Best to have him for Utd at home, get the ban served

Yes, also Atwell, who was on VAR tonight, is the ref. My mistake.

Hopefully the mods will go easy on my swearing tonight, the being down in the gutter and then the utter elation of a win like that! The inner demon comes out!!! It’s weird being an Evertonian, only you lot know

Alex Oilwobi!!

 

[Alan Whittle]

Unsurprisingly I checked.
Yes. He is out.
I also checked the referee ; You couldn’t make it up; Stuart Atwell.

My mistake. Atwell was on VAR tonight.

Old mate who clipped himself to the goals looks like The Riddler.

At some point, Iwobi will make a positive contribution to a game of football. I wonder if any of us will still be drawing breathe then?

?

Indeed, ya need a system.

I’ve got one, I only drink 365 days a year…every 4 years I have a day off, unless it’s a leap year….

Absolute shame that Begovich doesn't have his own thread. Pure class from that fellow. Certainly I'm not gonna say he's the best keeper in the PL or even on Everton, but I feel much more confident in the defense when he is in the net versus Pickford. I wonder if the players do too...every time Pickford makes a save there is this dumb dramatic "me-first-ism" admonishment as if it's all about him. Really gets to to me, as if the players aren't also giving it their all (sometimes they mess up, but really--every save...do we need this dumbass drama?). In contrast, Begovich just cooly makes the save. No prob, no drama. His post-match interview did not involve a single first-person pronoun, such as "I" or "me"...he just praised the team and moved on. All business.

Was gonna say the same.

He's a presence, sensible, about 2ft taller.

Even with perhaps our weakest back 4 configuration i felt less worried than our best with Pickford behind.

Could see it in the players too, way more confident in set pieces and so-on.

Proper harsh if he is dropped

 

[edge]

you don’t but they’re miles better

We will get a few pionts from that lot.

From the away end... what possesses an opposition fan to get that recorded and put up on YouTube?

 

[steven]

That ending was both the best thing and the worst thing of the season. Goal was incredible but those last five minutes were excruciating. Can’t do many more of those!

Cried at the final whistle tears of joy, I haven’t done that since winning the cup in ‘95. What a club, it’s safer to smoke 20 a day than be a blue ?
