He’s now a part owner isn’t he? As well as the shirt sponsor

Same old Everton. Crying emoji.

He spent the entire game warming the bench regularly sucking on a water bottle…so yes.

Surprised he was available, did nothing come out of that fight in the stands at the Copa? Were the Uruguayans cleared for protecting their family?

Yes, 1.4% non-voting shares in the club and he is advertising his current tour on the front of the shirt.

Pfft. Luton Town goalkeeper. 30 years ago that woulda been play on.

Jus saw some of the highlights of Brighton vs Man Utd. Christ almighty. I think fans of United rivals will enjoy some of the ridiculously sloppy play. Genuinely appalling, actually.

I still have a fotmob alert on Luongo from the time he was at
Spurs. I saw he was subbed off and was worried he had a shocker but that keepers stats might be the worst I have ever seen.

With all the performative non-celebrations these days Danny Welbeck went up a notch in my eyes celebrating the opener.

They’re awful aren’t they?

Ten Hag looked like a euthanasia advocate last night.

Can confirm.

The winner was incredible, at least 6 blokes drawn to the ball, none thinking to look over their shoulder and see Brighton players taking tickets at the back stick.

Nunez has been given a 5 game international ban, free to play (or ride the pine) for Liverpool.

Birmingham have just signed Jay Stansfield from Fulham for £15m + £5m and 20% sell on. Broke the old league one transfer record of £3.4m.

Ridiculous

There is no way we (Fulham) can turn that down potential or otherwise.

I also saw a 100k bonus if Birmingham get promoted back to the Championship. In the context of 15 + 5 + 20%, why bother?

It was pointed out to me maybe the 100k was leaked so Birmingham could legitimately claim that the reported fee was wrong.

Even if he becomes a gbp40m player, we get 28m all up.

And if he never gets above championship level, we’ll have gotten 15m for him.

For a 21 year old with these stats - how could you not drive him to birmingham yourself?

Everton’s implosion against Bournemouth was hilarious, they really are the gift that keeps on giving!

So painful. Sigh.

The goals only highlights didn’t quite cut it so just fired up the full game and fast forwarded to the 86 minute mark. Tbh Goodison was already quiet at 2-0 even before all the air got sucked out of the joint.

The amount of chances Bournemouth managed to create in stoppage time was insane.

Be interesting to see if ETH survives this international break. That was so, so easy for Liverpool.
