I really hope it’s not too serious an injury.

Seamus should have blown his nose before that interview.

pundits all agree it’s not a red.

The agenda really does seem to exist against us by the FA PL.

I really hope we smash them in the replay, Hughes in particular was a piece of shit mouthing off to Dom.

I know what you mean, but I think Harrisons best games have been central. He can run and run and run, might as well have it doing the work centrally 

That’s what I was thinking

DCL looks completely isolated when Doucoure doesn’t play. I know Danjuma doesn’t offer anything defensively but can’t understand why he hasn’t been given a go behind DCL while Doucs has been out 

I think you answer your own question, Harrison is better defensively and would be better suited, but whoever took Harrison’s role would need to help out Paterson

Right before I sign off to avoid the usual shite that I can already smell lurking...

That was piss poor.

From everyone. Dyche. The players. The tea lady.

It's not often we have lost and can say we were well off it, today is one if those times though.

Deserved nothing.

The players do need to keep their belief though. It's too easy to let confidence slip and let little petty arguments creep in on the pitch.

I'm sure Dyche will remind them of the good they've done this season. And hopefully tear up the 5 at the back blueprint!

We'll be sound this season. We were always going to hit a sticky patch. We're in it.

Stop this common sense right now, that’s not what TT is for

I’m not going to get into an argument with anyone, but I will say my bit, he was manic at times last night, I saw him get hurl back into his goal by Tarks, berating all around, taking too long on clearances, and he made some first class saves, does he need to be manic to perform?

I continue to be underwhelmed by him, he coasted through the game tonight and shied away from many tackles he should have won. I looked like he was playing in the knowledge he’s moving on in January. I’d take anything over 70m and invest in two players who show proper commitment rather than waving his arms up in the air at the crowd.

. I can understand if he wanted to move on with his career, but certainly, Tottenham was a poor choice for him.

That’s very true, I was surprised at his choice of club also.

I’d agree with Romey on this, other than what he did bring was game changing actions, either goals or getting us going, he was the spark we needed on many occasions with his unpredictable style of play. McNeil did similar in the latter half of last season but more predictable. 
Whilst he does seem to have a lot of respect for the club, he wants to play at a higher level than where we are currently, this plus how much Spurs would want make it highly unlikely, a loan until end of the season, yes please!

His work rate is good, which fits with Dyches templates, but so far he hasn’t produced as much as I thought he would do, he seemed to be more productive at Leeds, something I hoped he would bring here. Can we afford £20m and does he provide value for money, vs Danjuma I’d say yes, Danjuma is too much of a loose cannon and plays for self glory rather than the team.

We can dream 

Gomes, to come on and produce a performance like that deserves MOTM, hopefully it’s not a one off.

My wife and myself both tested in October, I’m certain we caught it on the 919 bus back into town feet the Bournemouth game, we were sitting near to a young bloke who was coughing all the time.

We didn’t feel too bad, a bit of a cough and tired, so tested just in case, we were positive for 5 days or so.

I think and hope you should be clear by Christmas Day, hope it’s not hitting you too hard.

Dyche was saying they’ve been practising pens a lot in training and he has done the same stupid hop and skip routine every time and it’s worked for him in training

Time to put a stop to it then, surprised they haven’t already.

Was supposed to go to this but seems I picked up covid from one of the United or Chelsea and that's gone to bronchitis so I'll be watching from bed

 

Hope your better soon, enjoy watching from your, it’s going to be cold and windy tonight, but I’m confident we’ll get the result we want.

It’s seems strange to me that when things are going relatively well football wise it goes quite quiet on here, that could be because we feel in much happier place and post a lot more when things aren’t going as well and we’ve got something to kick off about. I don’t know why I wrote this but hopefully it will give some something to kick off about and wake this place up a bit

Ok I hate all the Christmas songs on the radio throughout December, who with me

I don't know about anyone else but it's pissing me off hearing people in the media now saying "Everton have got back the lost 10 points" and similar nonsense statements.

No, those points are gone and we're currently being robbed of having European aspirations.

They’re not lost points, it’s a deduction, lost points to me means we didn’t get a win or draw. Still fucks me off though, plus all the crap about it’s been good for us.

Another clean sheet. It's as much about organization as it is about specific players. Having said that, Tarkowski is immense.

He talks non stop to the whole team, he’s the glue that’s keeping the unity IMO

Big Mick, it could so easily have been a banana skin game for him, ( and Godfrey and Patterson) solid and secured the win, having a team with confidence around him helps so much.
