'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

Pards in at West Brom to take them as far as he can

Dangerously close to the Albion Christmas party.

So, Sammy Lee. In the catalogue of players I've seen score against Everton in Goodison derbies, I'd rather have David Johnson on the EFC staff, for obvious reasons. Plus Lee was offside (18/10/80).

What about Sammy Lee?

Joining Allardyce at Goodison, apparently. Where he will then bounce on the ground, I expect.

Plus Lee was offside (18/10/80).

:D

(are those showing up? i've a no-link policy wrt the DM so copy pasted them)

surely the fact that Sammy was crap is a mitigating factor?

For a club paying twp a million a month?

Mitigating in the sense that it's ok to have a Red on the bench because he wasn't very good? He seemed to do just fine in that Paisley side.

Anyway, other supposedly lousy Liverpool players who've scored against us in derbies: Rosenthal, Babbel, Kewell, Alan Frigging Waddle, Crazy Horse, Brian Bloody Hall, ok that's enough. (You're forgetting all the own goals, Mike!)

babbel was pretty good imo.

what we'd give for babbel, henchoz, hyypia and... ziege or whoever these days.

Pards and Allardyce back in one day. What a time to be alive.

Apryl in Pallardyce

babbel was pretty good imo.

yeah wtf leave babbel out of this! he was decent (still is)

Still is? He retired in 2007. I'm talking Markus, not Ryun. But fair enough, I only really mentioned him because he was basically a non-scoring defender who somehow managed to get one in a derby. I guess he was well regarded. Hall too. I'm not back-pedalling on Emlyn though.

We were 2-0 up in that match when Lee scored, btw. Ended 2-2. (We were played off the park, Jim McDonagh made half a dozen ridiculous saves. It was terrifying).

ah right i thought you were referring to Ryan

markus was better than ryan imo.

Markus a very solid plays-full-back-probably-prefers-centre-half def

In my mind he was doing the whole marauding attacking fullback thing really early for the Premiership. I always thought he got a horrifically bad injury but didn't know about his illness, he just seemed to disappear altogether.

My paid (!) sportsing channel always broadcasts all EPL games but tonight decided to only broadcast... Everton-WHU tonight. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They're not even really broadcasting the match; I've seen more 'Big Sam in the stands'-shots than actual fitba.

a preview of Everton games to come

Psyched LBI and the rest of the Nethlands is being treated to the renaissance of TWP.

Netherlands, even.

Impressive to see Moyes having such an immediate effect on West Ham

Damn you. xxp

I've got a Russian stream from the Emirates. We conceded early to a pretty tidy goal, but otherwise Arsenal aren't looking that impressive at all, and we should have had a pen - but as Burnley learned on saturday - these fuckers still get the bigclub special reffing.

We have started with Quaner who is so clumsy and inept 90% of the time that he sometimes lulls defences into a false sense of security.

Peak Moyes to be brought in as the saviour lord jesus christ only to lose 4/5-0 to a team in possibly even more disarray.

Dutch tv otm.

Is Van la Parra still injured?

VLP is suspended, he sent at the death against City.

Just our luck that Everton start getting their act together just before we play them.

We are missing him as well.

sent off at the death

Ahh yes, ta.

No despair, wouldn't say Everton are getting their act together just yet. I mean they are playing a Moyes side tbf.

How has Solanke been doing?

I can hear Moyes yelling at his players for all of the first half now. But I don't think the players can hear him.

can't believe that this is how rooney pays moyes back for all the faith he put in him

It's not very nice.

lol! Giroud goes around a stranded Lossl and misses an empty net.

West Ham actually bossing this second half. Comedy capers at the back for Everton.

Arnautovic though... They actually paid 28 million for that dude. Incredible waste of money.

ffs just completely undone in 2 minutes. All started by fucking Hadergjonaj cheaply giving the ball away.

It gets even worse!

Oh dear..

West Ham come to life at last

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport chief football writer at Goodison Park

West Ham's start to the second half carries all the hallmarks of a team given the most almighty rollocking at half-time.

Pickford saves a pen

(sorry but this is the entertainment I have tonight, after a hard days work, and I'm adamant to make the most of it. Distopia for the masses)

O_o

Christ SV you weren't kidding about TWP's resurrection :D

Screamer from 50 yards
