Not watching as I'm on a bus home but this sounds really English and proper as fuck. Roll on the World Cup. Its coming home.

Is Wor Beer off now? @Heron Sat in the Bodega as I type this and its not on anymore. Just the one pub of a sample size, mind.

Deutschland über alles. Part of the Endsieg.

Glad I don't really give a flying fuck about England otherwise I'd be livid that Tomori (and others) are getting no minutes at all in these glorified friendlies.

He's not wrong for having suspicions tbf.

Have been travelling all day and only saw that tweet as I've barely had a phone signal. Soz like

He was on an exercise bike. Cutting edge reporting from the Ronny.

Ffs. Probably won't be back until like the fucking Villa game knowing us.

Never drawn against them away in the league in the last 15 matches. Different story at SJP though.

Given the context of the posts and discussion at the time I thought you were partaking in the chat regards to him failing at Everton. If you weren't then ah well.

No, it wasn't.

Shit.

Seems a bit of a disagreement and a comment about his time at Everton to me. If you're on about the earlier post then in the context of the discussion and posts at the time then that seemed to me to be the same. His reputation is irrelevant to the point. That he did a bad job and got sacked for it. Regardless of his previous jobs and successes.

So you agree with what what I've been saying the whole time? That he failed at Everton regardless of the previous years/jobs in his career but you decided to be a condescending, ageist arsehole in your reply anyway? Sound.

Is there any need to be such a patronising dick? He did a bad job at Everton and got sacked for it. That's the bottom line.

He failed at Everton and was deservedly sacked. He succeeded here in more ones than one. Both can be true. He was brought in too late to save us from the drop but brought us back up as champions even after being fucked over in January '17. Then kept us up after being starved of major backing by condensing games down to being a game of mistakes due to the quality of player we had to use regularly, especially from August 2017-January 2019. It was laborious to watch at times and we suffered some utterly rank defeats and runs of results, especially at home. Although the 3-4-3 post January 2019 whilst still a counter attacking, low possession side played some canny stuff. Instilled a siege mentality amongst the fans against Ashley and did so brilliantly and the atmosphere it created brought Staveley to the table and made her want to pursue the club for 4 years before finally getting it, albeit 2 years after Benitez' departure. I'll always be grateful to him for that and recognise his part in that and all the other stuff. But he didn't get the best out of Everton. Taking over a side that finished 10th on 59 points the previous season and could've finished in Europe on the final day, he went on a run of 1 win in 13 league matches including some honking home defeats in a derby and to Watford as well as going out of the League Cup to QPR. Ostracised and got rid of their most creative player the previous season in Rodriguez pretty much immediately after his appointment, fell out with Digne and sold him as a result and certain people who he got rid of inside of EFC such as scouts, directors and medical people have still yet to be replaced. Thousands of Everton fans will say he did a shit job and deservedly got the bullet. Given they know far more about the situation than any of us (cc @1878) I'm not going to even attempt to argue otherwise. Especially after speaking to Evertonians and doing a bit of research on why it went so badly wrong.

Evertonians knew it would've been a bad appointment and they were proven correct, similarly to how we were with Bruce. However it only got negative inside Goodison Park once the results started to turn and they went on a run of 1 win in 13 matches which included their heaviest home Merseyside derby defeat for years (which was part self inflicted given the way Benitez set up their midfield) and a home defeat where they conceded 5 to Watford who ended up going down on 23 points.

Because it's the international break and there's fuck all else to do, been amusing myself through editing this image. Thought there was far too much potential.

Looks like something worn at the darts.

Find it very hard to disagree with much of that, in spite of my personal admiration of him for what he did here. Post more @1878

That's the point of showing those games, Howe wants to move to being a top tier team so it'll take time and transfer windows rather than changing the current system entirely based on form with the current squad.

Can't see him at Leicester. Think he needs to go abroad, where to I don't know. Find it unlikely he'll get another PL job, he's one that wants nigh on full control over everything football related and I don't think any clubs really operate like that anymore here.
