StickyToffees versus Mighty Clarets

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 11:28 am

Big day today. If we can go up the league without playing, whatever can we do today, when our heroes, play out of their skin?

Madge has set off early and is raring to go. Probably a jog round Stanley park before she gets down to her stuff.

Come on you Clarets, let's beat the Koeman's Balls Ups!

And old tradition that they've continued over the years - having the Toffee Lady

Good for them... Something for them to celebrate, at least.

Does she chuck them at away fans too? Or is it solely for home fans?

Consolation off the pitch. Good planning by them.

They had a midfield in those days.

with Ian saying Madge had set off and was raring to go I thought she was going to be the toffee lady!

It's all humbug!

Are we hoping for an Arsenal win, ie keeping us above Brighton. Or, do we want a draw for Arsenal and Brighton, followed by a Burnley win moving us above both teams?

At the end of the season Arsenal are going to be above us anyway so might as well hope for a Brighton defeat as they're a bigger threat to our end of season fortunes

Just read this from the BBC website... Level of detail in prep is amazing - wonder what the benefit of doing this is though?

12:52
Everton v Burnley (14:15 BST)
We will have team news from the second game of the day shortly. On 5 live Pat Nevin reports that Sean Dyche has been on the pitch at Goodison striding out the distance between halfway and the penalty area.

You can't fail to prepare properly in this game.

Here she is. Up and dancing for us all. Come on you Clarets!

other than Heaton that's arguably our best starting 11

Great time to be playing Everton. Let's bring all 3 points home. COYC.

I like their bench but our X1 has the beating of theirs.
Keane to gift us one as well.

Yeah I don't think we could have many changes there. Arfield can always pop up and score out of very little.

It's cos the Scousers think they're at a pantomime every other week.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 2:14 pm

Treading on Keane's foot, early on, might be a good ploy!

Lindy preferred to Leggings at no.2 keeper.

Let the Mighty Clarets RoaaaarrrrrrrrRRRRR!

About to board a flight to Miami 1500 take off so hope we are 4-0 up at HT as I will miss the second half

Wednesday's 3rd goal was a cracker!

Glad that was straight at Pope

Moorite · Post by **Moorite** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 2:19 pm

First shot on target goes to Everton. Easy save for Pope.

Moorite · Post by **Moorite** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 2:19 pm

Corner Burnley!

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 2:19 pm

Awesome cross

Bloody Keane clears it

The old Sigurdsson would've buried that.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 2:21 pm

Good save Pope, started by Mee's faux pas

Good clearance by Ward!!

Good clearance by Ward. Corner and pressure for us. Now Gk Burnley.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 2:26 pm

Cork block and now FK Burnley.

Moorite · Post by **Moorite** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 2:26 pm

Not sure what he's shouting, but I feel that I should be doing something...

Deflection could have gone in there

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 2:28 pm

he was shouting "be strong"
We have surprisingly been bullied so far. Cork hasn't got close to Schneiderlin

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 2:28 pm

Well taken by Arfield on break. Pass just misses runner. More Burnley pressure.

He was telling Ben to be Big and Strong Sidney.
