coming from the US with friends for games over the weekend and would love to sneak in this game on Friday night. Went to Goodison two years ago at around the same point in the season when Jordan Pickford was unbelievable in shutting out Chelsea, 1-0, and would love to see them again. If anybody has five tickets they'd like to sell to some grateful boys from the US we would very much appreciate it.

You'd be lucky to get 5 tickets Doug as it's at Lutons ground whose capacity is about 7, so once you let the managers in, the other 5 tickets are split to 4 tickets for the home fans and 1 ticket for Evertons away end.
 
After 4 home wins and a huge effort by the players I'd totally understand if they ease off a bit for this one and just go through the motions. Dyche will try and psych them up to keep the winning run going but a lot will depend on team selection.

I'd love to see a more attacking mentality for this one. We know they concede a lot so let's get the first goal early and make them feel a bit of pressure.

7-1 Everton 😁
 
This is it Evertonians
The big one
The huge relegation six pointer we’ve all been dreading away at the mighty Luton Town
The mighty Luton Town who are really good at their fortress of Kenilworth Road (they’ve only won four games there all season)
…Seriously though, how relieved are you all to not give a damn about this one?

Thanks to FOUR back to back home victories (that’s right, the same amount Luton managed all season) we are safe, getting to enjoy another year of top flight football, the final at Goodison Park. Thanks to ownership, staff, management, financial, more made up FFP nonsense and player contract uncertainty it’s hard to tell what that season will look like but it’s a big relief after the nonsense we’ve had to endure off the pitch this season we’re safe with three games left, two of which should be, on paper, easy games.
If we want it, we should be able to beat Luton and Sheffield United with the pressure off and if we do that, Dyche will have earned us 50 points this season which in my opinion is impressive even without all the nonsense off the back of two dreadful campaigns/managers.

Personally I was behind Luton at the start of the season as it was a fairy tail adventure for them and it’s good to have a bit of diversity in the league but honestly now I’m just sick of commentators being up their arse whilst they’re getting destroyed by real teams. Watching them let in five against City I got second hand embarrassment from the commentary team desperately trying to talk them up before rat Barkley’s consolation goal so honestly, I’d rather see Forest or even Burnley stay up now - at least we normally get results against them!

Anyway, it’ll be nice to watch another game in total comfort, not really caring what the result is but hopefully we can stick it to these and help send them on their way.
We can be a superstitious bunch but whether you put our winning run down to:
Bouncing back from a dismal Chelsea away day
Dyche’s tracksuit (3/3)
ShibbyWiggles match previews (3/3)
Actually just having some decent home fixtures in a row for once 👀
Or Gana learning to shoot for the first time in his career
…I want to wish you all a calm and relaxed final few games before we reach silly season and undoubtably start tearing our hair out about how we’re selling all our best players and replacing them with Holgate and Maupay coming back off loan ;)

Love the spiel Shibby but I'll be very honest with ya, I'll take Barkley back in a heartbeat 😄
 

Massive relief. The week is going well not having to worry about Everton. We've basically mirrored the post-deduction bounce back from earlier in the season. After the 10pts we had United. Got done and then went on that great run in December. Same again now. 2pts deducted. Hammered at Chelsea and go on an even better run to stay up. Amazon Prime should've picked us up this year. The entertainment value is top tier at this club UTFT😄
 
We still have league positions to play for.

With Luton and Sheff Utd, we potentially have 6 points to win and move onto 42 points plus we may gain a point or two back. £3.1m a place so if we could overtake Palace.

Also having ex-Forest staff in the management, I am sure will be looking to win.

I would like to see some different options especially seeing Danjuma on the left and McNeil more central.

Beto will hopefully be back and possibly DCL back too. I would play Beto and leave Dom for Sheff Utd.

XI v Luton:
Pickford
Godfrey - Tarkowski - Branthwaite - Young
Gueye - Garner
Harrison - McNeil - Danjuma
Beto
Yeah McNeil central is a thought actually but Dyche loves playing Doucs there.
 

Love the spiel Shibby but I'll be very honest with ya, I'll take Barkley back in a heartbeat 😄
I’m not sure how I’d feel about that tbh
He’d probably start for us on paper but running his contract down and leaving for nothing whilst we paid for his surgery which he opted to take mid season to miss games for us really rubbed me the wrong way (unlike recently mentioned dildo of consequence)
