Anyone booing the silence on Sunday is a bit of a cunt IMO. You can be pro or against the Royalty without making a scene about someone's passing being observed, it's a basic human right to surely have respect when a life is being remembered and/or celebrated. It's not like we've been planning a silence to show our respect to Hitler, although some on social media would have you believe that way.

Any news on @Romey 1878 getting his account back? Not nice that someone's hacked him and has started posting on his behalf. Pretty sure he's posted in another thread that we should be looking to re-sign Cuco Martina and Ashley Williams too, alongside this out of character sentimentality here.

Went through a lot of dough apparently. Heavy bank balance once he'd finished.

Can you throw a pump in aswell please?

10 days of mourning I believe so yeah, I guess any games from now until 10 days will be cancelled.

Personally, I feel that it's a disgrace Napoli have been allowed to let their pitch get so dry.

Begovic is someone that I actually rate as a second 'keeper, there's been some absolute clampets in the past but I wouldn't put Asmir in that bracket. Still, a massive miss for us - Pickford has been one of our best players this season. I think anyone would miss someone like him inbetween the sticks given the form that he's been in.

I can't say I'm surprised tbh, the new owner has already got rid of Petr Cech and that woman who was running the show (always forget her name). I think that the writing was on the wall for Tuchel months ago really. It's a laughable decision though, won them a Champions League and took them far in domestic competitions. The wheels have fallen off this season, but we're only a handful of games in so there's plenty of time to turn things around. The fact that he was allowed to get to the end of the transfer window, spend upwards of £200m, bring in Aubamayang who he's best mates with to then get sacked six days later is fucking madness. I really like the Tuchel too, comes across as someone who really knows his football and someone who would do well pretty much anywhere. He'll no doubt get another job elsewhere in six months time and do well with them, which ironically is probably when Chelsea will be gearing up to sack Potter, Pochettino or who else will be stupid enough to go there. Gerrard is living off his reputation at the moment IMO, the draw against Manchester City will have helped him too but the fans have really turned on him. They play awful football and so far this season, Gerrard's not managed to get a tune out of his starting XI's. Tyrone Mings is an absolutely gash footballer, but the way in which he demoted him seemed a little bit off and that fallout is going to ripple through the team. I get the impression that Gerrard is someone who will be like marmite on the training ground, you're either one of his mates or you absolutely despise him. Rumour has it that his compensation would be upwards of £1m. I know that that's pennies to Premier League clubs, but with the rumoured FFP situation that Leicester are in I do think that they're somehow holding out for him walking - which is never going to happen. Rodgers is absolutely disinterested with Leicester though, I know a few Leicester fans and they (like Villa) have completely turned on their manager. It's got a bit toxic down there to be honest.

Utter cunt.

Christian Eriksen has always been an outstanding player, he would have been an unbelievable coup had we signed him. No surprise that United suddenly look lethal going forward now that he's started to find his feet with them, a truly magical player.

Apparently his agent said that he had a nice club lined up, and here we are.

I'm repeating myself again here but the introduction of VAR has just proved how corrupt the English game is. It was always up for interpretation when it was just the referee, however now it's in black and white the amount of favouritism and bias behind decisions. It's actually killed a lot of my love for football, as it feels as though there's Everton against a multi-billion corporation as opposed to 11 players.

Flew out on holiday this morning, was actually pleased it was on derby day as I hate them. I'd have taken 0-0 before KO, so will take it at FT for sure. The old man was giving me updates and sounds as though we played really well, Gueye MOTM in his opinion, so hopefully a good second debut today from him!

Andre Marriner with a Liverpool shirt on under his refereeing kit the bad crab. Adds on 5 minutes for no fucking reason then opts to add on another three just for the shits and giggles. Eddie Howe should be decking the soft cunt in the tunnel, alongside half of the Liverpool bench for being such spine tingling irritants. Silver lining is that Liverpool aren't all that this season, will be comfortably 2nd or 3rd but they're absolutely miles off Manchester City.

Surely Ajax are on the verge of putting a bid in for the Moon considering the amount of money they've brought in this summer.

Very good at the back, as in, very, very good. Shite going forward but hopefully that'll right itself when DCL comes back or we have Maupay to at least aim for. Turning defeats into draws isn't going to win us the league, but it might keep us in it. As someone who has firmly accepted what this season will be, I'll take the point and move on.

Can't wait for him to sign somewhere so I can stop flipping my lid seeing his name linked with us. Pop off to Grimsby, traitor.

Criminal that he's been allowed to tap in from inside the six yard box unmarked. All of that great defensive work gone in an instant, Iwobi should do better.

Finished like a prime Neal Maupay.

I fucking despair.

Not too happy with a loan deal, given that it's to a Turkish club and they always seem to be quite slippery when it comes to negotiating. I'd rather they just took him permenantly to be honest, as I doubt the loan fee is anything to write home about. Assume Dele's wages (or part of) will be given to Gueye.

Saw a lad at the Chelsea game with a this season's shirt and "Dele 36" on the back. What a mare he's had, first getting his number wrong and then him getting off to Besiktas

I doubt Gordon is pushing for the move, however if we get into the £50-£60m territory I'd be happy to sell just as it allows us to reinvest, regardless of the potential Gordon has. Would absolutely make me want to cut my bollocks off if Ross Barkley was somehow included in the deal though.
