It is the right decision with how bad it is but it is also IMO really irritating, a night game there will be harder without doubt and yeah it does eat into our lead points wise. Points on board always better than games in hand.

 

It just feels like every thing that can possibly go against us in a season always does - PL games being called off due to weather are really, really rare happenings and of course it is us when it does happen now.

I feel the opposite, I think this works well for us. The game would have been an absolute lottery, we have a few players who could do with a breather, we can play a decent team midweek now and hopefully wrap that up with a high seed.

Didn't man city fake a covid crisis a couple of years ago coming into Xmas and it did them the world of good. 

 

Going off Wednesday the squad needs a little breather

I’m glad it’s off. Squad needs a break.

 

 

And I'd have run out of red wine an hour before the game anyway.

Seriously, cancelled because of this weather?

I'm not looking for webcams: I'm looking out of the window.  It's not safe to get tens of thousands of people travelling for a fucking game.

I hope we get sleet.

Is it «safe» to go to the pub?

 

Ill be tuning in to a live stream from Coopers shortly to find out.

It is great for the public here at Everton to see us. They must have been wondering what this team everyone is talking about are all about and now they’ve seen. We were wonderful.

Yeah. Fucking cretinous cunts.

[Bjornebye]

Trees down everywhere but yeah if Code wants people travelling from all over, broadcast staff, club and match staff, risk it so he can put his trotters up for the match fuck it. If people wanna go the pub that’s on them. 
 

[Bjornebye]

Nothing will stop people going to Coopers. I bet it was chocker in there during the blitz with the sirens wailing

I love about 1-2 miles from Goodison. The weather is bad now and has been steadily worsening all morning. You couldn’t play football in this, especially as Goodison has open points at the corners of the ground. It’s basically be a wind tunnel.

mate when your bins have congregated by themselves in the middle of your drive, your fence has blown over and your Christmas wreath is hoopla around the lamppost you know the game is off.

I'd have much preferred game to be taking place albeit in normal conditions.

That rings a bell alright. The issue here is TNT will be cannibalising their own CL coverage. I don't know how much sway each party gets in the decision but I reckon TNT would love to keep it until late April. The way the broadcasting works, TNT are usually down to the scraps by the time the run in starts, they have usually used up their Liverpool quota anyway. 

I think you can play top flight games on CL nights but not have them broadcast live.

 

This will be a complication if TNT say they still wish to have this fixture as a live game when it is played and likely mean we end up playing it later.

Will there be tens of thousands of people in Coopers? No? Then stop being a prick.

 

(Very few things boil my piss more than politicians and public officials being blasé about public safety.  It's a fucking game.  So you've had a wasted journey? Tough! Stop whining.)

I'm happy it's off, it was positioned really bad for us. We now get a breather before the Xmas madness and perhaps play semi decent sides in the cup games.

Wednesday 1st January looks an option. Both teams play on Sunday 29th December, Everton at home to Forest, us away to West Ham. Everton then play Bournemouth on Saturday 4th January, whilst we play the Mancs on Sunday 5th January. I was surprised that there weren’t games scheduled for New Year’s Day anyway, as there are most years. 
 

That looks favourable to me, as it means we get to play the game just over three weeks after it was due to be played.

Interesting shout.

[Atticus Finch]

Pleased it’s called off for all the reasons already stated on here but I wonder why  the other North West based games haven’t?

I think the mancs game might be in danger too. They are probably waiting a bit though.

[diamondjoe]

Foaming at the mouth wound up blues against lads running on fumes woulda meant a guaranteed kick in the bollocks with all the associated hysterical fannyitis that would've ensued. 

I can live without that. 

And fuck Arsenal. 

[El Rojo]

Code’s attitude to this is like when Stringvest was moaning about the Pompeii derby being called off after Vesuvius erupted.
