Welton Toffee · March 10, 2009

Beattie is bound to score surely!

Think we'll knick it 4-1.

I usually get the train but i think i might drive all the way up for this.

So where's the best place to park? I'll be coming in off the M62 i think, want somewhere within about 30 mins walk of the ground but which makes it easy to get back onto the M62 after the game so i don't have to sit in traffic for ages.

Any ideas?

This will be my third home game now, first was West Ham last season we drew 1-1 after being 1 up, second was Newcastle we drew 2-2 after being 2 nil up.

So if we go 3 up on Sat i will **** myself

Can some of you answer the question for us on Delilahs to post onto our blog?

Now that we are over the half way point in the season, are you happy with your current position?

What are your expectations for the season? Have they changed from day one?

Any places you reccomend for our travelling support to have a few drinks/ anywhere that should be avoided?

What team are you likely to put out against us?

Any guesses on what you think the score will be?

Thanks in advance

annihilation and humiliation

Yes, given our start to the season and our injuries i wouldnt have expected us to be in the top 10.

What are your expectations for the season? Have they changed from day one?

From day one i wanted 5th or higher. I still want 5th, but id settle for 6th now...

Most pubs like the banter, and they're all dotted around goodison. As long as your not annoying, they should accept you.

What team are you likely to put out against us?

See my post on the first page.

Any guesses on what you think the score will be?

Beattie will score for you, probably a pen, but we will win. 3-1.

Content? Yes, Happy? Not yet

The money spent in the summer and the teams "around" us looked like they were going to improve radically (spurs, city) I would have taken 6th place. Now we've been here all season with no real challenge, I expect us to kick on further and push 4th and 5th despite the ridiculous amount of injuries to major players.

Any places you reccomend for our travelling support to have a few drinks/ anywhere that should be avoided?

No idea

What team are you likely to put out against us?

Howard

Jagielka - Yobo - Lescott - Baines
Neville
Osman - Fellaini - Rodwell - Pienaar

Cahill

Any guesses on what you think the score will be?

3-1 Everton, Cahill, Lescott, Saha, Lawrence

And that is where i'll be. Cant remember exactly but i think its somewhere towards the back slightly right of centre.

bluebloodinmyveins · March 11, 2009

Not looking forward to this game, as Stoke are a dirty aggressive side. The last thing we need is another injury or 2 :unsure:

I think we will win it easy though, and i reckon 4-0

GREENHOFF10 · March 12, 2009

As I mentioned in an earlier post I'll be travelling to Goodison to see those Rip Roaring Potters on Saturday with my 7 year old.

He's got a game in Congleton on Saturday morning that won't finish untill 12.30pm. I'm unsure whether to drive or get the train from Crewe to Liverpool.

If I let the train take the strain any suggestions as to which bus to catch to and from the ground from Lime St or would it be easier to just jump in a cab?

The lad will also need feeding and watering any suggestions for child friendly pubs in the vicinity?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Heading up first thing on Saturday morning, getting to the hotel and then a taxi into town. Meet up with the boys and then slowly make our way to the ground after stopping off at random establishments along the way. Watch the game and then carry on drinking!!!!

GREENHOFF10 · March 12, 2009

Stoke aren't a "dirty, aggressive side", you've obviously been taken in by Arsene Whinger. He's the only manager that has tried to **** us off by starting that scurrilous rumour.

We're certainly no push-over , we've got our fair share of big lads in the side, I'll even agree that we're not very good sometimes but we're never a dirty side.

Yes

Now that we are over the half way point in the season, are you happy with your current position?
Yep. We had an absolutely woeful start to the season, added to that the amount of injuries etc. I'd say comfortably in 6th is a good place to be. Having said that though, we have thrown some points away which could have seen us even higher! It's shaping up to be a very good season though, I'm excited about the team at the moment.

What are your expectations for the season? Have they changed from day one?
They have changed yes. At the start of the season I wanted European qualification and a good run in the UEFA Cup. Now we're pretty much guarenteed a place in the Europa League we need to try and finish as high as possible and go for it in our FA Cup semi-final against Man Utd. It's going to be a great occasion as I was too young to remember the last time we played at Wembley.

Any places you reccomend for our travelling support to have a few drinks/ anywhere that should be avoided?
Not a local so don't really know, although as long as you behave yourself I doubt there'll be any trouble.

What team are you likely to put out against us?
Depends whether Saha is fit enough to start, will probably be something like this though...

Howard
Jagielka-Yobo-Lescott-Baines
Osman-Neville-Fellaini-Pienaar
Cahill
Jo/Saha

Any guesses on what you think the score will be?
I'm hoping the boys will be full of confidence after our second half display against Boro. If we play like we did first half, it'll be close. If we play like we did second half, it won't be.

4-1 to the blues
