Approved a Newcastle takeover by a Saudi Government Investment fund. Yet rumour has it not approving 777. Hmmmmmmmmm!
1.) 14 Jan 2024 11:53:47
Regardless of the politics, the Saudi Investment fund can prove they can sustain a premier league football team. Can 777?

Good point JB.
3.) 14 Jan 2024 13:33:01
But you cannot disregard politics in that regard. Fit and proper? Usmanov didn't invade Ukraine yet he is being held to account. Saudi Human Rights record is appalling yet they are deemed okay! Why is that, Politics.

They shouldn’t have perhaps, but they did. So you can.

I think VAR has to be paused while they get a panel of ex professional players together to staff it. This season more than any other the decisions are bizzare. The game is being ruined by decisions being taken off the pitch. On the pitch, Referees may as well not be there.

What did Ange say about Dier very robustly to a journalist 36 hours before he signs for Munich? Seeing is believing and we will go with what we have when the window shuts. I wouldn't believe a word any boss says.

That wasn't the post I replied to?

Blue 5050, you make a good point there about pausing VAR and getting ex professional players in to staff it. We’ve got too many chiefs meddling in it, one ref on the pitch making real time decisions and one elsewhere having advantage of several views of incidents. The integrity of the on and off field refs comes into question with so many getting it wrong. Majority of fans will accept an on field decision, may not like it but will accept it and it should be left at that. If VAR is to have the final say then any conversations between the refs should be made public. I don’t like it.
I watched the Burnley v Luton game on Friday evening. Luton were awarded a late equaliser. It went to VAR and they awarded a goal when it was plainly obvious the Burnley goalkeeper was impeded by a Luton player, not initially obvious but definitely fouled.

Brian21. I'm with you on this. First game of the season didn't we have a goal disallowed when Tarks was impeded by the keeper and fumbled it. Yet the powers that be in VAR deemed that Tarks was at fault even though he did nothing wrong. Yet the Luton goal is allowed despite the player clearly impeding the keeper. Its obviously a rubbish system. Nobody knows when they are allowed intervene and when they aren't, seems like they make up new rules each week to protect themselves. Obvious and clear error, it's a joke. Gomez tackle in the spurs game, ignored by ref and linesman, VAR interfer. DCL challenge, ignored by ref then VAR interfer. Neither were clear and obvious errors. I can't remember a week that goes by that we aren't all giving out about it. On another note, how can the system be used in some FA Cup matches bit not others. It should be used in them all or in none. If DCL challenge happened on a lower league team there would have been no VAR to review it. It just makes no sense.

Putting ex players in charge of VAR wouldn't necessarily make it any better. You only have to listen to the rubbish some of them spout as pundits.

Is it too big a stretch to say that all our problems began when Moshri came in! Further, the inability to replace Moyes. Here is hoping for a much better, fingers crossed, lucky 2024.
09 Dec 2023 15:21:48
Who else thinks the Burnley game is becoming a 6 pointer.
1.) 09 Dec 2023 16:27:52
I do. And it applies to everyone below us as the points difference is so small. I actually think the Chelsea game tomorrow is massive. That could be 9 points from the last three games. And very tricky ones at that.
2.) 09 Dec 2023 22:01:42
Yep and so is every game won’t be easy but think we will do it and stay up.
3.) 10 Dec 2023 09:53:02
Probably not going to happen ( loss of face etc! ) but be one heck of a boost if the appeal gives us two games back.
01 Dec 2023 20:33:04
Huge game tomorrow, absolutely huge.
Brentford v Luton *5 points ahead*, Burnley v Sheff Utd. Then us! Hopefully at the very least status quo.
{Ed025's Note - i would take a draw 5050 but obviously want a win, Forest are a decent side and very hard working so anything positive would be a great result mate..
1.) 01 Dec 2023 20:53:13
I'd take a draw normally Ed but Forest in poor run of form 1 win in 9, they are there for the taking cooper under pressure.
Fancy us to nick it 1 or 2 nil.
??.
{Ed025's Note - i hope your right Mocker mate, but i feel we do need better discipline because a few of the guys are on the brink with yellow cards, Doucoure especially who picked up a stupid one for arguing about a decision that got given in our favour last week ffs..
2.) 01 Dec 2023 21:00:03
Scared mate, even at home games I close my eyes.
3.) 02 Dec 2023 09:48:26
Hard place to go to and get a win, but they have lost the last two games so it’s there for the taking so come on blues heads up and let get that win.
4.) 02 Dec 2023 10:58:33
Doucoure should of kept quite agreed but the ref should of booked gnacho for booting the ball away which is what Doucoure was telling the ref. petty I know and are player got booked instead typical. I reckon plenty of goals today 4.2 for us. so will probably be 1.1 lol. hope young isn't starting because elmanga will rip him to bits like all the other wingers have done this season. COYB.

Granted I/ we/ some are ignorant of FFP but if Everton as a business are in debt and if the rich owner wished to pay it off, what stops him?
09 Jan 2024 09:46:20
For Clubs (Media) to say they are in talks with Onana (agent (s) ) , surely he is under contract and would need Evertons' permission. As for we should be insisting on a higher fee. As Ed says, we have already lost a paddle and really need to do all we can to keep the boat upright.
02 Jan 2024 13:40:42
Didn't know that FBS. I know they won the xmas chart race.
01 Jan 2024 13:56:37
All this rumour of us getting this lad or that lad is just that. Loans (on small wages) and freebies is just that. Everton are still in deep brown stuff and my opinion will need to sell a couple of players of value.
23 Dec 2023 19:13:29
I like what Klopp and the Aussie guy said. They don't want it. But they are not the money grabbers,
16 Jan 2024 08:58:41
More a case of on good wages and still under contract Bluenose. Thelwell may well be trying but nobody willing to pay up.
16 Jan 2024 08:51:56
WoburnB Think he means a reset. This carries on (prem are not giving any breathing space) we are certain to get relegated.
16 Jan 2024 08:26:38
Was thinking the same mate. To old now but used to be involved at amateur/ semi pro level, at least I can get back to following it, get back to enjoying football and talking about football.
16 Jan 2024 08:22:14
It is absolutely mind blowing how a supposedly very rich business person can be so inept as to not see how 90 percent of income spent on wages is not sustainable. I also fail to see what game the Prem are playing, what does it achieve other than driving a Club to the wall. Everton are inept but they are trying to reduce their liabilities albeit not fast enough. What good does pulling the rug do! Can only speculate that this new Prem toughness started when HMG proposed an independent regulator.
15 Jan 2024 16:50:39
I am going back to amateur and semi-pro the enjoyment has been sucked out.
