Travel at every opportunity Pretty much off the hamster wheel. Mainly here to moan about Everton but always up for laughing at MAGA and Reform knobheads. (Seriously, travel at every opportunity. Your employer likely doesn't give a shit about you)

Andrew Windsor has rediscovered his ability to sweat today.
He genuinely thought he was untouchable.
Hopefully he crumbles and blows the whole thing up.

Yep, converting from a straight, unseeded knockout draw to a tiresome league format There's too much football, but there's an easy fix

I know he's said some crazy stuff, but Wenger came out with (paraphrasing) "You pay for young players with points."
He's spot on, you MUST play them and let them grow into it with regular minutes.

That's exactly it.
If he didn't insist on playing a centre back at right back when he has an actual, fit, right back available wed look far better.
Couple that with insisting a woefully out of sorts Gana plays every game and bad things will always happen.

Patterson is the answer for now.
The manager has to stop shoehorning players in out of position. Fair enough if there's no option, but there is.

Yes, but that pull back was BLATANT and he (Pawson) basically shat his pants.
Their should be consequences for such obvious failure, but the PGMO are excellent at circling the wagons.

The fault lies with Pawson for not blowing up for the obvious pull as soon as it became clear Szobozlai (spelling?) was ahead of him.
It's also true that VAR are correct to intervene, but it's undoubtedly re-refereeing the game.
On pitch officials should get the obvious calls right 99% of the time.

One that doesn't have Gana as an automatic starter.
A right back at right back at right back would be decent, too.

Always been the way.
Defaults to his trusted plodders. IE Gana.

I'll bet they don't all love him.
Utterly baffling today.

To be fair to Beto, go back to his first media for the Official Everton website. He basically said "I'm barely average but I always put in the effort"
True to his word, bless him. A lovely fella.

Barry (2) and Alcaraz.

Make you mind up. "No idea" followed by two suggestions.

What's the cause of the humanitarian disaster? Is it natural, or has it been caused by outside actions?
A terrible tragedy? Undoubtedly.

Language is important.

Mark himself describes what's going on as a "deeply worrying situation" and has refused on multiple occasions to condemn (or even tamely criticise) the actions of the Israeli government.

What would you call it?

What happened in Bondi was awful, the Muslim man who stepped in and disarmed a shooter prevented further bloodshed.
Are you going to denounce the ongoing genocide in Gaza or is calling it genocide also 'antisemetic' in your eyes?

Make the connection.

But Starmers position IS close to untenable.
He undoubtedly inherited a shambles but he's been weak as piss on numerous key issues, both home and abroad

Genuinely don't bother listening to anything I hear him introduced on. 'mark as played' > delete download.

Painful.

@philippeauclair.bsky.social Re: Harrison, Leeds fans feel betrayed because he had a relegation release clause that allowed him to depart (even on loan). Rather than stick around and "fight for the shirt"โ„ข he fancied premier league football (of sorts) at Everton.

Hahaha. Definitely stick with Honky Tonk

A beautiful genius. Some say the biggest genius of all time. I couldn't possible say but maybe!

At what point does the "mother of all shortlists" become a long list?

One of the most incredible lines to come out of the Dyche era was you can't improve strikers. He had a pint with Gary Birtles who confirmed it for him.
