bit sad I won't experience that again. There are not many grounds like this left. At some point someone will build a statue to Archibald Leitch.

Anyway I genuinely wish you good luck starting Friday morning, all the best.

Shut up you patronising horse punching scruff








Only joking! (well half joking)

What's your team news for tomorrow Bijou me old Newcastle buddy old pal?
 

I think dyche should play for a draw at home and we might nick a win, also this might avoid a heavy loss and damage moral of the team and fans .

Thank you, you lovable scouse rogue, (well possibly). Team news is pretty [Poor language removed], Howe doesn't often surprise us with players being back fit when not expected so I would think it's going to be the same team, with Dubravka replacing Pope. From our side of the fence, Pope being out for four months is a big blow. His distribution isn't great but his general shot stopping, etc. is top rate.

Of the subs last week, the only one that I can see possibly starting is Hall, other than him Dummett is available to cover any defensive injury (to be fair I like him he's a good old fashioned defender who doesn't think he's anything other than that) or Krafth and Richie available for anywhere else. After that, it's kids. Any more injuries and I'll have to get my white Alan Ball boots out of the coal shed.

What people don't realise about that horse, he was at Orgreave, he was an SPG horse and he had it coming, miners have got long memories!!!

Some interesting stats....
  • Everton have lost five of their last six Premier League games against Newcastle (W1), as many as they had in their previous 24 against them (W13 D6).
  • Newcastle won this exact fixture 4-1 last season, and are looking to secure back-to-back away league victories against Everton for the first time since a run of three between 1958 and 1960.
  • Everton have lost their last four midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League matches, conceding four goals in each of the last three. Their last such game was a 4-1 home defeat to Newcastle on a Thursday in April last season.
  • Newcastle have won their last three midweek (Tues, Weds, Thurs) Premier League matches by an aggregate score of 13-3.
  • Having won three of their first four Premier League home games under Sean Dyche (L1), Everton have won just two of their last 12 at Goodison Park (D2 L8), with both of those victories coming against Bournemouth.
  • Newcastle have won just one of their last eight Premier League away games (D4 L3), beating Sheffield United 8-0 in September. They’ve conceded twice in each of their last three on the road, last doing so in four straight away Premier League games between April and August 2015.
  • No team has failed to score in more different Premier League home games than Everton so far this season (4). All eight of their goals at Goodison Park in all competitions this term (5x Premier League, 3x EFL Cup) have been scored by different players.
  • Ignoring their 10 point deduction, Everton have earned just 23.5% of their Premier League points in home games this season (4/17). Last season, 58.3% of their points came at Goodison Park (21/36).
  • Everton have opened the scoring in four of their last five Premier League matches, and have yet to lose when scoring first in the competition under Sean Dyche (W10 D4).
  • Newcastle’s Callum Wilson has scored eight goals in his last eight Premier League away games. He’s also scored four braces against Everton in the competition (including in each of his last two away games against them), with only Harry Kane (6) and Alan Shearer (5) scoring multiple goals against the Toffees more often in the Premier League.

Anti scouse crap. From the day I first stared going 50 odd years a go.
Listen to the poverty songs ect from every club, well nearly everyone, can't recall Bournemouth singing anything to be fair, and ironically from the ones singing seem to forget that there own city's/towns have far higher crime and poverty,
In a lot of case's
the Mancs for instance, Nottingham the other week the city with the lowest disposable income in England I could go on.
I really don't want to be liked and patted on the head by any other club .
Sod the lot of them.

This is why I never support England in tournament.

I travelled away with the Blues for 30 years and in every hick town from Barnsley to Brighton we were subjected to those moronic chants from the local mutants.

Then when England are playing abroad I see flags bearing the names of all those teams,

Sod them.

I thought Schaar might be out as it looked like he had a tight hamstring last game

There's nothing in the local rag (The Chronicle) re Schar, he always seems to be on the edge of an injury breakdown though. Got to say that his form since being coaches by Eddie Howe has been sensational. He always had moments, but for a £3million player, he has been an absolute steal.

There was talk of Wilson being available but no sign of that. There have also been rumours that Isak is carrying an injury and that Gordon isn't fully fit either. Regarding Gordon, I was one of those who thought it was a really bad move and that he would be a bad influence. So far, football wise at least this season he has been so good (probably not what you wanted to hear).

Sorry again about Geoff Nulty
