I give up

They really send you on a roller coaster don't they mate. Hope your form picks up soon, when is the next derby - that might get you back on track.

....chuffed with Barkley's contribution. I've been critical only because I know what he's capable of and I'm not accepting all of the excuses. He needs to step up, he needs to score 10+ goals but he's started fine. Chuffed.

I give up

going to be a long long season for your lot mate. If it's any consolation we hate the geordies almost as much as you.


Sorry, it's all I have.

Saw the first half before taking my nephew to see the Newport County game (never matches up to Goodison like.) I'm assuming the second half was a bit more defensive with a good flourish at the end. From what I saw, that was easily the best performance we've had since Arsenal home the other year.

Said the other week we always seem to play opposite to whatever 'feel' there is around the club. It felt like that siege mentality returned today. Full on credit to Martinez and the team for that. Important we keep that going now with some additions to the squad and a gnarly Goodison at home to City next week.

Enjoy the weekend Blues!

Just came in to see where all the fume and ridicule is towards Martinez, you absolute bells

 

[Ducans elbow]

Really don't like that the front decal is orange and the numbers on the back are white, looks like someone bought jarg lettering and numbers for the back because the Premier League ones are too expensive.

Didn't even notice tbh mate

Did anyone notice how close jags and stonsey where to each other today. We obviously targeted the pelle threat and Seamus went man for man with Mane, even following him across when he took the corners. Jags and stones looked different class today because they concentrated on staying compact and not stretching across the park trying to play tippy tappy out from the back.

What was class was that Mane was very good today and we limited his chances.

 

[Yorkie]

Love the gun shots with Gerard

If I was him right now i'd be fully buzzing! Hopefully he bags a screamer against City like he did last time, and we win this time. Send a message out to the prem that we are boss.

......my son said to me last week that he thinks we are set up to better away from home, he probably has a point.

 

[Deco]

I've stuck 20 quid on us to win and can't help but feel it was a mistake.. but NEA COYB.

Don't think the win could've been sweeter
