Fair enough. I find it hard to disentangle explanation from justification. There is, of course, an explanation for everything.

Most salient point on this thread. Really shows the idiocy of that shout from the Everton fan.
I’d be blaming the hierarchy and tactically limited manager if I was them.
Dyche’s sides never score goals - even when Burnley finished 7th they only scored 36 goals that season. That’s one more than Sheffield United managed last season. Everton have no chance of being entertaining with a manager like Dyche at the helm and that’s not the players’ fault.

I do find it amusing that the worst abusers always look like they wouldn't last 5 seconds with an athlete in their prime. Lucky the fence is there

I'm sure they will get along famously
Going to be an interesting watch.
Genuinely not sure what the right emotion here is. Had hoped Marseille went to shit once they signed Greenwood. Now I really want Maups to do well.
Maybe we could send Crawley's Williams over to France for a week to maim Greenwood so that le petit maison de merde gets to play every game.

I like Maupay as well. And RDZ
But still want them to go to shit for signing Greenwood
Thing is - if PL footballers were earning £10k per week, they'd still be getting the exact same abuse. Their team lost, they've had a couple of beers too many / a big line of coke - and they want to take their aggression out on somebody.
I guess swearing at their players is better than having a scrap with the opposition fans

We’ll miss the greatest social media commentator on English football there is, can’t imagine his thoughts on the French top flight will be so entertaining for us
They are not going to like each other though... I give it a month before these two hotheads have fallen out over something.
hugely disappointed he's decided to join RDZ.
10k a week is still probably more than many Everton fans in corporate hospitality earn a month, so the point remains.Thing is - if PL footballers were earning £10k per week, they'd still be getting the exact same abuse.

There was a time (in our lifetime) when footballers lived in similar houses to many of their more well off fans and went out on Saturday night with Debbie or Leslie to have a steak and lager and lime in a Berni Inn that many of their fans also used. We don't know, because the internet didn't exist, but I'd bet they wouldn't shout at one of their players in the pub after a defeat in those days.
lmao ye right
