He'll be guilty by association if he swallows Harrison. At the very least.

I'd leave one on in the window for now, Mike, but you can blow that candle out when the first "In Moyes We Trust" declarations arrive... I'll tell you now: I'd trust nobody who sanctions the signing of Jack Harrison.

Hmm, favourite three? Lineker, Beardsley, and Cahill - because they were among the most effective we ever made. Most exciting transfers? I was thrilled we bought Kanchelskis and James Rodriguez. I was in my late 40s when we signed the sexy Colombian and there I was, like a teenage girl...

Evertonians seem obsessed with defenders who are good going forward and forwards who are good defending. My God, what I'd give for defenders who defend well and forwards who are known for their attacking excellence. We seem to want Jacks of all trades - with the latest "Jack" living up to the...

Is it just me who sees this thread's title as "Douglas Lolz"?

And that's without accounting for our most significant move of the summer: the retention of Jarrad Branthwaite. Heck, I'm mad for us to spend big wonga on top players - but I'm reasonably happy with where we are at the moment. There's lots to do, obviously, but we've made some good moves so...

Indeed. Each to their own.

Well, this is it. What does it provide that justifies a subscription? Honestly, nothing to me, anyway. I'm old-school (and old, 53). Brian Glanville is my idea of a football journalist. I did a stint at Goal.com in the noughties looking after their German football pages. I argued that they...

I gave up on him years ago. The Athletic promises a lot, but it delivers very little in the way of genuine insight.

Mental health checks for two members of the forum...

Great view of the Liver Building out the window, too.

I think your reservations are valid. One can love women's football and still prefer the men's game. Top-level women's international football is interesting. But there is no depth beyond a handful of countries - which is what you would expect in a developing sport. Some of the women have...

I see "Dom's" summer is going about as well as our window...

I'm with you on that. Pretty much my modus operandi. That said, I am also a bit of a football history nerd, so spend a lot of time collecting classic matches from the past (World Cups, Euros) that are AI upscaled and sticking them on usb sticks. I'll enjoy the World Cup next year - or rather...

With the best will in the world, those girls bottled spectacularly. 2-0 up, blew it. Then had, what, three chances to win on pens and blew the lot? Laughable stuff.
