Gotcha, sorry if I misunderstood.I am referring to not using the funds as well as they could as opposed to spending hundreds of millions buying the very best players Man City style.
I don’t think Everton’s spending is off the size to do a City, regardless of the merits of the players they got (Siggy for £50 mil was crazy).
The fa need to discipline the ref mike jones, appalling to let the time wasting go on like that, Ben foster even stalling the ball boy from doing his job. A really bad example to all the worldwide paying tv viewers of the premier league (that’s all the fa are interested in)
When he agrees, you agree. When he disagrees, you disagree.
Oh, and chief melter, if you will
It's so frustrating and happens in many games and whilst we had to endure it I'm struggling to think of another ref booking for a player, especially keeper for time-wasting. The only time you see it is a player kicking a ball away. That said, just like foul throws it's odd there are certain laws that are never enforced. Not booking him after the ball-boy incident was a joke, if ever there was a time to do it it was there, it still would have been unlikely he would have had the balls to issue a 2nd yellow latter in the game though. And as for the actual booking, when it did come that was exactly what foster would have wanted, it waisted even more time and no way was the ref going to issue another yellow.The fa need to discipline the ref mike jones, appalling to let the time wasting go on like that, Ben foster even stalling the ball boy from doing his job.

I think it was someone on here a day before the game (might have been on twitter though) that posted they couldn't wait to watch Foster pulling up his socks each time he prepared to take a goal kick. A person of wisdom whoever that was!Like most sane people i avoid watching WBA like the plague... Is Foster always this much of a cunt or does he 'up' his game especially for us?
Ha! ..so you haven't taken my advice then.
Love the avatar btw. Your dog I take it?
Poch knew what we were going to be up against, hence a very attacking line up (only having Winks as DM). Absolutely woeful goal to concede, I can't help but look at Lloris on this as I've seen passbacks hit with more pace, if you are going to cover your near post, which he did, then there is only one place the ball is likely to go, he just stood there, not sure I've seen a more WTF goal (flukes aside).....
Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, Mbappe...need I go on...Be interesting to know what player the Captain Hindsight's think we could have bought to turn us into a Played 12, won 11, drawn won, lost 0 side competing with City.
Apparently there are players out there that would have had us competing with City. I mean United, Chelsea and Liverpool spent fuck loads and aren't doing it, yet these idiots think we could have found those magic players just by releasing more money.
Yet, I bet they couldn't name the players.
Morons.

Used to have one. A cocker, yours is a springer isnt it. Lost him about 7 years ago. Not ashamed to say I cried like a baby and still think of him to this day.Yes John - the nice thing about Spaniels is that they're always happy!
They're not so fussed about 'discussing' things over which they have no control..... I wish we could all be a bit more like them (me included!)
