They were more hard done by against Man City. it was a clear and obvs error - even carragher shut up! I don't know how the var let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the hype around them over the last few years and tgey have done absolutely feck all since Graham Sharp and Andy Gray were banging them in over 20 years ago!!!! They seem to think they are obe of the Big Boys but they are nothing. Be great scenes if they were relegated! I too want to see them relegated. However, some of their fans gave up tickets to leicester fans when we won the league - so I feel bad for them. The truth is that they have not been good enough and made the wrong calls.

They've comfortably survived though, so fair play to them. Yeah hopefully Brentford go down next season. Fulham up as well next season so yet another club from London.

I thought he couldn’t wait to go down ……. clearly trying to make sure they get the next one …….. we are pretty good at giving away pens ….. personally yes. if it was at the other end it gets given and that’s what’s annoying. Twice as likely given with var. Evertons barely got checked 🤷♂️ didn’t even hold up the play just allowed the game to restart instantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so theres intense ending to the season. Interestingly on last day Burnley are at home to Newcastle, while Everton travel to Arsenal. Last time a team went to Arsenal on the last day was Watford... the outcome.. Watford went down. Could depend on whether Arsenal have already secured 4th place by then and have nothing more to play for by being 4 points or more ahead of Spurs and West Ham which looks fairly do-able. Newcastle could be neck and neck with us or / and Wolves for 8th or 9th place by then and see that as something worth playing for but I'd still fancy Burnley to get at least a point if they need it.

My mate was in that end and he said some of them were also "cvnts" to the Leicester supporters. Were moaning and whinging about the Leicester fans being in there and trying to kick off with some of them when we scored the goals and throughout the celebrations. So some of them might have been okay, some of them typical scouse shithousers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hankey Posted 25 April 2022 Share Posted 25 April 2022 Everton, apparently, want answers over non awards of penalty. Get over it, it happens in most matches throughout the season. Clutching at straws because they are in the bottom 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 25 April 2022 Share Posted 25 April 2022 That scouser was diving way too much from the off, he needs to read Aesops fable. Maybe it was a pen, but he needs to not dive so much because it will have an effect on the referee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Everton are relegated I think that would mean arsenal were the only team never to have been out of the top division in English football (I think) . That might be something worth claiming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phenom Posted 25 April 2022 Share Posted 25 April 2022 If Everton goes down, they might go down again the year after to League One. They are a mess financially and that will only get worse in the Championship. They're doing even worse financially than Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 25 April 2022 Share Posted 25 April 2022 1 hour ago, FoyleFox said: Sold for a tidy profit.......which I'm not complaining about as one sold to me One of my colleagues is an Everton STH and asked me where he should go for a safe drink pre-match. I advised the Counting House but he wasn't happy when I caught up with him a few days afterwards. Apparently, he was targeted for his ticket as soon as his scouse accent was evident and didn't want to sell in case of trouble resulting in the ticket being traced back to him. However, they wouldn't take no for an answer and he was persued all the way to the stadium only to find the away corner littered with King Power shirts (as he put it). Being a typical Scouser, he was probably happy as it gave him something to whinge about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
