That may be so but there are plenty of instances of our corners not beating the first man (it's not just us). Let's improve on that for a start and you never know what could happen!

The same for us here in Australia - a 7.45pm kick off can mean 3.45am our time.

Roberto and the players have a great base with things to improve on. One of these things has to be corners. By and large our corners are shocking and you can count on the fingers of one hand the number of goals we've scored from corners in the past few seasons. Our attacking play means we often get 10+ in a match, how often do you see us go close from one?

Have they run out of more now? A recent tweet says strong sales have led to availability issues. Were they not expecting to make any sales?! Why can't we have competent people looking after these things?

@Rubecola - thanks for the suggestion - I'll be sure to say hi. @Patto - Epstein's looks perfect but it seems to be booked out that night :-(

Thanks lads. I'm thinking about this place. Banjo I'm only in town for a day and will meet up with a workmate from Southport so won't be lonely. The Banjo looks close.

Yeah, he was. Now not doing much. He came into work the other day for a coffee. Another mate was interviewing him - we work for the newspaper. Sorry - calling him Mike has become a habit. A few years ago he told us he really hated 'Mick' because he thinks it sounds like a dog food. I'm also looking at the Premier Inn - Queens Drive, West Derby. How long a walk is that?

Thanks Louis and Mike O So there aren't any B&Bs close by anyone would recommend? Mike Lyons lives out here - he's going to try to get me over to Finch Farm. Also, where in the ground should I sit to get the best experience?

Hi lads, I know this probably gets asked all the time but I can't find a relevant thread so here goes. I live in Perth, Western Australia and will be visiting family in Belfast then making the pilgrimage to Goodison for a ground tour and the match v Villa on April 2. Can anyone suggest somewhere reasonably priced but close to Goodison I can stay on April 1? Apparently The Winslow Hotel doesn't have rooms. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Niall

I thought Fellaini did well. I'm gutted but very proud. I can't believe some are questioning that our players gave their all.

Louis, sadly I think we stand alone on 8. Newcastle are on 7.

I hope so - on all of the above.

It seems he picked up a dead leg just before the end of the first half.

Some good signs tonight but plenty of extremely frustrating parts. The guy is lumbering but did get into effective space at times and tried to push through as he fought for the ball. However, when we don't have the ball, he is a liability, slow to get back, rarely puts a foot in, looks like he's running underwater and may as well not be on the pitch when we are defending.

I thought Fellaini was merely average tonight and diabolical when we didn't have the ball. Jags for me.
