    Our next manager?

    I am going to assume, by your username, that you may have also seen first hand what he was like at Barrow :). For the others, straight away he looked better than Barrow when he was our manager. Like with some players it was obvious that he had the potential to manage at a much higher level. I...

    2023/24 Ashley Young

    I am pretty sure the amount of times he has lost the ball is higher than the amount of times he has found a blue shirt. Can't go past players, can't cross without hitting the first man, can't pass, can't tackle. He has had a good career and nothing majorly against him (there was that time...

    The best in the business

    Question: Does Ferguson deserve to be on this list? My point being that some of the best coaches in the game fail at management level. Does not mean that they are failures, maybe it is because I never understood some people's hatred for him when he was here. He is a guy that always has his...

    2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

    Been saying for a while now, he needs one to go off his arse or something. Just to get that feeling back. He is not a bad player, more an instinctive finisher than composed, so my hope is that he just needs that 'lucky' goal to get, as mentioned, the feeling of scoring and then you hope the...

    Handball ref? Ref?

    My personal feel is that VAR taking too long only comes about when it is one of the favoured teams. I know not necessarily favoured but take the Villa offside. It was clearly not a goal on the first look for 2 separate obvious reasons. Yet it took an age, along with looking at the next phase of...

    VAR

    I agreed with Jamie Redknapp, this is what VAR has brought us. Agreement with that numpty. Joking aside, if we were to put up the 5 most ridiculous VAR moments, that would be up there. Maybe getting the right decision in the end would negate that but they had a natural line drawn for them. In...

    Football as We Know It Is Dying

    I concur with all of that. Lower down the pyramid is where it is at. Personally, I watch a lot more Rugby. If there was more League One & Two on the screen then I would also go to that. Watch Barrow through iFollow, but it is hard to know when a lower league game is on the box. Might start...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    Quick, find something to moan about, come on what can I come up with. Poor finishing, extremely poor refereeing. No, those are all too obvious, I know, how about a manager picking a side to win a football game, yep that will do it.

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    Maybe you are right but as I said there is more to it than a manger 'kicking off'. There have been managers who have been angry all the time, and calling out refs in an angry manner and nothing was done. I just don't see the point in being that angry and bursting blood vessels in front of a...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    We have looked OK, in relative terms, all season. It is the finishing that has let us down in a lot of games. For me, that is not 100% on the manager, if the managers tactics are getting us chances but the players are failing to get it on target then that is coaching to some degree, but not...

    2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

    I am a big fan of his but there is no doubt that there is just no confidence at the moment. It is the old cliche, he needs one to go in off his backside and then hopefully can hit a bit of form. I still there is application and effort there but maybe there is a fitness doubt, when you have had...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    I think this also has to do with the media. Last nights decision was the probably the first time an Everton decision (against) has got so many non Everton media people crying to the high heavens about the state of the game. It took one of the worst decisions on a football field to do it...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    Maybe the fact that he has a calm persona is the reason why he is doing a decent job here? Maybe why the players are on board with what he is doing? I prefer this persona, ranting angrily about officials and life in general is not pleasant viewing. I much prefer a manager who is calm under...

    VAR

    Football is even more officially a farce.
