"He's one of England's all time greats!"? Of don't make me laugh 😂

The word great seems to be one of the most overused words bandied around these days, but if you do want to use it how about Bobby Charlton?

Record books don't lie Stan. You may not like him but he can play football. He will do a good job at Everton.

Not a case of like CC so much as I don't think he commands respect.

Fraid i'm with Stan here . he's always been a total dick , feel sorry for him jeez .

Morning hils, you still a season ticket holder at Stamford Bridge? :0)

Not for a good few years, CC, since before we moved away. My daughter and her boyfriend are though.

Never mind the media and the subsequent hairdryer from Koeman, the stick he will get from the 'Mancs', Everton play United at Old Trafford the day after his Court appearance. That will be nothing to the wrath he will get from his pregnant missus when she returns from her holiday with the kids. Nicked this from many comments as you can imagine from ToffeeWeb :0)Colleen - "Wayne, why the fuck didn't you just order her a taxi if you were just being chivalrous?"
Wayne - "Erm, erm sorry love I just didn't think about a taxi, erm , and honest to God I wasn't gonna touch her in, erm, you know, erm that way."
Colleen - "Well tell me this pumpkin head. How the fuck would you have got home after safely getting her and her car home?"
Wayne -" Erm, erm, erm."
Colleen - "Dont you fucking dare say taxi!"

Great win for Wales , crowd and atmosphere were fantastic.

Just need another 3 wins now to be in with a chance.

Still reckon hosting it would be our best chance of ever qualifying.

Vokes was as bad as ever and we looked much better going forward when Robson-Kanu replaced him.

Moldova away Tuesday in another must win game.

Bradley Goodison Match A Huge Success
Lowery Legends 7-3 Bradley's Blues

Goodison Park hosted an emotional but joyous occasion on Sunday - capped off by Bradley Lowery’s uncle Andrew Summerbell scoring in front of the Howard Kendall Gwladys Street End.

Olly Murs can also reflect on the day he netted at the ‘Grand Old Lady’ after coolly dispatching a penalty into the Park End net.

The singing star was one of a slew of famous personalities who graced the hallowed turf alongside a host of former Everton and Sunderland footballers in the Bradley Lowery charity match.

The squally weather did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of 12,727 people inside Goodison with both teams leaving the tunnel to the familiar matchday accompaniment of Z-Cars and a throaty roar.

When the action got under way it was an ex-professional who took it upon himself to show the amateurs how it’s done.

Jamie O’Hara actually had a breather just before half-time and - interviewed over the PA system -admitted his competitive instincts had kicked in when he crossed the white line.
t showed. O’Hara opened the scoring for The Lowery Legends, speeding forward and trading passes with football freestyler Jez Lynch – probably not something he ever envisaged doing – before slipping the ball into the net.

O’Hara blasted in his team’s next goal, too, when he took aim from the edge of the box and sent the ball flying into the Gwladys Street goal.

Peter Reid’s 16th-minute entrance for Bradley’s Blues brought the house down but former 911 band member Jimmy Constable was soon putting The Lowery Legends three goals in front.

Murs had his moment after ex-Sunderland hardman Alex Rae couldn’t resist chopping down Soccer AM’s ‘Fenners’ in the box.

But a Bradley’s Blues defence containing Everton stalwarts Alan Stubbs and Tony Hibbert then watched on as Summerbell jinked his way round the ‘keeper and scored the day’s most popular goal on the stroke of half-time.

Stubbs demonstrated his quick feet remain in good order more than once, the former Toffees skipper playing in his customary centre-back position and stylishly jinking around onrushing opponents whenever the opportunity presented itself.

Hibbert also showed his penalty-area habits haven’t changed at all. Urged to shoot as he surged into the box, the popular full-back preferred to chop back onto his right foot and pass to a team-mate!

He let Murs pull rank when it came to spot-kick duties, too!

Nevertheless, Hibbert couldn’t resist having pop from 25 yards after the interval. The ball sailed into the Gwladys Street stand.

O’Hara then completed his hat-trick with a shot from a similar distance – before being replaced by former X Factor contestant Che Chesterton. It was that sort of day.

The sort of day when Lowery Legends manager Katie Price reigned supreme in the dugout over Reid. And when former Liverpool boss Roy Evans – assisting Price – was stood on the touchline wearing an Everton jacket.

Coronation Street actor Shayne Ward rolled in a penalty for Bradley’s Blues to make the score 5-2. And when another man of Soccer AM, Tubes, struck – with a fine finish, it should be noted – it was game back on.

But Lynch abandoned his freestyling for the more conventional pursuit of thrashing the ball high in the net to restore The Lowery Legends’ three-goal advantage.

Love Island’s Chris Hughes, already thrilled to be playing in the colours of his beloved Sunderland, gleefully scored his team’s seventh goal.

That wrapped up the scoring - but not the action, with Reid's assistant, Ian Snodin being sent to the stands in an aptly playful end to the game.

Hughes pointed out afterwards that the 7-3 scoreline couldn't have been scripted better, 1973 being the year Bradley's Sunderland won the FA Cup.

A unique and wonderful afternoon at Goodison in the name of a unique and wonderful boy.

Do you support a football team IT?

From the time I was about 7, my uncles used to take me to Goodison. Other uncles tried to get me to Anfield, without much success. I have been away for many years but still support the blues at a distance. My wife and the kids are Liverpool supporters - somewhere their education went wrong despite me taking them to the match when I could.

So that's 1 and 1/2 toffees sitting on the wall on here then 😀

What are you on about Dil? If your manager used him in the right way there is every chance that he would be just as effective at international level as he is for us.

Lol hils.

Stan , he just hasn't got it at this level. On the other hand that 17 year old kid Woodburn looks a star in the making for Wales and Liverpool.

I visited Liverpool recently and was pleasantlly surprised to find out what a fantastic city it now is.

Dil, You have spent the last umpteen Years telling us what a useless so and so your manager is and now your defending his decisions where his handling of Volks is concerned, be consistent please.

England. Not sure they will win a game at the finals if thats the best form shown this weekend.
