    Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous.

     

    I don't ask for much.

     

    This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up.

     

    Saturday lunchtime kick-off after the international break. We've been dumped in this slot more than any other side in recent years, and this is merely the second of three in a row, as we have City away after November's international break. I don't like the lunchtime kick-offs which are solely for the far east TV market as it's peak time for them. It's worse when it follows an international break, as loads of players will be returning from South America, Africa and Asia, arriving back in the UK with little time to prepare for the clubs that pays their wages after all. Get rid of the lunchtime kick-offs, especially following an international break.

     

    Anyway, the shite. Last season's game saw us run out comfortable 2-0 winners. Everton could have broken the deadlock when they hit the post following a header from a corner. Instead, we charged up the other end in time-honoured Red Arrows style, with Darwin flying down the left and playing the ball in to Mo to cushion a volley into the empty net. Empty net because T-Rex "sent himself for an Echo", as they say up in those parts, as he totally misread the cross and somehow ended up positioned 10 yards from his goal and outside the far post. Only the third daftest thing ol' Pickford has done at Anfield too (pride of place going to his assist for big Div's classic, followed by blatant time-wasting only to lose the game and have Ali rip the piss out of him 2 seasons ago). I love those rapid Reds counters that end up in a goal. Almost as much as Dave, although given the way he describes them he might as well be Randy Marsh at the computer! Cody got his first goal for the club early in the second half with a far post tap-in of the sort he's made a habit of scoring in a Reds shirt. Tom Davies roused himself off the London Fashion Week catwalks for the Ev's best chance late on but could only guide his far post diving header well wide. The points belonged to us.

     

    Everton have been very inconsistent this term and mostly shite, with the inconsistency and shitness of the teams around them keeping them out of the bottom 3 again.

     

    As I write prior to the next round of internationals on Tuesday and Wednesday, I don't know what sort of squad Jurgen will have available. Thiago won't be available obviously, and Curtis still has a game or two of his suspension left to serve. Robbo suffered a dislocated shoulder against the Spaniards and will be out for a while, so Kostas will need to step in for the foreseeable. Other than that, hopefully we have a full compliment. Concentration, attitude, motivation and application are needed. This is a derby. No matter the disparity between the sides, we go out there and put them to the sword, and be on it from the beginning right the way through. 3 points please. Get it done!

     

    Negged for starting the thread and my dread.

    I'd imagine the main reason we sweved Sancho was because of the stories about him being lazy and always being late for training. At one point Dortmund had to get a coach to pick him up every morning and drive him in to training!

     

    There were loads of warning signs about his poor off field behaviour.

     

    I remember loads of people wetting their knickers when we didn't try to get him. Seems that our policy of checking players are sound works most of the time 

  3. Amazing how Israel have turned into the victims of the overall conflict in the last 48 hours. 

     

    I'm not playing the numbers of overall deaths game but it's just fascinating how a lot of public opinion has swung so much.

  4. Mixed day of manliness in my house. 

     

    High

     

    I changed the rear indicator bulbs in my car in under 5 minutes. 

     

    Low

     

    I left my hazards on after using it to check and my battery went flat 

     

    High

     

    Jump started it with a neighbor which involved removing a stupidly overelaborate battery cover and adaptors. 

     

     

    Overall a win.

    This analogy would work here if your missus came along as you were doing the painting and said nothing on the basis that you'd already started.

  6. To be honest I feel loads better having listened to it. 

     

    We've all been there, dropped an absolute clanger at work and it's too late to do anything about it.  Their dejected voices realised they'd dropped a bollock.  "Delay delay" "can't do anything!" "Oh *explective"

     

    It reminds me of the time I was moving house and went to paint the room KidD was going to be in.  Me and my dad, proper father son bonding, painting together.  Job well done, in the pub.  My missus rings me, I'd painted the wrong room. 

     

    No conspiracy, no clandestine UAE payments. Just pure, unfiltered incompetency. 

     

    It'll never happen again because they'll change the rules to say they can stop the game if "human error" does something.
