I wish we were more like them. Those protests have really kicked the club into gear and got them tearing up the league table.

After beating Arsenal in his first game and following it up with a second win in three games, he now has one in his last eight. He’s just lost 3-1 at home to Fulham and this is from a manager everyone insists is gritty, hard to beat and grinds out results at home. He’s been there three months and Everton look sh*te, no improvement on Lampard at all. As for the OP, Ralph was never the problem, we just have too many crap players. Ralph had them playing greater than the sum of their parts and was at least in the relegation fight. With him gone, we’re just going to get what this squad deserves; basically losing every game.

Why does the on-field ref. need to check every decision? Complete waste of a minute checking that pen. for City.

Tw*ts, no doubt but I do think they have a point. The number of horses killed in the name of entertainment is unacceptable and the ‘tators just keep wheezing on about how nice their stables are.

If any of these players were running in The National, they'd be shot.

Everton have three home games left; Newcastle, City and Bournemouth. Surely, it's too funny to actually happen...

We should have got Dyche. He'd have us rock solid and well clear of the relegation zone, no way we'd be losing by two clear goals at home to mediocre midfield teams.

It’s 13 years ago today that the eruption of Ejfujfirrriefuloyullourerefooollferederrwseryylouedeueueloooo closed the entirety of European airspace for a couple of weeks.

If he does, he'll have to smuggle it in up his back passage and it'll be a bronze behind Hajto and Robertson, unfortunately.

It was probably the useless performance of Pellegrino in the same game that earned him a job as our manager.

Christ, is it really time for you to pretend not understand that again, already? The year just flies by…

No idea who this bloke is but I don’t think he needs any further discussion or air time.

Our defence was worse, 5 goals worse over the course of the season. We conceded 2 or more goals on 24 occasions and 3 or more on 8 occasions. There was nothing scandalous about it, our defence was dreadful and we deserved to go down.

All of which is no use if your defence is hopeless and you need said forwards to score two or three per game just to get a point. Claus, GLS and Dodd were past their best, the rest were mediocre in their prime and every game was just a tombola of defenders. Between Dodd, Kenton, Delap, Telfer, Cranie, Baird and Nilsson we had seven potential RBs on the books and not one of them put in a decent performance.

If you can’t wait to get rid of ‘tossers’ like JWP and want a ‘no nonsense’ manager, you have a serious case of be careful what you wish for. It’s very likely the former will leave and be replaced by someone no better than Diallo. As for a no nonsense manager, I can’t think of anyone who fits that description better than Jones; lump it forward to the big man.

Why?

Eh? Apart from the City game, they’ve only really got Newcastle to worry about. Their next highest placed opponent is Brighton (7th) at home.

Dyche is out of the drop zone on GD and has one win in seven. In fact I believe he is on the same points per game as Selles since both have been in charge.

And it’s pure, surreal, comedy gold. Absolutely radio rental.

Well, we won the cricket at least.

I fear Selles subs will be more Kursk than Red October.

I finally understand what people mean when they say Walcott helps to develop our younger players.

Nah, what's that special welding technique NASA use to attach the re-entry tiles onto the underside of a shuttle?

When the smart gantries have 40mph signs up for night roadworks, then the works just end and there's nothing to indicate a return to national speed limit. I was driving down the M3 a couple of months back and there was work being done around Lightwater. By the letter of the law, according to the (lack of) speed limit signs, I should have kept going at 40, all the way to the end of the variable speed limit at Hook.

I think it's great, until Villa scored a moment ago, Everton were in the drop zone.
