Try again next week I suppose...

Expecting a tough game. Would be nice if we were firing on somewhere near all cylinders after the sluggish performances to start the season.

 

[Spurger King]

Let's fuck up that vile cluster of whinging bastards.

Expecting a tough game. Would be nice if we were firing on somewhere near all cylinders after the sluggish performances to start the season.

We'd be on 9 points if Harry could score in August - wouldn't have been so sluggish.

It'll be a a tough game though because we always miss a season full of chances against Everton for some reason.

 

[Guntz]

Llorente will 100% score a towering header if he comes on.

 

[yankspurs]

The Premier League is back. Again. Thank fuck. Very excited for this. Would love to see Aurier, Llorente and Sanchez play a part.

 

[Clark28]

We should name Barkley on the bench just to wind them up

 

[teok]

So nice having football at 3 pm on a Saturday.

 

[easley91]

We tend to pick up after the international break. Expect at least a draw, but hoping Kane gets going and Llorente gets a goal.

 

[shelfboy68]

Tough game obviously hoping for a win after the two poor home results, even a draw would do but certainly we need to start picking up points at home.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I don't like Everton one bit.

 

[coys200]

Sanchez is superb in air from set pieces and we obviously know about Llorente.might actually score from a corner if eriksen can beat first man lol.But defo gives us another dimension and plan B

May I be the first to say...

[Spurs throw-in] "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Im glad it's not just me that thinks this. Never known such a moaning bunch of fans. Boos will start after the first tackle.

I have a soft spot for Everton but their fans really are pathetic. Must be a scouse thing.

 

[Lemon]

Have a soft spot for Everton, once went to a game with a couple of former Everton players and met up with an old school mate (Matt Jackson), then went into the managers office where Kendall was getting bladdered (looked it when we arrived).

Still, let's smash 'em.

Ditto

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Might put something on Llorente coming off the bench and scoring. I don't usually get optimistic about playing Everton away- we normally have to sweat and scrap for a point
