Zoo 2.0

I'm sure people have said this/have been feeling this but relegation is the least of our worries. Even if we survive this season, we're a club on life support. The current owner doesn't want to own the club and those that do can't afford it (and if they did have ownership, would probably be busy asset stripping anyway). It's hard to see where any positivity looks realistic with Everton, it's like we're fighting with all our might to take one step forward whilst an almighty wind is pushing us seventeen steps back.

I just have no clue what to expect with Chelsea. Showed great resilience to come back against United, then shit the bed today against Sheff Utd

Chelsea are just weird, like really fucking weird. Never seen a team so up and down as them - flip a coin to see if they win next week.

Massive point that, great to see DCL on the score sheet as he doesn't half take some shit. I know it was from twelve yards but if he can get into any sort of scoring form it'll be welcomed, especially as the business end of the season is in full flow. Anything we can do to keep Luton at bay.

Always great to take points of Newcastle too, both because they're a weird breed of horse punching irritants and because it means that goblin Anthony Gordon will go to bed with a tear in his eye - hope he stands on a piece of Lego the daft gimp.

Crystal Palace's official account have confirmed that he's had tests and in a stable condition, so it does sound legit. 

Awkward as I guess they won't sack him while ill, but they've obviously decided to sack him and hire this new bloke. 

I can confirm that it's a new badge, I've seen the leaked image and basically Rupert's Tower has been replaced with a gavel to symbolise our recent history and NSNO has been replaced with "Giveth thou ten back ye twats"

It's lovely.

I've thought from the beginning (and still do) that no points will be returned. Giving anything back would admit fault on the Premier League's side and that's just not going to happen.

Manchester United 2-0 up at Newport, yet now at 2-2 with just over 25 minutes to go. Even if they go on to win, that's quite an embarrassment.

This is really sad to hear, like many Bill was a massive part of the forum when I joined which was around 15 years ago now. He was one of those few special members that seemed to be part of the fabric of the place, as @c1982 said I remember he had the TT Emergency Board so that we could keep booting off about Everton if this place ever went down - I think that shows the work he put in behind the scenes. The fire that he showed in his posting was no doubt from a deep love of Everton and as others have said, not necessarily a bad thing at all. 

Hoping that Bill is at peace, condolences to his family and of course @patto.

Andy Townsend is unbeatable as a commentator.

He's one of those people that would trap you in the corner at a house party and talk through his top 10 roundabouts.

Genuinely torn about whether I'd take a 0-0 and no carnage or us finishing with seven men and we get to put the likes of Tielemans, Douglas Luiz and whoever else fancies it out for the season. 

Luiz has been running round all afternoon looking like Drake from Wish, someone that certainly blows himself kisses in the morning when he wakes up. 

Games gone soft.

Add Youri Tielemans to the list of people that I hope stand on an upturned plug when he gets home - little bitch.

Coote has been guessing his decisions all afternoon too, thinking about what jam he's going to pick later rather than paying attention to the game.

David Coote is the type of guy that has a collection of rare jams in his kitchen and after a game he goes home, taps his finger against his chin and whispers "rude not to" to himself before picking one to have with a cup of tea and a cracker. 

Real wet wipe.

That twat pawson again, this time in VAR, he would not send the shits C/B off, but once again got involved to send our player off, we should seriously complain to the P/L about him being involved in any of our games.

You really think it's just Pawson? I wouldn't trust any of the PGMOL to run a bath.

I think it's actually boss that they parody themselves so consistently each week. What a bunch of incompetent wet wipes . Really hope the PGMOL's next buffet is laced with laxatives.

It's only Twitter rumours but yeah, it's being tweeted by a few different outlets. Six months deal until the end of the season.

If it's his level then why is he dominating midfield against far better sides?  

Luton lost btw, they're also 18th in the league. The love towards Barkley is simply emotional, he isn't and never has been anything more than an OK midfielder.

It's been coming that, credit to Pickford for getting something on it but it turned into a bit of a lottery as to who would get there first. 

Still time to get back into this, but it's been a disappointing first 30.

this is the player Barkley has always promised to be... he has a manager who isn't bullying him - running games. 

Luton is about his level, he's a very mediocre footballer. The fact that he played with Chelsea, Villa and Nice without sticking around shows just how bang average he is. Anyone with an ounce of ability could look half decent at Kenilworth Road.

OTT: For the Thinking Evertonian ...

No, it will be my first PL game, coming from Zagreb,  Croatia. I got one ticket from a friend (seasonal). It would be good to be find one more ticket, so I dont have to travel alone...

Hope you get sorted - as a side note, Croatia is one of my favourite countries. It's absolutely beautiful.

Dyche needs to get a grip of Pickford.  Tarkowski is having to constantly talk him down from being a prick. 

God forbid our players have a bit of fight in them. Jesus wept.
