Good afternoon.
Dropping like flies they are. The look for this evening’s affair is ‘Bare Bones’, a waifish theme that is positively sweeping the dressing rooms of Bootle and N17 alike.
Phil Jagielka, Leon Osman, Jack Rodwell, Tony Hibbert, Tim Cahill and Ross Barkley have between them; two bad knees, a pair of knackered groins, a faulty hamstring and foot that doesn’t work. They don’t need a physio they need Mary Shelley.
Pathe News Boy is maybe 50/50. Jermaine Jenas and Dances With Scones are currently appearing at the Alhambra in Bradford in Aladdin; alongside Kim Wilde and Nigel Havers.
So the game in hand will be gone. Everton have beaten Blackburn, Bolton, West Brom and Fulham, ‘on the road’. They have failed to beat Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester City. So this is a good opportunity the mighty Tottingham to demonstrate which of these two lists they belong on.
Predictions? Bale’s due a goal as First Goalscorer he is 6/1. Modric as Anytime Scorer is at 3/1 which might just see you right if you had a spare coin or three. Prices courtesy of Boylesports.
We will be slightly weak defensively but pretty much full strength going forward and their real weakness is scoring goals (Baines (4) is their top scorer) which sort of balances that. The real loss is the probable absence of Pathe News Boy and this could be a night where he makes the difference.
All in all we should shade it if we’re up for it.
Agreed we might miss PNB. Moyes always gets his team well organised and working hard and you have to put in the hard yards to get on top of them. Could be a night for Livermore to show he is more workhorse than show pony (did you see what I did there?)
Early goal and home and dry, but there’s been a restlessness about the Lane in recent games, more expectancy than realism that sides like this are not going to roll over for us. The maxim,work as hard and let our superior skill take over, should see us through this, but we need to be driving the lads on a bit tonight. COYS!
Essex my piss swigging buddy, I am very confident tonight mate, some might say over confident. I reckon there is a bag full of goals for us, Everton have no confidence, many injuries, a more than shaky back four, a more than more than shaky front two. We beat them at every position on the pitch and our lads have had a break now, so there should be plenty of petrol in the tank.I’m going for a silly score something around 4-0 tonight. So sit back with the cognac (or Jamesons) and i’ll do the same with a Merlot and raise a glass to being joint 2nd in the league. I’ll then be back online after the game when weve lost and you can call me all the C***s under the sun. :-D
Would never resort to calling anyone that Jimlad, well,almost anyone! Livermore was truly outstanding, filled the gap and did simple things, simply brilliantly. As I said match their workrate and superior skill will win the day. The crowd did us proud tonight as well, as the understanding of our need for the points overcame our desire to go all out, which we couldn’t as possession is 9/10ths of the game. A few were off the pace and Everton were not all that, but 2-0 job done, cheers
Has anyone seen Oh Tommy Tommy Huddlestones afro yet? He said at the start of the season that he wasn’t going to cut his hair until he scored a goal, then Sod’s Law did his leg (or whatever) in. It must be looking pretty fruity by now, anyone seen it?
Awe inspiring.
I have a feeling ade will shine tonight, 3-1 Tottingham COYS
me too Nelly, gonna wager on it too
COYFS
Will Quentin Blake be making regular appearances here?
