Already practicing my disappointment and disgust when I see Lascelles and Ritchie on the starting lineup. Prove me wrong Eddie.

I don’t get why it’s not straightforward to say he was a success with us, but hasn’t been elsewhere for some time. It’s not totally alien, happens all the time. See Moyes as a prime example.

Don’t buy that too much at all. Everton’s squad is no worse than Arsenal’s, for example. Yet they’re eight points and nine places behind them. Teams like Brighton, Brentford and Palace above them. Getting knocked out the cup by QPR. He’s underperforming with the resources at his disposal, regardless of what transfer budget he has or hasn’t had.

Mag.

Over the last 10 games, Everton are the only team below us in the form table. Wow. Have also scored less and conceded more.

If they appointed Nuno I’d make them one of the favourites for the drop. A club on a downward spiral should not be appointing a manager on the same trajectory.

Another dreadful performance. Don’t see how he turns this around. We were slow starters under him but nowhere near this crap.

Everton are a complete mess.

Sounds better when you point out Oldham are 91st out of the 92 in the English league pyramid.

Medical emergency now at Southampton delaying the second half.

Best thing to do would be to wind it all down and start again. A bit like the cloob, it needs a complete refresh and restart.

Greg is the Chair. The buck stops with him. He bypassed everything to reinstate Alex and has driven out good people in the process. The Trust have achieved fuck all under his leadership and if anything, it has divided the fanbase further at a point we should be more united than ever. Maybe he is a nice person to have a pint with. But his underhand ways of running the Trust are bullshit and it’s been a complete shambles. Your defence of Greg is no better than Gary Neville defending OGS’s performance because he’s his mate and a “nice guy”.

Leicester were 7 points adrift with 8 games to go in 2014 and managed to survive ffs We’ve literally got three times the number of games to overturn a smaller gap. People are being so over dramatic and handpicking their stats/comparisons that are completely irrelevant to the here and now.

Still trotting out the “Greg is a good guy” as he shits on his fellow fans and Board members while Alex plays him like a puppet. This has been obvious to most for a long time. Shame people are still giving them the time of day. How many genuinely good people need to walk away before people take notice?

Pukki missed countless chances at the weekend but somehow smashes a volley into the top corner against us, which was his only chance of the game.

That was the warning sign in relation to signing him. He wasn’t performing like a player who scored a bagful of goals, he just seemed to be in the right place at the right time. 3(?) of the goals were pretty much just him walking off the bench and scoring. Maybe I’m misremembering, but I don’t recall him really bossing any particular games.

Is it disrespectful to ask teams like San Marino to go through an additional qualifier? In that case, why don’t we let Phristina from Kosovo qualify directly into the CL group stages to allow them a big day out against Kane and Foden? Why do we put them through additional qualifiers? Or why not send Basingstoke directly into the FA Cup 3rd round? These are the quality of the teams playing.

I thought the qualifying for the men’s World Cup needed a rethink. The women’s is something else. England are top of their group in qualifying with 53 goals scored and none conceded in 6 games. Ridiculous really. There are nine teams (out of 54 qualifiers) with zero points from 5/6 games played. All with goal differences into the minus 40s and 50s. What is the point in pitting some of these teams up against one another? It can’t be great viewing either, the male England-San Marino games are a bag of wank, but imagine having to watch that 10 times over.

Don’t worry, it’s not just this thread he talks shit in.

Would you like me to respond on a graded 0-10 scale, via Yes or No or through modern dance?

Martin Dubravka 7 A questionable moment which led to the equaliser but redeemed himself in stoppage time to deny Giannoulis. A tough night as he faced 14 shots from the visitors. 1. How is he rated above Joelinton? You know, that guy who was Man of the Match. 2. He didn’t face 14 shots. Norwich had 16 shots. 3. Only 6 were on target. How does Dubravka get credit for those off target?

Think you need to go back to pollschool. But aye, in your completely made up and upside down poll, it’d be a 9.

I wouldn’t vote 10. Why would I be 100% certain of ASM scoring 5 goals in one game? I’d probably vote 2. Which allows for the slight possibility of it happening.

Tell the bookies that. They disagree with you. Maybe they’ve decided to start losing money. Still think it’s mad that people get lost in the fact everyone has to play everyone twice and have a different sequence of fixtures. Some might say it’s great we play Liverpool and Man City at the end of the season because they may be on the beach with nowt to play for. Maybe Burnley and Southampton are therefore at a disadvantage. Who knows. That’s the point of it, anything can happen in the next 24 games and we’ve got just as much chance as anyone.

Would have him as captain, personally. That said I don’t know what he’s like off the pitch, but he appears to be a leader on it.
