That is Rosenior gone.

That is Rosenior gone.

6 years salary for 6 months work, anyone would take the job at Chelsea, they won't struggle for a replacement.

What a shower of shit.

What a shower of shit.

I told my son that the grandkids would perform better than this shower of shits.

That was a robbery, let's just give them all the injury time they require to not lose.

Bollocks!

Yep.

There's a certain 3 letter ackronym that's normalised ridiculously long stoppage times so scoring in the seventh minute of six minutes stoppage time is just par for the course nowadays.

The problem is, it is Everton tradition to let in late goals.

This is going to be a Chinese Olympics level of audience management chicanery to make the figures look good. The numbers of foreign fans will be miniscule but every TV cut will be made to look like there's a billion Brazilians in the stadiums, and of course Trump will be proclaiming it as the best World Cup in the history of everything.

Yeh not going to happen. It is a cash cow that he/his family will milk until something radical happens which won't happen whilst everyone above the fans keep raking in the money.

Cracking game between Villa and Forest, found it quite amusing when they showed William going mental and acting like a peasant when Villa got the 2nd goal.

 

[Raven]

Forest collapse.

 

[Deebs]

I am loving the dance moves of Unai Emery.
