I don’t think Everton have had an attractive team in my lifetime.

The keeper came across him and clattered his leg, it’s looked a clear foul every time I’ve seen it.

Scruffy. Deserved the win, but mainly because Brentford were poor for most of the match.

Now that’s a bad pen IMO.

Keeper rushed out and clattered him in the box, I don't see how it's not a pen.

Clear penalty. Ref didn't want to give it though.

What the actual fuck

Nothing wrong with that at all.

Quality goal.

We really needed a creative wide player that can deliver a ball this summer, we've got no one.

If we end up drawing or losing this then Maguire is toast.

That’s ridiculously quick from Foden.

I see both teams accepting 0-0 around 55 minutes in.

It would be fantastic if we could really do a number on the Scotch tonight and push their faces in the mud. I’m expecting a grim game though.

I’m assuming the Everton sale will be massively leveraged, I just don’t see how it’s a good investment otherwise, especially at the prices that have been talked about for them.

Probably depends on the individual circumstances. Generally I would say they should play until proven guilty, but then the authorities have a poor record of punishing wealthy deviants, and you also have situations like Adam Johnson where Sunderland were knowingly playing a paedophile.

PIF are basically weaving themselves into the ordinary business of these clubs until the relationship gets to the point where they all feel comfortable joining a Saudi led super league. Whether we’ll be taken along for the ride remains to be seen, I have some doubts. Saudi ambitions will be far bigger than just having a good domestic league, and far far bigger than having one good premier league side. When super league time comes and they’re picking clubs get into it, the core member clubs will probably vote us out.

I wouldn’t worry about who Southgate picks or doesn’t pick at this point, surely we’re all just waiting for him to leave, whether that’s in 1 year or 3 years. We all know he’s not going to win anything. It just feels like England are treading water and the FA are happy to be scandal free.

I thought he was last summer, I didn’t hear anything about him this summer.

Who did they want over Mount? It seemed like they went all out for him pretty early on.

I think they just said he won’t be playing for them this season. It seems to me that they want to keep him and are waiting for all this to blow over. If he gets on with his career with no rape or kidnap incidents, they’ll hope he will be more acceptable.

£4m for Rob Holding is pricey.

I want scalps.

Excellent.
