‘Ridiculous’ – Chris Sutton explodes at Everton fan over Nottm Forest claim

Chris Sutton had a heated clash with an Everton fan who suggested the Blues are a better team than high-flying Nottingham Forest.

Despite this, one supporter called the 606 Football Phone In (2 November) and suggested that Everton should be “sixth or seventh” in the Premier League.

Sutton took issue with this as he said: “Let’s just look at the league table. Liverpool, Manchester City, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Brighton. Are you better than any of those teams? No, I’ll answer that for you.

Following a dismal start to the season, it seemed as though the Toffees had finally settled in and were headed for a successful conclusion.

In addition to securing a late point against Fulham last time out, this has seen victories against teams like Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town.

Despite having many opportunities on the day, Everton lost 1-0 against the Saints, bringing them back to earth.

“Just a yes or no, are you better than Liverpool?”

The fan was quick to reply: “No.”

This continued as Sutton asked: “Manchester City?”

“No.”

“Nottingham Forest?”

“Yes.”

This response didn’t go down well as the Premier League winner replied: “Ridiculous.”
