Wayne Rooney does not want to use the word 'fairytale' about his return to Everton but it seems he is fighting a losing battle.
Having returned to his boyhood club, Rooney marked his second Everton debut by scoring a spectacular goal.
The 30-yard strike had echoes of his first Premier League goal for the club against Arsenal in 2002, with a touch to control then a curled shot into the top corner. It helped Everton to a 2-1 win over Kenyan side Gor Mahia in Tanzania.

Lol what a stupid bit of reporting 'Koeman made 11 changes at half-time with Rooney one of the players to come off'.

Feck me even I worked that out !

LOL Dil I know! Just the Press building him up before no doubt knocking him down. Kieran Dowell's goal wasn't bad either. Still, if Rooney scores one like that at Anfield worth the wait :0)

Hope he does well for you Chris he's been treated awful the last couple of years at Man U.

A good run out for their first pre-season friendly by next years title contenders...

I'll have some of that you're on...

As for the others Wigan are held by Liverpool and the Tofflels travel to the Netherlands, meanwhile lower down the leagues...the Carduffers scrape home to an outfit I've never heard of 😂

Lol it's a little village/town a few miles north of Cardiff and I think they play in the third tier of the Welsh league.

Top opposition :-)

Whilst chelsea slam our near neighbours

Won 7-2 against the mighty Tavistock last night in the first game of our of Devon and Cornwall. Next up are Bodmin.

Touring C&D are about as close as your lot will get to playing in Europe so make the most of it...by the way it's peeing down there 😁

Oi we have been in Europe numerous times and beat Real Madrid on one occasion and reached the semi final of the Cup Winners Cup.

That was the past, I'm talking about the future.

Been there done that

But nevertheless I still want a repeat of the whole lot this season - COYB

Burnley's first day opponents are clearly worried as they have to pay £60 million on some bloke as they try to ensure they don't drop points.
