All Hail the K1 Man Mountain for overcoming a nepalling injury.

Stunning, just stunning, what a first half.

but they're crap without the wingers, does that Martinez have any idea.....




somebody looks a bit of a tit right now

 

[angrysoba]

Nice to see the forum so happy anyway! Well done posters - keep it up!

Its that camo strip, Southampton cant see us!

 

[Hibbertinho]

Maybe..........we are only rubbish when we play in blue!

Or we should fly more illegible banners before games

 

[Chang Elephant]

Well in the plane banner, it's galvanised the team

 

[Muggins]

2-0 up and playing pretty well at half time.

What will happen now?

I'm guessing Everton will return to being Everton.

 

[HuddersfieldToffee]

I'd happily see a lopsided 4-2-3-1 with Lukaku and Kone playing a fluid role, swapping positions. Maybe replacing Arouna with Del if we need mega-width

Brilliant 1st half memories of the season before last rom and ross superb.
Going to have a cheeky bet on 2-2 though after the 1st 2 games of last season ended with that score.

 

[Everton_Gary]

A big difference when Lukaku has a partner up top. Hope Martinez realizes this and sticks to it. Everton need to come out after half and keep pushing for a third goal to put the game to rest. Don't sit back and defend please, begging to give up goals if they do that.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Time to call on what I like to call the Chalice of Victory...

I'll be filling it with Peroni and throwing several down my neck as a sacrifice to the Footballing Gods to forgive us for playing no nautral wingers and to give us victory today.

I told you lids, never lets me down does the Chalice of Victory, need to make sure I pour several more bottles of Peroni in it in the 2nd half or it could go tits up.

That's my excuse anyway

 

[The Equaliser]

4 goals this season so far and Kone and supplied 2 of them and scored 1.

Sometimes solutions to problems are staring you right in the face.

 

[tommye]

This has been very good but we shouldn't be falling over ourselves yet, Southampton have been dreadful.

nothing to do with us completely outplaying them, it's because Southampton are bad.


ok mate

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I know we're up by two and Southampton will be looking to push more but we need to be careful trying to play possession to draw them out...keep pushing the play and be smart. COYB
