Everton

**** me. It doesn't do to take the piss out of someone's appearance, I know, but I can't believe how much he's aged. He looks about 80? He's the oldest looking 57 year old I've ever seen.

Reminds me of that bumbling pissed aristocratic, Harry Enfield character.

He was on loan at Colchester for a bit years ago.

Just had to look him up, I think the answer is obvious (when you see his record), he's 27 years old and has been at Everton for 10 years, and he's played a total of 12 games for them, spent most of his time out on loan, surely a more appropriate question is why has he been there this long?

Once a blue always a who?

25 grand a week for 5 years and a 250k bonus every year. not bad deal to say he never played once after his last deal, too much money early and lost his ppetite for the game.
He bought a lamborghini with his first lump sum.

I mean, its wrong to assume all footballers love the sport. Some of them might be very talented at something they have no care for. If you can sit it out for 10 to 15 years and be set for life why wouldn't you? But if you do love the game surely at some point you would look back and realise you wasted your chance. The money might last but you'll never get that time back and the opportunity is gone.

If you decide at 30 you want to be a teacher you can train and go for it but pro sport doesn't afford that luxury.

Everton have lost exactly half of their Premier League games in London (78/156), with only Newcastle (79) losing more in the capital than the blue ****e.

what is the point of Everton?

Everton have been ever present in the Premier League and in that time (28 seasons and counting) they have never finished in the top 3 (and obviously never in the bottom 3). 28 seasons of never competing for the title and never being relegated. In that time Norwich, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Blackburn, Newcastle and Leicester have all finished in the top 3 but not Everton. They have reached 1 FA Cup final in the last 25 years and haven’t reached the League Cup final since the 1980s. Everton have never actually won the League Cup which puts them in the shadow of such luminaries as Oxford United, Stoke, Swansea, QPR, Swindon, Luton, Birmingham and West Brom.

Since the start of the Premier League both Middlesbrough and Fulham have reached European finals but Everton haven’t. Coventry City, Blackburn, Newcastle and Sunderland have all had a Premier League top scorer but Everton haven’t. They haven’t had a Player of the Year since the mid-1980s and have never had a Young Player of the Year.

The sun rises and sets, players come and go, presidents are impeached and pandemics threaten our existence but through it all Everton finish mid-table. Always and forever mid-table. I mean, seriously, what is the point of Everton?
