Everton v Newcastle. 3rd Feb at 1945.

[bretts angell]

if martinez and the team don't want to hear boo's then they really can't lose this tonight.

Should Martinez do what the fan want tho?

No. But he knows atmosphere could be a bit forgiving if Joel starts. But he makes the call. And by that he accepts the responsibility

I would like to see Joel play every game from here on in, at least it may show if he's good enough to be our no.1 keeper next season

Finally read it @chicoazul - excellent as always.

8-0 Everton

(But in reality any form of win would be great. So 3-3 it is)

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

First time I've ever read the entire preview - excellent.

I'm going for 2-2.

I Play for a team down Swansea way - shelvey came along to training for about a month solid before Xmas - weird guy - managed to nutmeg him as well - lovely.

True. Give him a go. Personally I think Joel isnt good enough to be our #1. He should have showed Beards off from his place long time ago.

dont draw in last minute please

agree

I see what you mean BUT....

He may well have shown good form in training but if the manager won't budge then how can he claim a place?

Look at last season - 3 clean sheets in the team, then dropped like a hot brick to our bemusement.

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

I reckon with a minute to go, we all might be praying for the draw.

 

[Phenom]

That Tiote description had me rolling.

 

[Nymzee]

Think we'll get beat here tbh - we're pants at home and they've improved after an influx of new blood. 1-2

Edit: Niasse can play if fully up to scratch, right?

 

[Raino85]

Townsend to bobble the 3rd in from the edge of the box after cutting inside on his left in a spawny error full 3-2 win for the geordies

It might be that Joel is too nice. If he is good (better than howard) in training he should have pushed for that spot but I think he has been good soldier in a way and accepted his place.
The fact (imo) is that Joel is a good #2 but not a #1 keeper. I dont trust him. My opinion might change if he gets a run and performs and shows balls. Show us your angry side Joel.

We owe it to football to throw dirt on the coffin of these scruffs. I've said it before and I'll say it again, striped horse punching kopites of the north.

If we don't oblivion-ate this lot I'm gonna' have to indulge in some kopite behaviour myself and burn a shirt.*


INTO 'EM EVERTON!!!

*I don't actually have a replica shirt, so it'll have to be an old work shirt but the point will be made.
