Really think this is our first test of the season

Already forgotten the first match of the season?

No, Palace are a decent side, but Spurs was a free hit, also were on a run now, that brings new pressures.

No doubt Palace will try to nullify James Rodriguez and stifle his creativity. I just hope they don't do a hatchet job on the guy. There's a bit of concern about Jordan Pickfords' confidence going into this one, but with a bit of luck he's used up his errors for this month and he'll have a decent game.

Fifty years ago (Saturday 26-Sept-1970 the 1970/71 season) we played Palace at Goodison and won 3-1 with goals from Harvey, Morrissey, and Royle; finishing the season in 14th place. Having won the First Division the previous season it was the start of a decade that promised Evertonians far more than it delivered. Although this one is at their place, I think I'll go with the same scoreline but hope we have a better season, and decade, than we did back then.

1 Townsend

3 Richarlison, Keane, Doucouré

Hodgson brimming over with confidence.

Always liked Roy and never held any bad feelings over his connection to our friendly neighbours really. Nice chap, funny too.

Would like to see Richy open his League tally and for James to score another

Hodgson brimming over with confidence.

I like Roy. He’s a very good manager. He’s no Carlo but he’s good.

Remember this is the fixture in which Everton found-object footballer Oumar “Bounced In Off My Ass” Niasse received the first, and to date the only, two game suspension for diving awarded by s mysterious three judge panel- marking only the 27th time that rules have been selectively applied to disadvantage Everton

I fancy us to continue our great start to the season. Palace 0 Everton 1.

1-4

 

[RomanReigns]

Looking forward to this.

3/3 wins in the league with brighton to face at home which we should also win would be incredible. We then have nice 2 week break before the derby at home as well.

 

[kiss the crest]

I think this game is massive and will certainly have a big impact on where we will be come the end of the season. We win and the team will really start to believe.
Lose then it is a reality check on our weakness

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Toughest game yet,well organized,get stuck in,and decent at times going forward. Won't be a walk over by any means,i'd take a 1-2 or 0-1 right now.

3 points again please Blues.

Very acceptable editing of the original vici.

We are rocking up to Selhurst park and casually strutting out James Rodriguez to torment them for an hour and a half. It's the new Everton
