No, I think it was her just passing WIND. She will sing in a couple of weeks.

If Everton go down the Frankie boy will become the fat lady but expect him to cry not sing.

If they stay up not sure I want to listen to him

Not over till it’s over - but agreed not looking good - watched the Everton v Chelsea highlights and Chelsea seemed very casual until they went behind.

Need something v Arsenal ideally. Need Cooper and Llorente back for that.

Need Terry Cooper and Peter Lorimer back for that.

Not really that hard to understand, bit like "Gerrards Villa" etc. Famous footballer takes on management of club xyz, more noteworthy than Klopp or similar, who did what in English football before snaffling top 6 club management position?

Can't say I like him any more than anyone else, just understand the media taste for the home-grown (even if they're not very good!)

If we get relegated and the strong rumours are to be believed then the relegation release clause in Raphinha’s contract means he goes for 25m instead of the rumoured 55 to 70 if we stay up.

It makes the unwillingness to properly invest in the weak areas of the squad either last summer or in January even more perplexing.

No one is going to pay extortion fees for him now going on his form. The bubble may have burst.

Does it also provide the player with less incentive to try harder in these games?...knowing it will make it easier to escape if we are relegated? 🤔
