That defeat was almost like losing 4 points. Always thought our goal difference this season would be an advantage at the end of the season.

Looks like Luton are bottling it against Brentford... We have to take this chance tomorrow. Which probably means we'll bottle it too

So the second commission accepted that the loss of earnings from USM as a mitigating factor, but the first one (two) didn't?? "However, the commission accepted Everton's arguments for mitigation in relation to the fact the club has: Already been deducted points this season Suffered a loss of revenue because of the suspension of a sponsorship deal with Russian company USM Made an early admission of guilt"

I know it should be irrelevant but I imagine if we'd have drawn/lost the game then you would have heard a lot more uproar about it.

Ffs what is that

Surely the new rules will be going forward, not retrospective? Ridiculous if so. Means any of the top 6 can break the rules whenever they want then get a bail out when they change the rules after the crime has been committed.

Makes the takeover that much important, the fact that we currently have an owner that doesn't want to put in any more money and an incomplete starting 11. We're gonna be looking at maximum loans for another year.

Under weaknesses, you've put scoring goals. That's your job though, innit.

Hope we're getting a fee/good chunk of his wages covered. Bit of a risky move if he does well...

Bad headline but if they're working their contracted hours and not being paid any overtime then we'd all do the same in our jobs.

Not surprised anyone wanted to show it after the first game.

I might be wrong but I think he said if City had breached in the last financial records they'd be under the same timeframe as us (and other small clubs!). I guess they submitted 'clean' accounts this year.

Couple of weeks off til the next game though. I think he'll go for it. Especially with Luton in the next round (not that that'll be easy)

That was the first time in 7 or 8 games we've looked poor, so that's a massive plus point looking at the big picture. Well beaten today, so I can't really pick a MOTM. We looked absolutely shattered. Let's put it behind us, rest, and smash Villa with hopefully a full and rested squad. We've earned 26 points over the first half of the season, all we have to do is do it again

Oh 100%. Minus Doucoure it's probably the best we could hope for though. Will it be Garner in the Doucoure role do we think? I can't really see Onana there and I'm not sure how effective Garner would be on the wing with Harrison in the middle.
