Is spitting worse than elbowing in the head?

At the rate we are going, if a player tells another player "shush" they will get a 100k fine and 6 months suspension.

An Everton fan said they should go out and get Thomas Frank. Why on earth would he leave Brentford for Everton?!

 

Having said that there were multiple Leicester fans over the last 2 years who said the same….  
 

He's proved himself a Top Manager with the job he's done with little Brentford who are exciting to watch too.

 

It depends I guess if he wants a big Challenge with decent money to spend and a nice big Contract to go with it.

Don't underestimate the fact he's working for one of the most intelligently ran clubs in the world. Not to dimmish his achievements as he's done a bang up job as a cog in the wheel there.

 

There's no way a sane person would be thinking that moving from Brentford to Everton is a great plan, even with the new owners. The contract would have to be insane to even consider it.

At Everton or Leicester…?

 

Big contract, maybe, you know how we work. Basket case clubs, definitely.

 

Keep doing what you’re doing at Brentford and wait for something else to come along would be my advice if either came calling, I’m sure he doesn’t need me to tell him that though!

I totally agree  Who'd want to move from London to Liverppol especially when I'm sure he doesn't need the money.

[Muzzy_no7]

Moyes arrogance since he won that Conference cup with a Champions league budget at West Ham. Jesus.

 

And then he goes and manages Everton again😂😂😂

Spitting at a player is a bit worse than shushing someone, I think.

Be interesting to see what develops of this:

 

'Evangelos Marinakis, owner of English Premier League soccer club Nottingham Forest, can continue his libel lawsuit against a Greek rival over an alleged smear campaign, London's High Court ruled on Friday.

Greek shipping magnate Marinakis launched the case against Irini Karipidis, chair of Greek Super League club Aris Thessaloniki, last year.

He says Karipidis is behind a website alleging Marinakis was involved in match fixing, drug smuggling and shipping Russian oil in breach of sanctions, which Marinakis strongly denies.

Karipidis, however, says she has "a clear defence of truth" to the libel lawsuit and asked the court to overturn permission to serve the lawsuit on her outside of England.

Judge Richard Spearman dismissed that application, saying in a written ruling that Marinakis' case can proceed'

Will probably win the libel case but ultimately I abide by the rule that there’s no smoke without fire here.

He has standards and wouldn't do such a thing.

 

 

He only spits at kids

Moyes confirmed as Everton Boss

 

Not exactly what their fans had in mind. Could get ugly fairly quickly if he doesn't get off to a good start

Is it long term or a stop gap?

 

Will get results but won’t be pretty .

I'm sure I read somewhere they were offering him 3 years but could be wrong

Compared to what they've played before, Moyes will be offering up champagne football

[Super_horns]

Palace signed Esse from Millwall .

 

To go alongside Eze!

[JimJams]

Moyes is probably the safest bet they could have made. He's still generally good at keeping a defence organised, though he had a horrid spell at West Ham for conceding goals at one point.  Hopefully that  becomes a trend.

Old enough to watch Leicester before O'Neils reign and I get all that. It's just laughable people moaned Maresca was boring but are willing to watch the epitome of boring. Not sure what this love-in for Dyche currently is but he absolute ****ing hates Leicester City Football Club with a passion and has forever particularly loved getting a result against us. 

Maresca was frustrating,  as that team should have brushed aside most of the championship but only just got over the line.

I never knew he hated us with a passion,  is this a fact or just your opinion?

It's not a Dyche love-in from me , but I respect what he's done during his career and its without argument that he's good at keeping teams up , even if it's not entertaining. 

I can't say I've been very entertained this season and would kill for a couple of boring 0-0 away results , instead of the shitshows weve witnessed 👍

Southampton and Leeds probably felt the same though

Yes that's true 

I think that horrendous run of 1-0 away defeats to clubs with squads far weaker than ours , soured things a bit.

 

We did play some very good stuff 1st half of the season until sides sussed us 👍
