  1. 1. What are your thoughts on Sunday’s game? What team is David Moyes likely to select and what formation will he adopt? What weaknesses in United’s team will Moyes look to exploit? It's a shame they make it an early kick off, as the early games tend to be laxy-daisy which will encourage Moyes to sit back and roll over. Can't see the squad being much different from this, Moyes tends to be predictable. Howard Hibbert Jags Heitinga Neville Osman Gibson Fellaini Pienaar Cahill Jelavic Exploit the RB, love Rafael but he's not quite ready yet. Rio as he's very vulnerable against us. 2. What are your thoughts on Everton’s season to date? In recent years Everton have started the season slowly but there is a marked improvement during the second half of the season – why is this? Awful, simply not good enough. Moyes is too negative plays for the clean sheet and the hope we'll magically score if the midfield square the ball enough times. Once we're safe he opens up a bit and play a more natural game, that results in a top 4 form. 3. What are your thoughts on Darron Gibson? Has he impressed, surprised or disappointed? At a reported £1m (rising to £2m on appearances) is he proving to be a bargain? Worst player on a pitch that had Jay Spearing on last week. He done well in his first game, and put his best performance against Swansea. Mostly been a passenger with Fellaini doing the extra work. That said he's still better than expected, don't think he's fully match fit yet. Expect him to up his game next season after he's had a preseason with the club and no more hang ups on leaving you. 4. Who have been your standout players this season? And why? Distin, Heitinga, and Fellaini. They've had the hardest job, we havent went forward enough for the attacking players to stand out. Tim Howard is probs having his best season for the club as well. Distin and Heitinga just make for easier viewing, as Jags and Distin really are a shambles together. Fellaini is a boss. 5. What is the latest on Ross Barkley? How is he performing for the reserves? Are you still excited by his potential? In the papers today he's back on the bench Sunday. The club are working on his defensive side, he had missed last season after a leg break so had to catch up on defensive duties, still poor decision from Moyes as his creativity is something the team has craved this season. More so than I was with Rooney, although Moyes is doing his best to kill any form of hope in the youngsters. Think he's scared of losing him, as he did after Rooney got so much exposure.
  2. Open poll distorts the voting mechanism. Bilic said him for years, think he would only do well for 2/3 seasons though. Second choice (long-term option) would be AVB, think he would have gone on to win the champs league.
  3. It's hard to see past Sturridge, for another good English striker. Welbeck is just like Agbonlahor who shouldn't be near the squad either.
  4. Hypothetical say he's on 50k a week, the club won't be willing to fork it out for a player who won't be a regular. In my opinion though he would be, as even if he only started against the bottom half clubs and the last 20 mins against the others he'd make a big contribution 10 points easily, which would make us challenge for champs league at the moment. Keeping him off the pitchers of beer and on the football pitches every week is the only problem, which challenge Moyes clearly isn't up to.
  5. The thumb scene in The Wrestler. Can see why the Film4 adverts kept on going on about Mickey Rourke deserving an oscar for it.
  6. You're on a wind up, I'm not biting (I agree about with the 1st half, I'll admit I am a opinionated twat... or so am told)
  7. Berba and Hernandez must be livid when he plays, both have much better records, and both are much better players. All one foot, and even then he's average at best with that. Every time I watch him I wonder how he's on the pitch he's got nothing to his game. He must have won a competition or Ferguson is doing the nasty to his mum.
  8. Agree, just not with that one, he's shouldn't be any where near premiership team.
  9. Farts on mars bit made me laugh
  10. Thats why it called a movie and not a documentary. People are dumb and need a Jack and Rose, to fork over their notes.
  11. This headline made me laugh Everton’s Royston Drenthe: Rapper, Shagger, Occasional Footballer
  12. Not worth wasting your time using stats against a Pienaar fan, they don't believe in them as they never mention that touch to Baines 6 passes before a goal that should obviously be credited to Pienaar cos he is a footballing god
  13. At least they've got Shearers goal against us, RVN won goal of the season with a poxy run from the half way line against Fulham that season. would have liked Carbone or Zola nominated.
  14. He's awful, my mate who was 2 years younger always ran rings round him in school. In his only good season with Johnson, it was always him who cocked up when they conceded.
  15. The premier league has 4 champs league spots and 3 europa spots 5th in the league, Carling cup winner, Fa cup winner(as both finalist will be in europe this creates an extra spot for the league) Man u - champ league City - champ league Arse - champ league Chelsea - champ league Newcastle - europa via league position Spurs - europa via league position/facup Everton Liverpool - europa via league cup Sadly no thursday night football for us. Not mathmatically over yet though, if one of Spurs(12point gap) Newc(12) or Chelsea(10) lose all their games and we win all of ours. But i wouldnt bet on it. Little check and its 66/1 for us to finish top 6, opposed to 1/50 for it not to happen.
  16. should have booked Ribery for diving. Gave a few soft yellows and letting worst fouls go, complete lottery what he's gonna do.
  17. Howard Webb's yellow card inconsistency, lets stuff go then it's like he flips a mental coin giving them out randomly.
  18. Ferguson for success and longevity. Wenger outside chance for changing the philosophy of British football. Don't know why they bothered naming anyone else.
  19. 0:43 reminded me of Jenson Button haha
  20. Totally agree. He's one of the most promising cb's in the league, just unlucky for him we're strong in that position.
  21. Villa were at there best when they had him in the middle with Milner/Agbo and Young on the wings. I was surprised at how well he played in the middle. He's wasted on the wing just as Osman is for is.
  22. Gueye(44), Osman(42), and Pienaar(37) all got in the EA sports ppi team of the week, that premierleague.com use to base their bonus points. Gueye third top performer after Aguero and Maxi. We'd be 12th in the league based on the index
  23. I'm trying to be positive for this game, but Phil Neville versus Rafael and Valencia will severely dent any optimism left in any of us. He done well filling in there last week, but the pace of them 2 running at him will make for uneasy viewing.
  24. Evans is playing really well of late. Possibly he's a late bloomer and done an Osman, or he's just having a lucky run of form. Rio is gash though, has been for years. My friend the utd fan was trying to argue Rio carries Vidic . I'm hoping Rio plays to the right(if not i'd rather we play central to target him) as their right back is weak as well, probs the best suited game for our one dimensional left sided attack only game plan.
