Popular Post Toffeenose Posted May 2, 2015 Popular Post Posted May 2, 2015 Hi, just saying well played today. I support Everton but come to rival boards sometimes. Mainly to see what rival fans think before I put in a bet on the accumulators. I do have a soft spot for Villa, since they seem to be in a similar predicament to Everton. It was our 200th game against each other. Founder members of the football league, and founder members of Premier league. Yet, I didn't see much of that in the media. If that had been Arsenal v mancs or Liverpool v chelsea etc, it would have been mentioned everywhere. But looks like the media like to think football began in 1992. It always seems to be a goal fest between us to. I was expecting a 2-2 or 3-3. I didn't expect us to win today, I thought we'd not turn up after the big win against United. I think Martinez made a mistake in dropping Barkley and Osman. You don't change a team that's winning. But sod that, Villa were excellent and been playing some great football lately and have been unlucky. It looks like you have a good coach in Sherwood. Hope Villa stay up. I'm gonna put a bet on villa for the cup. 35

John Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Welcome Toffeenose. I have always found Evertonians to be tough opponents but fair and decent fans.I very much enjoyed the banter with many of them in pubs before our three LCFs in 1977. The humour was very evident then as it was when Everton fans turned and clapped when we sang of going to Wembley today - how sorry we both must be that your neighbours will not be making the same trip! Your boys kept coming back at us today and never knew when they were beaten which was a credit to them. I would have taken a point before the game but all three were needed in hindsight given so many teams around us seem to be getting unexpected results. 200 up and looking forward to the next 2 games in 2015/16.
AValon Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Beating the in-form team was a big result for us today, especially as the Goodison fixture is nearly always the better game. Pre-Sherwood, I imagine the scoreline might have been very different.
dAVe80 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Got a few good mates who are toffees, so I've got a lot of time for Everton. I think we are very similar clubs. A grand old team indeed.

brommy Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks Toffeenose. I remember visiting anfield in 1989. I got a bit lost on my way back to the city centre and noticeably wearing my Villa colours I was stopped by a group of lads, a couple were wearing Everton shirts. They told me the best way to find Lime Street station and suggested I cover my colours as the many of the 'pool fans were idiotic thugs (or words to that effect). Thanking them for their advice I was soon approaching Lime Street with my jacket almost covering my Villa shirt. Unfortunately, as I walked past three idiotic thugs, they found it hilarious to try to push me over and spit on me. They were wearing Liverpool shirts. Memories of fans of teams stick for decades.
Artetasgirl Posted May 3, 2015 Visiting Supporter Posted May 3, 2015 I can only echo what the opening poster says. You thoroughly deserved that result yesterday, and the end scoreline flattered us. I think Martinez made an error changing the team from last week but no point dwelling on that when we are soundly beaten. Well done and good luck for the rest of the season, and the cup final. 1

Neil Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Everton fans, a redeeming quality that is darkened by the fans of the other side of that pond. Was nice seeing those ones that were saying good luck villa in the cup
