Not as bad as the Arsenal away or Norwich kit (tippex and snot) ones of the early 1990s- not that it hindered them (Arsenal won both cups and Norwich beat Bayern on their ground).

Good weekend for us!

Can't complain about the referee!

Come on Everton...

Aberdeen manager.. Jimmy Thelin
It's time to say ta ta.
Another dismal performance.
Tarkans hibbee husband Will be pleased.👍

Yup he is. And I’m happy with the Rangers result, at least I had one of my teams win this weekend.

I ended up watching the multiview thing on Sky for the earlier English matches today. It’s not too bad if you’re not really bothered about any of the teams or results. 🤣 Surely it has to be bye bye to the Wolves manager after this as well. Although since they’re the only team stopping West Ham being bottom I’m happy for them to take as long as possible there. 🤣

VAR for not inerfering with the keeper, no VAR for pushing the keeper

Pawson

Not defending our poor defending but

Skilliman Ndiaye is great to watch 💙

Thomas Frank chewing gum frantically with his mouth open is so disgusting.

That wasn't very good but the refereeing was awful.

Ah well.

@TheExcitersblowingupmymind interesting character👀

Stole a penguin, jailed in Singapore, now Aberdeen sporting director, Lutz Pfannenstie

I will definitely look that up later
Stealing a penguin 🐧 is pretty special 😜

Dave Cormack our chairman is a prick.!!

what did he do with the penguin?? 🐧

Ooer...

During his time in New Zealand, he kidnapped a penguin and kept it in his bath, only to send it back when the president of Otago United warned him he could face deportation if caught.

Rodgers resigns as Celtic manager, O'Neill returns

Brendan Rodgers to go to Liverpool to replace Slot then?...

😂that is going around on my Everton feed as well

Given the frankly brutal statement from the Celtic Chairman I would be surprised if anyone gave him a job for awhile divisive self serving etc leading to a toxic atmosphere

it is a funny ol' game tho, isn't it?

Am still very very much enjoying the engagement shown by the Wednesday administrators. Am now worried i won't manage to get a ticket for Boxing day!

They lowered the ticket prices as well 👏

It shows once again the power of the fans.

i have just watched the last few eps of Ted Lasso. There is a great speech by Rebecca (owner of the club where Ted is the trainer) about how football should belong to the fans, not owners and definitely not for the creation of some massively funded Super League. Fiction of course, but i can imagine most fans being 100% in agreement with that.

Brendan Rodgers departure not a surprise as the relationship with the chairman had clearly broken down.

Martin O'Neill's temporary return is though. The only football manager my late mother would ever ask about, recognising his astuteness.

The fan owning model though is fairly popular (I am sure Wrexham was propped up by fans, Brentford was)

Real Madrid certainly is isn’t it (though in a complicated fashion)

Keeping the seat warm as he put it.
