COYB's lets take the three(some) points!!

Surprised it's taken this long for someone to make a joke about

The greatest player England has ever produced, well Gareth Barry, is back isn't he?
Thats a big plus as my god we need a result here. Hope Baines plays.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Nice one, bison head.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

They aren't arsed for this one, and lukaku wants CL footie, best way for that to happen is a brace to drive up the suitors. 1-3 to the good guys

Remember when we played them on the first game of the season and we were all excited. Then a lot of their fans came on here and got banned. Then we drew and realised it was probably going to be the same dross again for the rest of the season. Sniff.

I'd take a point- sad isn't it!

As for the wings I really don’t know. Deulofeu looks dead dangerous but only good for one half of football before he’s trying to gulp air like a fish washed up on Formby beach. .

If the fish is technically in more air than he's ever experienced, is he really gulping for water?

Either way the fish is probably in better form than Everton currently.

At massive risk of Everton related fish puns here. @The Esk.

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

Everton 3-0 unbeaten rest of the season

Sorry Elton.......

Away to Watford on Grand National day. Let's hope Everton can start well and reach the finishing post with all 3 points. Joe Royle's birthday today, and at the moment it seems that even at 67, he'd be the second best striker at the club if he were on the playing staff.

The clash of the teams that run out to Z Cars, which we had first, we see the return of Gareth Barry, who we certainly play better with. There's talk of protest at this game, but once that's out of the way I hope everyone can see that for 90 minutes it'll be best to support the 11 lads in blue.

Happy memories of '84, and with another FA Cup date at Wembley looming, is this an omen, or are we getting a bit ahead of ourselves?

If anyone can find a picture of the "SORRY ELTON I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY CALL US THE BLUES" banner from 1984 then please post it.

You can even get it on Twitter;


I'm going Everton 3-1.

I came up with that banner idea and helped make it for a young lad who's mum I worked with.

I think we'll get done up like a kipper.
2-0 Watford. A glimmer of hope from Barry coming back in but a fish rots from the head down. Martinez out

I remember all that but I also remember being very impressed with Watford (I thought they were the better side against us) and they didn't dissapoint. They've had an excellent season and seem to have a v good manager (I wouldn't want him here though).

 

[raithrovers94]

I hope Martinez don't get confused when z cars

 

[Wat Tyler]

I hope Martinez don't get confused when z cars

If we get beat he will say the players thought they were playing at home and instantly felt a phenomenal pressure lol

 

[Yorkie]

@chicoazul tried to insult young people and wools within the first 30 seconds, back on form.
Speaking as both, I must add that TRIED is the operative word.

10-0 to Watford? Are they still in the cup? Coyb.
