Monday is a holiday in the US so I'll be watching from the beginning. Can't usually get home for Monday fixtures so I'm excited to see the 3-0 pasting we are going to lay on West Brom!
It might be a holiday for you, but not for us in the South. I have a very busy work schedule tomorrow and will have to content myself with occasional visits to the BBC website to see the score.

This is the club's way of saying that we won't be bringing in a striker to replace Eto'o during the January window.

OK. I'm going to run a multidimensional regression analysis of points versus three independent variables: (i) home game versus away game; (ii) current position of each opponent in the league table; and (iii) whether or not McCarthy played. Then I'll do the same for whether Mirallas played. Let's see if the numbers really do show a dependency on these two players.

There seems to be less emotion to those who don't attend. Sort of a hobby.
Do you expect fans who live thousands of miles away to have season tickets? Is the new definition of a fan someone who attends games? Just ridiculous.

For the record I don't think we will go down but that does not mean we are not in the midst of a relegation battle
We have been shite for the first 21 games of the season and have been dumped out of both cups at the first hurdle, that is the sign of a poor side
5 of the next 6 fixtures look pretty tricky and I can't see us getting too much out of them
That would leave just 11 games to save ourselves
The last 3 games have given me hope that we are starting to turn the corner but Monday night is simply a must win game
If we are still in this predicament with 8 games to go then I think there is every chance we will go down
We need to turn it around now , starting with West Btom
You chose only negative examples. What about a team ranked third in its Europa group that finished top? Is that the sign of a poor side? How many people here, earlier in the season, stated that they'd take 17th if it meant we won the Europa league? Is that all forgotten?
It's nonsense to be talking about relegation battle with half the games played. To suggest that we have tough games ahead is also pointless: We have played each team once and we have to play them all again. Worry when the season is 80% over and we're in the bottom three. Until then, it's mid-season, with the final stages of the Europa to come.

President Obama has made up for being MIA last weekend. John Kerry visited the French to give them all, quote, "a big hug". And then they all held hands while James Taylor sang Kumbaya. How nice.
"Monseur Hollande. On behalf of the American people, maybe I can present you with this compilation of songs by your new friend, James. It will fit nicely alongside the compilation of President Obama's speeches that the Queen of England gave you last year as a Christmas present."

Man, there are some crap names in that list! Did I read that correctly - Glen Johnson?

It's as if he has major OCD... Everything has to be perfect but whilst he's trying to execute this, opposition nick the ball off him......then he jogs back.
This was very evident in the match against West Ham. Games are 95% guts and only 5% glory, something I suspect he still needs to learn. The most valuable players are not the headline makers but those who consistently put in a shift.

One of Madrid's highest earners?

The most concerning statement in that article is that Barkley decides to play it safe if the crowd give him stick for taking a risk. Frankly, he should ignore the crowd.

The fact there are any restrictions at all is counter-productive. The free market works; protectionism, no matter what the form, eats away at competitiveness. The overall quality of the Premier League will drop if we keep insisting that foreign players are hurting local players. The real answer is to invest in English youth.

Party pooper.

You're the type of person who inspires T-shirts such as therapist.com.

No rumours that I know of, but this guy has been tearing up the Scottish Prem this year for Dundee United. Don't we have some time type of loose association with them?
-
Only when we're against the wall do we seem to really kick into gear. Maybe, at kickoff, the scoreboard should tell the players we're one down and have only ten men.

Everton 2-1 WBA
Lukaku

I get the score right, but you don't, yet we get the same amount of points, I call favouritism! :shaking fist:
Just kidding, Steve
.If only Lukaku had scored rather than Naismith. Then you'd be running away with it!

are you an Apple or an android man MC?,
I think he's on tablets myself.
It's unfortunate that McGeady was sent off last night, especially since, as most noted, he took the first yellow on the chin to save the team. Plus, plenty were praising him at half-time for his effort and commitment and contribution. All that was turned on its head when an over-enthusiastic challenge cost him a sending off. There's no doubt that he's inconsistent and can be frustrating, but I can see definite signs of improvement. He doesn't deserve much of the flak he's getting.
Maybe Mirallas can teach him a couple of new tricks. In return, he could teach Mirallas the offside rule.

I'm surprised no one has posted to this thread after today's game. I was working and couldn't watch but, by all accounts, Robles played a blinder. He's taken so much flak ever since he joined the team, so maybe it's time to now give the lad credit. He's earned the right to continue in goal, and he even has the chance to keep the position when Howard is back.

That is going to be great for teak spirit.
He's become part of the furniture.

He has a history of leading rebellions which I pointed out in the thread before we signed him. Could he be stiring shit?
I hope that he and the club have been speaking to each other on good terms and that he simply has been told that the club is prefering Lukaku in the lone striker role. Allowing Etoo to leave while freeing up wages.
Strange signing to begin with if you ask me. We had just spent a shit load on a striker in a 1 striker system. Did they really think that Etoo would be happy playing behind the striker or sitting on the bench? Did Everton tell him that thats what they wanted from him?
Someone posted a message about a week ago about Eto'o potentially being disruptive to loyalty and team spirit. It was all hearsay - someone who knows someone - but it would explain why a move to Sampdoria could be happening.
