  2. I'd love him to get it as well but I think the pressure of the constant chat of him getting that first win is making him crumble. If he can go on to get that first win I reckon he'll go on to get a few.

  4. Considering we don't have emerging talent it must've been a redundant job anyway .
  5. I'm crossing my fingers it'll be Garner at RB. Also, I can't see Danjuma getting a sniff.

  7. Everton have won just one of their past 15 Premier League games, and their past two victories have both been over Burnley (2-0 in December and 1-0 earlier this month). Nottingham Forest have gained six points in their past five Premier League games after only taking four from their first eight of 2024. Of the 17 sides to have been in the Premier League since the start of last season, Everton have won the fewest home games (10), earned the fewest home points (37), lost the most home games (17) and scored the fewest home goals (32). And of those 17 sides, Forest have won the fewest away games (three), earned the fewest away points (18), lost the most away games (23), scored the fewest away goals (28) and conceded the most away goals (77). The Blues have conceded 48 league goals this season, having shipped 66 in 2021-22 and 57 last term. They last conceded 50 or more in three consecutive 38-game campaigns between 1907-08 and 1909-10. Including penalties, the Reds have scored both the joint fewest goals (six) and the lowest percentage of goals (14%) from set-pieces this season. Meanwhile, they have also conceded the most goals (25) and the highest percentage of goals (43%) from set-pieces in 2023-24.
  8. FA Cup replays will be scrapped from the first round proper from next season. It's no wonder the top 6 clubs do as they please because they're constantly pandered to.
  9. Spurs don't need to blink, if we re-sign him then we owe them.
  10. It's not acceptance of average at all, it's realising that reality is reality. And the reality is for us that we're pretty shit and that it's going to take a long time to improve to the extent that we challenge for anything remotely looking like success. We're nowhere near chasing success currently but what I want us to chase is progress. That means finishing at least one place further up the league every season, possibly getting through to a further round in each cup (possibly because knock-out competitions are hard thing to get through). What it doesn't mean is getting irate because the team isn't challenging for titles/cups all because we won a league in 1987. Times change. You have to realise where you currently are and where you want to get to. But it takes time and you need to have a bit of perspective. Now, that does not mean that I don't want to get back to what we once were. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum means a hell of a lot to me, I have it tattooed on my skin. Nothing but the best is good enough is a fantastic motto to follow and we absolutely should live by it, but 'the best' doesn't really mean actually being the best of all. It means being the best you can be and the best we can be is not the best of all. We need to learn to walk again before we can run.
  11. Duffy's brother that through his toys out of the pram if I remember rightly .

  13. It didn’t come across as likely to be a comeback with Everton tbh.
  14. That’s more Shukes’ domain if the Gomes thread is anything to go by.
