Justice for the called off game!

have everton been informed

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Just checking the trains and some of the early ones to Euston are cancelled from Manchester.
The 8.55 and 9.35

Normal day then.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Well there’s plenty of our fans on the train from Piccadilly and Stockport from what I’m hearing. Stay safe and take care out there lads and lasses.

 

[manimanc]

Will our game survive the weather?

I don't think London have it that bad do they?

Stay safe to all you lot going down there today.

Don’t think it’s due to be that bad in London so I’d be suprised if it’s off.

 

[Norbiton]

It’s calmed down a bit in London, very strong winds and heavy rain most of the night. If it isn’t called off in the next hour I don’t think it’s going to get any worse.

 

[wattle]

I was there 6 months ago and it was sunny.

I’m going to dipperpool today to see my son and last time I went a few weeks ago it wasn’t windy at all so don’t see what the problem is

Last time I went about 2 years ago it was very windy!

I think it's all the hot air the locals generate

 

[Blue Steel]

Bit blowy and rainy in London but really not that bad at all, certainly not even to think about calling anything off (FWIW the horse racing at Sandown Park is going ahead).

Standard winter weather really!

 

[Fordyboy46]

Absolute joke!

I was on a works do there last night mate and there was no wind Liverpool just won't be up for it more like!!

Yep, give them extra rest time

 

[Fordyboy46]

50mph winds in Croydon, strong enough

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Did you listen to an Everton fan Called Steve on Talksport the other day, powerful stuff, wondered if they played it to the Everton players before the Wolves match

I heard it yes. Fair play to the guy. True passion.

 

[SkyBlueSW19]

Windy and rainy here in Wimbledon, not too far from Croydon. Blustery, as they say. It's weather that might fold your umbrella with the occasional gust, but suitable for football.

 

[mac]

Come on City get it won points on 5he board

 

[pavelsrnicek]

Very much a must win game, we need to build on Wednesday’s performance. Hopefully KDB is able to play as well as Akanji. I thought Gvardiol’s role on Wednesday really suited him but unless Akanji is fit Lewis will be the one stepping into midfield.

We need to see repeat performances from Doku and Grealish and hopefully Haaland gets getter service.

It will be a tough one, their tails will be up after their win away to Ipswich but if we can play as we did Wednesday but without the few defensive errors then we should be fine.

 

[babyape]

I’m just down the road from Palace and it’s absolutely rank here. And not looking like easing anytime

 

[tommy116]

Yep, give them extra rest time

Another fixture later in the season to screw up the dippers schedule, when hopefully they'll have hit a poor run of form and have a few injuries.

 

[MarsLlama]

IF the game goes ahead I feel pretty good about it. KDB is back and that's good enough for me.

 

[Ric]

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Hopefully keep the run going and close the gap.

In conditions like this it does become a bit of a leveller though.

It Will be a battle today that's no doubt!
