We're flying at 7. Should be in city centre about 9.30. COYB

Expecting a clean sheet for starters so up to the front players to do their bit.
Romalu plus Bolassie will be in the mix.
Jinxing it but maybe we can start to shake off the Everton "thing" and start taking advantage of where we are.

Well in Chico, tough game this, 1-0 Ebepton

Big crowd of Irish Toffees on the flight - all in good form and looking forward to a decent performance and 3 points.

why have people started writing Ebepton instead of Everton?

Game against a Russian team a few years ago - Everton in Russian = ЕВЕРТОН. We then/before that/I dunno when played a greek team, where Everton is spelled Εβερτον (Ebeptov). People combined it and it became a forum meme to misspell it in various ways.

Also 3:0 to the Mighty Ebeps.

Can only see Middlesbrough troubling us on the break or from set pieces. I'm sure, unlike Martinez, Koeman has put the defence through their paces in these areas. Would like to see us getting about Middlesbrough today. Let us go and get goals.

 

[flibbyflob]

Should win, just got a niggly feeling this one is going to frustrate us and we will end up 0-0.

 

[blue to the bone]

Playing wirh confidence. Goodison should be rocking. Every thing in our favour. We can't mess this up can we...
2 0 blues. Rom and bolaise

 

[GwladysBlue]

Boro seemed to always be a difficult fixture for us when they were previously in the Premier League.

Think we'll win but it is going to be a tough one, every game is nowadays.

Different type of pressure today, Evertonians going the game with expectation as appose faint hope that they've had to muster in the past 2 seasons, will be interesting to see how they adapt. Early goal is key, Boro would snatch our hand off for a 0-0 and listening to talksport this morning all three had us in their charity bet treble.
