Agreed. I think Wolves could be in trouble this season and Luton and Sheff Utd have to be amongst the favourites to go down.

I said last week that I think this could be the first season where the bottom three places are absolutely nailed by October/November.

I think us, Wolves and Luton may well be cut adrift as early as that. Us and Wolves have worse squads than last season was left with (in our case, an already shit squad) and Luton are just, well, Luton.

Sheffield United may be in the mix but I think they'll have enough. They'll grit their way to a 15th/16th finish pretty similar to Burnley.

Being a rat to your boyhood club worked out nicely didn't it, give it 18 months and Claire Balding will be in the same boat.

Chelsea > Nice > Luton. You love to see it.

I was intrigued by him as he'd come from Red Bull and was known to be very, very fast. 

As others (and the stats) have said, he didn't light up Leicester and this really doesn't fill me with much optimism. I don't want Iheanacho either, but would take him over Daka.

I'm delighted with this thread as it gives a quick insight into who was dropped as a baby and who wasn't.

Maupay pinching a ball from garner….. he wasn’t happy. 

Can't really blame Maupay to be fair.

Lovely little one-two and Onana rockets the post. Really hope we don't lose him, he's absolutely excellent.

Great move from us ends in a penalty for handball, nicely taken from DCL who makes it 1-0.

The tweet earlier is bullshit by the way, I've just got home and the game is on Portuguese TV. Looks like Goodison (from the stands that are open of course) are packed.

Back in The Brick.

Pint of Madri , negotiations complete, barmaid accepted bid, Here we go!

Did you stand at the bar and wonder, "what would the Everton board do?"

Squad numbers should be announced as soon as that seasons kits are available to purchase imo.

Yeah I've never understood the delay between kit and number. It's not a big thing for the club, but massive for fans if they get it wrong.

The Bolton fans are proper weird fuckers.

Anyone picking Everton over Atalanta, unless you're an Evertonian is stupid. He will 100% go to Italy, no question about it. 

We will end up with Iheanacho, which was probably the plan all along as he'll be much cheaper.

Gobshite. 

I love how how every season without fail the pre-season streams simply don't work.

Even @markjazzbassistdidn't want him.

Should be booed at Everton game if he comes back the little gobshite. Shouldn't even be in discussions to bring him back - rat.

Absolutely shite.

I'm fine with the mass exodus, our team is shit. What concerns me is how we're not replacing, and I don't trust the board to sign proper replacements.

It's going to be another massively shit season isn't it?

"Who would the Everton board kidnap?"

I hope she stands on an upright plug personally.

Don't see the issue if it's in a captaincy, from the bench kinda' role.

If we've got plans to play him for a good portion of the season then we're asking for trouble.

I'm wondering if I can fit into a XL kids one to avoid that eyesore. It really looks smart. 

Haha same - think it'd be boss without a sponsor but I'm way past the kids sizes . 

After a few years of proper bog standard, 6/10 kits that's fantastic. If it wasn't for the absolutely shite sponsor I'd go as far as a possible 10/10. 

I was a bit scared after seeing some of Hummels kits this summer (i.e. - Southampton) but ours is fantastic.

Fast forward to May and we'll have some graphic on how Yerry Mina has played every game for Fulham in the 23/24 season.
