The Official Everton thread - Vol 2

[Fast Bug]

It was on BBC2 then 1 for the second half with crowd noise, or iplayer without.

Iwobi was better in the second half, but that's not saying much....

[hilly10]

It’s 3 points more to respectability so I will take that. Now trust in Carlo to build us a proper team, I will COYB

Tom Davies isn’t and never will be good enough to enable us to move forward as a team. Ditto Iwobi. Average isn’t what we need.

Agreed although Tom Davies is still young but he was terrible against Norwich.

Dont think much of football without crowds. This feels like we are in limbo and the sooner the season is finished the better but I see it as time for CA to get organised for next season which should be good. I'm quite optimistic about our prospects in a way I havent been since that good season Martinez had.

That's our MO though. Optimism with a hint of pessemism, followed by a large dose of disappointment.

Lol. So true! Remember when Steve Walsh and Koeman were splashing the cash how optimistic it felt we had some money... Look where that's ended us up. 5 year setback.

[hilly10]

At least with Carlo we have the real deal, and if we give him time and he is up for it, exciting times ahead

[Cie]

hilly, any thoughts on the results last night?

[Fast Bug]

My thought would be to enjoy your moment without resorting to trolling? Edit* as a United fan you're as pleased as everyone else then?

I see a Liverpool fan parked a van with a Liverpool banner on it in front of the memorial wall at Goodison today. Classy....

He's up for it until he clears his tax bill. He's in a no lose situation, get a draw once a year against us and his job is secure.

How's the new stadium coming along?

Apparently it’s on track, Laing just awarded the technical design stage so it’s clearly moving along it seems, regardless of the fact the economy has tanked. What’s your point?

From that period, Sandro has to be up there with one of the worst signings in Premier League history! 4 year deal on £100,000k a week. He's still got another year on the books on as well!!

Non at all Cie
I watched the Derby and not much else to be honest.

[Blue62]

Anyone know of the Leicester game is off?

[hilly10]

Not heard nothing yet

[Fast Bug]

It's still on according to the radio earlier

Had to check the fixtures earlier as to who was at home , and whether we would of fancied going there, but with no fans dont make any difference , every bugger tested by the minute anyway,
It just made me think of the rumour going around a couple of weeks back.
it was once Liverpool got the points they needed,to win it, they were going to call an end to it all because of a spike in cases, stranger things have happened in the last four months.

[Adam B]

A silly rumour - EPL wants to finalise all the standings, euro places and promotions / relegations.

And not pay back 800m of tv money!

[Leicester Loyal]

The game is still on, unfortunately.

We've been poor since January, so I'm not expecting much here, no plan B and no-one seems to want to score.
