Match Thread Luton Town v Everton - Chat, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Tipp blue]

Win the remaining games to go up another position, any merit payments are important to us...

 

[ADT]

Need to win if administration is a possibility this season

 

[degsy]

This is it Evertonians
The big one
The huge relegation six pointer we’ve all been dreading away at the mighty Luton Town
The mighty Luton Town who are really good at their fortress of Kenilworth Road (they’ve only won four games there all season)
…Seriously though, how relieved are you all to not give a damn about this one?

Thanks to FOUR back to back home victories (that’s right, the same amount Luton managed all season) we are safe, getting to enjoy another year of top flight football, the final at Goodison Park. Thanks to ownership, staff, management, financial, more made up FFP nonsense and player contract uncertainty it’s hard to tell what that season will look like but it’s a big relief after the nonsense we’ve had to endure off the pitch this season we’re safe with three games left, two of which should be, on paper, easy games.
If we want it, we should be able to beat Luton and Sheffield United with the pressure off and if we do that, Dyche will have earned us 50 points this season which in my opinion is impressive even without all the nonsense off the back of two dreadful campaigns/managers.

Personally I was behind Luton at the start of the season as it was a fairy tail adventure for them and it’s good to have a bit of diversity in the league but honestly now I’m just sick of commentators being up their arse whilst they’re getting destroyed by real teams. Watching them let in five against City I got second hand embarrassment from the commentary team desperately trying to talk them up before rat Barkley’s consolation goal so honestly, I’d rather see Forest or even Burnley stay up now - at least we normally get results against them!

Anyway, it’ll be nice to watch another game in total comfort, not really caring what the result is but hopefully we can stick it to these and help send them on their way.
We can be a superstitious bunch but whether you put our winning run down to:
Bouncing back from a dismal Chelsea away day
Dyche’s tracksuit (3/3)
ShibbyWiggles match previews (3/3)
Actually just having some decent home fixtures in a row for once
Or Gana learning to shoot for the first time in his career
…I want to wish you all a calm and relaxed final few games before we reach silly season and undoubtably start tearing our hair out about how we’re selling all our best players and replacing them with Holgate and Maupay coming back off loan
UTFT

Their confidence cant be too high after seeing Us gallop away this last week, so, for different reasons it might be a bit of a free hit for both teams.
so in the spirit 'Everton That'

1-0 Barkley

Let’s see what we play like with no pressure on.

Nice that theres little pressure on this now, Sky wouldve loved if we were in trouble for this one. Defend set pieces well and we should win, everyone gets chances against these.​

Barkley the new Radi Antic

Need to win if administration is a possibility this season

I doubt that is going to happen at all. Plus there is a cut off point for it to happen in the same season,otherwise it (Points) goes onto the next season

 

[Blue Willy]

When is that cut-off date?

 

[ADT]

When is that cut-off date?

Just had a look think its the 4th Thursday of March

 

[kenada_blue]

Lids will.have their feet up 100%

Keane to start.

Really want to give these a hiding. They've done 2 smash and grab games on us this season 2 of the worst results we've had (and we've had a few this season). Luton evoke memories of the mid-80's fixtures in the league and cup seen through blue tinted specs sadly we got a dose of reality. I just want us to pay them back. After all, they're the 'real victims' of Everton's points deductions...

Too late for that mate. We've had 2 days of carefree daydreaming and now there's 600 articles saying administration is back on the menu.

Back to being a must not lose high pressure winner takes all the end is nigh 6 pointer battle!!!

 

[DanEFC92]

Must win.

 

[Davideeyore]

administration is back on the menu

My eyes are getting worse I thought you said minestrone is back on the menu

 

[Doug from DC]

You'd be lucky to get 5 tickets Doug as it's at Lutons ground whose capacity is about 7, so once you let the managers in, the other 5 tickets are split to 4 tickets for the home fans and 1 ticket for Evertons away end.

yes, thank you. and I realize it's somewhat of a pipe dream. if we really want to go, we'd have to split up 2 - 2 - 1 and would still be lucky to find those seats!
