In regards to the comment above referencing the time MLT got suckered in by that penniless guy back in 2009, yes, that's an example of sorts however didn't we all get suckered in a bit by that? He must have had something about him since Keegan (would be manager) and Strachen (would be DOF) had basically agreed their respective roles under this fictional new hierarchy according to reports. Also I seem to remember Lawrie saying that he'd met with this guy and really liked him? --------------------------------------------------------------------- We were mere hours from going out of business. I was clinging to anything and everything. Anyone using this as a stick to beat MLT with didn't go through the same trauma as me. I thought we were gone in those last days. Markus finding us was a godsend, but we didn't know that at the time. Matt was fighting for his club. Anyone who thinks it was something else is wrong. And concerning his latest views of all things of this world, I find not getting breaking news stories from sportsmen and celebrities limits the damage to ones mind. Stop tuning in, leave your memories intact, it will be healthier in the long run.

The thing I find strange about Frank is just how many protectors he has in the media. I listen to talk sport quite a bit, and they seem to give him a hard pass. Most of the match day callers fail to blame him as well. 'The problems were already there.' Seems to be the fav line. But for me, he is the biggest problem. When he took that job, he knew the situation. When you go into an environment like that you have to have a plan. You have to organise, coach and recruit. All I've seen him do is flip flop his blame after each defeat. He doesn't seem to learn. He really offers very little. No defensive organisation, no identity, no structure. I honestly think they could have picked anyone from their original list, and they would have done better than him. I just hope he has now done enough damage that it ends in relegation. If ever there was a club who deserved a wake up call, its Everton.

Its hard to guess what Chelsea we will face at the weekend, but I'd rather meet them with their momentum in the gutter than on a high. Those two defeats have already set some records for them, lets hope we can extent the timeline. Not a bad time for Broja to get a rest in all honesty, be good to have him back recharged for the Arsenal game.

I'd just like to say a big thank you to Burnley for injecting the remainder of the season with some much needed excitement. I thought the bottom teams were all going to lose their way to the final game, but lasts night result will surely have just put a rocket up all of their arses! Lets hope Burnley win the next one to really ramp up the pressure on Everton. To add to the hilarity, they will sack Frank as soon as they dip beneath the line. We weren't allowed Newcastle, but Everton is still on the table.

Hoping tonight's game is tight, and a big distraction for Chelsea. We owe them for that last game.

I'm not seeing much of a discussion. A fair bit of name calling though. Carry on........

Plenty of of football forums have failed because of threads like this one. Political stuff seeps into everything. There will be no coming together, no resolution. I suggest binning this and sticking to falling out over football disagreements. Seriously, this crap is a massive turn off to a lot of people. And even if they avoid this thread, they will feel its damage on other ones.

Absolute legend! His views on covid and the world order have helped me through the last two years. Oh, and he was a decent player as well........

That's the Toon I've been expecting for three months. Still, better late than never.

What a massive clown icon that boy is! lol

Woman's football has become like coronavirus over the last couple years. Nobody wants it, but its fucking everywhere......

Our flip flops need re-studding.

I clearly remember the day they voted for this Qatar WC. When All the brown envelopes were delivered, and everyone smiled. Fuck fixing it. I'd rather laugh at its failure.

British, rather than English. I'd rather expell Swansea and Cardiff than conform to that shit. EPL all day long......

Tentatively checking on here this morning to see if the 5 sub BS was a April Fool. Damn. Hot damn.

Not being funny, but the managers should have no say in this. Many of them won't be at their club in 18 months time, and this change is permanent.

Welcome to the four hour match day experience! Please, open your match day brochure so we can get started. Some bullshit fireworks, followed by our mark of respect for world events, a one minute silence. Players kneel, kick off. Obligatory crowd emergency. VAR checks, Six subs stoppages. Tactical water break, some moron chaining them self to the goal post. Fake concussion 7th sub. One minute clap for St Johns Ambulance. Buy some shit before you leave the stadium, thank you customer. Where is the game going. Its barely recognisable mow.

JWP has been the best player out there so far.

I'll wait for the grainy camera phone footage outside the hotel in the new forest before I believe this.

I understand its easier to not dislike an opponent who loses a lot, but this season I have garnered a fair bit of respect for Leeds Utd. The way they set up to play, to have their own identity. Even when they were decimated by injuries and bad luck. Then when the covid BS excuses started, they just carried on under Bielsa. Compared to a large percentage of the other teams that make up the Premier League today, I have to say, I commend Leeds for standing tall. Now...................lets batter the buggers! uts

Unbelievable. Do they want us to lose all faith in var? Its already subjective BS without putting this guy in the decision room. Utter madness. Perhaps he'll reach his magic number three hundred red cards after all.

I love it when a sensible conversation breaks out amongst the BS. Informative as well. Good job. Poor sue, perhaps if everyone wasn't on ignore.......

I just don't understand why Football is the sandwich board for all the worlds problems. Why are we the target demographic? And its not like football is squeaky clean. From Blatter/FIFA to dodgy owners, there's scandals everywhere. Can't we palm this crap off to lets say Cricket?

I don't want anymore messages on the pitch. Stick it on twitter. Its a sport, not a political arena. Not a virtue signalling canvas. We pay for the spectacle, not some suits opinion of what we should be doing in our lives. Or can we have a minutes silence on behalf of how much I paid for a tank of diesel today......maybe that will catch on. Bin it all off. But, we all know they will do that a week before the Qatar WC starts won't they! Corrupt bullshit.

A mexican wave. So glad I'm watching F1. Even with multiple red flags I know its better than that shite......
