Not in the slightest. I can see myself being slightly less annoyed than usual if we don’t get a result against them, however…

Not that I want Liverpool to, far from it, but if Liverpool win the quadruple and Everton get relegated, Anfield will probably be empty next season, they’ll have nothing left to hope for As annoying as it would be for the rest of us anywhere within a three county radius of a Liverpool fan, imagine what it’d be like for Everton fans if that happens…

I can see Burnley being 5-8 points clear of Everton at the end of April out of that lot.

There’s the relegation thread too

And the Champion’s League tonight, if on here is anything to go by.

I swear being a Saints fan must come with an addiction to the drama of relegation battles

What a game!

Brentford game will definitely be one Everton are targeting, but it looks far more difficult since the Eriksen signing. He’s given Brentford a huge boost.

Give over, that’s still the position you’re taking up today.

So because Russia are being destructive and committing war crimes… you’re saying the answer to that is to give Russia everything they want and hope they’re content to stop there?

Ukraine are fighting for their home, and Russia are fighting for a lie. The only way this is over any time soon is if Russia gives up.

Can more or less throw form out the window for the Burnley Everton game, huge relegation 6 pointer.

Not too bad considering the players could easily have been on the beach, especially after conceding early.

Yeah, there are a few things propping it up at the moment, all export earnings in Russia are now required to be converted to roubles, there’s the ban on buying Euros or Dollars, and Putin’s threats to make gas sales Rouble only. Basically it’s still as worthless as it was before in the areas that sanctions have hit, and Russia is using the areas where it’s still used and leaning on them to artificially inflate the value on paper.

Both sides are losing materiel faster than they can replace it, but Ukraine actually has more tanks now than it started with, and weapons supply to Ukraine has been significant. The most important factor in this conflict has possibly been real time Western intelligence provided to Ukraine. That appears to have been a huge force multiplier, and will also allow Ukraine to make accurate decisions on how much of their defence they can redeploy if Russia do start to fall back in some areas.

Except that those objectives are anything other than secure, and it's already cost them more than they would have counted on. Russia have been sanctioned more than anyone would believe, NATO are stronger than ever (especially on Russia's borders), and Russia's military capability has been severely diminished, not only through loss of materiel, but perception of ability as well.

Indeed, he’ll have a chance, and he’s certainly not done any harm to that chance with his two caps.

He's unlucky that there's so many players already in front of him, he'll have to be absolutely immense AND have a couple of the players ahead of him fall off a bit for Southgate to make the decision to change the established players.

KWP almost too good there, no one else gambled on him being able to get that cross in

What a ball that was from KWP to Grealish in the build up to the penalty shout though

Think that'll be overturned...

Seems likely they’re using it as a fig leaf to cover a retreat from an area where they’re getting their arses handed to them.

Probably the end of Russia having any chance of controlling the whole of Ukraine, but that’s been looking less and less likely for a while now anyway.

It was those biolabs being used for weapons development that was classed as disinformation. That’s still the case.

So what makes him less trustworthy than Putin in your eyes?
