Ancelotti obviously won't be in a job much longer if things don't turn round. After spending £70m, if there is no improvement in the near future then Roman & co will be on the look out for a replacement.

Can't really understand where its all went wrong for them TBH.

has been for some time - I know there is some decent teams beyond the top flight, and leeds are clawing their way back up, but Yorkshire has been a top flight wasteland for quite some time

Indeed, some may clutch at very thin straws and say Boro' held Yorkshire aloft in the top flight, but that is probably nonsense geographically!

I think Leeds have got the bit between their teeth and Hull look to be stable now with their owners, wouldn't mind seeing these two in the top flight, again.

We had the best manager in the world. We got rid.

If they'd have tried to score another goal in the last 5 minutes instead of trying to run the clock down by time wasting and running into the corner, then the plastic fantastic fans wouldn't be whining about the refs again. 6,000 Evertonians at Stamford bridge, compare that to the 2,000 Chelsea fans at Goodison. Big club my booty.

You're the ones who are obsessed with the size of the club.

It makes you feel really good when you're sucking off Man U fans to know what a huge club they are.

Thats the closest Keithcun will ever get to saying something nice about Everton, so enjoy it

Bit gutted to see it's only 1-0 to Utd on return from work. If theres non-league team that deserves to get bum loved in a cup tie it's these bent buggers.

I'm afraid that's what happens when you have a club that is riddled with arrogance and big egos from top to bottom.

All that money, yet Roman doesn't possess an ounce of class or even a speck of a football brain. To make things worse, he surrounds himself with people who know little about football and make terrible decisions like driving the Special One from the club, which was clearly a ridiculous decision.

Think I'll go with the opinion of football pundits and reporters than yourself on that one.

Yeah what's that all about? I was in and out making tea during the build-up and heard Southgate something about Crawley's owners being shrouded in 'mystery'. Average attendance of 1800, where did the other 10k come from?

Really like Smalling, with the right nurturing he's got the ability to fill Rio's boots when he calls it a day, lot of similarites in their games too.

Agree about the Anelka/Cole missing pens, only thing missing was a Drogba miss
