  10. Sunday Jul 11: The diary has been a break during the Euros but we’re back on track now and there’s a couple of things worth recapping. Firstly, Argentina beat Brazil 1-0 last to win the Copa America. Messi finally won something with his country. I’m glad, not specifically for him but because this was their first tournament since Diego passed away so I’m glad they won it. The real story here though wasn’t Argentina. It was Brazil, and specifically their buffoon coach who picked Ederson over Alisson, Fred over Fabinho and that Richarlison cunt over Firmino. I don’t know what the reaction to this will be in Brazil but if an England manager made three decisions as completely fucking outrageous as that he’d be run out of the country, and rightly so. Brazil have always been a really weird footy nation though. They have some of the best players in the world but have nearly always insisted in also picking some of the worst too, almost like they’re trying to give the opposition a chance. The other main thing that’s happened during the hiatus is of course Rafa becoming Everton manager. My thoughts on this are that I couldn’t give a fuck but that I know it’s going to be hilarious and won’t end well for him or them. As far as I’m concerned Rafa has the right to go wherever he wants and it doesn’t upset me at all that he’s gone there. But then I don’t care about him one way or another. I don’t wish him well and I don’t wish him any ill either. I can imagine that those who still love the guy are feeling a bit conflicted now as it’s weird as fuck seeing him in their training gear taking sessions with Big Dunk. He’s got no chance there though because there’s such a high proportion of their fans that hate him, and justifiably so. I don’t blame them at all. They’ve hated him for years and now they’re expected to just put that to one side because that lunatic Moshiri went against their wishes and hired him. Fuck that, I completely see their point. Kenwright didn’t want him either, nor did Brands. We know how this movie ends because we’ve seen it time and again. He’ll have his crew briefing the press against Brands before the month is out. He’s done it at every club he’s been at but this situation is way more volatile than he’s had before because he doesn’t have the fans onside this time. Maybe he’ll win them over with some good results, but it won’t last. As soon as they have any kind of bad run it’s going to kick off and I’m well and truly here for those fireworks. So what else? We haven’t signed anyone else despite lots of rumours, especially about midfielders. Italy won the Euros but that’s been covered in the round up so no need to delve further into it here. Monday Jul 12: Fabrizio Romano says we’re probably going to sign Renato Sanchez. So in other words, we’re not signing Renato Sanchez. Just waiting for confirmation on that, which will come when the second Italian chuckle brother, Tancredi Palmeri, also says it’s happening. That’s when we can finally close the door on that one. Harry Wilson is a target for Brentford. That might be the best move he could make. His stock has fallen a lot since that loan he had with Bournemouth when half the teams in the Premier League and everyone in the Championship would have crawled over broken glass just to kiss his left foot. Brentford play decent stuff and they might be the best he can do now. I really want him to go and do well somewhere as he was a victim of circumstances here. I’m not suggesting he’d have made it, I just mean he’s barely played any games and that pains me as we’re the team he supports and any appearance would mean the world to him. He was always out on loan or injured whenever the door might have been open for him. The fallout from England’s loss to Italy continues as Mourinho is the latest one to take a shot at Southgate and also at senior players who didn’t take a pen. "I think it doesn't matter if you are a great penalty taker or not in this situation. Where was Sterling? Where was Stones? And where was Luke Shaw?" he asked. "Why didn't Henderson or Walker stay on the pitch? Because in reality it's very, very hard for Rashford and Sancho to come on and take a penalty after one touch on the ball. But for Saka to have the destiny of a country on his shoulders I think is too much." I agree with him but when you have Grealish coming out to say he desperately wanted a pen but Southgate wouldn’t let him take one, it’s probably not wise to point the finger at Sterling, Stones or whoever. There’s a video doing the rounds where it looks like Grealish was behind Pickford in the pecking order. Usually you’d be offended by that but Pickford probably should have been one of the first five as I’d back him to score ahead of almost everyone else. This is on Southgate, and to be fair he’s said as much himself. He’s trying to take all of the responsibility for it and fair play for that, but it is all on him so it’s the least he can do. Some managers, Mourinho most definitely included, would never dream of taking the blame himself though so Southgate gets credit for that. I think Didi Hamann said it best when it comes to Southgate. Some fan had a go at him for being ‘hostile’ towards England he replied “Nothing to do with being hostile. You threw two tournaments away by being negative yet your manager gets knighted. No wonder you don’t win anything”. He’s right, but I can’t say I want that to change. Especially when you see the fucking state of the fans behaviour last night and then the shithouses attacking the lads who missed the pens. Tuesday Jul 13: Klopp has contact lenses and I’ll be honest, I fucking hate this development. I don’t care if he needs glasses or not, he needs to be wearing them as it just isn’t right. Klopp without glasses is like… I don’t have a comparison but give me time and I’ll come up with one. I’m too stressed out here at the thought of Jurgen never wearing his glasses again. What next? Ditching the baseball cap? I don’t like this development at all. It’s giving me serious Rafa getting fat and growing a goatee vibes. This isn’t good. Not at all. On the transfer front, Ozan Kabak is available for around £8m so naturally there are people saying we should snap him up. What for? He’d be sixth in line at best and it would be another overseas player to the quota. It makes no sense whatsoever, even if that is a bargain fee. Someone will get themselves a good deal there but it shouldn’t be us. Wednesday Jul 14: Rumour today that we want one of the Italian forwards. Berardi from Sassuolo. Not really any surprise to see us linked with him as the Italians played a great high pressing game and he did catch the eye. Sassuolo want Grujic so expect lots of lazy “possible swap deal” articles even though swap deals are rarer than Everton trophies. There’s lots of talk that Barca and Atletico are doing a swap though, with Griezemann and Saul Niguez. Some reports in Spain said we were really close to signing Saul but then Barca came in and complicated things because Atletico want Griezemann back. Why the fuck would Saul go along with that though? Barca are in a fucking right state and have just given Messi a five year deal which means they’ll still be paying him a shitload even when he’s pushing 40. They’re a basket case of a club and if we genuinely are in for Saul he’d be off his fucking head to let that chance go to join Barca. I’m really not arsed if we get him or not. In fact, looking at our squad I’d be reluctant to be signing any more overseas players until we add one or two to the homegrown quota because we’re really sailing close to the wind on that now. Thursday Jul 15: Elliott has signed a new deal and reports say he won’t be loaned out again. I wouldn’t put too much stock in those reports as we always get this kind of thing and either the club are lying or the situations are usually fluid. If we sign another forward and Shaq doesn’t leave, Elliott will be out on loan I’m sure. Ideally I’d like him to stay and get games, but if he’s not getting games there’s no way they won’t have him playing somewhere. He’s clearly a huge talent and seems like a top lad. I have no doubt he’ll make an impression here and there’s a chance he might become a genuine superstar. What’s his position going to be though? If we play the same style and system we are now I don’t know where he fits into that. He’s not exceptionally quick and he’s not going to be scoring 30 goals a season so Mo’s position doesn’t seem right. Maybe he could develop into a false nine, or maybe we switch to 4-2-3-1 and he plays as a ten. The interesting thing is if he’s such a generational talent maybe we eventually change the formation to get the best out of him. Meanwhile, I read a brutal, sickening and tragic story today about some sick fuck in Kenya who killed ten kids and drank their blood because he is convinced he’s a vampire. It’s just horrific and there’s absolutely no way anything about that story could be funny, right? Wrong. Maybe this makes me a bad person as it is such a fucking horrible thing, but I think it’s impossible not to look at this and guffaw at least a bit at the unexpected plot twist…. It was posted in the group chat and the best two responses were “he thinks he’s a vampire but I bet that isn’t even his most extreme belief” and also “I’m not sure we’ll see Everton win a trophy in my lifetime…. and I’m immortal” Not gonna say who it was as I don’t want to give him credit. He’s lucky I didn’t just steal them as my own. Friday Jul 16: So Arsenal are bidding £50m for Ben White. Makes complete sense because whenever I’ve watched Brighton I’ve been much more impressed with the defending of Dunk and Webster than I have with White, but White is obviously the more accomplished on the ball. £50m for him is mental but then so are Arsenal. The lads have been in training all week and I have to confess I haven’t watched any of the content on LFCTV or the club social media. I dunno, I just don’t think I’m ready for footy to come back yet. The other thing is I’m really starting to hate the off season because of the summer transfer window. We often do a deal or two right at the start and then generally don’t do much until very late, which means we have a spell in the middle where everyone completely loses their minds, fuelled by the likes of the Echo (who reproduce every transfer link regardless of where it comes from) and the Athletic (who then shit all over those links and make fans think we aren’t going to do anything). The summer is a pretty miserable time if you let transfers dominate your thoughts, especially when you know both man clubs and Chelsea re probably going to throw the kitchen sink at players now that FFP is being put on hold. We’ve spent £40m on a new signing already but he’s a defender so it doesn’t count. By that I mean there’s nothing exciting or sexy about it. He filled a need and he may end up being class, but if we’d signed a boss midfielder or forward than I wouldn’t give a shit about what we did next and would be completely relaxed about it. We haven’t signed a boss midfielder or forward though and until we do there’s going to be a lot of pissing and moaning from fans. My suspicion is we have players lined up but aren’t going to do shit until we sell some. If Divock is still here when the window shuts that’s going to be pretty fucking depressing, I know that much. I hate saying that too after all he's done, but his presence depresses me now. Just move on man, you should be playing somewhere instead of just bumming around here wasting your career. .... and that was the week that was

  13. FAre you serious? A woman has a right to do a job without it being your access to her for your benefit. If she did intentionally fob you off, it means she clearly understood what you were trying to do, while she was working. That’s pretty much a dictionary definition of harassment in the workplace. if you knew she existed, knew you fancied her, and knew already she was a personal trainer, then you had another way to speak to her without forcing yourself into her presence in the workplace to do it. And you have the nerve to call her a snake?

  16. Hopefully, a packed Anfield will let FSG know exactly what they need to do regarding Hendo, and exactly how they are thought of after the way they let Gini go, especially as there doesn't seem to be any movement on a replacement which is negligence in my eyes, not forgetting the whole super league debacle. They don't give a fuck about anything but money and need reminding just what the club is and what it means. The other pair of gobshite owners who saw the club as nothing more than a profit making exercise came unstuck because of fan power, these will be harder to remove, but things could get quite uncomfortable for them. Lose the goodwill of the fans, our fans in particular at your peril.

  18. Genesis Owusu - Smiling With No Teeth Never heard of the dude so didn't know what to expect. I do like to hear new things.... On the Move! : getting Prodigy "Invaders must die" era vibes off this start - electronica/punk/hip-hop. I like the synth. Good start but actually too short. I'd have liked to hear this expanded a bit more. The Other Black Dog: Synth and drum machine driven high-tempo rant - the rapping is very good. Nod to depression and/or racism: "All my friends are hurting, but we dance it off, laugh it off". Not sure of what to make of the break down at the end. Total change of direction but maybe throws little a little hint at what's to follow. Centrefold: Big change of direction. A relatively straight forward R&B track with a nice bassline and some 70s effects. This is a confident artist not afraid to mix it up a bit. Waitin' on Ya: 90s AND 70s R&B vibes from this which is impressive. Nice vocals and a great "cold drink in the sunshine" vibe from it. A definite grower, even if it goes all "Flight of The Conchords" cheese at one stage. Don't Need You: Nod to Outkast. Either he sings about depression and the mantra "I don't need you" seemingly to push those demons away, or it's someone wrecking his buzz "When you stop joggin' (Joggin') On my dome, goddamn". Good synth work and very much an earworm. Raises the bar from the previous tracks. Drown: Taking it's inspiration straight from the 80s "best of synth pop" catalogues. Bouncy and bright it's actually a very good tune after a few listens and the best so far for me. Gold Chains: A smooth, soul-inspired meandering about the toll on mental health for being constantly in demand, or 'on-call' for the Capitalist/Corporate system. Great track to have a dig at those who treat people as commodities. The price that must be paid for fame.. Smiling with No Teeth: Otis Redding to my ears. Catchy refrain. A very simple track but very good, and I really like the vocals on this one. I Don't See Colour: A track about how atrociously black people are treated, brilliantly delivered. African tribal-precussion vibes all over this. Minimal production underlining the importance of the lyrics to the entire track's message. I presume the vocal loop is just a continous "sigh". Black Dogs: Back to the electro-punk with more of "The Prodigy" slipping through it. Banger. Liam Howlett would have a field day remixing this. Whip Cracker: Another banging tune about racism, directly calling out those guilty of it. Like the energy in the 2nd half of this tune after the monotony of the kick-drum intro. If I had a comparison it would be "The Young Fathers". Lyrically excellent. Easy: 80's synth-pop recreation with tons of reverb. Seems like anything but "Easy", more like a desperate plea to be easy. Weakest track yet but a clearly link up track between the angry tracks preceding and the more philosophical ones to follow. A Song About Fishing: lovely pop song about 'awakening' and forcing a more positive attitude in the face of despair. I can see this appearing on the soundtracks of films for many years to come. Good tune and a lovely female vocal at the end. No Looking Back: Easy to see why it follows "A Song About Fishing". “I can't drown in my blеssings / or float on my pride / no more waiting for this freedom, it's already been minе.” This is again dripping with more positive vibes - you can't change what has gone before. Bye Bye: a round up and summary that the "block dogs" are here to stay and it's all about how you deal with them. Another 90's R&B feel to it and a good closer to bind it all together. So... Overall a very ambitious record. The themes are brilliant and every track binds them together. Some very decent production at times but it feels all over the place as a coherent piece musically (not lyrically or thematically), at least to my ears. My problem is this: I can't find myself picking this album out if I'm in the mood for a certain style because it's wrapped around so many styles. It would be perfectly fine for a train journey for example, but you couldn't play the entire album at a party - you'd be skipping tracks too often. You'd likely need to add some of individual tracks to different playlists to match a vibe you're looking for. (Such a sad complaint really). Probably close to 10 minutes too long but I guess with so many ideas swirling around your head you'd want to get them all out there. Still, it's an impressive collection of tunes and I could not rate it badly. Stand outs: Drown Gold Chains I Don't See Colour A Song About Fishing 7.8/10

  23. Covid has entered our household. My missus (double jabbed) and my daughter (8) both tested positive on our way home from a week in the lakes, after one of our friends and her daughter (7) we were sharing with had tested positive Friday. so far I was negative on PCR and again on lateral flow last night. missus has a slight cough and grogginess, daughter nothing much. booked a week away thinking it was already summer hols when we booked it, and my girl was upset she’d have to miss school, but we had a belting week and she loved every second. She was bloody distraught though when I told her she couldn’t go to school for the last wee of term though. incidentally, I was on the phone to track and trace Sunday morning when the news first broke about Johnson and Sunak joining this “trial”. A nice bit of added extra to how fucking insulting their behaviour is.
