Zoo 2.0

I'm in the Balcony and didn't see many leaving.

When you're in a run as bad as we have been, the performance doesn't really mean much IMO. Winning 1-0, 7-0, 8-4, 3-2 is meaningless compared to the three points and potential springboard that tonight has created. I think if we analyse the performance then there were definitely multiple areas for improvement, but just getting over the line was massive today.

Mystic Zoo at your service Unbelievable night, Goodison absolutely rocking and a real Dogs of War performance. Backs to the corner and we absolutely wiped the floor with Arsenal, take away two extremely marginal offsides and it's a 4-1 win. Can't really think too much about the performance - ears ringing, throat sore. Demarai Grayyyyyy Ole Oleeeeeeeeeee

Not a lot, looked like a mass exodus at first but by 30 seconds in they'd stopped leaving. Heard a few boos (not loud) for/from those leaving which were drowned out by the ground chanting for Everton. Two banners out, one the NSNO and the other saying "Time is up Bill" in the Upper Bullens.

It's seems like all of the decisions made in the Moshiri era is on the back of a spur of the moment decision. I don't expect it to change anytime soon, which is deeply worrying considering how poor we are.

Strangely excited about tonight and I've absolutely no idea why. Expecting us to be 6-0 down at half time to bring me back down to Earth .

I'll be staying in my seat, simply because I think people leaving them won't make a difference to an owner who seems from the outside looking in to be rather stubborn. I'd much prefer banners (tasteful of course) to explain the message in black and white as opposed to leaving the stands, which will no doubt be damaging for the players. I expect a good 25% to leave their seats, I don't think it'll be something that most of the ground will do. I just hope there isn't any bad feeling between the "sitters" and the "walkers". The ground has been toxic enough lately without people falling out with each other.

Masi is such a buffoon. Like a substitute teacher trying to run a Formula One season.

How the tables have turned, a Mercedes procession has turned into an open goal for Max Verstappen. Unless there's another SC I don't see how Mercedes get past the Red Bull, its basically Monaco at night. Said to all along, but can still see drama however. If there's a second or two between them with a few laps to go I expect the car in P2 to attempt to go around the car in P1, regardless if there's space or not.

Bit tongue in cheek from me there mate, I thought they were absolute clampets.

Despite there being protests before, this feels like a real low. The last one I can remember is when the idiots from the Blue Union were knocking about crying about us qualifying for Europe every year, this time it's a justified cause which is deeply saddening, if totally needed.

A €25,000 fine for Mercedes which I'm sure they'll lose sleep over .

Yeah he's signed a 7 months managerial contract, with a two-year DOF role at the end of the season.

One of the strangest goals ever seen, Arsenal take the lead with David De Gea injured on the goal line.

1 win in 10. Despite the obvious problems at the club, any manager should be doing better than the current run of form. At the moment we're nailed on for a relegation scrap (which I don't think we would survive) which is way below what this squad is capable of. I've said it many times, Benitez isn't the biggest problem but he's a massive one and should have ideally IMO left a few weeks ago. Sacking him in the morning would make me feel a lot better, especially as I'm sitting in the ground (bar tonight) putting up with this shit football and toxicity.

To be honest I didn't include her in my other posts about the board and I'll be honest I'll admit I'm probably wrong to include her above - it just pissed me off how when we went 4-1 down the camera cut to the four of them (Brands, Moshiri, DBB and Kenwright) and she's there with a grin. Anyone associated with the club in a position like that should be absolutely embarrassed - perhaps not due to being at fault, but for being associated with such clampets.

Tosun on with 6 minutes to go .

Shouldn't have been anywhere near the club in the first place and shouldn't be anywhere near the club now. Sadly, neither should the likes of Moshiri, DBB and Brands but they'll be clocking in tomorrow morning as normal.

Lovely little chuckle from Denise as we go 4-1 down. Liverpool fans singing about Rafa too, wonderful. Boss how we've got a board that care isn't it.

Stuff being thrown on the pitch and police at the Gwladys Street?

"The year was 2021, we were just losing hope when Sir Fabien Delph came off the bench with 15 minutes to go..."

I love Seamus Coleman, like I really do but he's done at this level. That's a catastrophic error. Edit: Bit wank from Pickford too to be fair, seen faster snails than that shot from Salah.

Feels like Christmas has come early, a goal in the derby and now Rondon's injured.
