EFC, Campervan, Honda VTR SP1, oh and wife, kids, all living the dream. 😎

Sad to hear of the passing of Franco Baresi one of the best Italian defenders to play the game. Took the role of 'sweeper' to great heights (or depths). Real Italian hero. RIP.

Eddie Howe leaving Newcastle you say, with immediate effect, I'd be all over this like a cheap suit. These good young managers come along very infrequently, and he's a Toffee. Big opportunity this.

Infantino has finally 'flipped a cuckoo'. Power hungry beaut has spent too much time in Trumps company. Doesn't know the meaning of 'due process' in business, a pre requisite surely. Wierd behaviour to say the least.

An excellent colourised version of that famous photo of Big Bob Latchford after he scored the penalty at the Street End which was his 30th league goal of season 1977-78.

Wasn't it the last Auf Wiedersen episode where Oz said they have to get back to England sharpish cos Keegan had signed for Newcastle. That's how big a signing it was at the time.

Hope Argentina have a thoroughly miserable weekend. England did them in the Rugby, Spain do them in the footy, Messi misses a last minute penalty to win the Golden boot, Trump hands over the World Cup trophy wearing a Falklands are British T shirt over his whistle and flute. That's the dream.

Be interesting to see how Tuchel approaches tonight's game. With a 3 day turnround and top class opposition, how he changes the team with future formations in mind. Don't think this is a 'dead rubber' by any stretch. Any player not fit enough to give 100% tonight, on the bench please.

Only just seen the clip showing Messi stepping onto Spences foot before the winning goal Wednesday. If he goes down like a sack of shite ie Argentina v Egypt styley, that goal gets chalked off and we're winning on pens. 😐

Anybody who 'scapegoats' Pickford for Wednesdays defeat not only embarrass themselves in a massive way, but gives people the impression that in no way on this earth can they be taken seriously about anything they ever say or do.

I think Saturdays match for England will define the level we're at. Get a right gubbing off the French and the campaign will be seen as a disaster. Think we need a big response from the players to get Tuchel off the hook. Don't want his tenure hanging by a thread going into the next Euros.

5 things this World Cup has given that I'll be glad to see the back of and need jibbing, 1. That ridiculous 10 -1 countdown pre kick offs 2. Hydration, selling stuff breaks 3. VAR wank. 4. Close ups of gormless Z list celebs freeloading, (including Infantinno) boo... 5. Argenfuffintina

On this day, 13th July in 1981, Everton paid Bury FC £150K for Neville Southall. He was only 22 and he found out about his move to Everton in his local paper. ⚽️ His EFC career can be summarised as:- 🔵 751 appearances 🧤 343 clean sheets 🏆 5 major trophies One of Everton’s greatest-ever signings.

Benitez, the next possible managerial choice for Scotland I hear. Add this fella to the long list of ex Everton managers who can't quite cut it at International level. 'Once Everton has touched you...'

Officials for the France v Morocco World Cup QF are from .....Argentina. FIFA aren't even trying to hide it now Unbelievable chance for Morocco if the current standards in refereeing are upheld 🙄

Argentina beating Egypt was the best result for 'the product'. 'Stay in your lane' was in evidence on a huge scale last night. The whole tournament could be a massive embarrassment for FIFA, if it isn't already.
