[Archived] Rovers 0 Everton 0

[Hughesy]

Home game, lost only 2 there this season. I see a win for rovers. 2-1 Stead to score the winner

[G Somerset Rover]

Everton are as stingy at conceding goals as Doug Ellis is with his chequebook. It will be a tight game, with neither side giving much away, however I'd go with either 0-0 or 0-1 Everton.

[SharrockDownSouth]

0-0

[Ossydave]

So will YOU take me up on the bet?

Love to - shall we say a tenner?

Was thinking a little more than a tenner. £50?

[American]

I'll bet you 20 pounds, with the loser having to give the money to the site.

Could I simply say that Ossydave's location is "Not Given"?

If you want to. It's Ossy, a few on here can vouch for me.

[broadsword]

We don't know where Dave from Ossy lives?

Yep, 'tis a mystery.

I can certainly vouch for the Ossy alcoholic

Everton's official site reckon 40% of the crowd on Saturday will be Everton fans!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

So they haven't sold out yet but expect 40% of the crowd to be Everton!.............

[SAS]

I think someone from that site has not been doing there maths.

22,000 - 7,500 = 14,500

which would mean nearly 2 blackburn fans for every one everton.

which means around 30% everton

[Manchester Blue]

They are also ignoring the fact that Spurs only brought about 2,000 so if we have the same amount of home fans again then the attendance should be nearer 28,000. Other than that they are spot on.

Anyway back to this bet come on Scotty I know you love a gamble and after all, £50 is peanuts to you. Beers on you if you win.

Blackburn Rovers wins draws Everton wins

League 53 27 52

FA Cup 2 1 7

Other 0 0 2

Total 55 28 61

A bit of history shows we are shading it in the league- by one! Unfortunately the results at Ewood in the last 5 are: W L W L W - all pointing to a L on Saturday

No probs. I'd have thought £50 would be about a months wages for someone from Ossy but, if you're prepared to not eat for a month then I'll gladly take it off your hands.

£50 bet - Everton to finish 6th or higher. May the best man win.

Stats backing up what I said on the previous page.

They did the double over us in 02/3 and we did the same last season. Omens...

[neophox]

I would play like this against Everton on saturday:

Friedel

Neill, Todd, Johansson, Gray

Emerton, Reid/Douglas, Ferguson, Pedersen

Stead, Gallacher/Bothroyd

Bench:

Dickov (too small and miss sitters)

the other two

Enckelman

why not Sergio Peter or Jemal Johnson.

Out of bench:

Matteo (still crap when he comes up against a good side, palace were poor)

Jansen (still injured)

[LeChuck]

Friedel

Neill, Todd, Johansson, Gray

Emerton, Reid/Douglas, Ferguson, Pedersen

Stead, Gallacher/Bothroyd

Replace Reid/Douglas with Flitcroft and I would agree with that, given the strength of Everton's central midfield I don't think experiment with either of those would be a good idea. The rest looks good though, however I'm expecting:

Friedel

Neill Short Todd Matteo

Reid Flitcroft Ferguson Emerton

Dickov Bothroyd

[SuperStella]

from bbc.co.uk

Blackburn will be without midfielder David Thompson who serves a one-match ban after being sent off in the goalless draw at Crystal Palace.

Andy Todd should shake off an ankle knock to partner Craig Short in the centre of Rovers' defence.

Everton defender Alessandro Pistone is expected to shake off a knee strain.

A further boost for boss David Moyes is the return of striker Kevin Campbell for the first time in a month with a busy festive programme ahead.

Blackburn (from): Friedel, Enckelman, Dickov, Short, Douglas, Emerton, Ferguson, Flitcroft, De Pedro, Gray, Johansson, Matteo, Neill, Stead, Pedersen, Gallagher, Reid, Todd, Bothroyd.

Everton (from): Martyn, Hibbert, Weir, Stubbs, Pistone, Carsley, Gravesen, Cahill, Kilbane, Osman, Bent, Ferguson, McFadden, Wright, Watson, Yobo, Naysmith, Chadwick, Campbell.

[Hughesy]

According to a Everton supporters site, they have only 60 tickets remaining for tomorrows game.

[Grabbi Graeme]

I'm not sure about this one, maybe this is the game that starts Everton's slide or there again maybe not.

With Everton's very good defence I cant see us getting much from them, hoping for a 0-0 but just maybe we could sneak a goal

[northernrover]

don't know if anyone else has said about this song but here it is;

feed the dingles, let them know it's christmas time.

ps has northern rover got a fiat

what???

[thenodrog]

Looking at the team sheets..... and taking nothing away from Evertons success this season but I think we should be looking to win this game.

Given a free choice the only players that are stronger 'on paper' than ours and that I would bring into out team like a shot are Graveson and Stubbs.

btw I do freely admit that the Prem league tables are also printed 'on paper' too.
