I think it will be a draw, obvisiously want a win for us but a draw against the champions would be nice.

Only three/four players from that team were first 11 two years earlier when we swept to the league. That team disappeared too fast!

Yeah, but a draw against Leicester?

Still feels odd.

 

[Moomin]

I'm happy for them, glad they won it and celebrated it. Proves anything can happen really.

But, I hope the scruffs get relegated next year. Playing songs when they score, erm...... that's championship behavior that. Get back to were you belong scruffs.

Playing songs when they score

/sigh



Goal music? In the bin....

It does mate I know!! Still cannot believe they have won the league, but then again at least it wasn't Liverpool, man Utd, Manchester city or even Arsenal/Spurs, etc!!

 

[Walter Ego]

They make it in Leicester as well........

Where's that mate?

Coffee currently spat out on my shirt. Thanks for cheering me up at the end of a season that was like getting kicked in the nuts repeatedly.

I have the opiate drip line of Cubs baseball to keep me comfortably numb while this sorts out.

Genuinely good stuff, azul. I'm a newcomer and an arl arse all at once. I just think of the new regime a-coming and think good thoughts. I'm really happy this turned out like it did at the top. Maybe the game will be just a little less cynical. "Ah, but then explain Leicester!!"

It has been weird this time. As my old man used to say, it time for this season to "pull a Hank Snow."

Have they got cheerleaders and do the team's run out under exploding glitter as well?

 

[Billefc]

will we even get the formation right?

No!

 

[Jamo Martinez]

After a humiliating season where we've fallen even further from grace while teams like Stoke, Southampton and West Ham have firmly established themselves as superior to us, the RS have reached 2 finals, with a Europa final to come and Leicester City (FFS) became English champions...Everton as a spiritual entity will demonstrate its discontent, anger and restlessness and possess the useless arses we call our players, stirring them to play hardcore, 80s Everton style football, full of swagger, aggression and skill, even just for 45 minutes.

...Or we'll be on the receiving end of a routine 3-0 win for the new Champions.

Surely not a good game to throw the youngsters into. The crowd will be a tad partisan and we would be just party poopers if put in a shift and ran them off the park. Old heads for this one it's a bit like a testimonial. Maybe we'll have Rooney playing??
No real value in this game. We will roll over.

It will still somehow be 4-2-3----------------------1
