Romey 1878

I think it'll mostly be down to the huge interest rates we're paying on all the loans we've got going on.

One.

We made a loss of £89.1m according to our latest accounts.

We hadn't conceded a headed goal all season until Godfrey came into the side. The defence as a whole is all the worse just for having him in it. Both CB's have been impacted by him as well - they have to go over and cover for him a lot when he's playing in either full-back position.

Pickford Coleman Tarkowski Branthwaite Mykolenko Patterson Gana Onana Danjuma McNeil Beto We've got to do something different. Harrison and McNeil have both been absolutely shite at getting the ball into the box but there are options to change it up. If Patterson is a liability defensively then push him up to right midfield. He can put a great delivery in. Danjuma has pace and can beat his man, and he's got the ability to do something on his own. I know it's unlikely he'll be Dyche fit to play (even if he had the inclination to play him) but it's what I'd do. I don't particularly want McNeil getting yet another opportunity but there aren't a lot of options there to replace Doucoure when playing 2 strikers doesn't seem to work for us but if he can get into space to negate his complete lack of pace then he can pick a pass. You could even swap McNeil and Danjuma if that works better. Or change them throughout the game. Beto isn't the greatest but he at least knows the feeling of scoring at the moment, and with Newcastle's central defence being decimated the carnage he can bring could just work. I realise that we'll probably just see the exact same thing but I feel we really need to actually try and win games, instead of just trying not to lose them (which we're doing anyway). We don't have squad that has a lot of quality but we do have options to change things.

His first one was a cracker like. We sold him because he wanted to leave and we saw how the money would be pure profit on our books. Plus he was 22/23 so it's not like he was a kid that we (as in the club) didn't know much about. If they come up and he does the business in the PL then I'll hold my hands up but it wasn't that long ago that he went on a long stretch of not scoring and couldn't get in their team. Gray was another opportunity to make huge profit on a cheap signing, and obviously there was more to him leaving than just that as well. Iwobi wouldn't sign a new contract so we needed to get shut of him. Again for the books. We shouldn't need to be doing this sort of thing, selling people because of profit etc, but that's what the PL has created and we needed to go down this route. At the end of the day though (sorry Mike ), it's not the selling of these players that is the problem. It's how they've been replaced.

I'm not even sure that's true tbh, he wasn't even involved in the game yesterday. There were so many passengers and he wasn't even the biggest one.

Anyone know a witch doctor so they can cast a spell so that Mykolenko is over his illness?

Bournemouth are unbeaten across all seven of their Premier League home matches against Everton (W5 D2), the Cherries’ most matches at the Vitality Stadium against any side without recording a loss. Only Sheffield United (10) have scored fewer than Everton’s 11 first half Premier League goals this season, after the Toffees saw the first half of their match against Bournemouth end goalless. In fact, both Everton (5.67%) and Bournemouth (7.33%) hold the two worst first half shot conversion this campaign. Bournemouth have now avoided defeat in their past 11 Premier League matches in which they’ve scored the first goal since a 2-1 defeat to Wolves in October 2023. On his 358th Premier League appearance for Everton, Séamus Coleman netted his sixth own goal to consign Everton to defeat. Only Richard Dunne (10), Jamie Carragher (7), Phil Jagielka (7) and Martin Skrtel (7) have ever scored more own goals than Coleman. Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke has scored 16 Premier League goals this season, the joint-most ever scored for the Cherries during a season alongside Josh King in 2016-17.

But at least now look like they won't lose. Fucking hell .

Like us, Brentford have forgotten how to win too.

That would be rational, mate. Mike's not the only one who can do this. I've watched, took notes, and learned from him.

Newty, who made you a member of the clique and why wasn't I fucking informed?

So you think he's going to leave an actual management job and come and be a cheerleader here while Baines and Rooney manage the team? Palf, whatever you're drinking must be incredible stuff and I'd really like some of it to cheer me up .

I can't wait for his return from injury.

He probably could have come for it but I still don't think that takes anything away from the fuck up from Coleman. But it's not something I'll hold against him at all. Others in this team would brush that off like it was nothing but he won't. He's as big an Evertonian as any of us on here.

I'm not sure sacking Dyche is the way to go but I am 100% sure that getting Ferguson anywhere near being in charge is a mistake.

There's only so long I can remain positive and I'm reaching the end of the line on that now. After a three week break at the very least I was expecting to see a side that was full of energy and would press Bournemouth all over the pitch. Instead what we got was a lethargic and clueless performance. You'd think they last played yesterday. We were so slow in possession it was excruciating. Harrison said in the week we'd been working on the game plan for today of getting the ball wide quickly and then whipping the ball. WHERE THE FUCK WAS THAT?! You would have been forgiven for forgetting Harrison was even on the pitch until the fucker was subbed. McNeil had a couple of moments but even when we managed to get him into a crossing position it was like he thought the plan was to NOT put the ball into the box because he slowed things down and then passed the ball backwards. Braindead fucking oaf. Despite playing like absolute dog shit we should have had a penalty to have the opportunity to take the lead. That was no different to the one Tarkowski gave away against United. How VAR has said that wasn't one is a fucking joke. It is 100% a penalty. No doubt about it. The first goal, I don't know who to blame - Tarkowski for not knowing what's behind him or Godfrey for ignoring what he can see happening right in fucking front of him! I'd go with mostly Godfrey tbh and that will be yet another goal the moron has cost us. Then we're gifted an equaliser and then all you want them to do is consolidate that and at least get out of there with a point. Could they do it? Could they like shite. Shoot ourselves in the foot and lose the fucking game. It's yet another occasion where we have the advantage over those around us (game in hand and already ahead etc) and you just want them to grab the opportunity. But there is something deeply. deeply wrong with the mentality of this club that means they fuck it up. I say the club, rather than the team, because this is not a recent thing, or a Dyche thing. This has been going on for as long as I can remember. Going for Europe and looking to solidify things because those around us have hard games or have lost? Fuck that nonsense. In a relegation crap and have the opportunity to get ourselves away from trouble when others have lost? No, doesn't happen. This club makes things hard. Harder than they need to be.

I don't. He's shit. If Dyche is shit then you don't swap him for more shit. You look for better. Ferguson ain't it and never has been.

I really feel for him after that mistake today because it'll have hurt him. He cares.

Please be fit for Tuesday. I cannot cope watching the boxer play again. I dislike it so much I'd rather go with 3 at the back with Coleman as a CB if he's not fit. That's how much I do not want to see Ben Godfrey playing.

Ferguson has a job. He currently has his side 9th out 10 teams in the Scottish Championship. Stellar.

A popo talking about beak...

And there it is. How do you ever compete when the drawbridge has been brought up behind them? You don't, you just become even more of a feeder club than you already are.

Good for you, I just feel like I'm going to poo myself with nerves.
