Sutton at Norwich. Warhurst at Sheffield Wednesday too. The 90s had a few of them. From wiki… Sheffield Wednesday came in for Warhurst in the summer of 1991, for £750,000. He began his career at the club as a solid defender, but midway through his second season, injuries to David Hirst and...

I wonder if not making the decision to replace Lampard 5 games earlier will be the undoing of this season. Those Bournemouth results were abysmal, and could have been the end. Wolves should have been. Granted we got the unexpected point vs city but bring in a new coach then, have that “free...

He’s got to be done, surely. He’s proven he’s not a good manager. A name helps for a while, but it doesn’t last forever and he’s had 3 jobs in fairly short order and got nothing positive to show from them really. He can print the photo of him arms raised in front of the goodison pitch flooded...

He isn’t now, and has never been, the one who owned Everton. He’s just doing what he’s told for his master, Usmanov. He was told to make money available in the past and spend it on players, he did, It’s a different world for Usmanov now, and he’s been told to recover whatever he can and not...

My head is sort of here, but a bit more despondent and a bit more pragmatic also. I can’t stand Dyche. I don’t mind the football he plays as he gets his teams giving everything and that’s what we need, but I can’t stand him and I don’t want to have to see and hear him all the time. I also...

It’s a big part of his job (and his team who he brought with him) to motivate those players to give 100%. Players rightly get slaughtered for not putting a shift in, but that doesn’t give a manager a free ride. It’s his job to get the best out of them and there’s no way on earth anyone can say...

I don’t know, but I’m certain that if Moshiri wanted to sack the manager (and could afford it) he could and would do. His answer to the sky cameras was his swerving the question. He’s stayed away for 2 years. Why is he there now if not related to at least one of the two managers in the...

Which is the Fabinho one, I don’t remember seeing it - might have been off to the kitchen for a beer. Thiago could have gone 3 times.

They both carried on going for the win, but you got the score right so you get credit in my book.

Edit: nobody seems to be making a fuss though, probably because it only happened against little old ignorable us. So I doubt he’ll get anything at all.

He’s a brat, and he’s been a brat for years and years and years. He should do the right thing with the kid and his family, which means a proper apology in person, a new phone and probably a small financial gesture in addition or the hospitality tickets etc. Separately to that he should face...

Just finished watching this back, I was away all day yesterday so only had score updates but spoke to a mate who was there, said the atmosphere was the best he can remember - not just noise but supportive noise. Absolutely came through on the coverage. Great performance overall. First 30...

What would be interesting - if anyone could be arsed - would be to look at the 4 or 5 or 6 best transfers in the league each of those seasons (with the benefit of hindsight) and play a game of the best we could have bought with the same money. When I was interesting, I guess I mean depressing.

Impossibly aspirational is the long way of saying irrational, isn’t it?

There was a moment in the Burnley game where he strode out at pace into and through midfield and he looked at home doing it. Unlike the absolutely awful Holgate. Both a pretty crap in defence, so I’d swap them around if we ever need to persist with Holgate in the team in midfield.

Now is not the time to “give him a go” unless he looks ready and up for it in training, and you can only assume he doesn’t or he’d be in. The lads career has gone, we were just the sad sacks that paid for the privilege of proving it.

He has to stay til seasons end. Go down, sack him. Stay up, he’s got the first 6-8 weeks of next season to look the part or get rid.

The biggest problem with Frank is that he’s not made any obvious impact, so now what? His words don’t work, and too often it’s excuses and/or separating “us” where he is included in talk of solutions from “them” when he places the blame subtly on the players as a separate group. I said after...

It’s been a 2 team league for 20 or 30 years, essentially, but what makes it different from Spain and Germany is that the “two teams” do at least change over time. It was Arsenal and United It was United and Chelsea It’s now City and Liverpool City will probably stay at the top after Pep...

That’s two separate questions. Was Lampard a mistake? At this time and place, it looks like he might well have been. But of the names on the table he was the one I wanted. He doesn’t seem to quite know how to face up to this challenge though, which is a concern, and given our squad is full of...
