Fortress Goodison

[deipnosophist]

92 points, pity we aren't as good away from home.

we are looking better at our away games this year (since the window shut anyway)...different mentality under RM

 

[deipnosophist]

I was taking the mick mate, he's one of the most useless players I think i've ever seen, West Ham away was the final straw and thankfully Martinez hasn't played him since.

...there is no 'I think' about it mate...Jelavic is unquestionably the worst footballer to ever play in the history of ALL football. His only redeeming feature is that he makes me laugh as he runs about the fiel like a headless chicken with roller skates on...then he trips up.

Are Fortress back. Have we renamed Goodison ?

 

[Furey1878]

Don't worry Ijjy, you're thread's not crap.

Just painfully underwhelming...............








Nah, long may these great fortress walls remain un-breached though... I'm gonna say we won't be beat at Goodison till we get Barca in our CL group next season.

Is a fortress not just a female fort though ?

Nice list

After the Arsenal game, we went 13 games unbeaten before losing the fourteenth (Chelsea)

We are currently 13 games unbeaten and play the fourteenth v Spurs. Nailed on Spurs win...

Tim Howard is a type of ambition targeted fortress...he's a goal keep

At games for the USAMNAFT they sing 'Love Me Tender' to him.

Have to wonder how we are not in the CL with home form like that.

all credit to Moyes. Wonder what our away form looks like?

We only won 4 away games last year, answer right there.

Bum bums. I'd thought as much TBH.

Again, all credit to Moyes.

 

[allezlesbleus]

I know the squad size and money comes into it but we really should have qualified for CL last year. Credit Arsenal for late run and spurs for late winners in run in but we had so many games won and then let them go. In my more paranoid moments I think Dm did it deliberately to weaken our bargaining position with Baines and Fellaini!!
