Everton the first team in English football to score 7000 top flight goals.

Everton are the first club to score 7,000 English top-flight goals. George Fleming scored their first in a 2-1 home win against Accrington at Anfield on 8 September 1888. Yes, Anfield... the Toffees played there before Liverpool made it their home in 1892.

Liverpool have only conceded seven goals at this stage of the season. Crazy when you compare that to Chelsea in 04/05 who conceded 8 after 19 games, and Arsenal in 98/99 with 11.

Remember very well George Fleming telling young Everton fans if they did not drink enough milk they will only be good enough for Accrington.

Liverpool winning the PL and City the CL.


The stuff of absolute nightmares.
Really seems like it's their year for real. If City go 6-7 points behind Liverpool, I'm not sure they can make up the gap.

Guardiola is actually underperforming with that squad. Considering the investment they have made under him, you expect a close title chase even if they won the thing last season. Haven't been watching their games, so not sure if it's a motivation problem or something.

FFS City. Imploding under the first pressure they saw in 1.5 years ? If they don't win today, oh well..

I hope Leicester keeps the score against City. But is it too much to hope for Newcastle to score one against Liverpool?

Liverpool rattling off another very comfortable three points.

That’s so soft, Salah threw himself over as soon as he felt a touch.

Where was city’s implosion last season when we were second? :rolleyes:
No implosion yet, we need Leicester to keep the score as is or even score one more to win, then we can talk about some kind of implosion. 45mn is a long way to go.
I am starting to think missing Fernandinho is a far bigger issue for City than missing KdB or Aguero or any of those offensive players. Hopefully I am right.

Benitez is doing a shit job and people's blind hatred of Ashley is keeping him from criticism

The bolded explains 90% of Caf posts about City.

And injuries are catching up with them. Struggling with Fernandinho's injury and the full backs not in form. Plus Silva's absence.

Liverpool getting a penalty they didn't deserve? there's a first...

City better win today. Can't have the scousers winning the league.
One step at a time. Let City not win or lose today, then maybe in 3 days Liverpool also loses, it's fine.

About 8 teams deserve to get relegated this season.:lol:

Seriously how many of bottom 6 is even going to get to 30 points?! That is poor even with the financial gulf (and bottom half prem teams getting way more now than they used to).
