    Match Thread Everton vs Liverpool Wednesday 24th April

    The season after Hutchinson's non-goal because Poll ended the gane early. Three minutes of injury time to be played. A foul was wrongly given after 3 minutes and 42 seconds and, of course, there was time for McAllister to take the free kick and score. Strange that, eh? Game ends early for...

    Match Thread Everton v Nottingham Forest - Pre-Match Chat, Match Report & MotM Poll

    We were lucky thar we had Anthony ('i'm going to try to make no decisions all game') Taylor reffing. Another ref could have given all three and it's hard to argue against the third. But (thankfully) Taylor is prpobably the weakest ref out of a very week/spineless bunch who's default position...

    Gueye plays and we keep a clean sheet. Coincidence?

    Needs to play Gueye. He has his limitations but he does what he does well - breaks up play, protects the defence and frees up the more 'skillful' players to go forward. I cba to look it up, but it wouldn't surprise me if the majority of our good results/performances have come when he has been...

    2023/24 Jordan Pickford

    The second goal was the killer. He saves the initial attempt but then pushes it back out into the center of the box/danger area. It's about time that this tendency was coached out of him.

    8 points (if we can get them) should be enough. That would leave Luton needing to get 9 (taking into account our superior goal difference). Essentially 3 wins or 2 wins and 3 draws for their last 5 games. As they've only won six games all season, that's a tall order. Wouldn't be comfortable...

    Predict Our Run In

    A bit harsh considering our away record is won 5, drawn 4, lost 7

    November 5th 1989

    The glory days were over as soon as we appointed Harvey to replace Kendal because 'that's what you do' (EG: it had worked once - Shankley to Paisley - but because that was then recent history our useless higher management automatically assumed that it was a recipe for success). Harvey was too...

    6 + 2 Point Deductions

    The whole thing is wrong and shows how weak/corrupt the authorities are. There should be clearly defined sanctions for breaching FFP (and for misdemeanors on the pitch). They won't cover every eventuality (life's not like that) but people would know what the punishment was. Sometimes you'd be...

    One of the many worrying things is that we aren't even creating the half chances that we did at the start of our winless run, when we were arguably the better team (Spurs x 2, Fulham, Man U?). It seems to me that we play better when Gueye is there. He may not be a creative player, but he does...

    They have form for this. Remember when they let the RS into the CHampions League despite the fact that they hadn't qualified for it. All they had to do was wail and cry 'but we want to defend our trophy, it's not fair' and the footballing authorities changed the rules for them

    Yep, big club/small club. We may have a bigger fanbase (although i suspect that most 'new generation' football fans will gravitate towrds the successful club, and that means the RS for us). But neither us or Luton have won anything for 29 years. If being a big club means having won things...

    2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

    In the first half, when he turned and had that shot that was deflected over, there was a teammate to his right who had a free shot on goal....if he'd made the (2 yard) pass. It's these decision that we /he regularly messes up. In a game of fine margins half the battle is knowing what to do and...

    We may go down and we may not. But the reality is that Luton are just as bad as us. Imagine the fume if we'd lost to a late Spurs goal as they did today (bottlers, wage thieves, can't even defend for the last few minutes, etc) but we give Luton undue credit because they are 'having a go' and...

    yeah. they effectively said - 'we don't think that the squad who got us promoted were good enough, so we deliberatley flouted the rules in order to buy better players' (effectively stopping other clubs who didn't breach the rules from buying those same players). 'Then we knew we could sell...

    There are serious limitations to our game - lack of creativity, lack of goals and it's pretty much a given that we won't win any game that we go behind in. However, we are competetive in the majority of the games we play. Plus, despite what we want to believe, our players just aren't very...

    The final hurdles.

    We've had a bad run and failed to win a few games we were expected to, but not that many. If we're being realistic/fair Man C x 2, Man U x 2, Spurs x 2, Villa were all games that, it could be argued, we hoped to get points from rather than expected to. W Ham, Palace are the obvious games that...

    It makes you wonder. I heard one of the TV 'experts say that, part of the reason that Forest got less of a points deduction than us, is that they admitted it straight away. We argued the toss and delayed the investigation/decision which resulted in us getting the sanction this season (instead...
