The nerve of the big six complaining about the rest of the Premier League not voting in rules that favour them months after trying to leave that same league in the lurch by creating their own. Is it really unfathomable to them why they face opposition?

Everton in fifth, two points from title challengers Tottenham with six first-team players out injured, including both their full-backs & now both of their key midfielders, and not a word of complaint from Ancelotti or mention of it by the press. Funny that.

I was far too pleased to say last night but Carragher was horrible on Sky after the game. His attitude stunk and he was pretty condescending to Rooney, who I think was making valid points about Klopp and the timing of his departure. It was very sore loser behaviour.

It's genuinely rather impressive for the manager of one of the world's richest teams with the world's most expensively assembled squad that dwarfs any other in size to complain about fixture congestion on live TV isn't it? The sheer brass neck of it is astounding.

The big thing for Everton fans is they're tired of being the joke club, the team that these things always happen to. It's exhausting. If Everton aren't being crap on the pitch, there's some nonsense off it. It's been nonstop for years and Everton fans are tired.

Sean Dyche asked his Everton squad if they were repeating history after the loss to Chelsea and wanted him sacked. They've responded with a massive win over Nottingham Forest and a first win over Liverpool at Goodison Park since 2010. Suggests they don't want him sacked at all.

Manchester City fans seem to think Everton wanted to play the game. They almost certainly didn't if the Covid-19 outbreak is as severe as it seemingly is. What they want is to know why they weren't informed until a decision had been made. It's really not that difficult.

The Premier League likes the big teams doing well because it's an easy product to sell. Everton, Leicester, West Ham, those types of teams don't sell abroad so they're not interested. Leicester winning the league was their worst nightmare & they don't want to experience it again.

Carlo Ancelotti loving life at Everton: “It’s an informal city. It’s not big, the people are friendly. I get on well because I don’t like formal cities. London and Paris offer more choice for things to do but in Liverpool, like in Madrid, you don’t have to dress up for dinner.
