Blue 250

The whole team will get a lift from Lukaku's goals.Excellent 2nd half performance from everyone. surely Barry's pass for Lukaku's 3rd is already pass of the season, the man shows no sign of stopping. Nice one Blues.

No, he's a twat!

Good.

Your talking shite!

Go away twat!

Well, we are the better team, which doesn't say much for Sunderland.The defence and Barry doing ok, that's about it really.

'Pompous knickers'........that's a bit below the belt! You'll be on the naughty step if you keep this up !

Yer, but what does Alan Shearer know!

Let's be honest, seems the players are glad Lukaku has decided to stay another season, the manager also has indicated it's what he wanted..............so that's everyone who's 'important' in the equation happy. Everyone knows, he talked too much pre-season, he needs a goal to get up and running this season, he looks a tad rusty yesterday, so did a few others come to that.His effort though could not be faulted. I think when this squad, with 'this' manager click Lukaku is going to be on the end of a lot of chances, he will score goals.Who gives a shit which leg he puts them in with !!

You only get one dad, a day the son will never forget. Maybe, just maybe, it will be a comfort that his dad died doing something he loved.

Thing is I'm not a neutral. I think we'll need to improve in a few things before we can be happy.We have to score more, this should come in time, but I've seen way better games than this......too bloody nervous, even at 1-0, just glad it's over.

Not a great game, but, 3 points againts a physical Stoke will do. Unbeaten, and we will improve.

Thank fuck Walters is an Evertonian.

We've all seen Everton lose games like this, dominate, not score......then sucker punch!

Everton 3 Stoke 1. Barkley.

How am I blessed, you think I'm at the game .

Just think, in the past if you wanted to watch............you had to go! Who would have thought.

Nah, I saw Trevor the other day and he looked pretty good for 55 !

Three points, three different goalscorers in two games, goalkeeper looking pretty good, no unnecassary tip-tap, money still to spend, willingness from the manager to change things early. Happy days.

Bolasie ! " Beanpole to a Beast ".........excellent, like a ' Beast ' as a center forward. Good luck to the lad. Would like to see him up front with our other ' beast ' !

West Brom 0 Everton 2. Barkley.

Probably hoping for a win, most would have taken a draw today. There's been some decent signs and we are going to improve.

Everton 1 Spurs 0. Barkley.

I smelled burning in my works van a few years ago, thought I could probably make it back to the depot (about 3 miles).....smell soon turned into smoke through the dashboard, still thought maybe I could make it back.....flame through the vents convinced me I couldn't. This led to a hasty bale out.Cab was completely gutted! When the recovery truck came to 'recover', the driver commented that how I'd parked it was going to make it awkward for him. I 'commented' that as I was parking it " the smoke and flames had kind off made it awkward for me to park nicely "!

Said the same thing yesterday in the Stones thread.........Martinez, did us a fair bit of damage.
