• I have just watched the 25 minute highlights of Brighton v Arsenal. I don’t like Arsenal because they give fouls away in the oppositions half to stop counter attacks. Rice is probably the main offender - he is the master of the sneaky ankle tap. So it was with great delight and admiration that I watched them tear Arsenal apart with beautiful attacking football. ...

• Darren 46. I think the irony here is that your response to Steve rather neatly demonstrates the very thing you insist doesn’t exist: an agenda against Moyes.rnrnHaving an agenda doesn’t mean your criticisms are necessarily baseless, and I’m not suggesting they are. You clearly know the history, can produce examples and are perfectly entitled to dislike his management. But when virtually every event is interpreted in the most negative possible way, while anything positive is qualified, dismissed or attributed to somebody else, it’s difficult to maintain that there isn’t an underlying agenda.rnrnThe fact that you can support individual criticisms with facts or quotes doesn’t somehow prove you have no agenda. Someone can have a very strong pre-existing view and still select genuine facts to support it.rnrnAnd I think that’s the bit you’re missing. You’re so convinced that you’re simply presenting objective facts that you don’t seem to recognise how heavil...
  Andy Walker in ‘Devilment’ might finally mean Dibling has cracked it at Everton
• Mark, they\'ve failed at management, which isn\'t the same as coaching.rnrnColin Harvey & Alan Irvine failed at management, that doesn\'t make them poor coaches. It highlights that they just don't have the skill or personality to do a very different job.rnrnI wouldn\'t look too much into what coaches say on tv. Wegner never saw a penalty in his whole life either, they all come out with crap when they can\'t be arsed communicating. I am sure they would know the reasons if pound notes were put on the table.rnrnThere are core reasons why some players score and some players go to pieces in the box. These are mental and technical, and with a good player, & the right support, both can be improved upon by unpicking the problems. rnrnIt is our most glaring issues, and with a young side something that needs to be fixed. There is a reason why more experienced players are usually more productive, but we cant be waiting 5 years for the penny to drop.rnrnr...

• It\'s very rare for an England squad to contain 3 Everton players so good luck to all of them but defence was definitely the weak link over the summer so this is Jarrad\'s chance to grab....
