Match Thread Everton v Manchester United - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

I have not been able to read any other subscribers on this subject, but as an ordinary blues fan can I appeal to all our fans, please do not take any flares into the ground in order to make a point because it will only give the PL more ammunition to fire at us and we don't need that, especially now.

Hoping our fans will make this game unbroadcastable. 90 minutes of telling the PL what we think of them in the loudest and ugliest way.

They will cut to the adverts to avoid the crescendo of booing during the PL so called anthem unless Sky want it.

We haven't lost since 21st Oct when the officials screwed us

I meant during the rest of the season, not necessarily against the mancs

Højland is injured, right?

 

[LucBesson]

Think this is honestly the best possible we could hope for after all that's happened. The crowd was going to be well up for it regardless but there's a big game element on top. Further boost in the fact that Utd are f'n crap and there for the taking. We will win this. 2-0.

 

[PhilRegan]

What minute we predicting the penalty and Redcard against us ?

 

[edge]

Just win it anyway

 

[Arteta2391]

if we lose, does the league take away -3 points?

 

[TGW89]

2-0 down after about 27 ish minutes, but we pull one back just before HT.

Still trail 2-1 at the 80th minute, but then DCL plants a header in at the Gwladys.

Scenes and we salvage a draw. We shall not be moved.

Part of the reason I hate the modern game is that performance irrespective of their allegiances we will find a referee performing somewhere in-between.

You hate the modern game but only started following footy in 2008?

Previously injured Martinez, Diallo, Malacia and Wan-Bissaka are set to be fit for this weekend's fixture.

Eriksen, Casemiro, Evans, Shaw are all ruled out too.

Hojland almost certainly out, but Rashford and Onana ought to be alright.

Rashford, Martial and Fernandes love a goal against us and all three likely to be starting, but they've severely depleted elsewhere.

Would be gutted with a draw under the circumstances, while another home defeat with a fully fit squad would be a horrendous result.

Reid says "soccer". Is he an ignorant american?

The whole hating the word soccer thing hasn’t always existed you know? English people didn’t get triggered by the word until relatively recently. Late 80s and 90s really. He’s older so he might not care about it and his parents and teachers may have used the word.

You know who is to blame for the word? The English. Who popularized the use to compete against football … which was rugby. Soccer and rugby were both called football but rugby was winning. Americans called their rugby football because English people called it football. American soccer fans skew highly educated and they know how ignorant you sound when you get triggered about “soccer” and “why you call rugby football?” but they’re too nice to correct you and point out that you are completely assbackwards history wise. American soccer fans sure are nice to protect your feelings so much; the Americans who hate soccer tend to be the problem you know? Anyway …

1-0 to the blues. Really looking forward to hearing the crowd. Sack the board. Sack the Prem.

Things were still relatively sane then, that was going on at La Liga. Footballing cycles have shrunk, which is why we were considered relegation strugglers when we are in it for only two years.

Also considering a linear timeline, Qatar got the rights to hold WC2022 footy in 2010 only.
