Everton v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Everton have seemed to have a big chip on their shoulders about us for a long time. Personally I think it's because they rarely beat us and have won less than us.

And according to WMP we've sold 1,139 tickets.

Everton never bothered me in the slightest until this week when they well and truly shafted my brother, so I hope they get well and truly shafted themselves by Villa this weekend before spiralling into financial meltdown which sees them being deducted enough points to be relegated thereby saving Villa. Yes, that would be nice.

'The People's Club' can be filed alongside 'Proud History, Bright Future'.

Everton are the best team i've seen at VP this season,

 they were just awesome that day with Fellani, Bains and Pienaar ripping us apart,  and i left thinking they would be a shoe in for a top 4 spot, then they went and lost at Reading !
 anyway i'm not to optimistic about this one but if we are to stop the rot we need to get something from this game, so i'm going for a point (Heart not Head)

I don't have anything against Everton.  But then I don't have anything against most clubs.  Except Leicester.

I plead the Acker Dictum. "There's 92 clubs. An' I 'ate 91 of 'em."

I just can't muster up that level of animosity.  I mean saying you hate Leyton Orient, for instance, would just make you sound like a div: "Fuckin' Orient, they boil my piss."  Some things just aren't meant to be hated.  Unlike Leicester.

My closest game to travel to - 9 miles or thereabouts - always go, always meet up with my Evertonian mates, always have a great time, win draw or lose.
Tomorrow - I can`t be arsed. If the owner and CEO and manager can`t be why the Feck should I?
We will be trounced - Everton`s biggest victory over us for donkeys years. Another name in the coffin.

That's quite a low turnout isn't it

Totally agree with the Leicester thing. Bunch of ............. Well, i cannot think of a word that describes those wankers......... oh, just did.

Hope he goes with a similar team to that which finished the Newcastle game with possible Sylla in for Gabby. Weimann has to play if fit and we need to approach it with the same urgency and aggression we did that second half on Tuesday. The time for (attempting) pretty football is over.

5-0 SYLLIA 2 HOME GOALS

[ACVilla]

I've had £30 on Villa to win at 7/1.

If we lose this game I will be firmly in the "we're doomed camp" but we're not going to and I ain't gonna be.

Game of the season, UTV.

For once i will use my head and not my heart when i predict this,4 -1 to them ,yet again our defence will opened up with ease.

Indeed. That game is often used as an example of how shit we are, but it's ignored that Everton put in the best performance i've seen from them at VP since their mid 80's title winning sides.
