Evertonian. Hate football. Love food, music, cricket and dirty beaches. Excellent at swearing 🤬
FFS how has VAR over-ruled the on field decision and deemed that a penalty??!! It's a terrible decision on its own but consider the ones we don't get 🤯 Just fock off Premier League you're destroying our game.

Why Trump's war week didn't break markets.

We're almost literally playing against 12 men every match. The old saying of these things level themselves out is just not true with VAR. Why the fuck are we letting this bullshit ruin our game.

VAR must hate Michael Keane. Add last night's red card to the penalty when he clipped the lads toenail without looking at Brighton few years back 🤯

Spot on from Ell here. We love watching Everton, it's in our blood but the Premier League is the Donald Trump of football. Its ridiculously inflated ego stops it seeing its own failings and the lasting damage it's doing to itself.
I'm finding Premier League so monotonous and the tedium goes far beyond watching Everton.

So many factors are eroding the essence of the game, from match-going fans paying to be inconvenienced to VAR and robotic football.

The Premier League: Dull as Dishwater
VAR, daft kick-off times and robotic football have made for monotonous matchdays

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

Feels like Zack Polanski is building some momentum. Won't be long until they come for him. The same way they did with Corbyn and Mick Lynch. Smear campaigns, fake stories on social media etc and the flag shaggers will gobble it all up.

Just used ChatGPT for a bit of relationship advice / psychoanalysis. It felt a bit wrong but bloody hell it was accurate and useful 🤯

Like to credit the creator where possible, I've nabbed off The Daily Mash or something on FB, they may have nabbed it off someone else.

Average attendances so far this season. Good to see us nearer where we should be. Didn't realise West Ham still got so many.

Good god I hate that Shite Sports premier league theme tune "Greatest of all time" or whatever it says 🤮 tacky and chavy as fuck.

😂 I hope the flag shaggers have the brain cells to look at Reforms economic plans. They said Corbyn believed in a money tree 😂

This tells you why the Premier League is shite and has been for so long. Same few teams spend 3-4 times any others EVERY SEASON. It's shite, simple as that, not sport at all. The media convince people otherwise because they're on the gravy train but more fans are seeing it. Football will eat itself.
Liverpool had the highest gross spend of £393m, followed by Chelsea £284m and Arsenal £254m, though six clubs in total spent more than £200m, highlighting the depth of financial strength in the Premier League #LFC #CFC #AFC

It’s Carlos Valderrama’s birthday today. You remember him.

Brilliant player. And some haircut too…

I think Merlin could be a great signing. Germany U21's, big tall centre midfielder who looks comfortable on the ball and has a goal in him. Really compliments the "holy shinity" in front of him.

Come on Everton stop pissing about with daft reveal videos, just let us know we've got Merlin done

With only 25hrs of the transfer window to go the lack of any rumours does make it feel like we may not get any more arrivals 😬

Another 'apology', funny the way it keeps having to apologise for mistakes that lead to a certain few teams winning all the time isn't it? Some don't even get an apology and zero attention in the media.
The PGMOL have acknowledged that VAR made a mistake in disallowing Josh King's goal for Fulham against Chelsea. (Sky sports)

Noticed Garner dropped into a "no. 6" role after the substitutions last night. He also did it in preseason a bit. It could become his strongest position. Shielding the defence and constantly being available for the easy pass, Gareth Barry style. It allows the 2 other midfielders to get forward more.
