Speaking of that moron Keys, this is brilliant from Agbonlahor

The Quest coverage was generally very good, especially having a knowledgeable presenter & panelists, certainly the best in our years in the EFL. Fingers crossed ITV's offering is as good.

Yep. We've had a few weird ones although caveated that they were usually mid season arrivals & just took an available number: 4. Lloyd Dyer 🤨 5. John Hartson 7. Nathan Clarke 🤢 8. Richard Duffy 9. Mo Konjic

Dion would have been out of contract & could have walked on a free. Signed a new deal to ensure we got a transfer fee & then Richardson hawked him around.

The nonsense about him sleeping with colleagues wives was obviously rubbish & not particularly clever.

And most (sane) people thought the notion of teachers carrying guns was just a daft soundbite...

The Goals prevented chart @shmmeee shared is probably the best stat to judge shot stopping (provided you have a big have enough dataset) as this effectively uses xGOT (Expected Goals on Target) which is the inverse of xG to decide the likelihood of a shot being scored & then as such the chance...

I agree, his ability with his feet & command of his area were why he was identified & signed and has proven to be a huge upgrade. I think if you could get those AND pair it with an exceptional level of shotstopping then great, but you're probably looking at PL goalkeepers or massive fees/wages...

I'd agree. Very good with ball at his feet & his confidence at coming for crosses and command of his area was an enormous improvement for us. Whilst I'd ignore the Save% & Total Saves stats as they're pretty meaningless he's only a pretty average shot stopper. All that said, I don't think...

Did really well at Birmingham but had his season ended by injury. Just signed a new contract at Wolves where he'll be 2nd choice next season.

They all have numbers & usually carry them through from the U23s just all aren't always included in the first team squad list it was the same last season - not entirely sure why but @SBchimp may know more. Anyway; Dinanga 34 Cashman 35 Bapaga 41

I'm yet to be convinced by Gordon tbh. Works hard but has pretty much zero end product, seems more interested in diving than anything else which is a real shame. Think Everton are in for a really tough season again.

Couldn't disagree more on Waghorn. It may not have worked out for him here but that isn't down to any lack of desire. He works incredibly hard in matches & training and, as I'm sure the ITK's will confirm, it is he who has pushed to leave simply because he wants to play & not just sit on his...

In fairness he scored 2 in 2 games then only started once more afterwards. In fact he only played more than 30mins on 3 occasions.

Also... Boddy is a puppet Sisu yes man with no say in anything. Or he personally negotiates all our transfer fees, contract extensions, salaries etc. Depending which suits the point trying to be made.

Seems this has been massively over exaggerated. It's actually £80k p/w basic rising to £121k with bonuses. Still an awful lot of money of course but then there's no transfer fee involved. Even if you assume he takes the max £121k every week it is 'only' £6.3m for the year. Not sure you could...

Safe to say, I wouldn't agree with Football League World on our Best XI 😆
