The PL are having a laugh. Everton are to pay £40m to Burnley because of PSR breaches in 21/22? Burnley were relegated because they were shit not because of anything Everton did. How about getting the City case settled before we hear anymore about PSR at other clubs?
Turned down Julian Alvarez because Michael Antonio was doing alright. Let that sink in. I wonder if @LivEchoEFC and professional Moyes sycophant @CBeesleyEcho will put a positive spin on it 🤔
@MezahiMaher It's despicable, but hardly surprising. With all the racist bile Ilhan Omar has had to endure, mostly whipped up Trump and his sycophants, and the "Somalis are low IQ people" it shouldn't feel like a surprise.
This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.
So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.
@jim_keoghan@daviddownie17 As horrendous as this effort is, it doesn't come close to how arse-clenchingly cringeworthy this one is 😫😫

@EvertonNewsFeed Maybe a controversial take, but I thought Thelwell did alright as DoF considering the financial restrictions. Maupay was the only turkey he signed in the 3 years he was here
There are plenty of lessons that can be learnt from Tony Blair’s legacy. For example, that privatisation has been disastrous and following the US into illegal wars is wrong.
But his latest “rare political intervention” - calling on the government to abandon net-zero, further privatise the NHS, deregulate Big Tech, and cosy up to Trump - shows that he hasn’t learnt any of them.
Whatever you think of Gordon Brown, his contributions after leaving office have been focused on trying to improve people’s lives. Tony Blair simply does the bidding of Silicon Valley billionaires and petrostates.
@RichardBuxton_ It did feel like over the last 2 or 3 years Barça had got their shit together due to the relative belt-tightening. Brought through the youngsters, made sensible signings and hired a quality coach. This could be another daft Coutinho or Vidal like signing
This really is tone deaf stuff from Blair.
The extreme, neoliberal, centre is what’s led to a cost of living crisis, food banks and wider decline in our country, and why people across this country are rejecting it outright.
It’s his brand of politics that’s led us to an utterly broken country.
It’s crystal clear Tony Blair does not care about the lives of working class people.*
And, this intervention definitely does not speak on their behalf
He speaks for the billionaire class, vested interests and the status quo with the aim of protecting their wealth and power, much like his great friend Peter Mandelson.
His institute are bankrolled by big tech and corporate interests, not the 99% struggling through austerity, insecurity and inequality.
They don’t represent ordinary communities nor possess the answers to the problems facing the country in 2026.
Time to bow out Tony you have done enough damage.
