*Shakes head* Everton again.

Wheres the Heritage Status Everton! 

 

Imagine if it was us that cost the city its heritage status, how they'd react.

 

Personally I think the heritage status thing is bullshit, so is corporations like peel holdings stagnating areas of the city. I'm glad they are doing something with the land.

[kemskem]

The faux outrage would be off the scale.

while Ronald Koeman was supposedly paid £7,873,973.

 

 

Googled Koeman after I read this to see what he’s up to now, and stumbled across his scoring record. How the fuck was he scoring at a better ration than 1 in 2

at times as a defender?! Goes well under the radar all that.

 

I know he liked a freekick and took pens, but still - crazy numbers. He could defend a bit too couldn’t he? 
 

51 in 98 league games at PSV! I can’t get my head round it

Keep an eye on their U21’s. Some serious talent coming through. 

But stay away from the under 18s.

Very prolific. There is a section about that in the Wiki article-

 

Quote

Koeman is the top scoring defender in world football,^[12] and Barcelona's top scoring defender, with 90 goals in all competitions.^[75] An accurate free kick and penalty kick taker, Koeman was nicknamed the King of free kicks throughout his playing career, and is Barcelona's second-highest goalscorer from free kicks, after previous club captain Lionel Messi, with 26 goals from set pieces in all competitions;^[76][78] he is also Barcelona's second-highest scorer from penalties in La Liga, behind Messi once again, with 46 goals from spot kicks, and the highest scoring defender in La Liga from penalties.^[75][79] With 67 goals, he is the second most prolific defender in La Liga history, behind Sergio Ramos.^[80] He currently holds the record for 25 consecutive successful penalty conversions in La Liga.^[81]

To be fair he was a boss player.

[Jose Jones]

Koeman would never play centre half in a top team nowadays though. He was far too slow. One for the shitness of modern football really. Fat or slow but immensely skilful players just can’t make it these days at the top level.

It's what's holding me back making a late run as a 40 year old defensive midfielder. It's a disgrace

I walked past a tour guide in town a few months ago and overheard him lying that Liverpool One had cost the city it's UNESCO status.  (Unfortunately, I was rushing back to work, so I couldn't stop to call him a cunt )

No way these are getting flushed this season - just too much absolute shite in the league.

 

Unless of course the PL actually show some balls and deduct pts for their cheating and even then i'm not sure they'll drop.

 

Likes of Sheff Utd, Luton, Burnley an Bournemouth are amongst the worst teams this division has seen in a long time.

Agreed if there's one season where they should take the 12 points then this is it. They'd be at more risk if they took a suspended 6 points and they were applied next season.

I still think Everton fully belong on that list.  I can see Burnley and/or Bournemouth getting a new manager bounce before the season is over; I don't see it with Everton.

 

Don't lose hope yet; we're barely a quarter of the way into the season.

[TD_LFC]

Everton always have the knack of getting a result against a team they shouldn't at the sharp end of the season, it's what separates them from the truly shit teams and saves them every year.

I’ve long thought it was ludicrous that Rooney was being talked about as their future manager, but Birmingham have been alright this season.

An absolute joke of a club off the field, yet they were looking like play-off contenders until recently. Admittedly they have been dross for the last three games, and their fans have booed them off, but I’m sure they’ll pick up again soon.

Hasnt Rooney been there for 3 games?

 

Absolutely ridiculous they did that while sat in 6th. Like when they fucked Rowett off in a similar position to bring Zola in for some reason and they stayed up on the last day.

 

Rooney telling them to be patient is thick as well. Cheeky cunt - they were winning before you went!

He's tailor-made for the Everton job.

I hear you....but we are talking about some serious shite here even compared to the shite...

 

But yeah - fingers crossed.

Yup. They were flying high(-ish) before he arrived. Now? Not so much. 

[Peter Cormack]

Sack Dyche and bring in Rooney, we won‘t need a 12 point deduction to see them flushed if that happens.

[Trumo]

Didn't Forest Green have a similar upturn in form when Big Dunc went there?

They sacked him for a woman who lasted less time than I would with Sally Webster

Today, as Moyes and Dyche waited on the touchline with wreaths to remember Moore and Kenwright, West Ham’s stadium announcer/DJ was playing Battle Without Honour Or Humanity. A piece of music that featured prominently in the teaser trailer for, and House of Blue Leaves sequence in, er, Kill Bill.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Fuck you, West Ham. Fuck you all up the arse with a rusty shovel. To quote a chant beloved of Cockney Ingurlund fans "You let your country down".

 

I still think it will be a lot more arse-twitchy for Everton than a lot of people here seem to think, but a result like that is the kind of thing that's likely to save them.

 

Unless, of course, the Premier League do the right thing and hit them with the 12 points deduction they so clearly deserve; I can see Everton getting the 34/35 points it will take to finish above the dross this season, but they're not getting the mid-table points total they would need to survive that.
