Unravelling Dixie Dean's England Snub Dean’s place in football history is immortal. Yet, one of the most baffling anomalies of his career isn’t what he achieved for Everton, but how criminally underutilised he was by the national team Read More Here - tinyurl.com/bded3rtx

Unless it directly benefited Everton’s fortunes I can’t think of any situation where I’d want Liverpool to win a game of football They could be playing that German team from Escape to Victory and I’d still want them to lose

Almost laughable that Everton’s bench that day was João Virgínia (GK) Nathan Patterson Michael Keane Amadou Onana Beto Seamus Coleman Youssef Chermiti Mackenzie Hunt Lewis Dobbin And the Blues were the ones suffering a points deduction

Keeper moves into a poor position and watches the ball all the way Johnson in no way impacting the play A decision only given because the refs cocked up last week (from @TheEvertonTimes)

Only 2 clubs in the league have a positive net spend over the last 5 years: Everton and Brighton One of those clubs recruits, develops and sells exceptionally well The other is a tight arsed, disorganised shitshow
