Just out on a run in Marbella and there he was sitting with the family in a restaurant by the beach. I felt like a proper divvy for interrupting but I had to tell him how much I appreciate what he's done for the club.
You hear about what a nice fella he is but I didn't expect him to invite me...
It's genuinely sad to see him making noises to stay now it's clear this is as good as it gets for him. We would be fools to keep a player that sees us a last resort.
Great at times today. Need these performances for the full 90 minutes. Possible that'll only come when our centre mids are good enough to control the game though.
Absolutely horrendous yet again. Usually this type of player puts a shift in defensively but the amount of times he got breezed past in the first half was shocking. Don't know how we've pulled off the second half of the season points tally with him in the team.
I slip into the odd phase of thinking he's not that bad but I have to remain strong and say it's a position we need to desperately need to improve. We can't take another season of him being first choice.
Very fitting that was probably his last action. Really hope he isn't here at the start of next season. It's clear he'd only be staying because there's nowhere else for him to go.
Already heard Moyes saying last week the season wasn't over after the last game at Goodison. Getting the players motivated for this one and a result would be a very good sign for the manager.
It's so obvious DCL and those around him don't want to be here. So when you hear noises being made about another contract being signed you can't help but despair. The only reason for that could be that no one else is going to pay anywhere near what he thinks he can get here.
I think the same advice could be given to her. I get it: they feel under appreciated by the club and think that DCL deserves better, but posting the way she does is at best going to annoy fans and at worst attract the idiots.
He just needs to get his move and hopefully it works out well for them.
Maybe I'm out the loop but this all started with her making an inflammatory post towards the fans for not applauding her husband enough? It was a very strange post on a day where there had been nothing but a great atmosphere in the ground towards everyone connected with the club. Give or take a...
They are but I don't get why she's been so intent to snipe away stirring it up. She should just give the Internet a swerve and stop being wound up by the fact some people don't think her husband is very good at football.
I can't stress enough how much it's best for both parties if he moves on. The only reason he's stayed here is because he missed out on the big move he thought he was getting around the time he had that purple patch under Ancelotti.
You can see it in the posts from his post wife and in the way...
Tbh it was a crap drunk post by me. I just thought it came across quiet on the TV but as I said previously that happens a lot with the sound on TV due to the acoustics at Goodison so probably the case yesterday.
