The Footie Thread

[AmandaJR]

Interesting, I expected to come on here and read many comments condemning Everton FC and the fans for booing and chanting over the national anthem... Strangely quiet.

As for the result... Absolutely immense result, that's a huge step in the right direction and also does my boys a favour in our 1% chance of getting top 4.

Now onto another 6 pointer game.... Got to love football.

Not everyone has BT...if I had I'd be saying they were as bad as the Liverpool fans. On the basis it's allegedly due to the way the City feels picked on by the establishment then I guess it's no surprise the blue half were equally disrespectful.

just as you think you can sit back and accept the inevitable..........

Fun fact, first time we have scored 5 away from home since 96 v Sheff Wednesday . Sorry @Beezerk . Let's hope we haven't used all of our goals up in this one game.

16% of our season’s goals in one game.

Let’s hope so! Today started so well and Brighton did their best to ruin it.

Forest have named just about the strongest XI they have, so if we can’t do the job tonight, there’s no hope (or very little)

Forest have to win tonight, otherwise I think they're toast. It really is an intriguing end to the PL season with some big teams battling it out to avoid the drop.

Everton fully deserved their win tonight, totally outplayed Brighton in the first half.

Taking nothing away from Everton but had Brighton started with the subs that came on 2nd half I'm sure the outcome would have been different.
Good luck Everton!

Not going to lie that felt good but the problem is it’s rekindled a bit of hope and that’ll kill me.

Must say I'm glad we are out of it now.

Didn't see this result coming (don't think any did really)

But looking at that table it could really be the difference

Leeds run in looks awful

Well, unsurprisingly Everton are essentially Burnley in Pink. Brighton just decided not to defend the counter and couldn’t cope with Everton’s physicality.

The sooner Sean Dyche doesn’t exist in football the better. His football teams are horrific. Everything aligned for Everton today, but good god they’re dull!

And here’s me thinking we were friends

People are entitled to their opinion.

great display from Everton .
lots of fight when the chips are down.
that’s what fans want from their team.

Leicester play liverpool next at home, Newcastle away after that. Equally as tough as the Leeds run.

You guys are key, playing both Leeds and Leicester before the end of the season. No saving yourself for Europe or thinking of the beach

Wouldn't surprise me if we don't get another point

It's all about Europe now , got to try and win a trophy

Hey, we might still be car sharing down to Hillsborough to see our teams in the championship next season .

It would be criminal if you don't come up through the play offs this year. So far ahead of the rest.

After all the talk about managers not playing good enough football ( fat Sam etc ) then I wonder how long it will take for Dyche to be turned on. He will keep them in the Prem each year

Keep scoring 5 away from home and they won’t care…

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Stonking match at Forest already. It's like cup football.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I think most fans would be pretty happy if their team scored 5 every week. That would be pretty entertaining.

 

[Swango1980]

13 goals in 7 matches over weekend.

17 goals in the 3 matches today (so far). Pretty entertaining day.

 

[Billysboots]

Hmmm. I’m reassessing my suggestion that Forest will go down. On the basis that I can’t see Leeds or Leicester getting another point I think that Forest penalty just relegated them both with Southampton.

Can’t see anything other than a Forest win now.

 

[Deleted member 18121]

Ward prowse dead ball delivery is pretty special.... I wonder where he'll end up if saints go down.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

This game must be ageing both sets of fans. Southampton are cutting Forest open at the back.

Dyche's Burnley or Kompany's Burnley? The two are night and day apart
