    I dunno. I think Mourinho would probably keep them up.

    Based on his career successfully battling relegation? And his stated* desire to not do a relegation battle?

    But, technically, yes I think Mourinho is sufficiently effective to give them a fighting chance.

    *Yes, he lies.

    It feels like that to me...but I must be living in some sort of alternative uniuverse. On the radio they are banging on about how these are good players, and Dyche was playing with the handbrake off. Okay, might be true (although isn't Ashley Young still a starter!). But didn't the previous few managers demonstrate this accumulated bunch of players are absolute gash? I don't remember Dyche having money to spend. What do they think he is? Harry (not graham) Potter?

    I was talking about Leicester. Everton have significantly better players - centre halves, some of the midfield, Ndiaye ( although their full backs are also shit).

    Or to get them zero points from their remaining games. Not sure there’s much middle ground.

    They could do worse than Rob Edwards.

    Didn't realise Everton are playing tonight. Weird to sack him on a matchday.

    It's on iplayer if anyone is interested.

    Isn't this the game where 39-year-old Ashley Young is lining up against his 18-year-old son?

    I've some chatter about this being some sort of first, but, I'm sure it happened when we had Ian Wright Wright Wright vs Citeh in the league with a young Shaun Wright Philips featuring for them.

    Unless I'm making that up, obviously.

    Already ruled himself out. He's found a league that's as mental as he is and they seem to be enjoying each other.

    RvN is a curveball no one saw coming in tbe interim though. Gone by March.

    Percy is reporting they are looking for a couple of cheap full backs in January and they could get a points deduction on Monday. Could be gone by next weekend.

    What's the full back thing about?

    Their existing ones are shit. But it seems like papering over the cracks, as all their other players are shit as well.

    Justin James shoe shop seems to be the new boo boy now Coops has gone. If the Thais gets a replacement in it'll keep them happy for another fortnight.

    I don’t think it actually happened. I remember going to a game at Maine Road where it was a possibility but only Ian played.

    Looks like Young Sn and Young Jr have both started on their respective benches.

    Young snr came on - Posh fans were singing 'you're just a sh!t Tyler Young'.
    Young jnr didn't - and apparently Fergie jr got abused by some Everton fans for not bringing him on.

    I like Moyes he should stay away as the Blue Scouse financial dopers should go down... That would be lovely... (Although Wolves...Fester...)

    Chicago: Hoping the dour Scot see's sense.
