I wouldn't be so certain about that. Did you not see how fucking abysmal they were against Leeds on Monday night?

Are you looking forward to losing the first game at Big Dick Dock on Sunday?

So does this signing mean we can finally ditch the awful 3 CB formation and play a regular back 4? Thank fook for that.

Bree is returning to training next week according to Still in today's presser. I'm much happier keeping him as backup than Suga.

Bree has been injured.

Insane!

Am I imagining this or did Russ once admit that he often didn't even bother watching and doing his homework on our upcoming opponents?

It's been superseded.

At this point, calling them 'settlers' just seems like a deliberate piss-take.

I would love to see AMN go there and just jog about looking lost like he did for us.

Is that not exactly what we're doing with Dibling though?

Not gonna stop you from trying though eh?

Was a common occurrence during his time with us. Leicester's injury time winner at SMS last season springs to mind. Our defending of corners in general under his coaching was fucking abysmal.

No idea if it's genuine but if so it might explain why he's been so utterly useless tonight. Just jogging around ineffectually in the middle of the park and having no impact on the game whatsoever.

Can see why it was given, and I didn't think VAR would find a good enough reason to overturn it. It's because he leaned into it and was never going to make contact with anything other than his arm. Fair result overall. As much as I dislike Leeds, I'm always happy to see Everton lose.

He's done literally nothing since coming on.

Indeed. Best just pray nobody tries to bring bad cheese jokes into it as well, cos that would be the wurst kase scenario.

Leeds showing how to make a good fist of it on their return to the PL. Totally dominating Everton so far. OK Everton have been every bit as shite as expected but Leeds are properly going for it and looking dangerous.

Interesting stuff. I can't wait to see how he's gonna spin that when he tries to convince Ukraine to accept the Russian gains. No doubt he'll deny any knowledge of it, and it's highly likely that he genuinely doesn't remember signing this into law.

No ref is going to award a penalty for an off the ball incident when the keeper is in possession. And rightly so, because a penalty is far too big a reward in a situation where the attacker didn't even have the ball. It's a weird one though because it was clearly a deliberate foul/obstruction, so the Ipswich player should have been penalised somehow.

Yeah, about that... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1dxq12rvkqo.amp Looks like those poor lads might need to find other ways of doing the laundry to supplement their meagre income.

Oh sorry, I thought this was the Lounge not the Muppet Show. I just don't find drought a particularly funny subject, given the challenges it has created this year and will continue to create if conditions don't improve. I doubt you'll be posting laughing emojis about it either when further non-essential use bans are implemented (which they will be) and food prices rise markedly because of crop shortages.
