No.

Big difference is Everton aren't brown-enveloping the Premier League.

Still above us and only a win from safety. Can't see it making much difference in the season.

I'd be more than happy to accept that to get rid of VAR.

It's not like it would have sorted it anyway. A minute after that interminable delay at Bournemouth we had a clear penalty not given, no-one knows why.

I can watch Keano all fucking day. He's a treasure. Wrighty brilliant too. Great show, they're all good!

Same.

I want this for the Christmas party:

It's funny, I watch the Lineker/Micah/Shearer show as well but it isn't even in the same universe as that ^ one. So square!

Anything after the ? is tracking and you can delete it.

Abolute LOL at that. Well done premier league tough guys, well done.

Thanks!

Reading the report, we're overspent by £19.5m (a figure we contest), whereas if you literally enter administration, it's a 9 point deduction. Genius.

Report if anyone's arsed: https://resources.premierleague.com/premierleague/document/2023/11/17/49989e4e-01a2-44f9-a012-c3a31ae5536b/2023-11-17-Premier-League-v-Everton-FC-Decision-for-Publication.pdf

Ian Wright now is not how he was when he was playing. Absolute arse to the little people and doing stuff like skinning up in Leisure Lounge and basically daring people to do anything about.

I don’t blame any of the wildly inappropriate and overpaid players we bought during the mad first years after Moshiri bought the club. Whoever was in charge of recruitment and finance needs booting into the Mersey, though.

Yeah I get the feeling he’s changed. Pretty sure 90s / 2000s people were awful. I know I was.

Have they moved to chelsea?

Peter Crouch on Benoît Assou-Ekotto:

"He would tell us straight out that he had no interest in football whatsoever. He genuinely didn't like it. At 1.30pm on a Saturday he'd have no idea which team you were playing.

'But Benoît, we've been talking about them in training all week...'

And so to his pre-match meal. Now none of us are adventurous. It's pasta, chicken, no sauce, and has been for the past 20 years. Benoît would turn up with a Tesco's bag containing the same four items every time: a croissant, a hot chocolate, a full-fat Coke and a packet of crisps.

The croissant I understood. He is French-Cameroonian. The hot chocolate: same cultural backstory. He used to dip the first into the second. But the crisps, and the Coke — it was like two discrete lunches, one belonging to a middle-aged Parisian and the other a 12-year-old on the Seven Sisters Road.

And it worked. He was always in great shape and rarely injured. We accepted it, along with all the other weirdness: the random cars he would turn up to training in, sometimes a Smart car, then a Lamborghini; the way he would refuse to take ice baths for recovery, on the rather basic premise that they were 'too cold'.

Benoît was a really weird guy but we loved him a lot.”

I love everything I hear about him. He used to get his hair cut on the High Road near the stadium and would often get the tube to get around town.

The missus is out so I thought I'd watch England while doing the ironing. Fuck me it's awful. The ironing part is more exciting.

Some England fans singing about same thing. Utter cunts.

Nothing makes the heart sink quite like the phrase "international break".

I saw a tweet the other day about which goal people had celebrated the hardest and I couldn't believe how many people were responding with England goals they probably hadn't even seen live.

Imagine your main interaction with football being liking England, and your idea of football songs being ones about racism or the king.

Norn Iron match was great tho.

Nothing makes the heart sink quite like the phrase "international break".

As an Evertonian, they've been quite a pleasant break for the past couple of years. Nice to have the looming sense of dread ease for a week or two. This was the first one I've been annoyed about in as long as I can remember and then the PL go and gub ten points off us, the absolute beauts.

This is great:

liverpool have had 13 of the 28 early starts since klopps arrival, nearly 50%

I reckon VAR could save loads of money, and become more consistent, by having people tossing a coin to make a decision rather than bothering with all of this video replay rubbish.
