It's the most played fixture in English football you know.
-
I think we will win this one if purely from the perspective that law of averages suggests we will get something out of it and not lose a fourth game on the bounce. 1-0 Villa, The Beast after 53 minutes.
Apropos of nothing, and based on your comment above, why do we always have to be told that "this is [e.g.] the 261st Merseyside Derby" but never have to be given that information about any other match, derby or otherwise?
-

lol
I think I probably post this every game, but until fairly recently all the stats were pretty even, too.
Games won and lost were within 1 game, and goals for and against were within 5 (?) which is pretty even after 170+ games
This may have changed, slightly, in the last couple of years, but, I'm sure someone would know the exact figures now.
-
Lambert will go defensive and we'll hold out with brave defending until they score. Once they do, no plan B, game over. We need to start going for games, particularly as Everton have had a shaky start. 0-2
-
Score draw. They look ropey at the moment but will undoubtedly improve. Neither team looks like keeping a clean sheet at the moment, or scoring too many. It'll be tight. 1-1 or 2-2.
Benteke to get back in the goals.
-
I'm pretty confident this will end 1-1.
-
I really fancy us to win this one.
I guarantee that Everton fans will spend 98% of the game in absolute silence, the other 1% whinning in some angry high pitched tone and the other 1% screaming handball. Their support is utter toss.

this could be said about any game at their place for the last god knows how long....whiney tossers that for some reason have a big beef about the Villa.
a decent display please and repeat of the last second 3-2 win from a few years ago...that should keep them quiet.
UTV
The Doc
-
I reckon the big man might start and score.
-
We're due a win and Everton's defence is beginning to look a bit 'Wiganised' by Martinez.
-
Everton have been letting goals in by the bucket load so far this season,so what better team to face than a side who don't even have a shot or two on goal .I expect the same negative approach by Lambert as usual,so i am going for 2-0 to them
-
Just don't fancy us. 3-1. With Westwood's arm in a permanent pointing towards 👉 naismith position.
-
Them 1 Us 2.
-
I have gone for a draw. I hope we can delay Everton's turnaround in fortunes for at least one more game.
-
Unfortunately for us, we're not playing Everton after they've had a midweek trip to Russia, like those jammy bastards Manure.
-
1-1 with Kevin Sheedy opening with a penalty before the Beast scores for us.
-
2-1 them.
-
Unfortunately for us, we're not playing Everton after they've had a midweek trip to Russia, like those jammy bastards Manure.
And they still almost fucked it up.
I'll go for a 1-0 win, Benteke to start and score.
-
We've score 4 goals all season, they've score 13; we've conceded 9, they've conceded 16.
Based on that 0-0 looks a likely scoreline unless they score, in which case we're buggered.
1-0 Villa win with us defending for 87 minutes.
-
I am bizarrely confident.
For too long uppity clubs like Everton & Spurs have been beating us with ease. I feel the tide has turned and the rightful order of things will re establish themselves this weekend.
0-3 to us.
-
I'm just looking forward to seeing us play attacking football again.
-
The Beast is back but knowing our luck Lukaku will probably find his form for them. 2-2, all Belgian - Lukaku and Mirallas for them, Benteke 2 for us, they get a penalty but Barry will be off the pitch at the time
-
Miralles is out.
-
Miralles is out.
As is England stalwart John Stones
-
Excellent - 2-1 to us then!
-
3-3
Jimmy Husband, Colin Harvey, Brian Labone for them.
Tony Morley hat trick for us, all goal of the season contenders.
-
Everton are going through a really tough spell and need a win badly, you know the script, sorry but its consecutive defeat number 4, them 2 us 1
-
They're going through a bad run because they cannot defend for toffee. As we have found out, it matters not how ou go about the rest of the game if you cannot nail the fundamentals at the back.
-
Evertheoptimist - we will win!
Concerned about the defence if Vlaar is out, Senderos is injured, and....?
If Baker continues his recent MoM form great, if not.....?
Okore will come in, play wonderfully and all the stats-fuelled pundits will explode the idea that he once breathed English air, therefore qualifies for Ingerlund and is the saviour of English football, replacing the role that Berahino was handed last week and Sterling the week before.
Sorry.
I've been to the pub.
It's 20 yards away...opposite my house.
Wouldn't you?
UTV!
-
1-1 if Vlaar plays, 3-1 if it's Coco Clark and bumbling Baker.
First trip to Goodison on Saturday anyway, think I'm in the lower tier so will even watching the matc.....sorry the back of the bloke infront of me's head for 90 minutes!
-
They need a win so no doubts it will be against us. They'll probably score early, go 0-2 up after the break, we'll pull one back around 74th minute mark and that will be that.

What happens in the 49th minute? I want to know just in case I need to use the facilities after a half time pint. Wouldn't want to miss anything interesting.

They'll score in that minute now you've said it.
-
I'm gonna stick my neck out and say Villa to win. Gabby and Ron both return and the former gets the only goal.
-
0-0 boring draw we will take that!
-
So Vlaar to come back in, but Delph lkely to miss out.
I think we will see a side of Guzan and a back four of Hutton, Baker, Vlaar, Cissokho. A midfield then of Westwood stiting with Richardson and Cleverley behind Benteke Gabby and Andi.
I would personally play N'Zogbia, but I think that is what we will go with.
-
I predict I will have a great pre match few drinks with like minded people. Then I'll endure the first half hour at which point I'll join the queue for beer. Hopefully I will hear Benteke score or just about see it on a monitor. I'll then return about 5 mins into the 2nd half and watch Everton lay seige for another half hour or so through a forest of timber pylons meaning I'll only see half the goal and will have to rely on crowd reaction to find out if Guzan has saved or not.
With about 5-10 mins to go I will go for a slash ( even if not required ) after which I will pace around under the stand and hopefully hear Gabby score a breakaway 2nd.
Then it will be a happy trip home followed by a battle to stay awake to try and catch the goals I missed on MOTD.

You've done this before haven't you?
Remember going to Goodison for FAC R3 in the 80's - fell asleep in the toilets as I was tired and emotional - came out to see us score only to discover we were 4 down already!

This is my routine most away games. I find it completely stressful, it's the style we play: gung-ho defending and breakaway goals. Or in truth the odd breakaway shot! Even when we win the actual game is totaly un enjoyable. It's all about the result.
-
This will be a convincing Villa win.
-
Evidently Ross Barkley could be playing which confused me as I get him confused with Jack Wilshere. Think it's because they are the two best midfielders in the world.
-
They are a little more desparate for the win than us and I just have a feeling they will get it. Will go 2-1 and Benteke to get ours. A solid away point would suit me.
-
This will be a convincing Villa win.
That's the spirit.

Fabian Delph and Philippe Senderos have emerged as injury doubts for Villa's trip to Everton - but skipper Ron Vlaar is available.
Delph is struggling with a shoulder injury ahead of Saturday's trip to Goodison Park.
And Senderos missed Switzerland's Euro 2016 qualifier against San Marino on Tuesday with a thigh problem.
But there is positive news for Vlaar, who has recovered from the calf injury that kept him out of Villa's last four Barclays Premier League games.
In a further boost, manager Paul Lambert says Christian Benteke is also pushing for a start after making his return from the substitutes bench in the defeat to Manchester City earlier this month.
"There are one or two there who I need to wait and see about," said Lambert.
"At the minute, they are doubtful for Saturday.
"Fabian and Philippe are the doubts but on the plus side, Ron is back and Benteke is pushing to start, so they're two of the main ones.
"You're never sure what's going to happen when they go away but you've got to accept that they're going to go and try and get results for their country.
"But you do hope that they come back and everybody's fine."
Asked if Benteke could start against the Toffees, Lambert added: "He's in the squad. There's a good chance.
"He's trained really well and looking like his old self in the last week or so.
"He scored up here last week against Leicester in a friendly game so there is a chance. He'll be in the squad and I'll decide tomorrow."
-
Could be a good game to play a bit more of an attacking formation. Have TC/Richardsion and Westwood sit then play Gabby, Cole/Grealish and Zogbia behind Benteke. Their defence is shit and we need to attack them. Sitting back only plays into their hands.
I'd like to see us go 4-2-3-1.
-
Not really sure but a 2-1 result either way is likely. Bonus if Vlaar plays as it now looks as if he will. But will Okore be on the subs bench?
-
---------Guzan----------
Hutton vlaar baker Sissoko

Yeah I think I agree with that one. Maybe n'zogbia for Weimann

Comfortable away win.

From them:
"...let’s put our hands together to welcome our illustrious opponents from down the M6 – Aston Villa – as they come to play the latest instalment of the most played English top flight game of all time. The bit there where I said “illustrious” what I really meant was “plaque covered teeth sloth speaking try too hard mega scruffs”. Just in case there was any lingering confusion.
For a club with so much wonderful history and success they are unfortunately burdened with their fans. It’s like meeting a boss bird, an easy nine out of ten, but she’s got prominent arse grapes hanging out of the back. They're just there and you constantly know it.
These crushingly dull bum berries of Birmingham could choose to watch the game and enjoy the experience of following their sound club but instead are covered absolutely filthy rotten from head to toe with cringe worthy behaviour. Or as the whoppers on social media like to call it now: banter.
Let’s get it right: banter is for geordies, Soccer AM fawning texans, deeply insecure but outwardly confident university students trying to hide their middle class upbringing in the student halls and lastly: degenerate gobshites.
This isn't banter that I'm typing now, this is me as an Evertonian, calling you, Villa fans, a maelstrom of dim witted fucktards, and appealing with every last bit of goodwill in my heart to reconsider your approach to following a football club. Sincerely, please just try.
No more of this MY LORD crap, or singing about fire drills when a load of baldy half-arsed-about-the-footie scouse dars go the bog or the bar before half time. No more dressing like meffs or your Farmfood quality tattoos. Absolute no more singing stuff about stuff. Dull stuff. Stop being the rancid anus of humanity, I implore you. We just want to watch the footie and guess what? You might even beat us. Sound that.
But you go back to Birmingham, and most of us get to remain in Liverpool and the various wool areas surrounding it. So ultimately we win. Exclamation mark omitted.
There’s a path for improvement there if you really want it and hopefully you’ll see the constructive criticism in these words is intended to provoke a moment of self realisation, and a subsequent amending of prior unacceptable ways. If you have internet or adult literacy in Birmingham yet anyway. It must crush you that your wools (West Brom, Stoke, Leicester etc) are on the whole far more easier to digest in company than yourselves. Come on now..."
-
Obviously never been on H&V.
-
Begrudgingly I hate to admit that, that is slightly brilliant.
"Let’s get it right: banter is for geordies, Soccer AM fawning texans, deeply insecure but outwardly confident university students trying to hide their middle class upbringing in the student halls and lastly: degenerate gobshites."
That said. I now hope we stuff Everton royally, even more than I did before reading that. The droll bastard.
-
Trying hard.
It must be worse than we thought, living up there.

In other news, the best team in the midlands is playing the second best team from Liverpool on saturday.

wordy, poor grammar
-
I wonder how that person felt after that Ashley Young goal a few years ago ;D
-
One of the many things beyond my comprehension is why it is that we, on the whole, have a lot of respect for their club while they, on the whole, seem to hate us. Is it just because we're the one club who 'now our 'istory better than they do?
-
I like it when we have no real malice against a team but they absolutely hate us.
I did think Everton were better than a Scouse Coventry though. I suppose when you never, ever beat your proper rivals you have to try to instigate a new, phony, rivalry to make up for it.
Bless.
-
Just proves we are who we are. We also seem to dislike Stoke but go on their sites and they have nothing but respect for us.
-
maybe selective quoting? You could look back over our threads and find lots of references to "whiny scousers", "2nd best club in Liverpool", "have to live in Liverpool", "quiet fans" etc.
-
Yes but generally you won't have too much ill written or said about Everton or their fans due to us being similar sized clubs. they, however, seem to really dislike us. Liverpool fans seem to respect and like us more and yet we hold them in higher contempt.

Unmitigatedly prolix. Or something that sounds like prolix.
-
The author clearly has a complex which is quite funny. I respect them as a Club and recall a great atmosphere between the two sets of supporters after the epic last day 3-3 in 1990.
Wat has to be said is that Everton also have the smallest collection of songs sung by fans ever. They only seem to sing 2 if they sing at all.
-
Lets hope Osman isn't in the squad, he always seems to have a blinder against us. I can see him and Naismith running things.
-
The hatred Everton have for us is very funny. I've said before, I used Rivals for a while years ago and they genuinely hated us. Which just adds to the enjoyment of us rarely losing up there.
I found asking them "what's it like being the second club in the city as i've no idea how that feels" was a good icebreaker with them. Or ask them where they got their tracksuit bottoms from as Witton Lane hosts its annual "Trackie day" when we play them.
-
After the scouse derby, this is their Cup Final. All quite humorous really.
-
Take the game to them and can see us getting 3points. Benteke and Nzogbia to score. 2-0
-

All of those, apart from having to live in Liverpool, are true though. They're not indentured serfs, so they can live elsewhere if they so choose.
Their support is dismal. By the 60th minute tomorrow I will have heard all I can stand of the sheer level of moaning that comes from the Park End. It's a form of torture. They won't sing unless they're winning and even then only fleetingly give you a rendition of their one song. Their away support is equally as turgid. They're also obviously the second biggest team in their city and by a country mile too.

He probably needed a lie down after he had finished that.
-
Funny (well not haha funny) but most of that can be said about their lot too.
Good club, fine history, shite fans.
Like us, they travel in big numbers away. Unlike us, you barely hear a peep out of them. And when you do, it's that same sad song. Now that Leeds are gone, easily the most racist fans in the topflight.
He's right about My Lord though. Time to stop it, it's dire. Was topical and reasonably amusing when McGrath went missing in 1994. Was mildly amusing circa 2006/7, in a retro way.
Now, I'd be quite happy for the bobbies to baton charge anyone caught singing it in our end.

Speaking of the Old Bill and batons, I like the throw back pimp canes the senior plod sport up in Liverpool.

Although just for the Everton game, and for that fan in particular, I hope all who attend in the away end sing it from the rooftops the entire game.

Another throw back - whenever I've been to Everton I've noticed that the pavements around Goodison are covered in dog shit.
-
Agree with OzVilla...this guy has clearly got a massive complex about The Villa - perhaps he was a nose or stripeyfilth in a previous existence? Or is just getting in a bit of practice for when he is re-incarnated as one?
I know they have a bit of a downer on us but a good mate is a fan and he seems to have a downer on every team they play...and pretty much everything in life...it's just the scouse way...but it's everybody else's fault! "'The Mighty Reds YNWA' are better than us because they're bastards...Villa are shit because we don't like them...Leeds are crap because they're from Yorkshire"...completely random, nonsensical "logic"!
I hope we hammer the twats!

If he really wanted to know 'is 'istory that particular Bitter could make his way to the Everton Historical Society's piece about how Evertonians should pay due homage to the McGregor statue, because without him they would never have got into the league.

Agree with that team. Not sure if CB will be ready just yet and if he would be better coming off the bench though.
-
It's the most played fixture in English football you know.
lol
I think I probably post this every game, but until fairly recently all the stats were pretty even, too.
Games won and lost were within 1 game, and goals for and against were within 5 (?) which is pretty even after 170+ games
This may have changed, slightly, in the last couple of years, but, I'm sure someone would know the exact figures now.
Pretty damned close!
Head-to-head v Everton
ASTON VILLA WINS DRAWS EVERTON WINS
League 72 53 73
FA Cup 4 1 4
League Cup 3 4 2
Total 79 58 79

Let’s get it right: banter is for geordies, Soccer AM fawning texans, deeply insecure but outwardly confident university students trying to hide their middle class upbringing in the student halls and lastly: degenerate gobshites.
This isn't banter that I'm typing now, this is me as an Evertonian, calling you, Villa fans, a maelstrom of dim witted fucktards, and appealing with every last bit of goodwill in my heart to reconsider your approach to following a football club. Sincerely, please just try.
No more of this MY LORD crap, or singing about fire drills when a load of baldy half-arsed-about-the-footie scouse dars go the bog or the bar before half time. No more dressing like meffs or your Farmfood quality tattoos. Absolute no more singing stuff about stuff. Dull stuff. Stop being the rancid anus of humanity, I implore you. We just want to watch the footie and guess what? You might even beat us. Sound that.
But you go back to Birmingham, and most of us get to remain in Liverpool and the various wool areas surrounding it. So ultimately we win. Exclamation mark omitted.
There’s a path for improvement there if you really want it and hopefully you’ll see the constructive criticism in these words is intended to provoke a moment of self realisation, and a subsequent amending of prior unacceptable ways. If you have internet or adult literacy in Birmingham yet anyway. It must crush you that your wools (West Brom, Stoke, Leicester etc) are on the whole far more easier to digest in company than yourselves. Come on now..."
wordy, poor grammar
Unmitigatedly prolix. Or something that sounds like prolix.
He probably needed a lie down after he had finished that.
Probably was lying down… on the sick...

Gone for a draw.

Where does that hatred of us come from?
I'd more than happy with a draw tomorrow.

Try reading that with Jamie Carragher's voice.

From them:
"...let’s put our hands together to welcome our illustrious opponents from down the M6 – Aston Villa – as they come to play the latest instalment of the most played English top flight game of all time. The bit there where I said “illustrious” what I really meant was “plaque covered teeth sloth speaking try too hard mega scruffs”. Just in case there was any lingering confusion.

I still can't click on the link to that goal and watch it only once.

What are these "wools" and "wool areas" that he bangs on about?
-
Trying hard.
It must be worse than we thought, living up there.
It can't be worse than I think it is, sorry. Quite one of the shittest places on earth, populated in part, as they are the second biggest club in the city, by the whiniest fans going who suffer even more from a victim mentality than that equally obnoxious lot from just across the slum dwellings
-
I always think of Neville Southall when I think of Everton fans
-
What are these "wools" and "wool areas" that he bangs on about?
Liverpudlian vernacular, m'lud. It comes from the word 'woolyback' referring to the rural areas around large cities.
-
Originally it was anyone from Lancashire or Cheshire but now the thick twats use it for anyone not from Liverpool.

I see. Ta.

I think the hatred goes back to the 3 League Cup Final Replays.
-
I was at Wembley the last time we won a trophy* yet I can't remember a time I took more pleasure from the exploits of Aston Villa than that Sunday afternoon in my bedroom, listening to the radio, when Ashley Young scored that goal.
*That's right, I'd rather watch the traffic on the north circular than the Peace Cup.

It's nothing to do with that; they just hate us for some unfathomable reason. It's even more weird than Coventry because they hated us while we didn't care one way or another about them. Everton hate us even though a lot of us have a good deal of respect for their club.
-
Why didn't Barry take the penalty?
Where is Okore?
Why do Everton hate us?
Some things are just never meant to be answered.

We could really do with a win today.

Well yes we do. As far as I can see its up to Cleverley to move up a few gears and dominate the midfield or at least put through a few searching passes for Benteke/Agbonlahor/Weimann to run on to. Is he capable?. We shall see.
-
Everton 2 Villa 3 for some reason.....
Famous last words.
Come on you Lions!
-
Everton 2 Villa 2
-
Alvarez in for Everton and the beast in for us
I've got quite a good feeling about this one
Which probably means we'll be a goal down in five minutes
