Modern football. Don’t ya just lurve it!

Matt Law ( don’t ask me if he’s reliable) from earlier, saying we have outbid Chelsea for Caicedo. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwipkOz95dKAAxXKUEEAHawDA24QglR6BAgNEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FMatt_Law_DT%2Fstatus%2F1689580913858863104%3Fref_src%3Dtwsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet&usg=AOvVaw13IafwtKuOUmgKgzR4ELCq&opi=89978449

Dragged shopping yesterday, was a nice day though to be fair, bit of sunshine, four or five grown men wearing Everton shirts, the usual scenario with a week or so to go to the start of a new season. Shirts will be back in the bottom drawer by the end of September no doubt.

City will buy it off and pay for Everton too, just to piss everyone else off.

This exactly.

And every other manager in the Premier League I suspect.

Fabinho was fucking ace. Sadly it’s the was bit that is relevant now. Lovely leaving words. Best of luck Fab, and thanks.

Just pick Mbappe, Mo and Alisson and any 8 others. Sorted.

Not going to happen. Fucking hilarious if it did. Imagine the fume, and not just from the Ev. Every fucker gazumped just before the season kicks off.

I’m not advocating players going to the Saudi league, but maybe we should remember that in the cases of Henderson and Fabinho, they’ve pretty much won all there is to win in England with the Premier League, the two domestic cups and Champions League, plus the extra trinkets of the World Club Cup, Charity Shield and European Super Cup.

Looks like it doesn’t it? Went to the fourth day at OT and he didn’t look like he was worrying the Aussie batsmen too much, but then neither did the others for the three and a bit hours they were out there to be fair. Been a fantastic career he’s had, but I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t call it quits when this test is over.

Unfortunately for him, he and everyone else around that time were measured against our, then, brilliance. He still managed, with Clough as Manager of course, to win Big Ears twice, and it was his goal that won them one of those, but he was injured for the second win the next year. Had the unenviable tag of the first million pound player around his neck, but I always thought he was a better than average striker. Clough was no mug. Sad and very sobering to see those you grew up watching passing on. RIP Trevor.

Splunk! Isn’t that the sound they’d make when they hit the Championship?

What would Everton do?

Happened to my wife and daughter. Registered in 2001, when they were put in a ledger in the offices that were behind the Anny Rd stand, both paid the £5 thing and then when we enquired about the ST waiting list in 2013 were told they weren’t on the list. Luckily I’d kept emails and shit from them over the years to prove them wrong, but they still made us accept positions around 7000 on the list, which was much higher than we thought. Emailed them 3 weeks ago because my wife and daughter have changed emails but they couldn’t remember their passwords asking for their positions, and could they amend their email addresses and send them a link so they could reset the passwords. Not rocket science is it? Got a reply for my wife saying due to data protection she had to apply for info herself. Got a reply for my daughter saying she was 3200+ on the list and her membership number was not the same as what she originally had??? Unbelievable.

E between Robbo or Virgil. Robbo looks like he’s loved by everyone from that video of the training session yesterday, plus he’s captain of Scotland, I’d like to think he knows when the joking stops and serious shit starts. And he’s more likely to dish out retribution if any oppo’s are taking the piss, but maybe that’s not such a good things these days! Captain for me. Virgil oozes class and style, but he doesn’t seem the type to bawl out someone who’s slacking, so maybe vice Captain?

Souness has his faults but as a captain? Imperious.

Let’s have it then.

Sorry, I have no idea who he is. Thought she was Sally Nugent at first glance. I need Specsavers obviously.

There was once a habit for Evertonians to call their players in a matey fashion, I remember Sheeds, Sharpy, Inchy, Ratters etc. Now it’s “Useless Twat”, “Gobshite” or similar.

Genius will do if he turns out to be that good.

I find it ridiculous that the Premier League could even be considering not taking away titles and any other awards that City might have purchased if/when they are found guilty of financial skullduggery. Who would they be trying to kid that the “brand” might be damaged by taking such action? The “brand” is, and has been, damaged since UEFA failed to nail City after the CAS ruling, when everyone with half a brain knew they were as guilty as sin, but got away on a technicality and at UEFA’s incompetence at enforcing their own rules properly. To not take City’s ill gotten gains off them, should they be found culpable of course, would be much more damaging. Fining them would be even more of a joke.

Got to this too late, I would have added Karl Heinz Schnellinger, brilliant across the back line but exceptional at left full back.

MOM on the BEEB

Happy Birthday boss!
