I don’t think there’s a big move for him… Man U, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal have all brought new keepers this season - Man C, Liverpool, Villa don’t need him - Newcastle is just a no go for him. I don’t see him going abroad so, as long as we’re in this league, I don’t see him going anywhere. Last summer was the time to go if he was with 4 of the Sky 6 bringing in new ‘number 1s’.

I think you've summed it up well. Just that I think he is very important to us.

Yep my eldest has it too.  I took vyvanse to take an aptitude test for a job application…… night and day difference but stopped taking it.

my son probably does need meds for school, very bright boy but when the shutters come down it’s tough. Been a very tough one to think through tbh, still not comfortable 

Do you find proper weed helps?!

 

My youngest diagnosed ADHD, on meds but big worry for us as he takes his career forward and has a young family.

Not at all. It is obvious he is committed and loves he club but he is a brilliant stopper and if the money is right we could sell?

I've been watching highlights of our games, realistically can we keep hold of him? I hope his professed for the club means his head won't be turned.

Myko but Tarks and Pickford did good.

The latter is the bit I meant. That said, Doucouré is making that position his own.

And he is putting club over country, top man.

Even if they took 12 points off, we'd be on 2 points and 7 from safety with 2 thirds of the season to go, a season where we've won 60% of the last 10 and only lost twice. 

Don't tell them that.

The old Everton would have had heads down after their equaliser and given up, this one battled. 

Another international break now, sick of them.

Everton commentary said this ref hasn't refereed us before, might explain why he's let Eze off easily, scared of the home crowd.

If I corrected all of Palfy's mistakes I'd be on here 24/7

You need VAR, Mike. 

More references to players coming back when they are ready. I like that. It's the reason Dom is where he is now, not rushed back. Also Dele being involved with the squad though he's not ready to play yet. Full marks to Sean and his team.

He has also looked more happy recently, hopefully his family are relatively safe in Ukraine and that reflects in his game.

Firstly, I don't think many expected Eddie Howe to do such a good job with Newcastle but he has. There are certain things about Dyche that piss me off tactically but I also understand reason behind why he makes some of his decisions.

I agree but I think we need to have a solid foundation & I am not sure we will have that by the end of next year. I think we need to identify a clear direction in the style of which we play & consistently recruit both players & managers that will compliment that. If we finish this season 14th and then the next say 10th under Dyche, I think it would be mad to move him on based on that however I would also expect us to have a shortlist of managers who are deemed suitable to come in at anytime (now included) to progress us further.

Howe had an easier ride going into the job knowing he would have funds at his disposal. Dyche came to us knowing pretty much the opposite.

You said "currently" which when I went to school suggested present tense

Pedantic as always

He's found his forever home Is he looking forward to the BHA game? 

Our 2 rescues arrived for the Leicester game Jan 2021. I jumped off the sofa when James scored, scared them to death!

Good news as he’s still a very important player - we should be looking at the contingency plan, even as soon as next season, as he’s hitting his twilight years. Willock at Newcastle is someone I’d be keeping an eye on if we were looking for like for like.

No. Keep what we know. 

Footy fans like travel, food and drink. On a tour for a Turkish lunch in Izmir today sat opposite a Port Vale season ticket holder who lives in Henley not far from me. Drink at bar, American Reading supporter, hats off to his knowledge of the English game. Great conversations. 

Will be following Brazil GP on a cruise back to Athens with Auto sport live text.

They need to name something after him in the new stadium for fuck sake, even if it’s the toilets in the west stand

StevO's seat? 

Thank you Liverpool.

In worse case scenario I would hope our lawyers are arguing in strong terms the fact that the  Citeh case has not been resolved after how long?

Worried it will be too.

I hope not. It won't show our club as having any class.

RIP Bill you did genuinely love the club, thoughts with the family. Tough time for them. Whatever some people's thoughts are this is a time for respect.

Being sentimental, given his background, I think he looks happy playing.
