1-3 and into the CL.

[cdbearsfan]

2-0 up, lose 3-2. Some thirteen year old who will never be heard of again to come off the bench and score the winner in the 107th minute.

2-0

Let’s do these wastes of time. 

[PhilVill]

Hopefully they have extra time and pens midweek. We will win by two whatever.

And a really intrusive customs search on the way back.

We need the EL final to go to penalties, them ideally to pick up some injuries, and to lose, thereby ensuring the place is flat as it can be on Sunday.

Don't want them having the boost of parading a trophy before kick off.

And I know, that means Spurs winning something, which makes the back of my mouth flood with sick, but needs must.

I also would not automatically assume Newcastle beat Everton on Sunday.

Newcastle missing out would be glorious.

Villa/Forest/Everton wins. That's the Sunday dream.

I feel like Everton went all out to win the last game at Goodison. I reckon they'll probably spend half the week on the piss now they've done it and not give any more of a shit next week than we did at Selhurst Park last season, but I hope you're right.

I don't think it'll make a massive difference either way (the fact that they're not very good is obviously the big thing in play), but I think it's just as likely that a win on Wednesday and they see their season as done, and are already checked out by Sunday.

Last season we had our "season's goal achieved" moment, and rather than take that euphoria and sense of achievement into our next match decided we were done and to just let Palace walk all over us even more than they normally do.

Why are Everton players celebrating hard again?

[PaulWinch again]

Win - just win. I don’t care how, just win the bloody game.

[Lsvilla]

Don't suppose there's any spares going ?

Also add a Spanish air traffic contollers strike delaying their return. When they do finally get a flight out a computer outrage closes Manchester airport diverting their flight to Birmingham. Then a nightmare 14 hour coach journey north on the M6 due to Just Stop Oil protests around the Ray Hall interchange. When they finally clear this Animal Liberation protesters have stopped a lorry by Keele services releasing pigs onto the motorway. When the players finally make it home to their various cheshire mansions, most of them find burglars have broken into their empty homes in a coordinated operation stealing expensive jewellery, medals, and other bling.
