That was the Week that Was (Feb 17-21 2025)

    roundupheader.jpg

     

Monday Feb 17:

 

The first goal scored at Everton’s new stadium was by a Harrison Rimmer, a Wigan u18 player, who celebrated with a massive knee slide in front of the Everton fans and then twice flashed them the “six times” celebration. Isn’t that just the most Everton thing ever? Actually no, the most Everton thing ever was a few minutes later when Rimmer picked up the ball and you could hear on the audio a fan shouting “break his fucking legs!!” After the game Rimmer posted photos of his goal and his celebration with just one word - “rattled”. 

 

This has tickled me far more than it probably should have. He must have pre-planned this and discussed it with family and friends. Maybe they put him up to it? He isn’t a centre forward so probably doesn’t score loads, so for him to get this one is just fucking hilarious. Whatever happens in his career he’ll always remember this just for the comedy value. And in the future he’s definitely going to be the answer to a trivia question. And the only people who will get it right are Evertonians, as his name is now going to be seared into their collection psyche alongside Clive Thomas, Ian Rush, Mark Clattenberg, Kloppo and countless others. He’s made the list.

 

It was an eventful night at Bradley Moore as I saw another video of an Everton fans ordering food and then walking away without paying for it. The video was taken by himself, complete with him doing a running commentary of his crime and then uploading it to his own socials before deleting it when it went viral and he shit himself. That’s one Blue who won’t be watching them next season. I hope they send him the bill for the food too.

 

We’ve been linked with Huijsen from Bournemouth today, who apparently has a buy out clause of under £50m. A clause, you say? Well count us in then, as the Reds love a buy out clause as much as I love chips. This lad is class and would be a great signing, but I’m not sure we’ll be able to talk him into it given that he plays the same position as Virgil. If Virgil stays (and I have no doubt about that) then any left sided centre back is going to be playing in the domestic cups and the odd CL dead rubber game. That’s it. Unless they can also play right sided centre back, which I’m not sure this lad can. If he can, sound, and he does look two footed from what I’ve seen. I’m sure he’d get some games so he may be up for the move. At 19 though, he might be better served staying where he is for another year or two rather than come here and get lost in the shuffle.

 

Another transfer link today is 18 year old PSG midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery. He’s played 100 games for them already, so he must be really fucking good. Which tells me that they won’t sell him and we should probably disregard this unless there’s a clause involved. As we love a clause don’t we.

For whatever reason, Nunez never seemed to get going in his 3 seasons here. I was really hoping he could become as prolific as Torres and Suarez once were. He has a lot of heart.  I hope he gets a good transfer in the summer, even if he goes to Saudi - he will earn a shitload of money that will take care of him and his family.

You don't have to be online for long to see how much we are hated around the country. Even when United were brilliant and disliked, it was never as visceral as this. We seem to turn people into swivel-eyed loons and to an extent we revel in our pantomime villain status, with the socialism, the Scouse not English and booing the anthem sort of things. I think all of this adds up to these sad sacks ringing our fixtures on the calendar and makes these games a bit rabid. It will also add to the enjoyment when we clinch the title this season.

Too bad, we almost got the tie everybody has wanted for years, Liverpool vs Mighty Brest. A couple of lucky goals and terrible refereeing decided otherwise ….

 

I’m kidding obviously but I would not read too much on that result. That was Brest B team, their manager did a Brendan. And the players are exhausted physically and mentally. I agree this PSG team are better now than they were 4 months ago, but they haven’t played a single strong team so far. We’re still the big Favorite. If anyone is  coming over, let me know if you need some help to find the right boozer of if you have to deal with a stupid French cop.

 

It is time to question Slot’s reluctance to trust his squad. It does not make any sense, especially for Harvey and Endo. Sort it out, Dave.

I think the kindest thing we could do for Darwin is to give him a week off to spend with his family in Spain and to clear his head. You never know, he might score the goal that wins us the title!

We're never going to get a manager who will do things exactly as we like.  Shankly and Klopp played players well past their sell by date to the detriment of the team.  Slot appears to want to overplay players, despite the risks of injury and burnout.  At the end of the day, we can moan and whine about individual decisions, it's all about results.

Brest played their B team in a CL knockout against a rival from the same nation?

 

Why the fuck would they do that?

Because they lost 3-0 home, and they still can qualify for Europe next year and they’re in the 1/4 for the Cup. Brest have only been three time in 1/4 and never reached semi/final. And last time they beat Pris was 40 years ago. And the squad is appaling.

Ah ok, I thought you meant they played the B Team in both games. That makes more sense.

Regarding the potential RB vacancy... would you take Kimmich on a free and have him and Bradley compete for the spot? Not sure we can go with an untried 21 year old from Brazil and Bradley as our RB options.

Going off what Kimmich has said, I think he'd only move to a club where he can play midfield.

Ah OK, I didn't see that. Still reckon he'd come here as a right back if we offered him a deal.

I think he would get plenty of midfield minutes and be a great job share with Conor.

I would love to have him here.
