Everton and Crystal Palace charged by FA over melee
Everton and Crystal Palace have been charged by the Football Association for allegedly failing to ensure 'their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion' last weekend.
The incident occurred in the 68th minute of the Blues’ 3-0 win at Goodison Park. First, Marc Guehi went through the back of Dominic Calvert-Lewin before Wilfried Zaha appeared to elbow Anthony Gordon in the back of the head seconds later.
An unseemly on-field melée then ensued with both sets of players going at it for a couple of minutes. Referee Simon Hooper then showed yellow cards to Guehi, Zaha, Tarkowski and Schlupp when things had finally calmed down.
Both clubs have until next Tuesday to provide their responses.

I tend to agree, but this time out we have seen Man Utd charged twice, Arsenal, Klopp, West Ham, Cooper, and now Everton and Palace, all charged by the FA in the past week. Someone in the finance department wants to raise cash...
This organisation is a disgrace. A law unto themselves. It's about time a club said No!

Man City were fined for their pitch invasion after winning the Premier League last season on the final day, 𧶼k I think it was.
Funny thing is though, the FA did not take any further action against Jordan Henderson after a confrontation between him and Gabriel of Arsenal. Now I don't know what the charge was for, but when I heard that a lip reader would be required, then I can only assume it was for some kind of racist comment by Henderson.
It's funny how the RS always seem to get away with more serious offences, such as bricking other teams' coaches, possible racist comments etc. No doubt Bingo will get the minimum fine possible for his outburst during the Man City game, and a suspended pitch side ban.
So yeah, you're right, they are Fuckers!

What a load of tosh. It's sport. We play it to win & sometimes lose our shit a bit.
Get on with it.

I see Klopp was fined but not banned. The Refs Association need to get onto the FA about it. When refs are leaving the game because of the abuse they get, this is not the example the FA should be setting.
Tell Klopp to give the 㿊,000 to EITC, that''ll teach him.
Hendo / Gabriel thing stinks. Just Like Firmino / Holgate spat, when Holgate told the ref Firmino had apparently used racist language. All hushed up and brushed away. Supporting Suarez by wearing tee-shirts. Not a nice club.

Meanwhile Klopp gets off with violently confronting an official by getting a fine identical to Lampard's 㿊k when he simply quietly told the truth – that visiting sides don't get penalties at Mordor no matter how blatantly obvious they are. And no ban for Klopp. No action against Henderson either. It stinks.
I said after Lampard's fine that we should go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport with a claim that the FA and PGMOL are failing to operate in a fair and unbiased manner. There's a huge and increasing body of evidence to show clear bias in favour of the Super League 6.

Stop whining, we sound like “them†but claim to be better than “them†(which we are).
Let's just let the club do our whining for us and not stoop to their ridiculous levels.

Everton get whacked all the time, when other clubs get a slap on the wrist, and yet The RS, consistently get away with cast-iron rule breeches, as do Man City.
The game's governance body and those that make these decisions – did they ever play or even understand football?
It's taking the piss, and they should be made accountable, but are Everton past the point of challenging such descisions as they are “by default†nailed-on, never to be overturned?

We are being penalised for the actions of the opposition and that whining gobshite Zaha who is seemingly blessed by the media.
But we stood up to them as a collective group and got in their faces. Tarkowski laughing at them. Quality. We got the result and an easy 3 points.
Unity and sticking together. Fight and spirit. More of that today, Everton.

Just waiting for confirmation, but I'm 99% certain that, when my radio alarm went off just now, I caught the tail end of an angel from the BBC informing us that the Klopps are going back at midnight tonight!

I was getting told that Henderson was supposedly calling an unnamed Arsenal player a rapist, so maybe that's why it's gone quiet?

He went into meltdown in his last season at Dortmund.
Get the popcorn out, but more importantly, let's get down to Fulham.

Just watched the after-match footage from last week.
Once again interesting to see Gueye and Onana dancing in front of the fans.
Last off the pitch.
Come on, Blue Boys. Spirit. Forever.
