Oh, there's Bradley's mistake. I'm so sick of this.

They are 3rd division players. One reason for that is that they are less consistent.

You need to get used to it.

Interesting choice of words from Percy, suggesting we wanted to sell? 

'they have ran'?

This bloke is supposed to be a journalist?

Sounds more like a cretin.

As you say Brighton will just farm him out to a Champ club. As much as I love Cash, for me he'd struggle at Prem level...so he needs to think carefully through his next move.

I think the hoovering up of any "likely looking" players is a business in itself for Prem clubs. Then Farm them out ...then sell them for a profit...a bit like Used Car Dealers...

Indeed.

The England Under 21 squad announced today contains 8 players currently playing at Championship or below on loan from Premier League clubs. I can't imagine many of them will ever get much game time with their parent clubs.

Along with those are several that used to be on the books of Manchester City but have moved on for a healthy profit, including 2 (Trafford and Palmer) who are now at other Prem clubs.

That's a bit depressing that even the best are only just over half the population trust the police.

I've had barely any interaction with them, myself, but that nice Inspector Barnaby from the telly seems a lovely chap. I wonder why he changed his name from Bergerac?.

Probably a Brexit thing.

Probably didn't want to be judged by the size of the boat he came here on

Almost impossible to say, given all the wins we had that season.😀

Don't nag

Thanks Morris

Henderson getting picked is a bit of a surprise. Didn't think he'd fit in with the ethos of the team.

No I'm just commenting on some of the at times petty things that get thrown at Musk on here. 

Why single out Musk for a social media death sentence in Saudi Arabia, when Youtube was mentioned as well?  Musk as already said that Twitter has to abide by the law of the land, just as the BBC and every other social media company have to.  I personally think thats a fair statement and sets the rules equally for everyone, certainly far more so than under the previous ownership or the other social media giants that tend to operate under more nebulous rules that objectively favour one side of the argument.

I haven't seen Youtube taking issue with the death sentence.  Maybe its because the Saudi's invest in their parent company Alphabet Inc as well.  Oh, and for good measure the Saudi's also invest in Meta/Facebook so I guess they are all as compromised as one another.  But yeah Musk bad man *shakes fist at sky*

Musk is a bad man and this thread is about him and Twitter.

Feel free to open one about Facebook or YouTube.

Our resident rocket scientist has failed to notice this, it would appear. Obviously rather less noteworthy than stuff blowing up in mid-air.

I wonder why that might be?

The Indian space programme is not saving civilisation from wokeness?

A bit of amateur dramatics to kill 30 seconds in a football match is hardly equivalent to cheating in exams.

Inferring that people who dont mind some of the dark arts in football are somehow fine with more significant and illegal forms of fraud and deception is massively unfair and likely offensive to a lot of people.

I am not responsible for what others find offensive. 

The level of 'significance' is neither here nor there. It's cheating.

The win at all costs mentality espoused by some on here stinks.

Perhaps I should get my kids to cheat in exams because it will lead to success.

I accept that people don't have the same principles as me and I suppose Derby winning just doesn't mean enough to me for me to abandon my particular set of principles.

100% 

Every team that comes to Pride Park seems to do it, so why can't we?

Cos it's cheating.

That others do it is really no justification.

This thread is an interesting contrast to the comments about cheating in the Live Football thread. Of course, in that thread, it's another team doing the cheating.

Jordan Pickford ?

Oh yeah. Forgot about him. Surprising really because we've seen him more than any other Everton player this season.

Darkness at the break of noon

And they're still going on about it

Indeed they haven't. With so little fire power, I was surprised they let Sims go. Their FFP case is being heard late October but I'd expect they're under a soft embargo until then. £370m lost over the last 3 years. For what!? 

They also don't have many assets to sell. Calvert Lewin is their best player but who's going to want him with his injury record?

Their new stadium is coming on nicely. Go past it every day and it's interesting to watch it develop in exactly the same way the team isn't.

Still "nil points" for Everton. I've a lot of contacts at the club, and think Dobbin starting is a pretty surefire indicator this is the season they're finally going down (after 69 consecutive seasons in the top flight). I wouldn't be starting Dobbin for Derby if he was added to our current squad.

They haven't scored yet this season, have they?

Definitely Nuneaton.

I think we've all been around long enough to know that making pronouncements at half time is foolhardy to say the least 😀
