    Cornish Steve got a reaction from Palfy in Trump all over again   
    Marjorie Taylor Greene represents the district in Georgia where I live, and she's a complete disgrace. I'm so embarrassed that residents in this area vote for her overwhelmingly time and again. Her campaign literature is dark, sinister, and paints the US as now being a communist dictatorship, and people believe this nonsense.

    Cornish Steve reacted to RuffRob in Sean Dyche   
    I think in normal circumstances Dyche might be going through a run of games where questions might start to be rasied about the team and how it's progressing results wise and playing wise under his management. 
    However, we are so far removed from normal circumstances as a club could be.  Dyche is working under the most unusual circumstances we could really imagine at a football club. The points you have won being taken off you based on things that went on before your arrival and then with the spectre of even more points being taken away from you hanging over you. You add to this the madness of how the ownership and board situation is at this club, the long standing Chairman passing away. All these signficant things happening off the pitch over 2/3's of a season is quite astounding really.
    All this has to negatively affect the players and football management side of the club.
    The biggest thing that is really going against Dyche and the wider team at the moment seems to be a bit of luck - Performance wise easily half of our defeats/draws could have quite easily have turned out as wins on a different day. I don't beleive he as lost the players or dressing room at all, in fact they all seem to be working together to try and change the results. 
    I imagine he would have loved to have been in the position 10 games ago to try and take on games a little more going in to them as a mid table team. However, he has had the tractor beam of the points deduction that is keeping us (and will do now for the rest of the season) pulled toward the bottom three - that in itself brings a nervouseness to the players and fans alike. 
    Everton are at what I feel is a very delecate tipping point at the moment -  Until the points deductions and ownership issues are sorted out, the last thing we should do is be trying to change manager again. Especailly as Dyches main downfall to me has been that he's been very unlucky this season - both on and off the pitch.
    If this had been a 'normal' season, just about football - I could quite easily see this team having a two or three more wins under their belt and now being safe on between 35-40 points. 
    I would actually like to see Dyche manage in to next season, with hopefully points deduction behind us and a new owner and board in place - to me he has and is showing enough to suggest he deserves a normal season.

    I'd choose McNeil over Harrison any day. Jack Harrison has been a big disappointment for me.

    Cornish Steve got a reaction from Matt in Gambling and the Premier League   
    I written this before, and I know it's controversial, but there's no culture in the world that glorifies drinking more than Britain. When Brits fly to the US for a business meeting, the first conversation is inevitably about beer. The moment the meeting is over? Time to go for a drink. What funny stories are told? Those times when they got completely sloshed. As far as I'm aware, this obsession with drinking does not exist in other cultures, and I've traveled to a lot of places. For sure, they drink heavily in Russia, for example, but it doesn't dominate conversations and all aspects of life.
     
    So may beer companies should be banned from sponsoring teams. That puts us in even more trouble, though.

    I'm sure we're spending a lot of time practicing set pieces, including corners. A few seasons ago, our corners were predictably terrible. Today, they are the source of several of our goals. More can be done, for sure, regarding finishing in open play, but that's more down to individual players.

    Cornish Steve reacted to Goodison Glory in Jordan Pickford   
    Just saw a cray stat (well not so crazy if you've actually watched our games)
    Pickford has 58 passes into the opp box....next highest goalkeeper only has 14 (4x lower)
    personally I thought pickers made 58 in the palace game alone 😂

    A life sentence seems very harsh.

    Nah win more games this season & cop another couple of points this year. 2-6 points deducted next season could cost us the title.

    There's no way the authorities can change the rules and apply two financial penalties in one financial year. Such a decision would surely be overturned. What would make sense is deferring any second points reduction to the next season.

    Cornish Steve got a reaction from Matt in Brighton (Away) 24th February   
    We’d have taken a draw before the game started, playing away against a decent team. Yes it’s disappointing to lose two points at the very end, but it’s not a bad result.
