    He's not a fraud, he just doesn't have the necessary experience to work in the premier league, especially in a relegation battle.

    Which I did tell him!

    The whole town was buzzing though, so........

    Yep came up through our academy with Nwaneri.

    Really self assured player with bags of talent. He's a midfielder, but can also play LB.

    Another one alongside Nwaneri and Saka who are going to have big careers at Arsenal.

    They used to say that about Wimbledon, Coventry and just a few years back… Sunderland.

    You can only avoid it for so long. If they don’t sign a striker in the next couple of weeks, they’re right in the ****.

    We'll see Ponks ... did well enough at PSV ... and you rate Kai Havertz, so you'll understand my reluctance to accept your footballing expertise at face value ... especially given Arsenal fan's historic fondness for RvN in his playing days at United <laugh>

    I'd rather get relegated having a go with some free flowing footie than watching a team set-up negatively each game ... look at some of his signings ... Jordan Ayew, Bobby De Cordova-Reid and £20 million on Oliver Skipp ffs! ...

    Just getting to the Premier League and then merely avoiding relegation season by season by season is the footballing equivalent of havng herpes ... <laugh>

    The relegating Everton in the last ever game at Goodison dream is still on.

    ...and yet here we are ... both struggling in the top league again ...

    ... with us still having won the Premier League and FA Cup in the last decade whilst your 'highlight' has been a Pickfordsaurus penalty save at ours whilst continuing to stink out the Premiere Legue like an IBS **** in a toilet with no air vents <laugh>

    That was filled with rage….

    it was delicious to see former champions whimper to relegation…..a poor man’s Blackburn.

    Not at all...it was filled with **** ... (and facts)...

    ... and watching 'former Champions' nicely sums up Everton's participation in the Premier League ... <laugh>

    We were below par last night but Wolves looked good to be honest, 3-0 absolutely flattered us. We've had a few games recently where it felt like we had the game won early on and then just sat back and let the other team play but Wolves felt a threat throughout. I've seen them a few times and I'm kind of shocked they are where they are in the league, they are the only team in of those you mentioned who i could see winning back-to-back games and suddenly pulling themselves out of the mess.

    Think Leicester and Southampton are down and it's one of Ipswich and Everton. Suspect it'll be Ipswich.
