I’d be very happy if this one was to come off.

With the planning applications required I can’t see that happening.

I can’t and won’t believe that’s true. We’re stupid but hopefully not that stupid.

I agree. I think I heard that only 1 in 5 normally take up a season ticket. As a southern Evertonian season ticket holder I’m not looking forward to this season with the prices of fuel going up in an almost daily basis. I seriously considered stopping it this season purely down to this.

Unbelievably good yesterday against Scotland. Watching him in midfield to me makes me feel he isn’t being used properly as a LB. I can’t believe we’d be able to afford him but if we can it’s a no brainier. His quick feet yesterday completely surprised me.

Terrible Grand Prix circuit and a joke they call it the jewel in the crown. It’s just a procession. This is then compounded by inept decisions from race control to extract any excitement for the viewing public. Two rolling starts and no chance of racing in the rain when they have an extreme wet tyre. However, I watched it so I guess I’m the fool.

I saw that and the irony wasn’t lost on me. Had I known that prior to the game I could have relaxed a lot more knowing it was written in the stars.

Just got home. Couldn’t help myself but spend an hour or so in the pub post game sucking up the celebration and energy. Where do I start? I’m not going to dissect the game but to say what an experience and it was everything I love and hate with Everton in one game, but I wouldn’t change it for the world!

I worry Bill won’t go anywhere till we’re in BMD.

With every passing match and interview I’m loving the manager than he’s becoming!

We have fun times ahead. Loads more infighting and chaos. The crazy thing is I bit the bullet today and renewed for another year of expensive travel and significant pain and misery!

Who would you have wanted longer? Big Sam? Rafa? In an ideal world with progression I’d agree but the appointments have been poor with the exception of Carlo. However even this was mad when you see the agreed clause in his contract. Id agree Moshiri has interfered with transfers but also the mangers have bought in overpriced players that aren’t likely to have had moshiri involvement and we havnt got value for money on these eg. Tosun, Walcott, Klaassen, Siggy, Bolasie You can’t keep appointing mangers that are poles apart in how they play. That’s why we have a surplus of players that just don’t work. It’s the square peg, round hole analogy.

I’m not mad just disappointed! Matip treads on Gordon’s foot whilst pushing him. I can’t see any other decision being at all feasible. Also if that was the other round it would 100% be given.

I’d say keeping up with the times as fashion comes and goes. The evidence that we didn’t use one as they’re meant to be utilised has manifested itself into the mess we have today and shows why the role exists. If it doesn’t you have to have people that the relevant football knowledge which we clearly don’t.

Why get a director of football then? The problem has been the appointment of managers that have footballing styles/philosophy that are poles apart. When they’ve inevitably get sacked we end up with a patch work quilt of a squad that can’t be shoehorned into a cohesive team. What needed to happen was for Moshiri to let Brands set a type/style of play from top to bottom of the club and then appoint mangers that fit this vision. For me it’s on Moshiri. How he still pumps money in and builds the stadium is commendable but the worrying part is he’s still not learnt.

This is what I’ve been saying to everyone and it’s not been highlighted anywhere. Sky Sport conveniently ignore this in the Ref watch. AG even mentioned this in his post match interview. The stand on the foot is for me the bigger foul but the fact he pushes at the same time is why this is as clearer pen as you’ll see. Dermot then goes on to say I’ve seen them given and also not given and he would fall down on the side of no penalty! I don’t want to sound like a raving conspiracy theorist but the decisions we get there have been and continue to be ludicrous.

As if I needed anymore incentive to want us to stay up.

Our players were good away when there was no one there watching.

No idea why I must be glutton for punishment as I’ll be watching with the ridiculous hope that some miracle might happen. I used to go into these games with a glimmer of hope but that extinguished many years ago now.

And then most will find out it’ll be too expensive.

I’ve still not renewed with a few days to go. I probably will but the cost of fuel at the moment getting there and back every other week is killing me! Also the amount of times we’ve had fixtures moved has meant train travel is almost impossible too.

That’s fair enough I knew it was close. Knowing Levi there’s probably more to it than meets the eye. He is a luxury style player but there have been opportunities he could have played. I just can’t see him staying past the summer based on what we’ve seen so far.

Bought to use but subsequently found out he isn’t what we need or the right fit. I can’t see any other explanation.

I assume we don’t want to play him as we don’t want to activate the number of games clause.
