Winnable but reckon it will be very tough.

Never fails to generate a chuckle from me.

...same here: God bless the Lisbon

 

[blue to the bone]

We won't lose is my prediction!!

 

[MinkyJoe]

3-1 victory today for us. Brighton aren't a bad side but I think the team will be buoyed by the Burnley result and will play with confidence.

Can see Mina scoring again.

Let's go for a little drink mate. Just between friends, nothing gay, even though that's quite obviously very much ok if anybody is of that persuasion.

Just got home from a night out on the ale. Golly, prices in bars are expensive these days. I’m going to get my head down but am setting the alarm for the 4am kick off. Tough game I think...they will defo score from a dead ball play so I hope we can finish the chances that we create.
See you all in about 3 hours!

Mine does, does yours? Fancy meeting fella?

lol

Sometimes, this is the best way to respond

Anyone going the match that can give us a lift car broke down on the way?

 

[Jeff Jones]

2.00am kick off here. I'm going to bed now, but I'll wake up at some point during the match and get up to see the score. I woke up 30 minutes in v Burnley
and 0-3 put a smile on my face. Same again, please.

The confidence built by the Burnley result should stand us in good stead, good solid win, 2 or 3 nil.

Another lower league ref allocated to Everton.

Andy Madley, looks like he's only done a handful of Premier League games in his career.

Tbf, I don't trust many of the current batch so the more new ones the merrier... maybe. Is this the one warnock was moaning about getting allocated.

I honestly don’t care much who the ref is; when points like those are made it just feels like a pre-emptive excuse in the event of a shocking result.

End of the day, we should be good enough to win even if the ref is “on their side”. It’s the footballing equivalent of not leaving it in the hands of the judges.

Yeah I say that, but their inconsistencies this season have cost us wins like at Bournemouth and wolves, and that's even excusing that the red card decisions were right. But at the end of the day, our finishing is why we're not higher.

Team will be interesting.
Can see a couple of changes just to freshen things up.
