….i certainly prefer Keane but I’d say ‘Keane is less worst than Holgate’.

Haha a better way of phrasing it

 

[Enzouk]

Not watched our first two games as I didn't want the misery in my life, which means i'm still somewhat positive.

We'll do these 3 - 1 with a scrappy performance that'll look better on paper than it was watching, Beto to get on the scoresheet.

COYB!!!

This manager has got us to thinking like the bit in bold.

Throw him in the skip

Is the whole club mate, started with kenwrong and we’ve never stopped.

It’s why moyes returning like some white knight always comes up like a bad smell - just so insular and small minded, they have destroyed what this club used to be.

We as fans should be more demanding of ourselves, the owner, the DoF, the manager, the players without the coked up divvies at train stations or chasing players cars down the road.

On my way up. Given my finances this year I'm always conscious it might be my last trip to Goodison. Completing all four sides of the ground in the upper Bullens tonight as well.
Can't we just smash these 5-0?

Saw my first game from the upper Bullens and always loved the view from there. Will be happy with a win and a clean sheet.

Fair enough mate, for me at least you can say Keane is a centre half who has a decent range of passing and can be a threat from set pieces. But he is oh so often flat footed, not the fastest and has a mistake in him.

Holgate got me has never really stamped him as a centre half, hence him playing right back a lot, he's never really been a threat from set pieces and really doesn't use the ball well on top of being a red card waiting to happen. All I will say he's got over Keane is being a bit more aggressive and quicker.

In fairness, both Keane and Holgate get the occasional goal each, but that does not make up for the 2 they give away in every game.

On paper we will win easily. Unfortunately the game will be played on grass...

At least we don't have to suffer this on the radio.

I only watch us till we go one down. Then I get back to my day.

As there is zero chance of overturning a deficit, it makes life a lot easier.

I think there has been a complete over-reaction to the narrow 1-0 defeats to Brighton and Spurs.

I did this last year and I shall be resuming immediately

Will wait to see if keane starts before i put a bet on both teams to score.
