I have a load of Everton training tops that I go running in.

It's not after a crap result that I get funny looks, it's after games like tonight.

People look briefly and think "why does he bother?"
 
They lost every single away game in the group and they’re literally going to win the thing.

Going to be an evil month.

Please don’t for one second think Ajax or Spurs beat them.
Anything can happen in a final... Think Wimbledon v RS , Wigan v city and even Leeds v Sunderland.... overconfidence may well be their undoing now.
 
Liverpool played exactly how everybody expected them to and yet Barca looked like they had no idea what was going on.

You can understand Valverde going with the experience of Busquets/Vidal/Rakitic but how on earth did he sit through 80 minutes of them consistently losing the ball without thinking to bring Arthur on?

Ajax have been comfortably the best side I've seen in the Champions League this season but I'd back Spurs to beat Liverpool in the final over Ajax, especially if they have Kane and Son fit.

Busquets is a relic of the great Iniesta/Xavi midfield. The game has moved on from one paced possession recyclers, you can't be slow on the ball when the opposition are full of aggression and desire.
 
Alba, Pique, Busquets, Vidal, Rakatic, Suarez and Messi all north of 30yo in that team.

All still great players for sure, but having that many in the autumn of their careers trying to cope with that lots energy levels... recipe for disaster really.
 
.....could be a vaulting bonanza but it’s not worth it. I wish I was an Ostrich.

Sleepless in West Derby, but i’m off to bed.
There Tarmacking the road in west derby all the way,or whatever they are doing,there may be a few everton fans buried under there tonight hiding lol
 
I can't believe how much this is actually affecting my mood and putting a downer on me.

Let's get back to Bolton mate and play 60 matches straight, we'll feel much better I reckon

Ive logged back on as well just to say what an absolute tit the Barca manager is. Playing Roberto and Coutinho after that 1st leg performance, wouldn't surprise me if Coutinho is in the rs dressing celebrating with them the knobhead
 
We've got to accept they're one of the best teams in football now. Have been average for the last 30 years but it's like they're back to the side of the 70's and 80's. Do we have to live through their dominance over the next decade?
