Brighton are crap and every Everton side ever should be walloping the no marks.

I just realized Potter is their manager. Now I recall who will be playing and I agree it won’t be easy points but being at Goodison hopefully is the impetus to have a good performance. I’m assuming fans are still allowed at the game?

?Just wanted to say thanks a lot for all the kind messages last night. It was a late one for me, didn't get to bed until after 3am. I opened a bottle of bubbly at midnight and obviously couldn't waste any. Feel surprisingly OK this morning considering how much I drank throughout the night (started on the rum and gingers about 4pm). Didn't even feel that drunk by the time I went to bed although I did crash the moment my head hit the pillow.
Last night was one of reflection for me. It was the first time in my 60 years that I have spent New Years Eve on my own. But when I thought about it I quickly realised that it was MY choice. I could have gone to the local pub or asked the neighbours around for a drink if I'd wanted company. The fact is, I chose to spend it on my own, there are probably many millions of people around today that spent New Year on their own and didn't have that choice. Yes I miss Cal. God how I miss her. But I was able to enjoy good food and even better wine last night, I live in a beautiful house in the best place in the world, and I have lots of family and friends who I know care about me. There are many many people who's situation in life is far worse than mine.
That is something that our good friend Karl showed me. When Cal passed away, it was the early hours of the morning and I was away at sea with no means of contacting friends and family. It was to the mental health thread on here that I turned and Karl was one of the many of you who reached out to me and offered support. He continued to be there for me, as did many of you, but it was only when I happened across this thread that I realised what he was going through himself, and what a truly selfless and generous person he was At the time I was probably slipping into depression and it really did give me the kick I needed to sort myself out.
I'm not one for making new year resolutions, but this year I'll kind of make an exception. My life going forward is in my own hands and I am very fortunate in that regard. My future will be determined by the decisions I make, and my resolution is to try and always make the right decisions, and to always try and remain positive.
For now can I just say a very big thank you to you guys and especially to Messy. Because most of my friends and family are back in Liverpool, this thread is where I turn for just general camaraderie and chit chat. and I don't think you'll ever understand just how important you all are to me at the moment. I guess this thread goes a long way to filling the void in my life left by Cal's passing.
Love and best wishes for a prosperous and happy 2022 to all of you.

Hate to be the one to tell you mate, but if they play even half as well as they did away to Chelsea on Wednesday, then we'll probably lose by 2 or 3.

It’s that train station mate. Falmer. It’s murder when you go there.
I will give one of their younger ‘firm’ credit though. He looked the business and didn’t expect a compliment off a mid 40’s fella with a dubious northern accent about his clothing, and indeed my knowledge on such. Had a chat and he was sound.

I have added 25 to tonight’s lucky numbers. For a chance of winning $500 million ??? I got this lottery habit from my nana, she always dreamed of winning it. Here in the US a ticket is only $2 so while the chance of winning is minimal so is the investment.
Good morning all ,I hope all are well ,Special mention to mrs M on getting a good report from the doctor .It is still dark hear so judgement of the weather is to be left until later .It will be nice to see us today and although I never will want benitez as the manager ,I think he might clear out the chaff as we all wanted ,I do like the idea of a young team of hungry players ,just like Howard brought us .COYB
They are Sassy and , I can't believe I'm saying this , I'm making my debut this season.
Long story short - I said I wouldn't go to Goodison whilst Benitez was in charge thinking that he wouldn't last more than half a season. Don't think that will be the case now with his power grab , ousting Brands and Moshiri have apparently fallen for him , hook , line and sinker . Sooooooo yesterday when a mate said he had a spare ticket I was sorely tempted and with the weather being so good ( fair weather supporter me ) , not drinking for January ( so I have an excuse not to go into crowded pub ) and not seeing anyone over Christmas / New Year , I thought why not - gave into temptation and agreed to go.
Need to dig out my COVID passport , a couple of masks and I'll be there.
I'm expecting Brighton to play some decent football , have 70% possession and hopefully DCL nicks a goal and we hang on - It's Benitezball ! If not I'll be back on the booos.
Your intrepid reporter , taking Covid risks will report in full on the game later. Interestingly , I'm pretty sure that it will be the first time in absolutely years that I will have watched the Blue boys stone cold sober.

Morning everyone. Wasn't online yesterday, felt a bit crappy, stomachs been off a few days plus I've been downloading. I'm ok though nothing serious. I don't really come on on my phone a lot so if I don't come on, chances are I'm gaming or using the PC. Thanks for asking mate.
Happy New Year everyone.
Good to hear from you fella
