• That's right Brian @ 51, it's also because when these spending rules came in those teams had squads worth considerably more valuable than us also rans and hence could trade players at a higher level than the rest of us. Plus they were also in the Champions League with more money coming in etc, etc. In other words all the advantages which make the comp. unfair but like you say clubs that you would think would have voted no stupidly didn't. The betting today is:- 5/2 Everton 1/1 Utd and 5/2 a Draw thems approx odds theres bigger in places. I think 5/2 is a little generous for us but they have some quality danger men in Cunha, Mbeumo, Fernandes etc, in fact on paper they look a very scary team. You would have to think we will have to score a couple of goals to get something out of the game. I was fancying our chances till I looked at their squad, now I'm not so sure....

Once we began to tire, he started getting the time and space to play, and by the end of that game, him and Harry Maguire both suddenly had that much energy they even started beginning to referee the game.Barry has got to stay up front and stand strong in every duel with Maguire, and Everton have got to try and condense the space all over the pitch. Don't give them time and space on the ball; otherwise, they'll have too much quality for us, especially once they win over the referee....

• Brian @51,It's blatant rigging of the Premier League, mate, they know we know but are not interested.How obvious is the rule that, if you start to progress towards the Sky favourites by qualifying for Europe, they reduce your spending capacity by 15% for the following season? Thereby halting your chances of catching the protected clubs. ...

• Hi old mate George @10rnrnNice to see you waxing lyrical.rnrnJust out of hospital after two weeks in. Hole in tum it turned out to be. Repaired itself without surgery but was not allowed any food or water for two weeks. Just fed nutrients through a drip. Not exactly Michelin star. rnrnIn the two weeks since discharge, I am knackered quickly each day. Quite common for a few weeks after hossy and no food. Ged Plan Diet.rnrnSo reading a lot recently and have taken a few trips down a blue memory lane. Think I have done this as feeling very disconnected from our club these days but hope we take back possession. rnrnAlways the optimist! rnrnStay well and best to Gosia.rnrnGed rnrnrn...
