Indeed. They just use childish terms like Loony Lefties, Libtards, Snowflakes and Woke Brigade instead.

Parking across two spaces cunt is one of my personal bugbears. It's bad enough when the spaces are clearly marked, but what really gets my goat is in car parks that have no marked bays and everyone insists on parking as far away as possible from the next car without actually leaving enough space for another one, thus massively reducing the overall capacity of the car park.

The homepage of that Reduxx site - Fuck me! I can't believe anyone who wants to be taken seriously would cite this as a credible source.

So still no direct connection to the Democrat party then. Glad we cleared that up.

Not true. Crooks - the shooter at Bethel Park - was a Republican voter.

Imagine if he wasn't holding the ball and pushed his hands into Fernandes' face with the same force. He would quite rightly have been sent off. But yeah, it was dreadful officiating all round because it was quite blatantly our throw in.

Which makes RM's constant tinkering with the starting lineup even more baffling.

OK, I stand corrected. I always thought it had to be no attempt to play the ball (did it used to be?). Still wasn't a clear and obvious DOGSO though. Would have been very harsh to send him off.

Too much uncertainty whether THB would have got across to cover, and it was clearly a genuine attempt to play the ball. Would have been a travesty if he had been sent off for that. As for Fraser - he cynically pulled down a player who was about to tap in to an empty net. Clearest red card for DOGSO you'll ever see. There's no comparison whatsoever between the two scenarios.

Downes is very close. Bednarek too, probably.

Dyche harping on about Bednarek not being sent off - he obviously doesn't actually know the laws of the game. Even if you accept that THB wouldn't have got across to cover, it was quite clearly a genuine attempt to play the ball rather than a cynical, deliberate foul, which it would need to be in order to warrant a red card.

OK, I take it back. I think the slo-mo replay made it look worse, but in real time it was a good, precise finish. However, if I was an Everton fan I would be questioning Pickford's positioning, because he left a largely open goal.

I'm assuming this means we have already agreed terms with a replacement then, yes?

Yeah that was a heart in mouth moment for me too!

It really wasn't. We were piss poor and rode our luck more tgan once. Even our goal was a scuff shot that 9/10 would have been saved or pinged off a defender. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy we won. But let's not pretend that this result doesn't just paper over the cracks. We didn't win because we fully deserved to, so I can't agree that it was in any way a 'good' performance.

They'll be fumin' that they've managed to lose to a team as shit as us. And rightly so. We got very lucky, all things considered.

Never in doubt 😉

You have to laugh really.

It was embarrassing and he deserved a yellow, but why did Young not get one as well? You can't do that and not expect any consequences.

Even if we somehow manage to win this, it won't disguise the fact that we've been fucking dreadful yet again. Ramsdale has kept us in this, and you have to say Everton are looking far more likely to score than we are.

How's that not a foul on Manning?

Lallana going off was tactical, apparently. He was far and away our best player in the first half FFS.

Not on the bench today.

It's inexcusable really. If you can't match other teams for ability then at least make sure you can match them for fitness.
