    judge replied to the thread David Moyes.
    Never go back. He's history as far as Everton are concerned and he should stay that way. Unless our fear of relegation is so strong that we'd rather not try a new manager (who could win us things but could equally take us down) and would rather...

    Two things from Forest's request for the audio and Webb's PR job; Firstly - Webb said that ref's set a high threshold for penalising contact 'all over the field really, but also in the penalty area.' This is plainly not true. How many times do...

    judge replied to the thread Spending cap at last.
    The clubs have agreed it in 'principle', which means that they haven't agreed it at all (and i don't think they ever will). Remember when the likes of Man U (successfully) whinged that they only kept 50% of their gate money when they should have...

    I watch Everton and, if we are doing well, i'll pay more attention to the general football news. But, as others have said, the ridiculous rules - falling over at the merest touch to win a foul, racing to stand in front of the ball to stop a...

    judge replied to the thread 2023/24 Sean Dyche.
    He's done something that only Don Carlo had managed to do since Moyes was manager - ie; beat the RS. He gets a free pass from me!

    The season after Hutchinson's non-goal because Poll ended the gane early. Three minutes of injury time to be played. A foul was wrongly given after 3 minutes and 42 seconds and, of course, there was time for McAllister to take the free kick and...

    We were lucky thar we had Anthony ('i'm going to try to make no decisions all game') Taylor reffing. Another ref could have given all three and it's hard to argue against the third. But (thankfully) Taylor is prpobably the weakest ref out of a...

    Gueye plays and we keep a clean sheet. Coincidence?

    judge replied to the thread Relegation 23/24 Thread.
    Needs to play Gueye. He has his limitations but he does what he does well - breaks up play, protects the defence and frees up the more 'skillful' players to go forward. I cba to look it up, but it wouldn't surprise me if the majority of our good...

    judge replied to the thread 2023/24 Jordan Pickford.
    The second goal was the killer. He saves the initial attempt but then pushes it back out into the center of the box/danger area. It's about time that this tendency was coached out of him.

    He’s given so many goals away by trying to be clever. He’s also a fan of the Hollywood save but doesn’t have the ability to push the ball out of the danger zone.

    judge replied to the thread Relegation 23/24 Thread.
    8 points (if we can get them) should be enough. That would leave Luton needing to get 9 (taking into account our superior goal difference). Essentially 3 wins or 2 wins and 3 draws for their last 5 games. As they've only won six games all...

    judge replied to the thread Predict Our Run In.
    A bit harsh considering our away record is won 5, drawn 4, lost 7

    judge replied to the thread November 5th 1989.
    The glory days were over as soon as we appointed Harvey to replace Kendal because 'that's what you do' (EG: it had worked once - Shankley to Paisley - but because that was then recent history our useless higher management automatically assumed...

    judge reacted to Blue Willy's post in the thread 6 + 2 Point Deductions with Like Like.
    They will bring in new firm rules that are easier to manage/punish, but with more liveable criteria. No doubt they will hugely benefit the richer clubs still. Clean slate incoming, getting those implicated big boys off the hook. Also think there...
