Everton FCs excuse or defence if you like seems to centre around a lot of 'whataboutery', what about City, Chelsea etc. Never a good move really, did they or did they not over spend and knowingly do so in breach of FFP rules? Its a simple yes or no answer Everton and the PL having reviewed the...
You can't just give someone a football banning order, it has to form part of the sentence on conviction from a criminal case or one can be applied for through the court based on intelligence. Possibly might go that route if the fella can be identified.
Unless it is a very serious crime i.e Sexual offences or certain violent offences (Think serious GBH or murder etc) the police here rarely exercise the powers afforded them under Extraterritorial jurisdiction. I also doubt the French police are likely to be interested if the offender is no...
At this stage I never want to see Milner in an Albion shirt again, I'm hoping he makes me eat my words but I wont hold my breath. Veltman is an absolute shoe-in against his former club. I would bring Van Hecke in at CB and shift Igor over to LB as he has more experience than JP on the left hand...
Suspect the Saudi Pro league will go the same way as the Chinese Super League, incidentally where our former duff dutchman Jurgs Locadia has ended up at Cangzhou Mighty Lions (7 goals in 24 apps). Once the Saudis realise no-one wants to watch their sportwashing League it will die on its arse (It...
I'm sure everyone will join me with offering commiserations to Stevie G and Jordan Henderson as they lost 1-0 away at Al-Riyadh yesterday. Still they are doing their bit to make the game more popular in that hotbed of football, Saudi Arabia as I'm sure the 696 fans that turned up to watch will...
I always get bitten by anything remotely interested in biting humans. Day 1 in Queensland , Aus a few years back I woke up covered with 45+ bites!
2 nights in Marseille, out wearing shorts all day and night, in a budget hotel etc. Not a single bite of any kind!
Flights, 3 nights accommodation (including 1 night at Stansted before the early AM flight out), private airport transfers, match ticket - £400 all in. It took a whole day of searching and booking but I was happy with that.
The loss of innocent civilian lives on both sides is horrific and tragic in equal measure, but worse still if they have been deliberately targeted and slaughtered in their beds and beheaded as seems the case for some Israelis attacked by Hamas terrorists. Hamas are the enemy of their own people...
Do it again In a heartbeat, had the best away day trip ever in 45+ years following the Albion. All the scaremongering beforehand was a bit much in my opinion as all the locals I've encountered have been friendly and welcoming and at odds to explain tourists are welcome and safe in the city. It...
Got here safely under police escort. Most insane security I've ever experienced in 45yrs following the Albion. Hundreds if not thousands of police on duty, fully armed and riot clobber on at the stadium to escort mostly bemused Albion fans off the coaches, police equally bemused by some friendly...
Is anyone else going out of Stansted tomorrow flying to Catania, Sicily 0620hrs and then onto Marseille. Bit of a magical mystery tour but it was a cheap route
I'm not really that bitter tbh just voicing an informed opinion after seeing it all happen over 21 years from the inside. A few bad eggs has turned into trays of bad eggs and unfortunately the police's insistence on recruiting only graduates or young people with a higher education or willing to...
