The Broadstreet Bullies

Well they've got a decent team with a few stars-Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds. One great player with others who grind it out. I've been to Wells Fargo before- a
Scary intimidating atmosphere and a team that plays its guts off beating some of the best teams in the league. We could do that before no reason we can't again.

Maybe that's why as a Flyers fan, I felt an affinity towards Everton.

As a leafs fan, I think Everton heading in the same direction- God hoping not.

Credit to you heading to Philly as a fan of the opposition! The Flyers punched above their weight tonight. We need some of that from Everton asap.

With a tough night game at Stoke tonight, I think this particular part of my OP is more valid than ever right now

Look, lovely looking football is great when you're up the table, but when you're in the relegation fight you need to start picking up points.

Back in the 90's, Joe Royle unleashed "The Dogs of War", it's now time for Martinez to send "The Bullens Road Bullies" into battle so that we can fight our way to survival. We can get back to nice togger next season, right now it's kill or be killed and nice guys finish last

Thankfully. Anyway, tonight promises to be a slugfest, and we better be up for grinding out an ugly result. Style points be damned.

Agreed

We'll see if we're capable of such a performance

...to be fair we have become harder to beat, especially since Stones came back. Also, I don't think it's quite as straightforward to replace Barry with Besic as his position is quite specialist. MCCarthy played the Barry role in the first half against Leicester and we looked unbalanced. It was only when we broke up the partnership with Besic and brought Gibson on that we improved.

I can eventually see Besic playing the Barry role but not at the moment.
