Interesting how of the pieces of evidence in the PL's case has been Everton's poor accounting surrounding 'Player X'. A player signed in the period who was later arrested and subsequently left the club.

2021/2022 and the three seasons previous

Beat them and drew last season.

The period you speak of with Everton they didn’t break the rules.

True and agreed - it’s just how a court potentially quantifies that to performance. Do you start to look at the players within that period and how many times they played within a season they complied etc? When Sheff U went for West Ham, they could pinpoint Tevez’s goals as a difference and that still got settled out of court.

Is it at this point I mention the charges related to 2021-22 and last season they complied ?

That was settled out of court - notably West Ham got a fine rather than points deduction.

Legally for our own case - it would be decisive if the PL declare what season Everton didn't comply. West Ham's example with third party ownership already has notable differences.

If they have broke the rules, they deserve it. This will run through the appeal systems now right up to CAS. If they lose that case, I see the only outcome regardless of our claims for compensation, will just strengthen the top bunch of the league. Everton aren't cash rich - a lot of money is tied up within the club on finance deals and debt. So everyone goes after the assets. As common with administration etc, the top clubs will ransack their academy teams of all the best talent. Then they get to pad out their squads with Everton's remaining better players. It just ends up strengthen everyone at the top. A potential pretender to that big group at the top held back. Liverpool get the spoils of the city's talent. Everton end up like Leeds and Leicester flogging their new stadium to a third party.

Slightest issue is Everton didn't tell us to keep employing Brendan Rodgers and sign the likes of Soumare

Won't be sorted until May at earliest - Everton will take it up to CAS. Seen this play before. If they stay up without the deduction, they will pull the CAS appeal.

Luxembourg in the play-offs then with them likely to finish 3rd in their group. Incredible progress in recent years

One piece of advice I was given by a colleague recently about meeting people. When you have that first chat, try to remember one thing about them. When you meet again, refer to that thing ie ‘how was your holiday in?’ Goes a long way.

Of course it's opinions. Just wouldn't have MoV as overly authentic - Oggi as well is high up in their authenticity of it's Italian cooking.

Never seen a restaurant decorated like that in Italy or banging out full English breakfasts like the Granby Street one does. I'd say Casa Romana is whilst Maurizio's hilariously Neapolitan (but don't expect any stiff upper lip service)

Similar here really. I miss the comfort of a pub more than anything. Thankful my village has a Heineken 0% tap

Weight training has been the best I've started this year. I don't do anything OTT weight wise but the focus it's given me, low spells of depression have been reduced, I feel fitter - like proper fitness. Sleep better etc

Barwell v Coalville - the derby at the highest level in the county, 3pm. Barwell normally right spoilers for Coalville but hardly fierce rivalry The level below has games with probably more riding on it Anstey Nomads v Loughborough Dynamo - ground is sadly on the basic side with not the biggest clubhouse but best game on paper. Shepshed Dynamo v Quorn - more traditional non-league ground, both upper mid table

Local to Ipswich?

Sometimes personalities don’t fit. Being a younger player who wants to prove himself, he’s not content with collecting the dollar ala numerous players here previously. Fair ****s

Dordrecht on Friday - was like a hybrid of non-league and second tier football. Felt like a good chunk of the crowd didn't really have much skin in the match but there was still banners, smoke bombs and loads of kids having a great time. Ground was a traditional Dutch arrangement. Didn't spent any time in the town but pretty houses (similar to around Bruges ground) Saturday - went to go Capelle but it was called off waterlogged, we spent 8 minutes in their club house before heading off Feyenoord Amateurs who kicked off later. Free to get in, and you could watch Feyenoord's Under 14s play PSV Under 14s if you wanted. Superb facility across the road from the De Kuip. Dutch football was amateur until the late 60s - so clubs such as Feyneoord and Ajax still have their original amateur club with paid members. Game was woeful but the end when the visiting RVVH got it back to 2-2 and then Feyenoord got a winner. Went over to watch Feyenoord Basketball across the road lost to Den Helder Suns. Sunday - De Kuip is a proper football ground. Club bars playing trance. Big cheers to the Ajax score. Pre-match atmosphere was really lively. Locals told us it should have been a good game. It was instead pants. 1-0 over AZ - both teams looked tired and leggy, you'd be a bit pissed as AZ fan as they never went for it. Atmosphere started really well and good after the goal but was poor at times. When the noise did get up, the whole stadium got up....European games would be immense here. We walked back but they had constant trains and trams on to get back into the centre of the city. Also literally thousands come on their scooters and bicycles utilising the cycle lanes. Ran around Excelsior and Sparta's grounds on Saturday morning - the latter is a brilliant intimate ground which has just been extended. Next ground in a hopping capacity I am looking at is Chorley on 30th December

Wouldn't mind the appointment of Cameron if it involved bring someone to the role with expertise and a history of good international diplomacy, particularly given the outlook of the world. I don't think Cameron fits that at all.

Not going down well. Garcia was a terrible choice too

Said that I can think of city based ones who did it well like Marble Arch, Manchester
