Everything ok at home hun?

Ya Ma’s box room can be a lonely place…

Gets results though.

Performance enhancing results, in any other sport it's called doping, you being one should know that

Tell that to a care home worker on minimum wage who has done a double shift and who has been assaulted by some poor soul with dementia. Or a nurse on a psychiatric ward. Or a police officer who has to tell a family their child has been murdered. That is one of the most ill thought out comments I have ever seen.

Yeah and guess what the difference between a nurse/police/care home worker and a footballer is? All those professions are essential and a necessity for our society to function. Having 2 football games in the space of 2 days is not a necessity, it's selfishness.

Well if they don't like it they could always get a job cleaning toilets or cooking big macs.

That wasn't the point of your original post. You said "Our working hours doesn't cause a risk to our safety or health like it does with footballers." I have some surprising news for you. Yes it does. Turning out for three hours in the space of two days does not seem unreasonable. Career ending injuries are thankfully rare these days. They have access to top medical facilities and even if someone did sustain such an injury, being paid £7-8m a year even for a couple of previous years would not leave anybody in financial hardship. Unlike the rest of the mere mortals who put in 40 hour a week shifts and should they be forced out of work by ill health do not have that to fall back on.

Who said football was a necessity? It’s pure escapism, and having so much football over the festive period allows people, including those in necessary professions, to take their minds off for a couple hours. You never heard of complaints back in the day when teams would play Christmas Day, then have the reverse fixture 24 hours later, same in the 80s and early part of the 90s, it’s only been since the PL has become more and more global that people have been complaining and demanding changes to a traditional period of the season

No didn't you hear the spud man has been to more games than us all combined biggest blue around. He also gets the tube from Liverpool to Birkenhead on the regular

Thought he would have used a boat.

Always look forward to the Christmas football, Christmas can be depressing for some people. Are they moaning about too many games? Play less games, less wages

From recent experience watching Everton over the festive period is not a recommendation for maintaining Christmas spirit in any way shape or form.
Although that 5-1 boxing day win at Burnley a few years back was a nice change.

 

[spectateur]

Tube to Birkenhead? Tube? Mr potato head what you chattin

Right, for how long has the Merseyrail underground been know as "the tube"?

Just a wool thing obviously. Doubt mr spud has ever been to the city tbh.

Watched that in the New York everton supporters pub with a bunch of blues. Was a rare class performance.

Seamus with a header against Newcastle in extra time was also a joyous one. Awful game though. Kept getting told off for yelling.

 

[degsy]

I see captain of captains is giving off about nobody caring about pampered millionaire footballers. I mean it's terrible that they have to "work" during covid and all the rest of us are sat at home doing nothing.

Looks to me hes after some sort of players rep or agents gig

 

[davek]

Settle down on St Stephen's Day (Boxing Day to heathens) and watch City disppear out of sight of Liverpool in the title "race".

Kopites spewing out ale and mince pies all over the shop.

 

[CharliePotato]

Any official reason why the RS game is off, or are they just obeying Herr Shipman?

Probably same reason ours is, witch-hunt.
