Erling Haaland. Probably a nice enough guy in fairness but he looks like a genetically modified man child.

Lionel Messi. Can’t exactly put my finger on it but he has a stupid smug look about him like he knows he’d probably be a waiter if he wasn’t a footballer.

I once played for a reasonably well known Norwegian team. Well, I didn’t actually play for them in as much as I worked in the city, got friendly with someone at he club and got given a load of training gear from said club. Me and my mate used to tell women we were professional footballers in Norway and both had pictures on our phones of us in “our” training gear (the picture was taken in a gym changing room. It worked a couple of times, including a sympathy shag after I broke my leg pissed up only I obviously embellished the story a little that i happened during a game and could be career ending.

I think it’s quite obvious here that it’s all the fault of Rafa Benitez.

I was absolutely gutted but not surprised to read this earlier today, I feel like I’ve been kicked in the balls to be honest but I don’t want to come across as a cry arse. It’s no secret Everton have been mismanaged for a number of years so all the moaning in the world about other teams solves nothing. Was the decision harsh? IMO Yes. Was there mitigation? Yes, it seems so but was the club mismanaged? Absolutely. The money we wasted on shite players, paying of the likes of Benitez and Silva and no doubt countless other indiscretions. Did circumstances conspire against the club? It seems so but my fear now is we get hit with a further deduction on appeal and don’t have a legal team strong enough to win - which lets face it, if it’s anything like our recruitment and club management will be shite.

I normally like them being an Everton fan but we’re actually playing decent at the moment, and I’m stuck in bloody Scotland so doubtful I’ll be out for the England game on Friday unless I want my head kicked in. I don’t mind the international break for betting on either.
