They said you paid $54m for him on NBC today. Was sure that couldn't be right.

 

Yeah, if he makes loads of appearances, wins cups, cures world hunger and gets today's Wordle in one we end up eventually paying top whack. Unfortunately very little of it is likely.

ITT: People talking to Neil like he's the absolute worst stereotype of an Everton fan that wronged them on Twitter and coming across like needlessly arrogant tossers

RE Pickford, I know people that know him close and by all accounts he’s a decent lad, but still hangs around with numpties from his childhood. He also suffers with mental health problems and I think I’ve heard he may be bi-polar or has ADD? He’s a decent ‘keeper for me anyway!

He might be a decent lad but he’s a shit keeper 

[David Edgar]

Dele on 100k a week.  At what point do they stop playing him to avoid having to pay Spurs huge sums of money?  

 

It's a bad deal whatever the structure, given how toss he is.

[Pata]

I seem to be one of the few who don't want to see Everton relegated.  One of my best mates is an Everton fan and in general as a fan I want to have as many traditional PL clubs in the league as possible. Us vs Leeds or Everton feels like a big match but Burnley means nothing to me. There's one another team I would like to have back for the same reasons but I don't have the balls to name it.

[Wolfcastle]

Lampard just been congratulated for his "great gamesmanship" by an interviewer.

[xLiaaamx]

I assume the Everton plan was try to con someone to pay you guys for him before you pay Spurs anything. Can't see any takers though. 

 

 

 

Oh ffs actually Fulham exist.

 I appreciate it, funny to see how threatened some people are by a team who have been shite for years.

It’s social media that causes the animosity as you get the bell ends on there having a go at other fans (cuts both ways and we’ve got our fair share). The perception from social media alone is Everton fans hate us post takeover which I don’t think is the reality for the majority of the support but some loud mouths on the internet give that impression.

Yup - was just coming to post that. He's the poster boy for the football establishment, isn't he?

I think he is a brilliant keeper when he is not in the "chest thumping pashun" mode. All of the best keepers nowadays - Allison, Ederson, Courtois, Neur - keep a low profile during the game, try to calm down when things are heated. Pickford is the opposite of that. Gets too involved in the banter and tries to win the war of words. 

 

Look at him for England. Southgate is like the perfect manager for him. Dials down the temperature. Emphasizes players to use their heads. In that environment, Pickford is brilliant.

 

For everton, he reverts back to the "pashun" mode and then all the flaws crop up.

Also Pickford is a glaring example

of how lax the PL drug testing regime is. That man loves a line 

 

 

 

Judging by that shite music he listens to. I’d defo say he’s partial to a bit of speed on a night out.

Media: Splendid fellows, brave heroes risking life and limb for Blighty!

It predates the takeover. Probably started with Rafa coming here in 2016. I also remember seeing a lot of Everton fans online opposing/eventually gloating over the failed 2019 BZG takeover.

 

Although something I've noticed is that the loudest Everton voices online tend to be Americans so I'm not sure how representative the animosity actually is.

Record possession for a PL game for Liverpool apparently. 85%

This polarity of his in-game personality was best displayed in the build up to the Jorginho penalty against Italy. Probably the most high pressure moment of Pickford's career, certainly more than an outing at St James' Park or a derby at Anfield, and he was mouthing to himself "no problem, no problem" before pulling off an outstanding, crucial save. 

He clearly has it within him to handle the high pressure situations, and I think when in the right headspace he's one of the better keepers in the league.

Anthony Gordon interview on Sky saying he was in 'severe pain' when he was fouled by Matip for 2nd penalty shout

 

If you bought Wayne Rooney on Wish you'd end up with this cunt. Even sounds like him

I'd like Everton to go down cos it'd be funny and Lampard's a prick, but I wouldn't want them gone for long. Also don't think there's anything wrong with their fans, it's just loud dickheads and we've plenty of them.
