Apparently United are the only side that has two 19 year olds. Read into that what you will.

Not true. Chelsea have two 19-year-olds on their roster. So do Brighton and Manchester City and Spurs and Palace and Wolves and Luton and West Ham and Newcastle and Burnley and Sheffield United and Bournemouth and Liverpool.

I voted for DC-L, but collectively our defence were phenomenal.

Watching the replay on TV this evening, the difference between the two teams was our defence. They were absolutely awesome, all of them. How many times did Tarkowski clear the ball away? Godfrey made some awesome tackles. Mikolenko had a great game, and such a shame he had to be subbed off. Branthwaite had another wonderful game. Of course, DC-L grabs the headlines, but our defence won that game.

It's been a fucking ride but with 4 games remaining, that's progress right? Keeping in mind we should be tied with Palace (same W/D/L and GD) in 14th and sitting comfortably.

Given whom we play in our remaining games, there's a realistic chance that, without the points deduction, we finish in the top half of the Premier League table. When did that last happen?

Best manager in the league right now!

Was watching the score during various conference calls - amazing result and, by all accounts, fully deserved! Looking out of my office window right now, I can see a flock of pigs flying overhead while snowballs accumulate in the fire pit. Time to buy a lottery ticket?

I shall spend this evening watching the recording I made of the game.

Optimism reigns!

Everton 1-1 Liverpool
Chermiti

Everton wins the 6-pointer! Amazingly, no-one predicted a 2-0 scoreline. Romey gained on Boston Toffee and now trails by just 2 points for the season, setting up a close finish on the final stretch.

Round 32 and the game we'd all rather forget. Mike) scored 5 points, and Boston Toffee recovered to extend his lead for the season.

The one that’s been dropped by Burnley? That Trafford?

I was impressed with him for England U21s but he’s not looked good in big boys football at all. He needs to get a lot stronger because he’s weak as piss. 

He wasn't dropped; he was sick. Moreover, he was included in the senior England squad against Belgium.

I'm pretty sure he'll be one of the "assests" we'll look to move on. Ramsdale is being rumoured to other clubs, if Pickford were to go I'd hope we were after him.

I'd prefer Trafford: younger and with enormous potential.

Glad to hear, saw his post on his Instagram confirming he is okay.

Said in the match day thread but that was his best showing for us in my opinion. Fought for everything & the ball stuck to him a lot better. 

It takes time for many to adjust to the pace and physicality of the Premier League. We expect foreign players to simply jump in, and some are able to do so, but others take time. I would expect Beto to steadily improve and, if we're patient, he could become a major asset.

Delighted I'm wrong.  Not been able to bring my stress levels down. Not sure if there was sarcasm in that but many true Evertonians are struggling to see the shoots of optimism that maybe less emotionally invested fans are. The type who dip their toes in - so to speak.  I'm sure you are absolutely fine and relaxed about it as much as I'm relaxed about the dychy of Cornwall bollocks that seems to get your goat. 

Like I said when people were getting carried away by dyche - shake hands, thanks, goodbye in the summer.

nothing has changed in my book. We are light years off where we should be with our players.  We need a coach. 

 

Just for the record, there was no sarcasm intended whatsoever. What I wrote, I meant quite literally - and thank you for recognizing that and taking it that way.

No Steve I’m sure he’s really gutted that we won, truly wtf is that post about?

You’ve lost me.

I think we will lose.  I said after the Burnley game we had reached an all time low 

we are relying on Luton getting beat today.

ive said all along we are reliant on Luton waving the white flag which they just don't do. Lokonga is back which automatically improves them by 40%.

good times

I’m so glad you were very wrong. I’m sure you are, too. 

Everton 0-0 Forest

I think a lot of people would love to replace Biden, myself included, but he's still a significantly better option than Trump. I find it crazy that someone would say that Biden is trying to destroy the US and that Trump isn't/wasn't. It was absolute chaos under Trump. He's the most polarizing president we've had in my lifetime by a wide margin. We are still feeling the negative effects of his one term. He's also a career criminal and should've been no where near the White House in the first place. The diehard Trump fans don't really care about politics or making the country better -- it's more about "owning the libs" to them. 

I'm still hoping he'll announce at the last minute that he's stepping down and his party appoints a sensible alternative.

In the meantime, anticipating the flood of Trump supporters from out of state who'll come knocking on my door to canvas support, I'm ordering an 'Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for president' baseball cap and an 'E. Jean Carroll for vice-president' T-shirt to wear when I greet them.

Driving to Alabama yesterday to see my daughter and her family, it was shocking to see, even now, "Trump won" signs on stores, crude accusations against President Biden on trucks, people wearing shirts with Trump's mugshot in Atlanta proclaiming 'innocent', and more. Clearly, Trump and his supporters are very visible and vocal. Where have all the reasonable people gone?

Chelsea 0-1 Everton
Doucoure

This round, the only person to score zero points was the season leader: Boston Toffee. This has tightened the race for the season with Romey just 3 points behind. For the month of April, three of us are tied on 7 points: MikeO, Romey, and myself.

I can't help but feel sorry for Burnley's keeper. How must he feel after such a terrible error?

Premier league pushed for 5 points, 17 points they have pushed for in total. We have a similar breach total to forest over the two breaches - yet we got double the points.

this committee actually allowed the war in Ukraine to be used as mitigation..... yet the other panel and appeal panel didn't? 
 

farce 

It is a complete farce and fiasco. And still City get away with massive financial violations. The fact that two point deductions are applied in the same season ought to mean a legal challenge is warranted.

Brentford are definitely in the relegation battle now, and if you look at Crystal Palaces games, all the teams they have left to play are all above them. Palaces easiest games looks to be West Ham and Newcastle at home. 

looking at the games left I would hope we finish above Palace.

If you remember, I suggested that Brentford would struggle when I watched them play Brighton here in Atlanta during the pre-season. It seems that assessment was correct; they are struggling. I do think they'll survive, though. Palace must be a little nervous right now.

Burnley and Sheffield United must be certs for relegation at this point. Personally, I'd much rather see Forest face the drop than Luton. If only we had the same team spirit as Luton, who keep pulling rabbits out of the hat.

I have a question, and it has literally nothing to do with your insights. 

Why the FUCK do I keep seeing people spelling this man's name as Harland? Harland is a pig farmer from Kentucky, not a Norwegian super-striker.

Ok that's all

Just like Dunlop is a tyre company. What's with the double p?
