It will be easier for us all to accept that this season is destined to be for the most part crap, as a predictable second half handed the points to Arsenal.

Saturday doesn't hold any promise of an easy three points either, as Blackpool are a confident outfit away from home and are usually good for a goal or two which doesn't bode well for a team with only one clean sheet in fourteen games.

It's been absolute beards since we've enjoyed a comfortable two or three nil at home and this season has taught us to discards such thoughts out of our heard against supposed lesser opposition. Blackpool have had a fantastic season thus far and are still turning up and looking to have a real attacking go at whoever they play, like an acer version of Hull City from a couple of years ago minus the bellends in the crowd doing the tiger maul gesture when they score.

Holloway has more than a whiff of bad bell about him though, not unlike Phil Brown, showing his zany side at weekly press conferences while the nation's media spaff over him. His I'm just Ian from the block routine is a tad transparent, and the beaut has actually got shares in Charlie Adam for [Poor language removed] sake. On the subject of Adam who was nearly seduced by Liverpool this week, he's a fine footballer and someone we'll have to keep an eye on. Not aesthetically mind you as he looks like the lovechild of Les Dennis and Peter Siddle.

I really don't know what team is likely to line up, never mind if it's the customary one or maybe two up front. We haven't really seen more of that Saha/Beckford combo that looked a wee bit promising and more preferable to Anichebe who does a wonderful impression of a fish when you take it out of the water after running for more than twenty yards.
Fellaini has for the most part been excellent and after a bright beginning to the last game Arteta returned to consistent poor form. This is the type of game he's dominate in the past, so here's hoping. Bily just won't seize the chance on the left, he is utterly ****e whenever the opposition player closes him down and Osman isn't the answer there, so who is? The defence didn't do too wrong against Arsenal so no changes expected there.

You see as much as you're dejected now, once Saturday morning comes you'll get excited again, even a little optimistic - that's what Everton do. Before they crush that aforementioned optimism out of you like one of them big [Poor language removed] off anacondas getting a grip of a medium sized rodent at the side of some manky river.

As Moyes made reference to post Arsenal game, it's a results game, and we're currently sat four points from a relegation place. Anything other than a win from this game and more than one arse will be twitching until May.
 

I'm thinking another 2-2. I'm almost certain we'll draw this one anyway.


I don't remember the last time I went into a game expecting us to win it, though.






On a positive note Saha has been immense this past month or so. I think he'll have a field day against Blackpool's woeful defense.
 


The amount of times we've seen the words 'must win game' recently are the best indication of the absolute meh of a season we're having. I think we really had better win this game. I would like to see a bit of 'get out of here and take your orange shirts with you' attitude on Satdy. No more Mr nice guy with these so called lesser teams. Let's give them the dry bumming they deserve.
Goodnight
