So Chelsea secretly pay out £47.5m in brown envelopes to players & agents for 7 years helping them sign players like Hazard and gain sporting advantage while winning multiple trophies..

PUNISHMENT: £10m fine

——

Everton meanwhile, slightly breach PSR, overspending by £19.5m over the allowable £105m limit in one period, largely linked to stadium investment & COVID impacts.

PUNISHMENT: 10 point deduction followed by a another 2 point deduction both which directly affected their league position and prize money whilst risking being relegated from the Premier League.. AND now have to pay Burnley £40m for alleged lost earnings due to Everton’s “unfair advantage!?”

——

One club hid tens of millions in shady payments for years and got a slap on the wrist. The other got hammered with points lost, risked being relegated, costing millions in prize money for league placement and now have to pay compensation to clubs as well!?

The disparity in severity, sporting impact and deterrence makes the rules look ridiculous and unfair.

“Big” clubs get no consequences for their actions, while Everton are the league’s whipping boy suffering multiple existential hits.

Why are Everton treated so differently to every other club in the league!?

Short of cutting his arm off it’s difficult to know what Tarkowski’s supposed to do. Refs told to look for 3 things with handball. Deliberate movement of arm away from body. None. Clear additional arm movement. None. Arm position makes body position bigger & is unjustifiable. No.

@Merseytravel @premierleague @LFC @afcbournemouth Just a 36 hour walk from Euston. A good way to get your steps in.

@JohnS_71 @ClassicEFCGames Thanks John I had no idea. Goodison always looked packed out from the games I’ve seen footage of from that glory period.

@keith_giles @ClassicEFCGames @GavinBuckland1 Thanks, I’m 40 so I started following us the Wimbledon season. We celebrate that 80’s period so much that it’s difficult to understand how it must have gotten so awful, so quickly? I can’t believe all those empty seats, was that for every club in that period?

“Why didn’t they anticipate that half of Birmingham supports a club based in Liverpool?”

@GianlucaChianti Doucoure’s winner was 550 seconds into stoppage time

[JDiv @JDevine84]

@EllBretland I still get sweaty palms over that chance. We are lucky the rebound fell to big oaf centre half too

@joe_thomas18 Thanks
