[Archived] Everton Preview

[mode_m]

very excited for the first game, if Villanueva doesn't start I hope to see him play as a sub.

might be a shaky start for both teams but I am going to have to go with Rovers on top 1 - 0 with Gamst scoring the lone goal on a free kick...

[TrentVilla]

Evening all.

I've enjoyed reading and posting on here this summer so with my boys not playing until Sunday I'll be following your progress on Saturday especially as I'm no fan of Everton.

Best of luck lads.

Its always great for supporters of other teams to come on here and give their views despite what others may think.

Rovers and Villa have had some glorious tussles over the years and I have fond memories of Villa Park victories as well as a few undeserved defeats !

Just be good enough to swamp those city mongs on Sunday.

tally Hooooo

Cheers. Always liked Rovers and yes we've had some good games down the years with the odd thrashing thrown in for us both to have to suffer.

Looking forward to my first trip to Ewood this year the only ground I've never made it to in the top flight.

I have a feeling we may stuff Citeh on Sunday which would be nice as I have no time for them lot.

[DeadlyDirk]

Well pre season is finally over, just about, and the season is upon us, I can't wait!

Let's do em boys, 2-1 Rovers!

For those of you interested I've just posted my first blog on BRFCS giving a very detailed view on the last couple of months and the season ahead, if anyone is interested in reading it then feel free to check out, it is nearly 5000 words long I think though haha, I had a lot to say about the club I love!

Nope, its against forum rules.

I agree it feels ages since we last played a proper match. I still think we have a greater chance of losing this game than winning it, though a draw might be possible and would be a good result.

[CAPT KAYOS]

This may sound strange but this has the writings of a draw all over it.

However, I juts have a good feeling about it and 3-1 keeps popping into my head.

I see a few others have gone for the same

Sod it - 3 - 1 t'Rovers

[Hughesy]

If posting streaming links is not allowed then I also think telling people which pubs have it on should also be the same on this board.

[vizcaya]

Everton 1 Blackburn Rovers 2

Dunn & Santa Cruz for Rovers, Robinson to let in a soft goal from someone (like a long shot from P Neville).

Bookings: 2 a piece

C'mon the Rovers!!!

[Mr. E]

1 question: So who exactly is going to be playing instead of David Bentley on the right wing? Are we seriously going to go back to Emerton again?

Gamst on the left, Pederson on the right.

No your guess is as good as anyones, Saturday 2.30 o clocker

[grizfoot]

Nothing quite like the excitement of a new season. The fact that none of us know who the hell is going to be playing just adds to that.

I'm reckoning 1-1, Pedersen with the goal for us.

[Hughesy]

Either 1-0 or 2-1 to us. Cant wait! Should hopefully be sinking my 1st pint at 11.

PAUL INCE'S BLUE N WHITE ARMY

PAUL INCE'S BLUE N WHITE ARMY

Get in there son, that's what I want to hear, positive vibes, 14 hours till the season starts! I can't wait, unfortunately some of us have to work so that pint will have to wait a while!

[RevidgeBlue]

Good time to be playing them imo, two nervous sets of fans, both sides seemingly having flogged a star player and seemingly not having replaced them - but they're at home and most of the pressure will be on them.

0-2 to us.

P.S. Not been to Goodison for quite a few seasons. Can you get a beer inside the ground ok?

[Presty On Tour]

Very excited now with kick off only hours away!

I really don't know what side or formation Ince will play which imo is a good thing as Dave will have no idea either, though he is probably more concerned about fielding his own side with all of Everton's injuries.

I just hope we don't play Matty Derbyshire on the right wing, everyone knows he is a striker. If Emerton doesn't make it, I'd be more than happy to see Judge given a shot.

Nobody wants to lose on opening day so i think it will be a tight affair.

Thanks for the kind responses to my preview too, no problem at all.

[Oklahoma]

I'm going to see the game on cable.

Go, ROvers!!!!!

[Rover Down Under]

Everton 2 (Robinson, Lescott) Rovers 2 (Santa, Robinson with a 110 yard screamer)

Are we playing in red and black halves then?

[Paul]

Ince to prove his detractors wrong as rovers win 3 - 1. Santa emerton and gamst.

[TrentVilla]

You boys have had your issues this summer but so have Everton, if you can keep it tight for the first half I think you will win this one. I hope you do and will be supporting you as my adopted team for the day,damn Sunday matches.

Thanks TV,

Feelings reciprocated for when you smash Citeh tomorrow with Barry having a stormer.

We'd happily swap you your Sunday matches for a shot at the UEFA Cup again....

[AussieinUk]

Cleutus, Big thank you!! Talksport is available to everyone in Oz..

I so hope I am wrong on this result prediction! C'MON ROVERS!!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Less than two hours to go and I'm starting to feel nervous. I guess its all down to the fact we don't know what to expect with the new manager, player changes etc.

Looking at the players Everton have unavailable, it could be the one of the best times to play them.

I still have the feeling it might be settled by the one goal, but I'd be really happy with a draw.
