[Prevenger17]

Anyone know what time the plane is due to fly over?

Yes

 

[Prevenger17]

Arouna Kone first goalscorer, Everton to win 2-0 at 100/1.

 

[Mozza1987]

Tough place to go this, would be made up if we got a point but can't see us getting anything unfortunately.

Think today may set a new record for amount of thread bans for a single day.

I promised myself I would be positive, all the negativity was annoying me. So this on for 0-2, Lukaku and Mirellas to score.
We'll shock them with our change in tactics, we'll go Lukaku up front with Del boy and Mirellas on the wings, Barkley pushing on from midfield, McCarthy and Cleverly in mid and our normal defence without Baines.
We'll shift the ball around at speed and they will be 0-2 down before before they know what hit them.
Post match we'll announce our new £15 mill playmaker.
Job done.
Come on lads, who agrees with me

Sorry mate, but I think literally none of that will happen.

One can hope though eh?

In the euphoric rush of optimism I couldn't waste the time to spell his full name

Arouna Kone first goalscorer, Everton to win 2-0 at 100/1.

I never ever thought id place a bet this ridiculous.

You're damned right. Clean sheet? Pffft.

 

[strummer]

It suits me when the people in the media completely rule out our chances because it increases our odds at the bookies. Southampton drew with an utterly crap Newcastle last week.they really aren't nothing special. Im gonna back us to win 1 0 with lukaku bagging the winner.I haven't checked the odds yet but they will be pretty high.cmon everton

 

[Blue Cheese]

Southampton must be favourites for the League this year judging by how everyone is pooping themselves. Disgraceful stuff Blues.

 

[royalblue66]

Is this man Kone going to make us all look idiots,he is isn't he ?

 

[Hangleton]

Tough place to go this, would be made up if we got a point but can't see us getting anything unfortunately.

They've won 2 out of the last 8 in the league since losing to us.

Or we will play pointless tippy tappy passing in the middle of the pitch and get picked off when we inevitably misplace a pass.

Mane will be a huge threat today with his pace.
