Everton v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[eamonn]

1-2. Felliani 78. A. Young 6, 17.

Fellaini, aka Simon Barlow from Corrie's hair inspiration, is crocked.

No disrespect to anyone, but I can't understand why people 'have a feeling we'll win this one', in fact 27 people do.

Why?

Because we're not all wrist-slashing miserablists.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to lose, in fact it would royally piss me off, I certainly won't just shrug my shoulders at it.
Going to all the home games season in, season out get's you like that.

I had a strong feeling we would lose to Wolves, probaly 1-0,  and I have strong feeling we will win here, probably 1-0 with A Young getting the goal late on.  No reason or logic to it, just a gut feeling.

[WikiVilla]

Its been a strange season and us nicking something up there would fit right in, we Would however on that logic then lose at home to the barcodes

Friedal sounding confident as ever. Wish I shared his optimism.

[WikiVilla]

Wish the players would stop mouthing off to the press and just do their talking on the pitch

Quite so Mark.  I'm not sure why it makes you a "wrist slashing miserablist" not to expect to win this one.  We hardly ever win up there, and our away form is shit.  I'd say in this case, "realsitic" would be a fairer description.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Because you are a wrist-slashing miserablist Risso :-)

On the realistic side though, I'd say this was a nailed-on loss.

Pass me the razor.

I'm sitting here with 200 aspirin and a bottle of Vodka. Before I do anything silly, can somebody please tell me who's injured for Everton? Then I'll decide if I think it will make any fucking difference.

Saha, Arteta and him with the funny hair, Fellatio?, are out, I believe.

From the Everton official site (which was so garish, it hurt my eyes)

Coleman and Rodwell face fitness tests.

Seamus Coleman is a cracking little player, i'd love him down here.

My Everton supporting mate says he's mustard.

   excellent.

Saha, Arteta and Sideshow Bob definitely out, and their next two best players facing fitness tests?

I'd say it's far from a nailed on victory for them.

Plus, any side that loses 1-4 at home to the Olbiyun isn't all that.

Would be happy enough with a minimum of two points from the next two games, and I wouldn't go as far as to say that I expect us to beat Everton, that it's a must win game and so on. TBH, providing we show a marked improvement on the Wolves no-show, and go down swinging this time, that will probably suffice.

I will have a lazy tenner on 2-1 Villa though.
