Four down at home to Brighton after 55 minutes. Is this finally their year ?
I think there are better teams around them this season and they don't have a goalscorer, unlike last year when they had Richarlison.Same as last season, they are very poor with a poor manager but wont go down. Lampard won't last much longer
I think Southampton Bournemouth and Forest will go downI think there are better teams around them this season and they don't have a goalscorer, unlike last year when they had Richarlison.
I was at that game. If memory serves me correctly, we were short of strikers due to injury and that hard but limited midfielder Gerry Casey was up front. We battled but quality told. I think a young Joe Royal scored?March 1968. FA cup. Got beat 2-0, hooked ever since!
I thought that there was a million packed into Goodison that afternoon!
Thehe truth is, they are not good at the moment, however a few good results could change things and I don't think they will go to down, and I don't believe the other team will qualify for European champions league.
I think Forest might stay up, possibly also Bournemouth.Same as last season, they are very poor with a poor manager but wont go down. Lampard won't last much longer
Indeed, your memory is correct. I was there too. When the draw was made, I was confident. We had beaten Coventry in the previous round and were in good form. In George Yardley, we had the leading goalscorer in all four divisions. Unfortunately, George suffered a horrendous injury a few days before the match. A high tackle In a league game cost him a kidney and nearly ended his career. We had no replacement as so brought in Gerry Casey, a very hard but limited player whose main claim to fame was being sent off on his football league debut. Under the circumstances, a 2-0 defeat was a very good performance.I was at that game.

to be honest, all I can remember is the excitement, the smoke, the huge crowd and of course the noise.I was at that game.

Rumoured to have had a bid turned down for Danny Ings so looks like trying to strengthenI think they’ll drop. They cannot score goals due to their awful options up front.
They are still struggling to comply with FFP, so their options will probably be more limited than the teams they are competing against.Rumoured to have had a bid turned down for Danny Ings so looks like trying to strengthen
The guy in the tall hat was not me! (LOL!).to be honest, all I can remember is the excitement, the smoke, the huge crowd and of course the noise.
The only other thing was pre match and at the Park End, there was a guy with a tall hat who conducted the singing.
Yes, from basic knowledge Joe Royle did score along with a certain Johnny Morrissey.....
