I've done it a few times at Goodison, if anyone remembers Micah's bar and in equaliser in the last minute I actually celebrated a little but everyone around me was sound.

I've done it a few times at various grounds but only for non televised games. I'd rather watch it in the pub than have to sit there mute.

That's the problem. Also it's kind of annoying when you concede and you have to look pleased about it.

Only problem I've had is that the twat I'm going with is nudging me trying to rub it in further. I've found that if you just stand up with a blank expression on your face, everybody's too busy fist bumping to even slightly notice.

That's great just put it on reminder, wife is well pleased :( now what about Fri?

Friday we all flap on here :)

And there will be incessant pre-match bickering. I guarantee it. Its the nerves. It was awful on here the week before the QPR game. It might have been QPR at home but people were shitting it all week long and snarling at each other.

Speak for yourself
 
Was Pellegrini-like in my calm and serenity until I read this thread.
Today will be starting my annual ritual of watching thr Godfather Trilogy to take my mind off bloody daft football.

My worst experience was trying to stop myself reacting to James penalty save at Leicester in 2004. Nearly burst several blood vessels in my face trying to stifle a scream of joy.
 
Pumped up like an old geezer on Viagra for this one.

Same starting 11 against Palace, Comon boyz, lets come home with those precious 3 points.
 
On Everton's leading fans forum GOT, they have been running a vote. Whether fans would rather win or lose. Since the results at weekend and Monday almost all the "new" votes have been for them to lose. The thread was started over a month ago, when they had every chance of securing CL football. ATM 76 % have voted for them to win but I suspect if the vote was restarted, the vast majority would now rather deny Liverpool the liklihood of winning the league and lose. Many Everton fans are joking about being "mancs for a day". This is probably the only game in football history where City fans could openly declare their true allegiance in the Everton end and receive sympathy and support?

Surprised at so much negativity on here. I can understand being sensibly cautious and not being cocky and arrogant like liverpool fans were being, BUT we need to understand that our players will be completely up for this; they know that we had almost certainly lost our chance of the title when we were unlucky at anfield and drew at home to Sunderland, they have now been given an unexpected chance to win the league, do you really think these players are going to easily let that chance slip away? We can of course draw or lose, as any team can in any match, but we have big game players, and they will be completely up for this big game, whereas everton's players know that it is extremely unlikely that arsenal will fail to beat both west brom and Norwich, and that they blew their chances against palace and Southampton. The like of Yaya, Sergio, Vinnie, Zabba, Joe etc know what is needed

Well put, totally agree

Everton manager Roberto Martinez on knowing a win would help Liverpool's Premier League title hopes: "It is going to be a phenomenal test and we want to finish really strong at home.

"I always felt the relationship between the two clubs in the city has had incredible chapters and this would be another fascinating chapter. There is no doubt of our integrity - we want to win every game we go into.

"We are looking at ourselves because these are precious points. We can't afford not to give everything we have. Helping other teams is not the way we do things. We focus on trying to win for ourselves."
Everton boss Roberto Martinez is hopeful Phil Jagielka will be in the squad for Manchester City on Saturday. Sylvain Distin will train today and be assessed ahead of weekend.

He also comments on the fairness of loan players not being able to face parent clubs, with Gareth Barry ruled out for Saturday.

He said: "In my eyes, when you reach an agreement to allow a player to go, either on loan or permanently, he should be able to play. The fairest way is what we saw last night with Courtois."

Which is all very fair-minded except that, on those terms, he wouldn't have had the benefit of Barry for the rest of the season.

yes it is, of course it is, I was just trying to offer some comfort, like a Bluemoon Samaritans service. I am much more serene this time than I was coming up to Newcastle, but that is probably because we have won the PL recently. I was flapping more about my neverton ticket taking 8 days to arrive

fair play, but i honestly don't know whether a nice soothing calming influence is better, or realising there are other berks like me also flapping to high heaven about saturday. either way, i can't wait. its may, and we still have something to play for (which doesn't involve relegation). i will never get bored of this
