This, and that fans day thing in the park, when 15 odd people turned up, is reminiscent of the episode of Phoenix Nights when they have the fun day for the re-opening of the club. They'll have Martinez dressed up as Bobby The Blueberry next, getting his photo took with the fans before the game.

It's a shame they sold Fellaini, he'd have been ideal as the "20 foot cock and balls".

[Ken-Obi]

The open top bus parade will drive them insane with months of depression.

[Crosby Nick]

He has a point. That Sturridge goal last night came from a hoof from our own half don'tchaknow.

[Dingle Red]

His name would be Dicky Piss, over here. How even more unlucky is that.

Haha Boss.

[Yiannis]

Will their game and City's go ahead today(weather permitting) or another date?

[Crosby Nick]

Won't be today. Will be a later date (further congestion for City).

[Yiannis]

Thanks.
Just for the record, Premier League do have the same quota about postponed games being held the next day like other football federations have or not? It's just, as you said, match congestion that doesn't allow them in this case.

I can't ever remember that happening (UEFA Cup Final in the 70's possibly that was abandoned and then replayed the following night I think?). But in the modern era it doesn't happen - probably too difficult to sort out Policing etc. Plus in City's case they play on Saturdayso wouldn't want to be playing a game tonight too.

[killer-heels]

Their next match is away to Chelsea and if they lose and we win then thats them out the picture for fourth.

Happened with Gala vs. Juve this year in the Champions League too when it started snowing in the 30th minute or so.

Perhaps different with European matches?

Guess so - Quite a trek from Turin to Istanbul so perhaps better to get it played while they were then rather than have to return at a later date?

Galatasaray-Juve happened this season due to the snow.

"In the Premier League" he says, backtracking!

[firing squad]

oh, carry on then.

[El Ninos Black Eye]

Probably would be different in European games due to travel, so special arrangements will be made. Remember seeing something a few years ago, think it was when we had a run of games against Arsenal in the cup and league and one got called off.  Talk of it being the next day. But I think the club have to give up to 10 days notice to the local authorities for the game to take place.

[justsean]

Wow. We will quite possibly be 11 ahead of them come Sunday week. I know they will have their game in hand, but 11 points ahead of them and it's goodbye.

[Hazell]

Let's not count our chickens. They could total football the hell out of Chelsea and our long ball/set piece game may not be effective against Swansea.

Fair enough, although I'm only saying it is a possibility .

I fancy us to beat Swansea regardless.

[EmotionalCitrus]

If ever a forum post summed Everton up.

[Barneylfc∗]

I laughed when I saw that his first name was Richard and his surname was Wee.

Dick Wee

The folk in that part of the world put their Surname first don't they?

There was a few like that mate. Saw one saying they'd prefer us to finish 5th and them finish 17th as there is no difference between the two, as long as it means we're not getting 4th.

I don't want Everton to get CL football, but as long as we're above them, I wouldn't really be arsed if they did.

[CHOPPER]

If ever a forum post summed Everton up.

Sums the shower of bitter bastards up to a tee, that.

Think I've mentioned it in here, but if you get the chance - ask a blue would they be happy to finish second in the league and have automatic qualification into the CL, the only thing is - Liverpool finish above them? Every blue I've asked has either said no they wouldn't and wouldn't want it, or refused to answer.

The odd blue has asked what if it was the other way around and we finished second. I told them I wouldn't be arsed, the only thing that matters is Liverpool. Their responce - I'm a liar.

Bitter bastards.

[Hazell]

Yeah agreed. Honestly, I'm just taking this season one game at a time. A Champions League place is in our hands so I try not to worry about other results and a title tilt I still think would be extremely difficult and so I tend not to get too upset when the top three win (although it's great when they drop points and it's happened to each of them at least once over the past two games). We did what we needed to do yesterday (only just!) and if Everton want to keep up, they'll have to wait.

Saying that, they're doing well, three points ahead of Man Utd with a game in hand and a better goal difference, thanks to their legend David Moyes.

[XabiAlonsosBeard]

They are truly obsessed. They have to bring us in to every single thing. I've seen a few comments on Facebook pages about the Dick Piss story. They can't just acknowledge that their club have made a great gesture to a Malaysian fan (surely not a blue OOT?) and had to say stuff like "you'd never see the RS doing that. That's why we're the People's Club" etc etc.

It's a gash old team to support.....

You'd also never see the redshite struggling to sell tickets for a home premier league game "the people's club" indeed.

[thelinnen]

I don't like them but I do respect them.

And therein lies the difference between our fans.

Some of the things surrounding this club do give me a good laugh at times.

[Solomon Grundy]

If ever a forum post summed Everton up.

Good fucking grief. Words can't describe how unbelievably fucking sad they are. Wanting their team to lose a league game against Chelsea in the hope it will stop us from winning the league. How about wanting YOUR OWN TEAM to do the best it possibly can and win every game they play eh lads?...

I'd laugh my head off if Chelsea did beat them, they missed out on Europe but, we still won the league.

[Mad Max]

If ever a forum post summed Everton up.

The usual drivel.

[Davidbowie]

I think its generally accepted that their fans hate Liverpool MORE than they love Everton.

What a sad, pathetic and bitter bunch of losers.

[Solomon Grundy]

Everton are a great club. The way they have got behind us in regards to Hillsborough I will never forget and I will always be grateful to them for that.

A large portion of their fanbase are a different kettle of fish altogether though. They are more focussed, more concerned about us. Hoping, wanting, praying that we fail. Rather then putting all their energy into wanting their club to achieve success.  They would happily see their club fail every season if it would guarantee us failing as well. Sad, Sad bastards.

They aren't worthy enough to support a club like Everton. They really, really aren't.

[Motty]

I wouldn't wish being a Everton fan on my worst enemy, and that goes for my enemies that are actual Everton fans.

Fuck knows if that even makes sense but you get the gist.

[Mouth]

Its understandable they are obsessed with us and want us to fail more than they want their own club to do well.

There is after all slim to no chance of them doing well, but a lot of the time in the last 20 years or so we have been sporadic in our success. So, for them there is more chance of us failing than them winning, ergo logic dictates they want us to lose, more than they want them to win.

Perfectly sensible.

I wouldn't call that being sensible mate. I'd call that being bitter. Which is exactly what most of them are.

how are they in competition with us for fans nationally???

I think we all know the answer to that. They aren't.

Can you imagine the moans and groans and the number of cats that were kicked last night in Blues houses everywhere (not that far) as Stevie coolly slooted away the pen.

Oh the joy.

nah they were all to busy celebrating the fact that somewhere outside of county road had heard of the mongrel c*nts.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

From GOTs liverpool thread:

Gave the only kopite i talk too and thats only coz he is a gardener at a house where I look after the lawns 3/1 at the start of the season (when it looked like Suarez was off) to finish top 4 he had 50quid on it. GUTTED, can ill afford that. Tough lesson learned as it is a double or even treble (with Suarez likely to stay on now) whammy.
