Looks like old Jacks been at it again ?‍♂️.

29 Oct 2026 19:09:06
The lad is nice and all that but also a bit of a lush.

{Ed025's Note - unfortunately you are right DMS..

I can see us winning this game tonight then losing on Monday.

29 Oct 2026 16:49:18
I would rather it were that way around GB.

29 Oct 2026 17:15:51
If things go our way tonight we've got Fleetwood away in the quarter final, I believe the semifinal is at Wembley dare I to dream?
And as for Monday hope for a clean sheet anything else is a bonus away. Steady progress bit of a cup run.
If memory serves me correctly that's what we all wanted when fighting relegation. I don't think anyone on here expected us to win the league in two seasons or is it only one and a half?
I don't think anyone expected us to play like we were the 1970 Brazil team either but it seems as though now you do.


Remind me what happened to West Ham with and without Moyse.
Fans wanted him out because of safe football hmmmm what did happen.
Off to the game now
UTFT.

Semi finals played over two legs, one at home, one away.

29 Oct 2026 17:35:51
Id like us to play like a team that had a set of balls and wanted to win a game not one that sets out for 0 0 and hopes to nick a goal, and let's not have any ambition with a modern forward thinking manager because west ham were relegated I give up.

29 Oct 2026 18:40:08
Yeah my bad got over excited.

30 Oct 2026 07:45:11
Well onto Fleetwood ?.

29 Oct 2026 12:05:26
George, Hackney and Dibbling hopefully to start tonight.

29 Oct 2026 16:31:27
Yep hope so mate.

29 Oct 2026 16:50:28
Dibling is the one for me, Johnson has done F all, and needs to be dropped. I would imagine Hackney will start with Jimmy at lb. I'm sure he'll start Jack if he's fit.

29 Oct 2026 19:11:21
They are but Grealish has let us down again! I would love to see Grealish left and George RW.

{Ed025's Note - lets hope Dibbers on the right George on the left means we dont need jack to elevate us mate, and jack can raise a toast to them.. :) COYB

Will Burnely be able to afford our money if we win our appeal in January?

The more that comes out about this Burnley situation, the more uncomfortable the whole £35m saga becomes.

Everton were ordered to pay Burnley around £35m over the PSR compensation case. We appealed it, and quite rightly, because the club believes the original decision was fundamentally flawed.

But here's the bit that really sticks in the throat.

Everton actually warned that if we paid the money and then won our appeal, there was a genuine risk Burnley might not be able to repay it.

We asked for the money to be protected while the appeal was heard. An escrow account. A bank guarantee. Something that meant our money was safe.

That request was rejected.

So Everton paid the £35m.

Now we're hearing that Velocity Capital, Burnley's parent company, has received a compulsory strike-off notice from Companies House after failing to file overdue accounts.

To be absolutely clear: this doesn't mean Burnley are bankrupt, and it doesn't mean Everton have lost £35m. Burnley's owners say they're working with Companies House, accountants and auditors to sort the situation.

But it does bring Everton's original concern straight back into the spotlight.

Because what happens if Everton win the appeal?

We should be getting our £35m back.

But what if Burnley can't afford to give it back?

Everton could potentially be left having to pursue the money legally, and if there simply isn't enough money available, recovering every penny could become a serious problem.

And then there's the question of interest.

The original award included around £9m in interest, and interest was running at 11.81%. If Everton win the appeal, whether we can claim additional interest on the £35m we've had tied up would depend on the eventual ruling and repayment order.

So this isn't just about whether Everton win or lose an appeal anymore.

It's about whether, if Everton win, we can actually get our money back — and potentially how much we're entitled to receive.

Which brings us back to the question Everton were asking in the first place:

Why wasn't that £35m protected while the appeal was being heard?

Because if Everton's original concern turns out to have been justified, we're potentially looking at a situation where the club warned about the risk, asked for protection, was refused, paid the money anyway. and then had to spend months trying to get it back.

Let's hope it never gets that far.

But you can understand why Evertonians are looking at this latest development and thinking:

"We told you this might happen.".

Well if ever there was an incentive to win that cup game Come on Moyes do the right thing.

28 Oct 2026 22:52:54
A proper manager would go balls out tomorrow to win that game with the draw.

29 Oct 2026 00:38:28
Hope moyes doesn't read this comment, he'll interpret it as he has permission to play for a 0-0 draw

Agree though, feels like best chance in years and you have Sunderland Drawing palace too so if get through its a 50/50 chance you draw the winner of that for the Semi.

29 Oct 2026 06:57:30
And now with the QF draw a real incentive to get to a final and win some long awaited silverware ?.

{Ed025's Note - lets see how tonight goes first Nick, its a real 50/50 game for me mate..

29 Oct 2026 09:15:12
I too hope Moyes goes balls out tonight because he will be arrested for indecency and lose his job.

29 Oct 2026 11:49:10
When we beat them in pre season George and Hackney were the best players on the pitch. Don't let us down Moyes.

{Ed025's Note - i would like to see Jimmy play Right back PB because lets be honest he has been very poor this season, and i would have Hackney and KDH in the middle, and Johnson nowhere near the squad..

29 Oct 2026 12:10:49
Can we have you in the dugout Ed?

{Ed025's Note - i will try my best PB.. :)

Just a little light in our darkness, watch first half of our under 21s, Graham, is different class, he really has got something special.

27 Oct 2026 22:16:05
Look forward to him never getting a minute and being sold to Swansea for £3m next season.

I know people are always keen to point out that TFG, came in and stabilised the clubs financial position, and that's true, but right across the board, they have been guilty of bad faith.
If they sell at anywhere near their asking price, they will, in less than two years work, walk away with an enormous profit.
Givern the way they have conducted them selves, it doesn't seem likely, that this was always their intentions.

Plus their "stabilisation" did not see them clear the last owners debt, just turn it into a mortgage on the stadium.
However, they did manage to stump up a major contribution to Trump's realection, and for me, this shows just what sought of people they really are.

27 Oct 2026 19:13:38
Politics and football don't mix! Couldn't give two hoots who they gave money to in America in all honesty. For us and our club, they have come in and stabilised us when it looked like we were staring into the abyss and going to financially implode with the damage that FM left in his wake. For that, I wouldn't be bothered if they made a profit on us when they eventually sell up, that's business after all, mate.

I believe they came with good intentions but didn't realise how taxing owning two big clubs would be. As long as they sell on to someone who has money and patience then that will do me. One thing is certain, they leave us in a better state than when they first walked through the door.

27 Oct 2026 19:24:43
Business people pay the side that is in their best business interests.

Only thing I'm interested in with TFG is whether they back us and help us to operate as a successful club. I'm doubtful that Kinnear has been the right appointment and I was disappointed that he remained in position after the transfer debacle.

I would like the new owners, whenever we get them, to be a step up in the decision making for the club and want us to do well without putting the club at risk. I'm not wanting a Chelsea or City type owner who have cheated their way to where they are but someone who genuinely wants the club to do well, will buy into the history (if not a fan already) and allow us to operate as a club willing to buy decent players or see us compete in the league and cups. All the above without needing to sell our best players to balance the books.

Is it too much to ask?

{Ed025's Note - its not BR..
