Match Thread Everton v Chelsea, Sunday December 22nd, 2pm

[sam domingo]

Anyone remember the game against these in the early 90s when Southall, completely accidentally, punched Kerry Dixon in the head?

I don't remember that incident, but I do remember a game against them around that time when Chelsea's keeper had the ball in his arms ready to kick it down the pitch, as the players turned to go downfield one of their defenders (I think it was Monkou one of their centre halves?) gave Peter Beardsley a bit of a slap to the back of the head, the ref saw it and gave us a penalty as both players were still inside the penalty area. I think we ended up beating them 2-1, might have been the last game of the season?

Wouldn't be surprised if this lot threw ginger bollocks under the bus today - now we have new owners in place.
Pretty sure most of them will want him booted sooner rather than later.

So i'm predicting a standard 2/3 - 0 roll over.

To be fair mate Dyche has threw players under the bus plenty of times.

Travelled up from darn South for this. When would be latest it could be called off you reckon ?

Probably 11am or so would be the latest. If it was to be called off I'm sure it would be announced by now however

i would say this is no different to the one that was called off personally, with an uneducated wet finger in the air.

We've won this fixture 5 times in the last 6 seasons, and each win has come under a different Everton manager.

The difference is by this time on derby day I had 2 out of 6 fence panels still standing. All present and correct today!

Back in the 70’s they has a feller called Mickey Droy, absolute yard dog of a player, seemed to tower over Mike Lyons

ah the standard Met Office metric, 'its pretty windy, have we checked Tim's fence panels?'

 

[edge]

Could be murder to defend corners in this wind.
Come on Everton.

Incredible stat that!

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Whilst a good player I've got absolutely no time for that gormless looking ming with the stupid celebration.

 

[linderoth]

It's windy, it's squally and it's bloody cold.

Dyche weather.

1-0 Everton
