    Galatasaray getting run off the field by some rando Swedish outfit worries me more than it should

    Transfer Rumour Olivier Giroud

    I think Giroud has limitations but he would complement Sandro quite nicely. Doubt it comes off though.

    Homepage Update: Jordan Pickford

    I think it's almost impossible to tell anything from keeper stats. The sample sizes are too low, and the number of instances where a good keeper would make a difference is even lower (some saves are simple; some shots are unstoppable). Also, so much of keeping is control of the box and...

    2017-2018 Fixture List

    Kind of weird that we play Chelsea twice before we play West Brom. I can't remember a schedule set up differently than the usual 19 + 19.

    Ross Barkley

    I understand neither of these sources are ironclad but it's literally the first two that pulled up and I can't be bothered to find more, so please accept this screenshot.

    Ross Barkley

    Romelu Lukaku

    Sucks, but combined with funds added (and wise investment) it represents an opportunity to remake the entire attack. Don't blame him or us for how it played out, except insofar as we couldn't kick on for fourth over four seasons. Let's finish as high up the table as possible, cash out, and use...

    Only person I've seen get away with a blatantly bigoted message on here with no reaction whatsoever from the mods.

    Match Thread Everton vs Bournemouth 3pm Saturday 4th Feb

    40 points. Last year we reached 40 points on April 13, Matchweek 33, after a scoreless draw away at Palace.

    Oumar Niasse

    You joke but there are plenty of strikers to come over who couldn't manage even that. Ricky van Wolfswinkel comes to mind immediately. He's plainly not good enough for Everton but good for him. And in any event his success is good for Everton too.

    Oumar Niasse

    If I'm not mistaken Oumar Niasse just ended the longest current unbeaten run in the English leagues. Legend.

    January Transfer Thread 2017

    Shhh, it's hard enough getting these damn names out of him. I mean, he already has us being Antoine Griezmann.
