tadpole's latest activity

Haven't you heard? All we have to do is sell or get rid of the bad players and replace them with all those really good young PL level players that you see going for cheap all around the place. It's really easy apparently and no other club has...

How about we ... er ... wait and see whether by the end of the summer we have an owner, whether we have a Board, whether we have a toffee lady, whether we have a pot to urinate in, and whether we've had to sell all our best players and replace...

Agree with every word. When Lampard left, I honestly thought we were heading for the drop - and I'm an optimist. Don't forget that Dyche wasn't able to bring in a single new player that transfer window. Keeping us up last season was hugely...

Fifty years of hurt never stopped me dreaming

While I'll be as desperate for a win as anybody, a draw wouldn't be such a disaster, with the home games against the Bees and the Blades still to come.

On the plus side Masters fluffers on here who claimed double jeopardy counted for nothing were wrong

A clear example of the PL trying to bully the Commission into submission. If the PL wanted there to be a minimum sanction of 3 points then they should have considered creating a sanctions framework before they started enforcing the rules.

In the wisdom of the PL, the fact that Everton gained no sporting advantage was irrelevant.

The PL could have followed the EFL rules on double jeopardy given that no other guidelines existed, but they chose to ignore them

So the fact that Everton have already been penalised for two of the three accounting years gets us a penalty reduction of 40%. Why not 60% ? They really are making this up as they gto along, aren't they ?

If being bitter and miserable is up your street, you won't want to miss a thing

The reason why Everton's sanction was higher, according to the Judgment, is that incorrect information was supplied to the Premier League. So this seems to set the bar at 4 points for future sanctions, where there are no aggravating factors.
