Prediction for tonight? Im feeling bizzarly confident. Might actally pop down the local to watch.

Is 1-2 too much to hope against the mighty west brom?

Well you've got the 1- bit right (so far)

[anonymous-user]

Get the proverbial IN !

[TTmonkey]

Fantastic.

Never seen that coming at 2-0 down. Well done you blue boys

[GTO-3R]

Did you see the guy who has won 45k thanks to Everton winning and both teams to score? £5 acca and he had 4.5k cash out option before the game and he let it ride....some emotional roller coaster he's been on tonight!!

Very impressed with Delefou, he looked every bit the team player last night and I hope he can build on this, would be great to see him and Miralles lining up together. It would be wrong to come down too hard on Mori, but he does have a whiff of carthorse about him, better after the break but I don't yet see why he cost almost 10m. Now for the derby.

Just hope Stones and Coleman are fit, that will be a massive boost

Agree. It feels like a long time since we put out a full bore team. Always an injury or suspension. See what we can do with a proper first team against the ste.

The one thing the Red ste do not have anymore is our nemesis SG.

First time for years I have approached the Derby with anticipation. I fancy us to give them a hefty beating. Not enough to get Agent Rodgers the sack tho!

They are just about a mid table side of late, living on memories of yesteryear. I also fancy us on Sunday we just have to go at them from the start.

Haha, you lot crack me up. We are fully aware that we are st from front to back, I expect you to thrash us and if you don't, well.....

[DuncanM]

Sturridge hat trick to shut you guys up this weekend

[hilly10]

Did not take long for the REDS to bite

[curlie467]

Haha, the classic PH response.

[hilly10]

Very true though

[curlie467]

What is, there is no way you were fishing for bites.

I only came in because its the derby on Sunday, yet here is your thread where probably every page mentions red ste.
No wonder your nickname is what it is.

Good luck on Sunday.

form doesn't count for much in derby games. If the RS do win, the only upside is that they will probably hang onto Brenda until Xmas, I would really miss the entertainment value of his press conferences. By contrast Bobby's press conferences are incredible and phenomenal.

[DuncanM]

Don't forget that the majority of last season you guys looked like a team fighting relegation, short memories methinks.

If there is one thing Evertonians cannot be accused of it is short memories! Why else would we constantly be referred to as 'bitters', you can't have it both ways and if you think we are crowing you are tragically mistaken.

We know that we are enjoying a little run of form but we are equally aware that it will all come crashing down at some point, probably tomorrow, the fact that we've only won 3 out of the last 31 derbies tells you all you need to know. Personally I have decided to go play golf and get as far away from it all as possible, on my return home if my wife has drawn the curtains it will be a signal that we have lost and I will reverse out of the drive and go to the pub to cheer myself up. If the curtains are open the game will have been drawn and I will go to pub as it will be 'safe' and if she's ripped the curtains from the rail I know we have lost so badly that the only course of action is to go to the pub.
