Everton could crown Liverpool as champions

[dholliday]

this is a strange one for me. Supporting since 1983 and this is the first time I need for my sanity us to lose. To make matters worse I'm flying in for the match, 2 nites accom and drink money. Why are you doing this to me everton. Pissing me off you are now

I think you'll find you're pissing yourself off.

100% City win wanted for me now. People wondering if we'd celebrate a City goal? You haven't been to Goodison a lot methinks if you think that's even a possibility. Simply won't happen. All you will see is a muted atmosphere of "oh well" at worst.

An Evertonian will never celebrate an opposition goal at Goodison Park.

If we do begrudgingly get pts of city, I would rather 3 than 1 as 5th is in the bag. 1pt would be double annoying as it hands them the title and we could still finish 6th.

We won't celebrate, but the loss will feel like a win.

I wonder what the players and Martinez will make of a muted celebration of a dramatic last-minute winner vs Man City...

I like that you think it's a choice we have mate.

They're not simpletons, they'll understand the circumstances, and even the most closeted of Everton players will fully appreciate the atmosphere, if indeed there is one. In fact, in that scenario, Goodison would erupt in celebration.

I'm 99% sure every Evertonian in the ground will want a win for that 90 minutes on the pitch. The only issue in question here is whether if we came out of that game with a loss, would it hurt as much as usual. For me, that's an outright "no" and I suspect it's the case for most. But to even think for a second that anyone in that ground during that game will actively want Everton not to score at any point is fanciful.

In essence we shall act like @Del's mar on Saturday.

 

[mglennon]

Baines is fit for city game.

Damn

They will have to show the match on the porn channels then

Baines is fit for city game.

Damn

I don't think we'll risk him, save him for Hull.

 

[toffee matt]

Baines is fit for city game.

Damn

Now is the time to play him in midfield

Maybe we should go to where all the Everton players are staying on Friday night and pull a Formby Hall stunt to keep them all awake.

That's not the debate. A loss to Man City would hurt the least out of any other league loss over the last many years (in light of the Arse securing 4th), simply as it derails the RS title bid significantly.

If the poll was:

Would losing to Man City hurt as much as losing any other league game?

a) yes
b) no, it would hurt less as I don't want Liverpool winning the league
c) no, it would hurt more. Merseyside United FTW!
d) John Hurt on Toast


90% of us would vote b), myself included.
