    Over 20 years later and I'd drop the new stadium and move back to Roker Park (if it was still there) at the drop of a hat. I have a feeling Goodison will always be home to you, the soul of the place doesn't carry over to the new stadium.

    Nice of Everton to let Atalanta use our training ground. We also hosted a training march for them at Goodison a few years ago, letting them win 1-5 ......

    I very much disagree, on balance.

    Has he changed his wallpaper? And if so, is there a shop in Wales specialising in vintage 70s decor?

    It really does depend on what lens you view these games through

    Is Nkounkou any good?

    He’s looked decent going forwards, not sure about his defensive abilities tbh. Pretty sure he’s a converted winger.

    Probably means we’ll be sticking with 3 at the back now, with Nkounkou on the left and Iwobi on the right.

    Leicester are currently losing to Portuguese outfit Braga. Only half time though so plenty of time yet.

    Can easily see Molde nicking a goal and Arsenal huffing away to nil effect.

    These groups are dire. It was a semi-interesting competition when it was a straight knockout.

    That's a bad one for you, good player.

    Pepe found his level. Good for him.

    No ****.

    Both our first choice attacking full backs now out. If it was just one of them we could still play the 4-3-3 but without both it’ll have to be the 3-5-2 we played at Fulham imo. Which only works when you’re bold and both wing backs push on, otherwise you’re penned in. Our December fixture list is a mare, I think we’re ****ed tbh.
