having read various feedback accounts of the test event of evertons great looking new stadium,there appears to be a problem,they`ve built a stadium but have neglected to improve roads and transport links around it,add a car parking ban as well,it appears that nobody can get to it😂

I drive past there if I'm going into the office (WFH most days fortunately) & a blind man on a galloping horse could see that problem coming! I kept expecting a new multistorey car park to go up in the area, but no, absolutely nothing! And, as you say, the road infrastructure isn't up to having 50k people all trying to descend on it at once.

On another note though, directly opposite the ground is a dodgy looking pub called, funnily enough, the Bramley Moore I bet the landlord there is rubbing his hands with glee! Other than a Chinese restaurant & a Subway there's not much else around there for food & drink without actually going in the stadium.

Goodison and Anfield are a trek too as there’s no railway station anywhere close so it’s either find a bus or a fair walk

Yeah, they've been shocking. Half the players look like they dont want to be out there.

Leicester problems started when Marcsea left. never recovered

Doesnt help when the English football pyramid is as much of a mess as it is. Go up, come back down.

It's mental cos Leicester and Southampton were established premier league teams for a number of seasons. One season out of the top flight and they can't compete and look destined to yo yo for a few seasons. Ipswich with back to back promotions you'd expect to go back down but all three promoted clubs to be relegated? And then how are we meant to compete with leicester and Southampton next season. Systems fucked

southampton are so bad i think they`ll struggle even in the championship,martin completely ****** them up with his crackers insistence on possesion,it will take time and a change to personel to change their mentality

leicester`s van nistelrooy appointment has been a disaster and it looks like he`s lost the dressing room,though i don`t think they have a bad squad and they should`nt be in the bottom three

From memory I think Leicester were still outside the bottom 3 when foolishly they sacked Steve Cooper - seemingly to appease some loud mouths in their fanbase ; underlines that the views of supporters should be ignored when taking decisions regarding the playing side of a club.

Is that really why they sacked him or is it a convenient narrative for you?

He was a sacrificial lamb to deflect criticism at others at the club. Why do you think he was fired ? It certainly wasn't based on the results he was getting from that group of players.

Anything to slag off your fellow fans.

Drivel. Who have I slagged off ?

Sacking Cooper to bring in RVN was a massive gamble. I think Cooper would have at the very least kept them above three other teams this season. As it stands it may be a decision that costs them their place in the PL, although they still have time to course correct thanks to the bottom four all being at a similar level. Can't see them staying up if they keep Ruud though.

I dont think Wolves are at a similar level to the other 3. O'Neil had them performing well below their capabilities, conceding was it 20+ so soon in the season from set pieces and having lost all of their discipline.

You do it all the time.

Wolves are a decent side with some very good players. Cunha (sp?)  is outstanding and will surely move on for big money. They shouldn’t be struggling down the bottom

Southampton, Ipswich and Leicester look certs got the drop for me. Watched a bit of the Leicester game last night - they’re in a terrible mess and van Nistelrooy is clearly a poor appointment.

Promoted teams coming straight back down points to a widening gulf between the top 2 divisions and is not healthy for the game.

Heaven forbid if this Rovers team does get promoted: as it stands and without significant investment it might struggle to win one game.

i could`nt see the club investing in players,venkys would take the money and give nothing back ,a la the oystons at blackpool,maybe once they`de recouped their money back they`de put the club up for sale????

as it stands,the only player in our side who could hack it in the premier league is tronsdadt,i think the others would be struggling tbh

[DE.]

United might as well have saved £15m and kept Ten Hag. Amorim has somehow made them even worse and I don't see how it gets any better long-term without spending money that they seemingly no longer have.

Beautiful. 

[roverandout]

They wanted rid of glazers now they have an even worse man running the show 

[simongarnerisgod]

the worst utd side ever

i was`nt around in the 70`s when they were relegated and  fergies first few years were terrible but this side eclipses them all😄,****** great innit!!!!

[K-Hod]

2 each now, belter of a finish for the equaliser.

[K-Hod]

Aaaaand now they’ve given away a pen in injury time 💀.
