The Mail Bag

Television displays

I've noticed, we're nearly always shit when we're on the telly (Europe aside). I'm sure this whole 75% win ratio when Cahill is in the team also applies to when we're not on the TV. Does anyone have any stats on how we fare in 3 o'clock games compared with televised games?

Now that March is over (when every game has been televised) perhaps we can get back to winning ways. I always think the atmosphere is a lot better in Goodison when we play at 3pm and I'm sure this makes a difference to the team's performances.

Not sure about the UK, but our record in league games televised in Australia is won 17 drawn 6 and lost 9, but then we get to see every game live :-)

ALL the games for April are going to be televised too so I hope you’re wrong Alan.

I have always thought the same Alan.

When I lived in the UK I used to get so depressed watching Everton on sky because I thought that we would always lose, invariably we did.

Now I live in Holland, I get to see every single match live on tv and whenever I MISS a game, we seem to lose! work that one out :-)

Now whenever a game is on sunday (and usually on sky too) we lose.

Nerves? big time charlies? can’t handle the pressure? I don’t know but people like Neville, Hibbert and Peanuts always seem to look really nervous when playing on sky

Well, the game this coming Sunday against Derby is being shown (later on Sunday afternoon) here in the States so hopefully that’s not a game we lose or tie!!!
A good resounding victory with several goals would be nice.........assuming our team isn’t keeping half of Liverpool’s medical and hospital staff busy!!!!

The cameras are at every game so the highlights can be shown on MOTD or Sky. We are just making excuses here.

Nah just Marbellas medical team.

’’Now I live in Holland, I get to see every single match live on tv and whenever I MISS a game, we seem to lose! work that one out :-)’’

Simple, we’ll come over and tie you down next to your TV and turn on the sports channel, problem solved :)

Have we had any 3pm Satuday kick offs??

I think there has been 3 at Goodison all year (that’s include the Oldham Farce). Noe the Chelsea game has been switched.

I just wish Sky would Fuck Off, Saturday’s is for football.
