Ive always rather liked Everton, what I would call a proper football club. However, having looked at this we need them relegated soon and struggle to make it back for at least 8 years.
Hans Segers (I think) in the Wimbledon goal who seemed to conspire with fate and allow Wimbledon to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when Everton looked doomed.
What was just as galling, if I recall correctly, was that our lad Gareth Farrelly scored a screamer thus setting in motion the Everton fightback.
Indeed, Chico. The whole thing had the whiff of the "surreal" about it.What was just as galling, if I recall correctly, was that our lad Gareth Farrelly scored a screamer thus setting in motion the Everton fightback. Moving on to the Villa-Everton fixture I'm amazed both clubs don't make more of it and promote it for all its worth as the world's most played fixture (taking into account that the teams only meet twice a season). If Sky and the Premier League got behind it too and promoted it in the right way it could become a fixture that everyone would be interested in tuning into. There's no doubt that both clubs have a healthy respect for each other and a keen sense of rivalry that seems to have become more intense over the last few years. If there's a team out there that I love us to beat Everton is one of them.
Quote from: "Billy Walker"What was just as galling, if I recall correctly, was that our lad Gareth Farrelly scored a screamer thus setting in motion the Everton fightback. I think it may have been Barry Horne who hit a 40-yarder for Everton?
To be honest my whole memory of that match is a bit hazy....
Was looking at some other records earlier, and found one that says we've conceded more penalties in the Premier League (97) than any other team.
