Match Thread West Brom V Everton kick off 15.00 26th

[Cels]

West Brom 0 Everton 2.

 

[Saaby]

Can we please not start Davies. I don't want to see another forced sub at half time.

 

[Eggs]

..I wonder if Boing, Boing, Baggies can stop the Allardyce Boing, Boing, Bounce. Tough game, be happy to come away with a draw.

 

[Cels]

Why not think positive? Unless you can see into the future you might as well lie to yourself lollollol

Been giving negative score predictions since the West Ham game onwards. It's not been going too badly in that time, and I don't want to jinx it by being positive lollol

 

[Toffeelover]

For me this is a crucial game against on paper a lesser team. Allardyce while showing he arrange the players in a massed defence really need to show he can organise an attack and not just by hoofball. So as I said it is a crucial game for the team to win but for Allardyce to stand up and be counted!

 

[Nymzee]

Whatever, we all know Barry will slot the winner.

I hope we play robotic, boring football and scrap out a narrow win. This return to the Billy Bingham era is yielding points. Last on match of the day please boys, under the radar like.

I have a feeling that it'll be a close and hard-fought 2-0 win to the Blue boys today.

Hard fought indeed.
I see similarities with the fixture a few years back at this time of the year when Victor scored a late winner.

New Years day back in 2012 and an early-kick off if I'm correct. I remember it being an absolutely awful game that exacerbated my hangover.

Hopefully a bit more of an expansive game plan today with a fit Rooney pulling the strings from deep and allowing Sigurrdson to play further up.

Oumar is due some game time today.

17 games without a win.... come on Everton don't do an Everton..
close 2-1 to us DCL and Rooney

Typical Big Victor goal but very welcome nontheless.
No reason why we can't get three points today but for the fact Pardew seems to do reasonably well with his teams against us.

Worryingly, Sam seems to have a pretty poor record on Boxing Day fixtures losing more (seven) than any other Premier League manager.

Perhaps a by-product of his typical decision to not train on Christmas day? Either way, I doubt it'll be a comfortable performance by ourselves.

17 without a win plus Pardew yet to win a game at his new club, Everton flying,


1-0 West Brom!!!
The goal to be scored by someone who hasnt scored for 2 years
