Goodison under lights. Rooney. Halfway. Hat-trick. Had travelled back for that game after living overseas for 13 years. Was there with my girlfriend (now wife), brother and Dad. If I could bottle any moment in my life and relive it, it would be that. Given that Mrs PercyThePig would...

Haaland. Imagine how good he'd be now if he'd made a better go of it when on trial...

I have no inside scoop here - but as I said, that’s not beyond the realms of possibility. The original agreement was with 777 after all.

Doubt it’s in their interest or legal right to call it in earlier than the original agreement - but it’s not beyond the realms of possibility. These firms are tasked with making money. They’re generally not perturbed with who/what gets in the way of that.

In Layman’s terms; Everton owe 777 $200m. 777 owe A-CAP* $200m, funnelled through a bond called ‘777-600’. A-CAP have sold the bond ‘777-600’ to JPMorgan for $88.5m. Therefore, indirectly, Everton will now owe JPMorgan $200m. JPMorgan could at any moment call that loan in, meaning whoever...

Don’t think the amount we owe to 777 is the issue - it’s moreso where that 777 money came from originally. It’s stinks of fraudulent and nefarious dealings, and I can’t see the courts allowing anyone to liaise with 777 to clear it, until they determine whether it was their’s in the first place...

So… We are owned by a crooked, sanctioned Russian Oligarch. We are run by a crooked, incompetent Iranian accountant that couldn’t work an abacus. We are in debt to a crooked, bankrupt American firm. We are here because of one man that couldn’t let go of his train set.

From all reports this was as good as done… Hopefully Staveley walks into Goodison with a Prince from the Gulf next week now she’s left Newcastle.

Heard he's holding off on signing for us until after 'Gaffer's Day' in pre-season. Fair play.

Spain will batter whoever wins the other SF. Crazy really when you think they have children on the wings, a striker that doesn't score the only real 'world-class' player is Rodri.

Thought the writing was on the wall when he made the comment about not having a song of his own, after that Argie commentator started the 'Bella Ciao' one. 68 goals in all comps for us, and people still cry-arsed about him doing some modelling. His name's not the best for a lyrical...

Gotcha. Imposing the 'fee-paying period' (not sure that's correct terminology) to run longer than the contract was signed for is just such a Daniel Levy move. Understood regarding player rehab. Legally we have to offer it, but also think the club could be putting him on the back field out of...

Well he's reported for pre-season and can't imagine Dyche letting a free agent come in and rock the boat. May be a point of conjecture, but would we no longer owe Spurs any fee if he was now signed on a free, post contract expiry? That would surely negate any previous contractual obligations...

On loan, like...
