*Shakes head* Everton again.

[Harry Squatter]

Next few games:

 

Watford H

Palace A

Atalanta H

Southampton A

West Ham H

Huddersfield H

Limassol A

Liverpool A

 

Hopefully they lose a few before they play us and we can twat them 4-0 at home.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Even a man of God such as yourself should have no compassion for those small time cunts. Have a look at the LFC thread on GOT in which they mention 39 Italians on almost every page for an insight into their mentality.

 

I would love it, love it, if they went down this season.

 

Don't do it to yourself.  They wont go down. 

[Creator Supreme]

Don't do it to yourself. They wont go down.

They are the unflushable turd unfortunately!

[Sputnik1]

The average number of points to avoid relegation from the premier league is 37. They will not be relegated. There's too much other shit in the league blocking the drain. 

[Bjornebye]

They will go on a run now with the Derby on the horizon. Get all confident then we will spacey them rar up the brewster 

[dylstar]

Isn't their lowest post-war attendance 3,703 against Milwall in the ZDS Cup? Can they beat it?

Thought it was Leon Osmans testimonial .

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

They will go on a run now with the Derby on the horizon. Get all confident then we will spacey them rar up the brewster

 

They could win all those games, they'd still be shitting it for the Derby. Their best chance of doing anything is hoping/trying to get a good manager obviously. Their best chance of a Derby win would be Allardyce or Dyche.

Because they’re now really shit, can’t score a goal, awful defensively and maybe in a relegation battle, that means they’ll win the Derby. Some of the bitters would take relegation if it meant winning a Derby! That is all some of them are interested in.

[Baltar]

The bitters were raving about Unsworth before he got the job, in fact a lot of them wanted Koeman out and Unsworth in. They got what they wanted so hopefully fatboy will now get the job permanently.

I can imagine a fair few of the 'rhino in' brigade are quietly thinking they may have been galactically wrong. 

[Creator Supreme]

They're due a derby win, sure to be now because we're shite too!

[Baresi]

I hope they go out of extinction. I fucking loathe them.

[dave u]

They've been in relegation battles before and always got out of them because they were a team full of scrappers.

 

They're not anymore. In fact, loads of their players have been in relegation battles before, for other teams, and some of them lost. Niasse and Pickford went down last season.

 

If they're in the bottom three going into the new year I'd defo have a bet on them not getting out of it.

[razor]

Everton always cause me a little bit of turmoil.

 

I do like Bill, I do like the club as an institution, I like lots of their fans (mostly, but not exclusively older fans) and I do like them as part of the city.  I look back at that 80s period fondly.

 

But I also hate loads of their bitterest fans, and I know they didn't try against City the other year.

 

On balance, I can't wait for them to be involved in that relegation scrap.

 

Too big to go down?  Leeds, Forest etc. 

 

It will be great.

[Jairzinho]

They aren't going down. Probably still finish top half.

[SammyAftershave]

One optimistic GOT forumite's shopping list on  the 'January 2018 transfer window thread':

 

'Giminez
VVD
Goretzka
Werner
Gelson Martins'

 

I'm sure they'll be tripping over themselves to get there. Maybe even get ZZ in to manage too.

[Jairzinho]

ZZ Top?

[Anny Road]

That lot will thive with Fat Sams attacking philosophy.

[Trumo]

ZZ Top?

 

Beard Satis Nisi Sharp Dressed Man.

[SammyAftershave]

I'm intrigued as to whether, given the above shopping list to work with, that the Owl's methods might transfer from Croydon to Walton more readily.

[SammyAftershave]

Beard Satis Nisi Sharp Dressed Man.

 

That motto has got Legs.

[Chip Butty]

David Unsworth, the worst caretaker since Ian Huntley.

[Dante]

Couldn't fucking make it up, ha ha

 

 

Everton’s ownership and the alleged involvement of Alisher Usmanov, the Arsenal shareholder, at Goodison Park will be scrutinised in a two-part Panorama special to be broadcast on the BBC tomorrow and Monday.

 

The BBC has obtained documents pertaining to Usmanov’s purchase of a 14.58 per cent stake in Arsenal in 2007 through the Red & White investment vehicle that he jointly owned with Farhad Moshiri, who sold up to his business partner last year to facilitate his purchase of 49.9 per cent of Everton.

Moshiri sold his stake in Arsenal to Usmanov to facilitate his purchase of 49.9 per cent of Everton

 

It is understood that Panorama will claim that the documents show that Moshiri’s initial Arsenal stake was a gift from Usmanov, leading to the suggestion that the billionaire from Uzbekistan was behind the Iranian’s purchase of Everton as he was the original source of the funds.

 

Everton and a spokesman for Usmanov deny that he has any involvement at Goodison, which would be a breach of Premier League rules that state any shareholder with a 10 per cent stake in one club cannot buy into another.

 

There have been unsubstantiated rumours for some time that Usmanov would ultimately join Moshiri at Everton as he has no influence at Arsenal and the pair have a number of joint investments, whispers which increased after Usmanov’s company, USM Holdings, announced a sponsorship deal for the club’s training ground in January.

 

The Premier League conducted a rigorous due diligence process before signing off Moshiri’s Everton purchase and is confident that he used his own money.

 

[Lee909]

Premier league - rigours due diligence do not beling in the same sentence

 

 

They will be creaming their pants that this means Usmanov ends up out of Arsenal has has to invest in them

[Harry Squatter]

I think both of them should be deducted 20 points.
