Scoring late goals is usually a sign of team spirit and inner belief. It can also indicate good levels of mental and physical fitness. We do not have a very good record of scoring late but I don't think our players necessarily lack belief or self confidence. So that leaves fitness levels. At...

There is no such thing as a ' top ten club ' in the PL. That expectation is reserved for six clubs and only six clubs. The rest, whoever they are, are in a fluid division that sees teams excelling and overachieving one season and then fighting relegation the next. It would have been better to...

Why Stoke? Why not Brighton or Guildford or Marlow or Winchester or Torquay or Islington or Chiswick or Richmond. These places also have lots of the stereotypes you cite. I suppose its a ' Remainer thing ' to categorize whole swathes of the country as thick, racist and xenophobic and we are now...

The manager is the key to survival. You are right, we are far too predictable at the moment. Fine playing out short if you are Man City, who have high quality players, who can play decisive and accurate 30-40 passes and in the blink of an eye can switch from defence to attack. We cannot. It is...

Agree with that. Its about time they got it into their thick heads that unless they start helping business, particularly the small and medium sized ( which is the lifeblood of this country ) and not keep sucking it dry like some sort of willing ' cash cow ' the country will not re-invigorate...

None of us will really know the extent of downsides or upsides for quite some time. In my opinion, it will be 8-10 years before a judgement can be made as to the wisdom of this decision and by then, no one knows how the EU itself will look.

Not in the Gosfield household, can't stand triumphalism and will be in bed before the rubbish even starts.

The table is definitely looking worrying at the moment. A gap has opened up over the bottom six. The first question to ask is whether any of those above us are going to collapse i.e only get 7-8 points from their remaining 14 games. It seems unlikely, as the likes of Newcastle, Saints and...

Most of the people in this country have no interest in a celebration on Jan 31st. They are too busy getting on with their lives, either carrying out jobs to the best of their ability or running businesses and trying to wealth create. They have moved on. They know there was only a small mandate...

When the fans see the team start to slide they get concerned. There is frustration and a certain amount of puzzlement why this team works well and clicks into gear and is a joy to watch and then, within a few minutes, it all starts to unravel. Why they can't sustain a performance longer than...

Ok....does seem more realistic. My ' Everton insider ' assured me that the two clubs had agreed a post season sale price and as a result of that Everton would still cover his wages. Maybe its just the loan fee involved. I shall direct him towards the article.

Don't think Andone was GP's type of player and when his suspect temperament came to the fore v Saints, it confirmed that feeling. He was gone soon after that.

Hopefully Potter's laid back approach is a smokescreen and we have a target lined up.

Everton have agreed some sort of deal with Palace. They want Tosun off their books and have allowed Palace to take him on loan, whilst they continue to pay his wages in full( approx £90k ) Looks like they have agreed a price for him at the end of the season ( £16-17m )

Tosun has gone to Palace and scored in his first start on Saturday. There are no wages involved ( approx £90k at Everton ) and a likely deal at the end of the season.

I think part of the problem is the gap between a £15-20m striker and a £40-45m striker. At the lower end there a lots of options because these guys are never going to get you better than 1:3 - 1:5. They are decent players but they are not match winners/season changers. Players who can go on 8-10...

It does beggar belief. If they are not going to bring someone in, then they are playing with fire. Its not as if any of our three are prolific anyway. You could bring in out of favour Billy Sharp and he would not be any worse than what we have. Giroud ( wages too much ) would be the answer and...

Score twice in games and we usually win. Score once and we cannot see the game out. All sides have games of dominance, when they cannot get that decisive second goal. Then, shape, discipline, organisation and mistake limitation come into play. The four sides above us in the table, who haven't...

A lot of us keep thinking that our supposed lack of firepower is the reason we are not sitting more comfortably in the table. The following stats seem to back this up. 23 games played In 16 games, we have scored 0/1 goals ....W0 D6 L10 In 7 games, we have scored 2/3 goals.......W6 D1 L0 It...

Our service industry is global and massively in surplus. It will strengthen even more post Brexit. Our trade deficit in goods is the major issue, particularly foodstuffs.
