Saturday football

[Coffee one sugar]

NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1230)
Forest are still within shouting distance of the runners up spot. Brighton are not, but could make the Euro Conference at a push. A big push. Home win.

BOURNEMOUTH vs LIVERPOOL (1500)
The Cherries are one point behind Man City, which is pretty good going with three months of the season to go. Pool will win the title. But Bournemouth have the bit between their teeth, which makes this a fascinating fixture. Don’t assume that Pool will win, although that’s the sensible shout. Beware: corker ahead. Draw.

EVERTON vs LEICESTER CITY (1500)
Well, David Moyes seems to have turned the Toffees’ fortunes around, at least in the minds of the blue side of Liverpool. The Foxes, meanwhile, are in deep shit, although not quite as deep as the three sides below them. Draw.

IPSWICH TOWN vs SOUTHAMPTON (1500)
Nineteenth plays twentieth. Both will be going hell for leather at Portman Road this afternoon. Ooh er, Missus. Draw.

NEWCASTLE UNITED vs FULHAM (1500)
Time for Fulham to get some decent points on the board? On yer bike. Home win.

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs ASTON VILLA (1730)
The accents. Above all, those accents. Away win.


SUNDAY

BRENTFORD vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (1400)
Brentford have an enviable home record. Spurs are languishing in the brown stuff. Home win.

MANCHESTER UNITED vs CRYSTAL PALACE (1400)
Lowly Man U are at last starting to get their stuff together. But Palace will still provide stiff opposition. Home win.

ARSENAL vs MANCHESTER CITY (1630)
Well now. Home win. The tea leaves say so.


MONDAY

CHELSEA vs WEST HAM UNITED (2000)
Oh bollocks. You know what’s going to happen. Chelsea will look to continue their push for a top-four finish or higher. The Blues have shown flashes of brilliance but have also struggled with consistency. Expect them to dominate possession and look to control the game through their midfield. We're likely to sit deep, absorb pressure, and hit on the break. The gaffer is reportedly 'hopeful' that Bowen will return this evening. If so, he'll probably be pivotal to our performance. Will that be enough to take all the points? A decent display of resilient counter attacking could be key. Nevertheless... Home win.


WEDNESDAY

EVERTON vs LIVERPOOL (1930)
Home advantage? No fucking chance. But don't expect too many goals. Away win.

[Mad Ferret]

Wolves looking good. Can see them above us soon enough.

[Westside]

Looking down …
Everton were always pulling clear though not probably at this rate but defeats for Ipswich & Leicester are welcome
A home defeat by Southampton is a disaster for Ipswich
Villa beating Wolves will keep everyone 10 pts behind 
35 pts or even 32 may be enough
Get that & start thinking about 2025/26

Twice in the last 4 seasons, all 3 relegated teams had less than 30 points. Can easily see that happening this season. 18th place in the spread betting markets, is now 27 - 28.5 points.

[Sir Alf]

Haha 

[El Scorchio]

Why dont we get players?

Fixed that for you

[Sir Alf]

Just seen Wolves new signing, what a name, Agbadou. Why dont we get players with names like that?   The singing of his name would be great in honor to those giants of music Black Lace

Coffee, you're a week early for the Everton/Pool game.

[Mad Ferret]

95% of Brighton fans stay till the end.

Proper fans unlike our pathetic mob, most of whom would be half way back to Essex.

Away fans?  You've obviously never been to an away game with West Ham

 

 

Yep the away fans. It’s the same old lot that get tickets for most away games, as it’s a closed shop. Sing Bubbles 800 times a game, and leave early to get back home.

Funny how the best atmospheres are undesirable games like Newcastle on a Monday night where the regulars sell their tickets, or cup games where there are more tickets available for non-regulars to get hold of.

[fraser]

Why don’t all the Moyes lovers fuck off and support Everton if he means so much to you? It’s getting fucking boring hearing about him constantly.

Just makes me laugh that in his first game against Villa every man and his dog was on here laughing cos they lost, yet when he turns it round and wins his next 3, everyone’s gone into hiding

I said the minute he took on that job that he’d keep Everton up at a canter.

It actually looks like they’ll finish above us.

Anyone would have kept them up, how did your BFS will keep WBA up at a canter prediction go? 

Oh I know you left the site.. 

[Percy Dalton]

Corruption at it's finest at Bournemouth

Would agree with your sentiments Iron D but you do know that your response will only encourage more of the same?

Irritating people makes some posters feel powerful, gives them a sense of elevation or superiority over others. The "need" for that sense of power or superiority is a whole other discussion but lets say its often because of the opposite feeling they have and deep down feelings of inferiority, inadequacy and irrelevance.  Its the whole basis for "trolling" on social media according to most studies. One of the downsides of the internet I suppose is that it is exposing a widespread mental health crisis 

 

[side effect]

It's only spurs and Leicester they played and although they beat Brighton they had 7 put pass them today.
When I supported west ham up to many gate if you told me we would employ managers like allardyce and moyes I would have thought you were buffering

[northbankfrank]

Why would anyone want to support Everton?  They've had less than 50% possession in the first half.  Nobody here liked us winning under Moyes with under 50% possession.

[Coffee one sugar]

Mad Ferret and Ladysmith, kindly fuck off.

[Iron Duke]

[Sir Alf]

The Moyes ”new manager bounce” and organisation now he has Irvine again as assistant will last a while but next season is more the challenge imo assuming they are still up against the PSR limits? 

[kylay]

Outrageous penalty decision for Liverpool. 

[Mike Oxsaw]

It really does make you wonder where we would be this season had we retained Moyes.

I think we would’ve been battling for Europe again.

"I think we would’ve been battling for Europe again."

Is the equivalent of:

"If we hadn't left the EU when we did, every UK citizen would have been a Sterling millionaire by now".

[Mad Ferret]

Everton a point behind us.

[Fauxstralian]

I think 12% possession
P23 W0 D0 L23 F 0 A 69 Pts 0

2-0 up in 6 mins under Pep Moyes

[Mad Ferret]

Everton 1 up already.

Moyes has absolutely transformed them in a matter of weeks.
