    I have no idea why that song is taken as the English being arrogant or whatever. If anything it’s just tongue in cheek and having a laugh.

    I hope no-one involved in the discussions is reading these pages. It sounds like we're all too willing to sell him, which would undermine our bargaining position and lower any price. The truth of the matter is...

    "Kean is one of the brightest young prospects in Europe right now, proving himself to be a successful starter and goalscorer at a Champions League team. This makes him one of Everton's most prized assets and, with years remaining on his contract, a linchpin in the club's plans. To wrench such a talented player away from Everton won't be easy and will require the right price."

    He’s a knob but I agree. It’s been bad enough other Evertonians telling us how we should feel, let alone them lot!

    Except that it's not really about the health of those refusing the vaccine: It's about the health of vulnerable people around them whom they may infect. To me, this has always been the issue: If someone is happy with getting sick, fine; however, the issue doesn't stop there. We ought to be considering the welfare of neighbors as much as our own.

    I think they've shit the bed and gone with a manager they know won't walk away from us like Ancelotti did. 
    I'm thinking we've got him for at least two years until Brands has got the squad built.

    I'm assuming you can still carry it and pass it to others?

    This is what I’m hoping. Prove them wrong by showing he can be brilliant in the Premier League.

    Yes, plus the vaccine is not 100% effective - although it does reduce the severity if you do contract one of the variants.

    “I fought there, right? I was arguing all day with Everton, with the manager,” UOL report him saying to ESPN after the 1-0 win against Chile.
    “I also called the new coach. It’s very important for me to get this experience, to get more maturity because it will be important for me.
     
    I read this as he'd talked with Ancelotti and after Wednesday spoke to Rafa.

    To be fair to Sam Allardyce, the best side he has managed was the Bolton side he created. 
    Benitez's early days were mixed.
    Early coaching
    The first attempts by Benítez at senior management away from the Real Madrid fold were less than successful. He was appointed manager of Real Valladolid for the 1995–96 season, but was dismissed after only two wins in 23 games with the club bottom of La Liga. During the 1996–97 season, Benítez took charge at Osasuna in the Segunda División, but after only nine games and one win, he was dismissed. He did, however, meet the fitness instructor Pako Ayestarán at the club, and went on to form a partnership with him at several clubs for the next decade. In 1997, he joined another Segunda División side, Extremadura, and this time led them to promotion, finishing second in the table behind Alavés after winning 23 out of 42 games. Extremadura only survived one season in La Liga, however, and were relegated in 1999 after finishing 17th and losing a play-off to Rayo Vallecano.[4]
    Benítez subsequently quit Extremadura and took a year off from football to study in England and Italy. He also worked as a commentator/analyst for Eurosport, Marca, El Mundo and local Madrid TV. In 2000, he was appointed manager of Tenerife of the Segunda División and with a team that included Mista, Curro Torres and Luis García, he gained promotion to La Liga by finishing third in the league behind Sevilla and Real Betis.[4]
    He then managed to get the Valencia gig, a team that got to the Champions League final the two years prior.
    I am not saying that Allardyce would have won anything with a quality squad but he has never had the chance. Benitez got his and to his credit he took it with both hands.
    Apparently he fell out with John Terry at Chelsea as he kept referring to Liverpool as "we"!

    Spot on. Remove the rose-colored glasses, and England has been average at best - but with a top-notch goalkeeper.

    Friend is Polish and had swapped to England for the rest of the tournament. 20 minutes into the game said it's like watching Poland, England are shit.
    England won, but it was more down to Germany not being clinical enough. That first half was piss poor and Germany could have easily had the game won. 
    Personally was only arsed about Pickford, so not that bias either way. That said if you're keeper is your best player it tends to mean the outfield haven't been that good.

    Newcastle fans are hardly known for their football knowledge. 
    Since him managing Newcastle in the championship nearly every club above them has changed manager, add all the top leagues in Europe as well. Yet no one touched him. Why?
    He's a multimillionaire, the extra ££ in China wouldn't make a difference to him.
    If he was so good why did Chelsea get rid? Likewise Madrid, Inter. All less than a year!
    He's declined from his peak since 2005. You disagree? Champions League to championship and China.
