BlakeySFC Posted 29 December, 2013 Share Posted 29 December, 2013 Feeling a bit more positive about this game after Sunderland managed to get a win there and our performance at Cardiff. I still think we'll lose though, but think we'll give a good account of ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Tony Posted 29 December, 2013 Share Posted 29 December, 2013 Another tough game, but Everton are far from invincible despite their recent form. They've picked up a few suspensions and I've got a sneaky feeling that with J-Rod on fire, Lambo back amongst the goals recently and possible return of Osvaldo we will win 3-2 (Lukaku 14, Osman 31, Rodriguez 26, Lambert 53, Osvaldo 87) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 29 December, 2013 Share Posted 29 December, 2013 My son in law is a Everton fan, he tells me that Clattenberg has not reffed at Goodison for 6 (?)seasons due to some problem. Expect no favours from him today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 29 December, 2013 Share Posted 29 December, 2013 Just cant see how we will keep a clean sheet in this one. they had 25+ shots against sunderland with mannone having a great game. Gazzaniga is just no where near good enough to win us points we will have to score at least 2 to get a point 2-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 29 December, 2013 Share Posted 29 December, 2013 (edited) never liked them, even before Highbury in 84. Everton have never been really popular amongst the general populace, they once had a bad reputation for all sorts of things, buying up players so that other teams couldn't get them, there were rumours (and I'm talking a long time back here) that Catholics would never get a game there (don't know how true that was, never researched it) and then there was the coloured players thing which ended with the signing of Daniel Amokachi in the mid 90s ending a spell of about 20 years without one. now whether that was coincidence or by design I couldn't say..

Special K Posted 29 December, 2013 Share Posted 29 December, 2013 Dislike Everton almost as much as Skates. From their poncey nickname to their overblown sense of self worth via their inferiority complex with The Proper Scouse and their self delusion at not being taken seriously with footballs elite, they annoy me. Love it when they get worked over by anyone. Can't stand watching images like that powderpuff owner crying his eyes out when the Sweat left then for the Mancs. I want us to batter them.

Saints boy in Leeds Posted 29 December, 2013 Share Posted 29 December, 2013 Author's going to poly judging by his grammar. Just a pointless post about us that shows he (or most probably she) has zero footballing knowledge, if he thinks they will smash us that is. They may win but they should do due to being at home and being higher up in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polytechnique (also known as X) is France's finest school, a sort of ancient military academy which takes only the brightest and best of the brightest and best, a sort of CalTech or MIT where they pay you to go, whereas in the UK I assume it's a sort of remedial affair for those who can't even make a scruffy tech uni.

Of course we no longer have Polytechnics in the UK. Labour, in the 90s I believe, allowed them all to call themselves 'Universities' in order to make higher education harmonise with the Comprehensive education 'ideal'. Now every one-horse town and suburb boasts a 'University', dolling out worthless junk degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 29 December, 2013 Share Posted 29 December, 2013 Some area's we apparently can improve on, don't think we could disagree too much, creating chances, offsides, one on ones, concede fewer fouls and win more aerial duels. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1902708-southampton-5-areas-the-saints-can-improve-on-in-2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
