Can honestly say I reckon were going to get beaten and made to look stupid tomorrow it's Ranieri vs Martinez a premiership winner vs a premiership relegator !

I could see us playing all the oldies actually.
As this is a nothing game.

Then play kids in the week, in tough games that will do them good.

Disagree there, nothing game or not this is a team that won the Prem, and even on 50% they'd still maul us.

Play the kids, this is how you get experience - playing against champions and big boys. Plus if not now - then when?
 
Im NOT looking for a ticket you will all be glad to know. I just wondered ...... just how many Everton fans have sold their tickets on to Leicester fans, I dont expect people on here to claim they have, but is there any word on the street as it seems from Twitter and the like there will be hundreds and hundreds of foxes in your end.... maybe even 1K plus. I can fully understand why so many foxes want them.... and also understand why the Everton fans have cashed in, but there must be a lot of Everton fans also who could not get tickets as guessing your 3000 would of sold out easy enough. Either way..... hope you all have a good day where ever you are, a good luck for next season :)
 
For as much as this game means the world to you, it means absolutely nothing to us mate.

If I had two tickets for this game, I'd be selling them on at face value personally, preferably to a Leicester dad and his kid - once in a lifetime moment for you lot.

Sunderland midweek when they are bang at it fighting for their lives is tougher test for a young player IMO mate.

Leicester will be punting everything at Vardy trying to get him the golden boot.

If Leicester needed something out of it, i would agree with you.

I can see it all kicking off when our plane flies over with the banner saying "Vardy is a drug cheating Steptoe racist" to be honest mate.
I'd give our end a right swerve if i was you.

Congrats and enjoy the day. What a pair of seasons you lot have had. In October, I bet my 7 year old daughter $1000 that you wouldn't be top of the league at Christmas. As you know, I lost that bet. Asked her to double or quits that you wouldn't win the league. She wouldn't bet. Guess she just felt sorry for her old man. Champions. Savor it.
