It’s also one of the oldest tropes in the book used to perpetuate homophobia, but you go right ahead and give Marty and co some more ammo to shout into the Twitter void.

I think there’s a pretty big difference between teaching kids to understand/respect same-sex relationships, and actively urging them to couple up/be someone’s Valentine etc

I assume you’ve spoken to LGBT people to warn them that their message is being hijacked this way? How do you think they’ll react?

Forcing things like what? The idea that it’s ok for people to be gay?

Think @Marty is going to have some serious questions to answer as to why he’s been funnelling money to an organisation that he believes openly supports paedophilia

The lack of English managerial talent doesn’t make people like Lampard, Gerrard or Rooney any less pedestrian. In fact, insisting on giving the top jobs to people based on their playing career is probably one of the reasons for that lack of actual talent.

Didn’t change their minds after San Bernardino. There’s so little known about the Monterey Park shooting that it’s hard to say if there’s any connection with these latest two, beyond the age and ethnicity of the shooters. The second one appears to be a workplace argument.

As someone who hasn’t been following them that closely, what are the Everton board doing so badly? They’ve obviously allowed someone to spend a fortune on players who often aren’t very good - is that all on them? Is there anything else they’re doing wrong?

You can argue that none of the ex-Chelsea signings have been all that effective. Dabo has been the best one by miles, if that tells you anything. It’s a limited strategy that can only ever get you so far.

Who’s pushing for it to become mainstream?

I think it’s because there just isn’t a sense of meritocracy when it comes to deciding who gets big management jobs. Certainly not in the same way as there is on the playing side. Seeing people like Gerrard, Lampard and Rooney being constantly linked with top jobs off the back of their football...

You’re not defending it, but we should give people credit for doing coke in the cubicles rather than out in the stands?

Yeah it’s fucking rubbish when people bang on incessantly about stuff that people said ages ago isn’t it

Selling your most valuable players usually ends in relegation, I thought. You’re telling me Luton are still in the Championship?

That extra transfer kitty and wage bill would transform the squad (even ignoring that your back of the envelope maths only adds up to £15m rather than £18m). If keeping Vik comes at the cost of five more years of next-to-nothing in terms of transfer investment, plus a dilapidated training ground...

Crazy business model - I can only assume they were relegated that season?

Total disgrace, disrespectful to the laws of our game, needs two-footing.

The last recruitment team were at least able to identify affordable, permanent signings who could improve the quality of the squad. This new team under Dean Austin hasn’t exactly hit the ground running in that regard.
