Commentator saying Jota and Nunez won't mind the added time as they're on hatricks. Jota who was substituted a couple of minutes earlier

Tierney. Regarding the possible red. I personally don't think it should be but we've seen plenty of those sort of challenges result in a red card this season

I'll give you one guess

Bournemouth player lucky to get away without any punishment for the challenge on Diaz. Certainly seen red cards for similar challenges.

Yeah fair play he got it on target but there's no way he should be scoring. The goalkeeping is awful

Ridiculous as in the goalkeeping?

From Saudi to Amsterdam, where getting stoned means completely different things

Presumably because the club were still spending money on players that took them over the threshold for the three year period. I don't disagree that the points deduction seems excessive but it does seem that Everton have falsified their statement to the Premier League about what that loan was for. I'm not sure how they win an appeal based on that, maybe they'll get a slight reduction at best.

On the stadium thing, which I think a lot of this hangs on, if I'm not mistaken, the PL's case is that a loan Everton received was not for stadium costs. Everton are now insisting it was but at the time there's no evidence of that. The below does a much better job of explaining it than I ever could

Yeah I can imagine that the club would be looking ahead to a time when a Robertson replacement is needed but I don't think it's a pressing issue yet. I agree on a CB, although the noise from Klopp after Matip's injury suggested he might get a new deal, so who knows. People have mentioned a 6 too but I think they'll look at how well Endo has done and also not want to block the pathway for Bajcetic as he's potentially a long term solution there

Didn't Tsimikas only recently sign a new deal?

He's managed to grow the game in Saudi in just 6 months, fair play

I don't see Newcastle going for him if they were to get rid of Howe. They seem to have been quite sensible in their recruitment in that they haven't gone for big names who wouldn't be the right fit. In fact, would any of the current PL top 10 go anywhere near him now?

The 3 year cycle thing shouldn't have come as a surprise should it? PL clubs would have voted on that rule when it was introduced

Smith was never beating Beterbiev even at his best but I feel he'd have given a better showing of himself had he not been so inactive. His career seems to have stalled a little since the Groves win

A group stage exit would be ideal

I've not watched much boxing recently, still follow any news/results etc but I think I'll get up for the Beterbiev v Smith fight later. Should be a good.

The Blues mention the 'big 6' clubs so they can make it about Liverpool. That's all. Are any of the other 14 backing Everton over their charge? I'd be surprised.

You're never going to get consistentcy over what are subjective decisions. I thought it was probably a foul but don't think it was enough of one to over turn the original decision.

Keegan only made one substitute appearance in that World Cup due to injury

Chile for me would be Salas and Zamorano too. Maybe because the 98 World Cup is the first tournament I remember properly and remember Salas scoring that brilliant volley against England at Wembley before that tournament.

I was thinking this too. Putting so many players on 7, 8 year contracts can't help with motivation and must take some sort of edge off. Could end up with a few Winston Bogarde's there
