Match Thread Everton 3-0 Notts Forest. Sat 6th December

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Yeah, I know we haven't played Newcastle yet and there's Bournemouth in between, but this is the one. The grudge match.

No one cares about Bournemouth, the Tory graveyard that birthed the saviour of the Geordies known as Eddie Howe.

Notts Forrest. Not liked in these parts due to their moaning and carping about points deductions and being part of a collective who chuntered about suing us. Then got busted themselves.

Chuck in that they are managed by everyone's favourite former ex manager, who despite playing a huge role in keeping us up (like it or not), is remembered barely better than Benitez by some Blues. He'll no doubt relish putting one over on us.

So, what's it going to be? Dyche anti-footballing us into submission on the transition, or a Moyes masterclass? Our players not slapping each other would be preferable as well.

Moyes already took care of Silva

Moyes will end Dyche

 

[Verbal Kint]

Have nothing against Dyche, he was what we needed, did what he was brought into do, deserves a job like Forest. Big step up from Burnley

Are you drunk mate?

Sadly not

The problem here is that we've run out of luck with the European games: most of our opponents so far at home have got to the new stadium off the back of Euro games...and usually with travelling involved.

Forest and Everton have roughly the same schedule from now until our match with them.

Dyche will have them set up hard to break down and they have talent on the break.

Moyes wins.

Never bet against yourself.

The grudge match.

I hold nothing against Dyche.

He did what we asked of him, then left on good terms. You’re trying to create a rivalry that simply isn’t there.

Nothing wrong with rivalry.

Anything that can build you up before a game.

All's fair in love and war !!

( Don't show "Old Blue 2" the last sentence )

Rivalry doesn’t equal grudge though.

Never took to the fella or ever saw him as an Everton manager,however he will eternally have my gratitude as to how he managed to navigate our ship through the choppy waters of points deduction season

 

[Neiler]

I’m disappointed I’m not really arsed about Dyche now that he’s at Forest, I enjoyed their win against the RS last week to be fair to me.

I was surprised to see many turn on Moyes before Fulham that seems like a long and forgotten time ago.

But look many a poster has been judged by the historical search function. Which I personally don’t agree with in the spirit of Noel and what not.

Will be a big test against their £400m huge squad with the threadbare resources we have at the moment having played 3 games in a week. Hopefully we can have Gana available after the appeal or we really could be struggling to put a midfield out.

 

[Moomin]

A battle for the ages!!!

Which mastermind of setting up a team not to lose will triumph.

Would be the 80's equivalent of a WWF match between Brooklyn Brawler and another jobber loser.

This level of dedication and enthusiasm with match threads is something I fully endorse.
