[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton *** Official Match Thread ***

[Rugrat]

This is absolute nonsense. They've been us every time at Goodison.

Which is what they're saying

 

[Beach Hut]

So excited

Can't quite see why this is nonsense? The HOME sides unbeaten

The home team...

 

[Guinness Boy]

Banker draw and wouldn't be disappointed with that.

Hope we all know the words to "Fat Spanish Waiter".

Mixed views from their lot…….less confident than I would have expected perhaps.

Smash the vermin?
First post in the link, someone not happy

Ah, I see. I read this as 'today's home team'. Ambiguously put.

 

[Swansman]

Tough one. Everton always start strong before moving to their usual habit of disappointing everyone. Would be pleased with a point.

 

[Clive Walker]

If we play like we have in the last 135 mins we’ll do well. If we play like we did in the first 45mins at Burnley we’ll loose

Lewin has an injured toe per their website but will probably still play

I'll reserve judgement until I see the team sheet but Potts has kept the beard which is a good omen.

Everton fan's football expertise from that forum: "they are always very vulnerable at the back though, hence why they never finish very high up the table."

We know as fans that our defense doesn't let in a huge amount of goals but equally we lost the highest amount of points from a winning position last season so I can see why they'd reach that conclusion.

 

[Official Old Man]

Where are Everton in the pecking order of the EPL?
Not top 6 nor relegation fodder. So these are the teams on level status as us and we should be aiming at beating them at home. First real test of the season.
A win from me.

Very fair point and I hadn't considered it like that, though not sure the original comment was as insightful.

Responsible for the phrase 'in a league of their own'

In a League of their own…..with Leicester….. Maybe!

Normally, toffees fans are knowledgeable and articulate themselves very well in football conversations. But, of course, every forum has it's share of knobs who think of 'teams like Brighton' shipping goals because of the league positions.
Bless their little cotton socks

You'd imagine that the club with the 3rd highest netspend in the last five years should have ambitions beyond their 10th place last season but they never really seem to kick on. Lots of quality in that squad though.
