Didn’t respect the ball enough when he smacked it against the post at the end…

And far less of a cunt.

The tone of his response reminded me of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in his interview with Emily Maitlis, where the stuff he’s coming out is patently ridiculous, but because he’s under the impression he’s so intellectually superior, he’s almost oblivious to it, and just thinks he’ll be able to make you think he’s right. (obviously, I’m not comparing the two subject matters).

Probably just minimises potential bother. Happened with us in Dortmund (possibly Leverkusen too). Although we didn’t have huge gaps that could be populated in our away ends.

Club response to the issue of Barca fans in the home end.

Moving swiftly on…🤣

Absolutely no way Dortmund could afford him either (or at least not without completely smashing their transfer record and the associated policy/model that they adhere to).

Yes, it matters far, far less than it used to. Although you get a bigger share of the pot the better your coefficient is (granted, in terms of ECL, that’s probably a bigger share of next to fuck all). I guess I’d just use that graphic mainly as a (very) rough guide to the kind of opposition we would face.

This is from Football Rankings, and is obviously completely spurious at the minute because a) no qualifications have been decided and b) this seasons European comps haven’t ended, so some clubs could still add to their coefficient total. But regardless, it gives an indication of what our standing would be, and the kind of opponents we would face, if we made ECL.

Man Utd have got five players starting today whose surname ends in ‘o’. That feels like some kind of record for a PL team?

About time Everton fans found a new HATE figure in their squad.

Cos there’s nowhere else to sit?

Rooney said that before the game he walked past them pitchside, and Rooney and whoever else was there, went to shake his hand and he said something along the lines of ‘l better not, I’ve had the lurgy’ - all of which seems to have been true. But Rooney then went on to say, if he’s got the lurgy he’s just going to pass it on to all the other players in the changing room, but Gordon was pointing out that he got changed by himself in a separate room. So Rooney needs to wind his neck in.

Rooney in the mud.

He needs to learn to STFU. Talking, talking, talking all the time. People stop listening man.

Just watched LinkedIn Liam’s post-match presser. Had to turn it off before the end. What a cunt.

Just shows, Donnarumma’s absolutely class, as well as massive, and he still struggles with these corners.

Trying to DDT Palmer about 5 seconds after stepping on the pitch was probably a bit much, and for the best that Palmer avoided it. However, he made a difference to our physicality in the closing stages, which was needed. And now he should be nicely warmed up to crank the beast mode up to the max on Wednesday.

Back running on the grass according to Eddie.

!? Find that difficult to believe? Until the last month or so he’d been their best player along with rat boy.

That article states Capology as the source, but if you actually look at Capology it has him on in excess of £200k, which feels more realistic.

I read that they had stewards doing a check/count along rows at a recent game to make sure extra people weren’t squashing in.

Alex Murphy starting for the U21’s tonight, so all the lineups for tomorrow with him starting can get in the bin…
