Look at it rationally. Go back to Real and have another bash at winning the European Cup? Or stay at Everton and try to turn the likes of Tom Davies and Mason Holgate into semi-decent footballers? Tbf I am also 100% convinced he knew of the financial troubles coming down the track and felt...

Got Leeds all him me thinks. Or possibly Brentford.

His spell as manager is the only time in probably the last decade where I had some genuine hope the club was going to push on and maybe achieve something. Finding out he was leaving was heartbreaking and I don't think we fully got over it until relatively recently. I think this narrative that...

Suarez will take some beating. One absolutely scummy human being. Karma will catch up to him one day.

Miss him so much.

Same. West Ham will have a horrible season but getting Nuno in was exactly what they needed. Forest meanwhile will get to mid-table easily with their squad, even if Dyche will end up boring them to tears like he did here. Fulham I think are in for a ropey year. 3 worse teams surely but based on...

He's going to play, he'll have too once N'Diaye heads off to AFCON. I think the coaching staff are likely working with him individually to help beef him up in the meantime. People moaning about that last sub are just being miserable for the sake of it.

Thought he tried too hard at first but once he settled down showed some very encouraging signs. Looks very much like he wants to be an 8 rather than a 6 like I thought he was.

He did okay, the sort of performance he needed really. Pleased for him. All he offers really is energy but sometimes that's all a midfield needs to get control of a game.

Matic once hit an absolute banger past us at the Gwladys Street end. We still won thankfully, but I remember distinctly thinking "bloody hell where has that come from". Very underrated PL player.

I thought he was hopeless, even leaving aside that chance even I'd have scored. He runs around, which is more than Beto does to be fair, but his hold up play is non-existent. Who scouted him?!

I thought something was up my telly when I saw McNeil getting stripped to come on. What the absolute ****. The media need to start asking him the tough questions, we've spent loads in the summer and he's using the squad terribly. You can say some of the signings have been bad but we ripped up...

He's 23 yet plays like he's 16, it's infuriating. Not strong enough either for a lad his size.

It wasn't Chermitti.

One absolute womble. That's twice now he's walked out on Celtic when both times they'd pulled him from the scrapheap. Constantly disrupting settled teams and back-channelling his bosses. A self-absorbed nob of incredible levels. That Celtic owner has properly gone in two-footed and good on him...
