    FA statement on Haaland;   "An inquiry into the unacceptable conduct by Erling Haaland in the 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur has been held. Following remonstrations with referee Simon Hooper, the Manchester City player subsequently tweeted 'Wtf' in response to a video of the passage of play. The FA take such actions extremely seriously and have thus decided to dock Everton 5 points"   Merseyside VS Manchester Banter Page | Facebook   Thought that was very funny!

    Sorry, but I just can't let this pass. Remember when we had one of the top 30 best strikers of the past decade - better than van Persie, Robben, Torres, Giroud, and Falcao?  (He's ranked #26.)

    I was disappointed with Beto as well, but we'll see a big change in him once he bags a couple of goals. It's clear he's a confidence player: that's the issue right now, not lack of ability.

    I really can't see much point in getting disheartened by Beto just yet. He really has only had limited minutes in a new team, new league and new country all very stop start for him. However, I would much rather him being in this squad as the back up striker over Maupy. Like all strikers a goal or two does your game wonders, and in the grand scheme of things he has had limited opertunities to bag them.
    Great to see McNeil get on the score sheet and in with a couple of great chances. Again, a few have been critical of his offensive play thus far, lets see what a goal now does for his confidence in the final third. You could see how much he enjoyed that.
    Not our best performance of the season, but another clean sheet and another 3 points. Points on the board single most important thing at the moment.
    I was a important win after the 3-0 home defeat to Man U,  it really helps keep that positive momentum around the squad.

    Massive result - not just for the points on the board but the morale.

    Wyness talks a lot of sense especially with the wages cap, of course this would have to implemented by all governing bodies within football. It would be harder to flout the rules if implemented because no matter how many bogus deals you make to improve your income and spending, your spending on wages will be capped as a team. I think we all agree money and greed is ruining the game and the top clubs will always remain the top clubs due to their spending power, if we want a system that works this has to be the way forward if we ever want to seriously eradicate the false accounting of the big clubs and create a system that will be more of an even playing field than the one we have now then a spending cap has to be the way forward.

    Nicely written article. The point (IAN HERBERT: The goalposts moved in Everton's case...that's why punishment is so unfair | Daily Mail Online) brings up about 'moving the goalposts' regarding the interest on loans is absolutely critical. I think our appeal lawyers will do better to focus on points of law rather than merely pleading against the severity of the sentence. Seems to me the PL have acted disingenuously as well as disproportionately and we should be going after them. The arbitrary imposition of the sentence mid-season also punishes the club, affecting morale and performance. I hope for an excoriating attack on the PL in our appeal with whatever legal action taken against them if they are indeed acting mala fides, in bad faith.

    This is the problem, not Dyche’s team selections or in game management

    Some people seem to get way too excited when we lose or win
    United are still a very good side and I thought the scoreline more than flattered them. We were by far the better side first half
    Overall we had more possession, more than twice as many shots, had two off the line and Myko hit the bar so I personally thought we were unlucky not to get something from the game
    Obviously Dyche is not above  criticism and it does baffle me why he sticks with Young but he must see something in training that makes him not trust Patterson
    So like all managers he does have his faults but I still think he is doing a very good job under extreme circumstances and I honestly can’t think of anyone I would replace him with at the moment

    Government doesn't accumulate wealth for itself though which is a big difference, they just take in funds be it via taxation or whatever else, then they decide what to spend it on based on what they (rightly or wrongly) think needs it.
    Charles seems to be lining his own pockets.

    I remember when several of you gave me flak for claiming the Royals benefit from the assets of those in the Duchy of Cornwall who die intestate. "But it all goes to charity", you wrote. "The Royals wouldn't do anything as greedy and unconscionable as benefiting from the death of others", you wrote.
    Surprise! "We've been lied to. Moneys we all thought were going to charity have instead been used to improve properties owned by the duchy, increasing the income stream that flows from them into Charles's pockets."

    Or maybe put Young in the boot and drive him out into the forest and leave him there.

    You mean the old Everton! The new Everton are made of sterner stuff! The mental toughness will be tested and the referee will undoubtedly favour United - but I think the crowd will give us the extra 10% and we get the win.

    Disappointing to see I'm still below average in every category  - a point my good wife makes clear to me - so I shall go with:
    Everton 3-1 Manchester United
    DCL
    and hope for a, er, good performance.
