    The deer that thinks it's a sheep. Apparently the deer's mother was killed last September so it found safety in a flock of sheep. It was about sheep size then and, devoid of its mother's milk, stayed small until recently. It behaves like a sheep now, even following the flock into the farmer's...

    Further to the above I'd add that if, or rather when (I'm an optimist), the political situation eases sufficiently for tourism to become more feasible I'd recommend Ramallah as the best place to stay. It's a beautiful city and certainly the most liberal in Palestine. There are plenty of...

    Match Thread Everton 3-2 Spurs 2pm Sunday 19th

    While I was still biting my nails at 3-0 that was the first game I've enjoyed since the 2-0 against the RS. At least some of the players showed they could actually pass the ball and that it is possible to get more than one man in the opposing penalty box.

    2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

    That's the key for me, he kept making runs and getting into scoring positions. Easy to hide as a striker - hide behind a defender, always be just a yard away etc - but he didn't do that today. Kept going, kept at it - needs to keep that level up in the coming games and get on a scoring run.

    Back from 5 days in Palestine for a family wedding. Saw a small herd of Nubian ibex about 20 yards away from a busy road just a mile or two from Jericho. This one was particularly inquisitive.

    On This Day;

    Many of us are used to Everton wrecking Christmas but 52 years ago today they surpassed themselves when Alan Ball was sold to Arsenal, breaking Evertonian hearts the world over. His departure spelt the end for the 1970 championship winning team and signalled a period of rebuilding. It took us...

    Has he left school? Presumed he'd stay on until 18. Mitch Stanley and Tom Hartley also picked, as is Alex Davies. Looks a very young squad overall.

    Booked a short visit to the West Bank in January for a family event. Fly to Amman, followed by 2 nights in Jericho, 2 nights in Taybeh, a quick visit to Bethlehem, one night in Jericho, fly back the next day. The UK government changed their travel advice last week, stating travel to Jericho...

    Completely disrespected at Goodison - his skills are so subtle it takes a football professor like Benitez to fully appreciate them.

    Agree - I think it was the first in a series he wrote about US elections, and he was definitely a Kennedy man!

    I remember them Joey. Can't believe we are red though - mine had the team colours so we'd be blue, Leeds white, Celtic green etc.

    Two weeks ago the Algerian authorities detained the prize-winning French-Algerian novelist Boualem Sansal on national security charges and he hasn't been seen since. Literary figures in France have protested but their British counterparts have been silent, with one notable exception, Salman...

    Contracts must have changed - not many of the current crop would satisfy clause one!

    Exactly. He left because he was told there were two players ahead of him, he wouldn't be playing and wouldn't even be on the bench. From his point of view he was right to leave.

    Agree with that but I also remember that Antonee when he was with us was great going forward but prone to some defensive mistakes - switching off, caught out of position etc. He left because his path to the first team was blocked but his development into the player he is today is almost...
