Some of the comments at the start of this thread are golden...! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Just wait for the Tonda thread to ignite. That is going to be epic!

At a time football represented an annoyance, Larin put pen to paper and gave me the first glimpse of something other than spygate. Watching him scoring at the WC has really helped suck me back in. And for that, I'm grateful. Really looking forward to this guy next season.

I don't like the tight offside calls, but that was a tight offside that had it been looked at would have been ruled offside. Laughable.

I've got a bad feeling about this. Defeat incoming.

The can of worms they opened is about to stink the place out. Watch more come out the woodwork over the coming weeks. The greedy suits have created a new, lucrative battleground.

So VAR helps him clear up a mistake and he doubles down. So lets cut out the middle man and just go back to shit refs. Fuck var.

I trust Archer more. And I'm still not convinced he'll be anywhere near consistent. Don't be clouded by sentiment, Downs will not cut it in the Championship. Please let us not waste half a season confirming this fact.

Has someone been annoyed about the pronunciation for fifty years? That's what I want to know.

Belgium have too much to not have an eventual break-through. Doku still gives me nightmares.

Everything clicked for Sweden, that really could not have gone any better. Gykores and Isak look very sharp. Bodes well for Potter.

Over a three year period. David Connolly p61 gs14 Ross Stewart p40 gs9 Now I get why he was called Loch ness Drogba. Rarely seen. I think we are going to be okay.

There's something rather civilised about watching the WC at 5am. Before the world wakes, and obligations kick in.

Anyone hoping he gets injured needs to give their head a wobble. But fans speculating whether a player with a terrible injury record, gets injured at a world cup while not attached to a club is just normal. I think he has made a terribly risky decision. I hope for his sake it pans out okay.

This definitely requires a rebuttal. He scored 3 goals for WHU and was largely missing for the first half of the season. He scored two for us the previous season, and although he was a stand out player, we were very shit! A couple great goals does not make him an exceptional player. Only consistency will make him a top talent. He now has two consecutive relegations on his CV. (just shows he made the right move?????) And now he's linked with Utd which makes him a top player? I think the boy has great potential, but needs to make better career decisions (whu seemed like a daft move at the time), and certainly is not worth the hype fee being touted. Side note. I hope he goes for a top fee, because we benefit from it, but it will not be £80M.

Good player, potential to be worth that money, but how is that a real fee for last seasons performance. Also add in WHU's current situation. He'll leave for nearer 60m.

Everton were charged for one PSR rule break in the season ending 2022, that resulted in a ten point deduction (later appealed to six) and then subsequently a ruling that awards Burnley damages of £35M that Everton are liable for. So the precedent is sent. We now have a format to follow. So what is the punishment for this? • 54x Failure to provide accurate financial information 2009-10 to 2017-18. • 14x Failure to provide accurate details for player and manager payments from 2009-10 to 2017-18. • 5x Failure to comply with Uefa's rules including Financial Fair Play (FFP) 2013-14 to 2017-18. • 7x Breaching Premier League's PSR rules 2015-16 to 2017-18. • 35x Failure to co-operate with Premier League investigations December 2018 - Feb 2023. Either they are found not guilty. Which is the get out they are all looking for, no doubt about it. Or they are getting multiple relegations and unlimited fines, plus lawsuits from injured parties. They really should have left Everton alone this time. What a mess.

If Man City are found guilty, then everyone has a claim, right? That is how this works now.

Christ, Boro are a sanctimonious bitter little club. Absolutely dining out on Robs carcass now. Who's next.......

My goodness. This is appallingly bad. L2 standard, with less intensity.

Morocco v Brazil highlights worth a watch. Comedy goalkeeping. Reminds me of a team in the not too distant past.

I'm personally really looking forward to seeing Jack back in the shirt next season. What a great resurgence he had last season. If we keep our defence together this summer, we are going to be tough to score against in the new campaign.

Sentimental signings do not correlate with our new bad boy image. Its a no from me.

Bloated amount of teams. Price gauging. USA/Iran conflict. Yeah, not expecting much. Hoping England can turn it on and suck us in.........in the middle of the night. lol

This is a very low hype tournament. Never known it to be so flat. Even Qatar had a little buzz of anticipation.

This is the first transfer window in years where I'm more invested in who we retain, rather than who we sign. Really grown to like this group of players.
