"Eurofa Cup"....again.
Rather hear that than ‘phenomenal’ or ‘ok’ 59 times in an interview
Are we really going to judge our new manager on how he pronounces words?

Seemed to be planning on fielding a reserve team for the Europa dead rubber. He really should just send Ferguson out to take the team in Cyprus and just focus on Sunday with the first team.

This Allardyce/Silva 'spat' is so silly.
Why are questions like that even entertained by managers - should immediately be a one month ban for 'stirring the pot' for the raggy journos that do this.
It's illustrated one thing... Silva has a fairly fragile ego.
Anyway, by his logic of 'compare what he was doing at 40" he must reckon he's a higher profile manager than Fergie.
Ironic that he makes a silly statement like this while calling the statement he's responding to nonsense.
Wish everybody would just shut up and stop feeding into this circus - but amazingly despite Silva avoiding speaking about Everton with every question he was asked for the last number of weeks all it takes is a perceived sleight and he can't help himself.

I completely agree.
It's just a defensive comment that isn't very well thought out. Should've just dealt with it the same way he's dealt with so many other question "I want to focus on the next game etc. etc.". But he couldn't help himself as it was his own record that was 'under question'.

Interesting little tactical tweak from Allardyce on Saturday btw – when we brought Keane on, we went with three centre backs (Williams, Keane and Holgate). Holgate has always played his best football on the right of a back three and accepted logic is that you play your slowest centre back in the middle of a back three.
Instead, Allardyce played Holgate in the middle of the three as a spare man with Williams and Keane man-marking the two big grocks Huddersfield had up front – unusual, haven’t really seen an approach like that as far as I can remember since the Germans used 352 as their default system in the 90s with two proper man-markers and a spare centre back/sweeper in the middle
It actually worked really, really well. We’d looked like we were a bit nervous defending against these long balls punted into the box, and suddenly we had both strikers being marked and a spare centre back who could go and attack the ball or mop up 2nd balls
It's early days, but I was quite encouraged by this

probably all already common knowledge, but we have a lad in our office ( Scottish lad so no ties and no reason to make it up ) who has a contract with Everton FC and goes in for regular visits with someone at the club
come back in the office then and told me the players were all revolting against koeman because of his strictness ( nothing we didn't already know ) but apparently the players could only wear certain socks with there suits, they had to be in @ 9am at all home match days so they had to spend all day together and eat together, they had to wait behind koeman and management in the que for food
then he said unsworth was never considered for the job because he's to nice, he said he's just one of the lads, gets on with everyone but they couldn't take that serious for a manager and then said fat Sam came down before the west ham game picked the team which is why rooney started and give the team words before the game
then added that craig shakespear sits high up in the stadium on the ear piece so he can relay info to fat sam about positioning etc
I AM NOW IN THE KNOW
