Match Thread Everton 3-0 Chelsea 21st March 17:30

[Iana]

I am hoping this is the match which ignites the atmosphere at HD.

Arthur Hopcraft in his seminal book “The Football Man” described the atmosphere at Goodison as “one of collective vindictiveness” towards the opposition.

I would love to see that revived today.

Great opportunity for Dave to show he is not a coward…

Beautiful spring sunny day

The later kick off today is perfect, few drinks down the 10 streets area

If sky TV know what they're doing there'll be a lovely shot of the sun setting over the wirral peninsula just as the first half ends today

1 nil Everton, early Garner goal.

1 nil Everton, early Garner goal.

Noooooooooo! I hate us getting early goals against any of the Sly six, we will gradually withdraw into our own penalty area as the game progresses inviting shot after shot until the inevitable happens.

70th/ 80th minute goal please, then dig and fight to hang onto the three points.

All eyes on Barry, and fan reaction to his contribution to this club, even if it's only cameo minutes. Today could start defining his time left here.

He'll refuse to play in front of our violent mob

It's 11 o'clock, where are the leaks?

Franz Kafka these pseudo dandies into oblivion. C'mon Blue.️

Really looking forward to this game, and it’s not even about the footy.

I hope the spirit of the deductions roars back at BMD, after this goal corrupt farce with Chelsea (and surely city to follow) has happened.

Saturday kick off feels great as well.

UTFT! Let’s get into these pl shithouses and Chelski.

We’ll be set up and primed for a 0-0. Anything else, even a reverse, is a bonus because “they’re a great team, always in Europe and we kept them out for 70 minutes….I’m definitely pushing the players for Europe, aye”

I think tonight is pretty crucial for the Moyes in Europe project. At some point, it's evacuate your bowel or get off the pot time. That time is pretty much tonight. A win tonight does two things. Firstly, it psychologically closes the book on the darkest period of our club's modern history by exacting a small measure of righteous revenge against the Premier League cheats and their enablers who tried to force this club into administration. It would be the sweetest of wins. It would also establish us as genuine European contenders, something we have failed to do all season when opportunity knocked.

Moyes can't keep hitting his head against that ceiling without it breaking or splitting himself open. There's no point saying Chelsea spent this and that while ignoring how utterly dysfunctional they are as a team. Time for us to step up once and for all...or else to stop doing the same thing over and over again with the same manager and expecting a different result.

Vengeance, please, Toffees.

They are on a bad run - they are like a wounded Lion - DM

A big round of Applause for Garner tonight please.

If he's at Rb than a big boo for Moyes.
