Challenging for the title means being in the conversation - I think that puts you top 3. I mean fair enough, but challenging isn't winning, is all I'm saying.
-
I don't think we should entirely dismiss the idea that we may not be intending to become the superclub that we have all assumed we're aiming to be though. No one has outright said we're aiming for total dominance in the style of City or PSG.

Maybe he wanted heavy spending in January to keep us up and the owners are resigned to relegation if it comes. I could see a year in the championship putting him off.

Fucking Stevenage
Our lower league nemesis. Although I guess Sunderland deserve an honourable mention there.

Thank fuck for that.

It's in the bag lads, Uri has us covered.

Howay man, it's about time our luck turned. We're going to smack the shit out of Burnley and then use that momentum to get an improbable result against one of the two Manchesters.
We may as well just fucking go for it at this point.

Times reporting we've offered Lingard in excess of £100k a week on a 4.5 year deal.

Self published presumably because no publisher worth their salt would touch it

Honestly, my first thought was that this kid is going to get an avalanche of shit online (and maybe in person) and that could really affect his mental health.
How old is he actually? He looks like he's a teenager but he mentions dropping out of uni so he must be at least 18. If he's serious about these signed photos then either he's doing a lot better than we think he is, it's gone to his head and he's lost all perspective, or he's having us on. I could maybe actually see the latter.
I agree though, the culture of the city doesn't lend itself to this sort of posturing and people will fall over themselves to put him in his place. There's a way he could do this and be successful, but I'm not sure this is it.

It's amazing. I don't really want to throw up two Steve Wraith comparisons in as many days, but the shoe certainly seems to fit
Hopefully the response will be humbling for him.

Hahaha that's incredible.
I don't see why the Chinese would take issue with it though since their's looks like this: 四

It's unlucky due to being pronounced the same as the word for death. They have apartment blocks over there that skip out the numbering of the 4th floor. And the 13th.
You're also not meant to stand chopsticks up in your rice like rugby goalposts because it looks like the chinese character for the number 4.
That said, I can't see the 4 on our strip

There is that.

If Rafa left Everton and remained available to the end of the season, and we end up going down, would anyone be up for switching Howe for him? I'd be half tempted. Not that I don't think Howe could do it, but if we end up going down then clearly he won't have had the impact on the team that we all would hope - and Rafa has got us out of there before, knows the players already, and was always the plan anyway.
Or has that ship now sailed for good?
-
Aye I looked it up myself in the meantime. My dad is an Everton fan so I was pretty confident it had been a fair old while.
-
It's coming up to 70 years since they were last in the second tier
Not that this proves they can't go down, but I really just don't see it.
-
Everton never get relegated and if they stick with Rafa I really don't see it. How long have they been in the top flight uninterrupted now? Half a century?
-
If this is true, I think we can assume that this is the end of things for our plans for world domination. I wonder if they know they can't have both?
-
I'm starting to wonder if he isn't Steve Wraith wearing a fake beard tbh. Agenda seems identical.

Wait does that mean you temporarily banned Quiff

I am not that fuzzed about getting relegated. It’s Ashley’s legacy. It has been on the cards for a couple of years, even under Rafa. If the takeover had been concluded ahead of a season there might have been a much better head start for the new owners but that wasn’t to be.
Having to rebuild slowly in a lower league might also help to let the fake outrage settle about having rich but awkward owners. They certainly can’t blame us for making things too easy for ourselves.
Might also give the owners a bit of time to settle in with a ready-made excuse for all concerned for the worst happening. I do believe they're going to need time to get up to speed with football, let alone the club itself.

Gutting.
At least they tried but frankly, I think we're stuffed. December is going to be brutal.

I really hope this is one of those inexplicable games where we somehow come away with a victory despite literally everything.

Liverpool and City challenge each year, and sometimes they win it. It would be quite possible for them to challenge each year without winning it though - see us in the 90s as a reference.
All I'm saying is that there is a clearly defined semantic difference between saying we're challenging for honours and that we intend to win them. Maybe that difference is too much for this guy. I would imagine West Ham see their goal as challenging for the title btw. Doesn't mean they're ever going to win it.
