Three years on the bounce now we have drawn 2-2 against promoted sides on the opening day.

Norwich wasn't a newly promoted side

Correct. But conceding a goal to Van Wolfstinkel is just as bad, if not worse.

I contend that Watford will do well in the PL. I was pleased with the one point and most particularly by our spirit and fight. Augurs well for the long campaign ahead. However, the thinness of our squad (cover-wise) concerns me

lol classic Everton that!. And Soldado scoring for Spurs against us ranks up there as well!

Two spring to my mind.

August 1977 when Forest came to town.

Easy three points, thought I.

Yeah right.....we caught a Tartar and that season's eventual champions beat us 4-1.

Then about twenty ish years later Palace came to Goodison

A baldy Italian scored a couple for them and they won 3-1 from memory.
