Looking at the players who started today for Man. City. and Brighton- two English players out of the twenty two players— and people say the English premier league is the strongest in the world, it might be but there’s not many English players in it!

Brilliant faux pas by James Trafford hands Brentford a goal.Are you watching, Thomas Tuchel?

Everton are in trouble, no doubt about it. It’s not Moyes or the majority of the players. it is the limited squad size,the disruption at boardroom level and the lack of interest that TFG are showing in the club. The writing on the wall suggests TFG will leave Moyes high and dry because they won’t buy in the January transfer market. I am worried they might even sell to grab some more cash ie sell anyone who is of interest to other clubs I think, branthwaite, garner, tarks, even Pickford. TFG have realised uefa won’t allow clubs with joint ownership to play in same comp and as a result have lost interest in Everton. The more they can grab now means more cash in the bank… very sad..

What a terrific effort by Bmuemo that hit the bar although the slightest of touches by the Chelsea ‘keeper did just enough to edge it on to the bar, as I said above when your lucks out you just don’t get the breaks.

Pita with another goal, he’s scored a few this season coming back after a long injury, well rated by a few Everton fans.

” lack of backup from his teammates” Do you mean like this, Everton vs Newcastle fight #football #footballnews (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZRaP1iiF_2E)

9 for Tarkowski???What does he have to do to get a 10?

Yes very silly particularly after not long been given a yellow card— looks like when your lucks out you don’t get the breaks!

What i like about hackney, is the runs past the centre forward. It has been my bug bear for years, that the midfielders lack the physicality to mske those unselfish runs. Doucoure wasnt a world beater, but he would do it.

Man Utd won’t move on until Man Utd’s old guard – Martinez, Maguire, Shaw, Dalot, and Fernandes – are show the door.

No Nsangou in the team — Has playing youngsters gone to Moyes head and he’s in the squad for Monday nights game at Newcastle?

Says the man who also wrote off Ademola Lookman. It is impressive that one person can be so completely wrong on all topics relating to a club he is supposed to support.

Daft there by Martinez, not looking at the ball, eyes on the defender, jumping with a forearm smash, second yellow, penalty to Chelsea, converted forcefully by Palmer.Big trouble for Carrick now… 0-2 and a man down.

From the match stats, it looks like the young blues are dominating this: 14 shots, 6 on, vs 1 shot, off-target, from the skunkettes.

Hackney, KDH and Garner. The new ” Holy trinity ” ? Must admit, they look good together. Let’s hope all three start on Monday

We learned that…according to Moyes, as far as I can gather…Hackney did ‘ok’ in the cup game, but still needs to get better for the Premier LeagueWe’re playing the SAME TEAM you barmy fucker.

Great counter-attack by Man Utd but Bruno messes up badly after being played in by Mbuemo.I reckon these so-called ‘elite’ buggers have a pre-match agreement to give eachother space to play and not be subject to tight agressive pressing so that they both can show off their footballing quality in a far more open game than we ever see. Hardly any wrestling at the corner, and the Mancs score.It’s a different game… until VAR intervene with their offside micrometer.

Not to the player Geoff — Do you think he’d play for Everton on £50, 000 a week — or any other club!

I am sure there are plenty who wanted to just stop. Ive no idea of jacks circumstances, but I know he was impacted by bereavement.Hopefully he can get past this issue. But Id think it is more complex than just a heavy unauthorised night out. If that is the case, id probably tone it down, to the level how you would expect to talk about your nearest & dearest.

No Michael I applied for that job but was told I looked too nice and kind to be a Grim Reaper so they hired an ugly looking bastard who just happened to be a Kopite!

I know it’s not Premier League but maybe we need to add a prediction block for this teaser:Will Dan Friedkin show up at Old Trafford next week when Man Utd are playing his beloved Roma in the Champions League?

Talking of them Red Devils, I’m just reading some nonsense claiming that Dan Friedkin could rock up at Old Trafford next week because Man Utd are playing Roma on Tuesday. The football in the Premier league seems to have become so poor in recent years, maybe i need ro bring back the Champions League feature anyway?

We haven’t all done that David. Everyone is paid for their ability, experience and presence. How much the individual is paid is absolutely irrelevant.

Chelsea v Man Utd on the telly, Dave. I can see you sitting there in yer Halloween cozzie, tapping away on that bleedin iPad of yours…Talking of scarry costumes and Man Utd, was that you dressed as the Grim Reaper for Moyes’s one and only visit to Goodison Park as their manager? Come ‘ed, spill the beans! Here’s hoping we can have that again soon…

Spot on Dave .

The best thing for Jack is to reinvent himself, again.Pick yourself up, dust yourself down and get on with being an athlete, an elite sportsman.No-one wants to see Jack disappear down a rabbit hole, he has to dig himself out of this straight away, he feels the love from the fans when he entertains them, that should be the best “lift” available for him, and give him true purpose, cmon Jack fella

I think it will be hard to get responses with Everton not playing until Monday and Liverpool playing tomorrow although If Unt. get beat early today you might get a few.

Every time Dave ,me too.My type of players.The 85 side got bevvied almost every week,as you well know, in the Chinese in Southport.We used to go to the Retro, a bar in Matthew Street in the week,afternoons,had a load of good days with the players.Just ordinairy lads,Andy Grey apart.He had an allergy to the barYou will remember the fights in The Upper Bullens the day Reidy got booed offThinking on,memory poor,the Retro may have been the 95 side.Remember Duncan dancing on The Griffs table

Darren why did he confess if it was obvious he was out of the game— I bet Peter and Howard went for a good few bevvies after training, that was the culture then— a lot different to 99% of the players today.

John if Grealish plays for us again he will be welcomed back onto the pitch with a tremendous roar when his name is announced, same as when the picture of Kenwright was flashed on the screen at Goodison, same as when Moyes was given a hero’s goodbye v WHU when he was “doing one” to United. Howard was different he could have wrote a book about benders and drinking sessions.Give me Tommy Wright who had a weekend bender after, stress after, we got beat by Liverpool in the semi final of the FA cup at Old Trafford.

Mark when he was seen absolutely palatic in Dubai it was during the football season maybe the week he couldn’t play because we were playing City. Someone I know went over to speak to him but his “ minders “ stopped and told him not to be spreading this news around. He told them he was a Blue and just wanted to make sure he was okay and he knew the score about gossip. I think it’s highly likely he’s had a few benders during the football season. They affect his performances — why do you think Pep and City unloaded a bag full of trouble.

I get what you are saying Derek — Pay him too much money to get him fit which he caused himself — over a million pounds a month – – and then he comes back again with his limited performances, give me a player like Hackney any day who is aching to get on the field and have a good go, makes mistakes which will improve the more he plays, on a reasonable wage and we can sell him on for a lot more than the £16M we bought him for. A lot more than we can expect from Grealish.

Beat me too it Darren.Reidy got booed at Goodison as well when his legs went.Disgusting then,disgusting now.

Peter Reid turned up for his FIRST training session absolutley bladdered. He confessed and appologised to his boss, but Howard forgave him. He was badly hungover too. The paragons of virtue are only prepared to overlook your indescretions if you win stuff.

You sound bevvied in your latest post Paul?

He was filmed drunk while being unfit to play Paul?Was that during the long term injury he had?I could understand the emotion if he was a week away from being fit,back in training and almost ready to play.I posted a few weeks ago i would prefer to play George and let him develop.IMO Grealish slows the play down too much,ideal for Moyes to be fair.We are a defensive team,our main goal threat is fast paced counter attacking,Jack doesn`t offer that.Its the pile on from the righteous that is out of order.

Most of all, in the current predicament we are in, we need reliable players/leaders not this fucking Grealish lottery. We should never have brought him back. Excessive smiling and happy face can sadly be camouflage. I have empathy for JG, but there is no way that he has helped us since he came back.I suspect that his drinking has increased after being effectively dumped by City or in the period while he was being dumped.Why the fuck in our long-term decline do we cling to once-beens – Gazza 😆 Ginola 😂 Williams 😩 Grealish 😩.We are paying weekly 270,000 for this pissed twat Grealish who is taking the piss out of us with the stadium box he probably grabbed on Amazon at 3-45AM when he was pissed. 😩.Get the fuck out of the club I love Grealish, but we’re trapped with you again until June 30.

JC first off now; second while being injured and erm representing our club he was twice filmed hammered. JC, is is okay for our walking wounded to get hammered – like, that’s ‘professional’ and will help their recovery and our standing..

The devils dandruff Mark.Terrible shout

Share it with us Paul?

Isnt a Brazilian fanny a baldy one?He laughed at Joelinton and Burns doubling up on him, i was more surprised at the lack of backup from his teammates.

Yes JC

“Beak”???

While he was playing for Everton Paul?

We have 18 outfield players, and only one of them has a Champions League and 3 League titles. But, he is costing us 300k a week. If he wants to extend his career he has to sort out his alcohol use, for himself, his family and the club.

Well, I assume he is a decent human being JC but I know and have irrefutable proof that JG can also be an unprofessional and unreliable pisshead.

MG alcohol related 100% mate. The record speaks for itself

Not necessarily, I added the whatever for just that purpose…and who don’t like a little bit of alliteration for effect, anyway nobody actually knows. But the physical consequences of physical substances can be treated, mitigated, but not cured that’s tied to the internal mental aspect – which is the real problem…or as somebody called it ‘the little voice in your head’.The one that tells you – right sunshine, we’re done here, you’ve had enough, off home for you. Most people have it – some don’t or if they do they ignore it.

Who gets dropped so Hackney starts?

When did he do something similar Brendan?
