I expect it's going to happen in the next week. We've not seen public pressure against an incumbent president like this, maybe since LBJ, and he had Vietnam around his neck. Biden will be replaced by Harris. There's no way the Democrats can go on like this, it's all anyone's talking about, and with every passing day it's sinking deeper into the electorate's brain.

Don't worry, Marseille are ready to cough up 27m for Greenwood and Saudi will probably buy Casemiro for 75m. Chelsea last season all over again.

Sounds good except they don't wear burkas in Saudi and Arabian coffee is bitter as fuck.

Saka has been consistently our best performer during this entire shitshow of a tournament, so well done. Schar and Widmer both on yellows now, vulnerable to attacks down the left, perfect moment for a pacy winger with a point to prove to come on, so we'll see Gallagher get subbed on for Rice in the 117th minute.

He's a flat-track bully and nothing more, always has been. Good for penalties against Panama and not much else. His movement for the Saka cut-back was beyond parody. It'd be one thing if we were creating chance after chance but half the time he's in the centre circle when the play is going on ahead of him and we fizzle out. Foden is a great player but he has done literally nothing at this tournament. It's time to make a change, it isn't working out at all for him, get him off. Gordon has been desperate to make an impact, much like Toney, we need to consider changes before the 87th minute.

Brilliant game, Turkey deserved winners but it took herculean effort from several of their players. Fair play to Austria but when a keeper pulls off a save like that in the 94th minute you know it's not to be.

Who in turn have flagrantly made a mockery of the same system in question with ludicrous spending that is completely unsustainable.

He's absolute dogshit, let's not delude ourselves. If this is a fiddle to get around PSR then I accept it as the cost of doing business, and no doubt that loophole will quickly be closed since it was benefiting clubs like us and Villa who the big boys can't allow to get to the top table. But if this is in any way us paying actual pounds sterling for Calvert-Lewin then somebody in the club hierarchy needs their head looked at because he is wretched. We'll need another striker to come in to play backup to Isak because DCL is not good enough or fit enough for that role.

Miley has already contributed more than Anderson in a short stint and he's well younger. If we can sell Anderson we absolutely should. He's got promoted side written all over him.

Worst game of the tournament compounded by a VAR farce. Yawn.

Ludicrous call. Maignan didn't dive because he was beat.

12.6 miles. In the States they call that "next door."

Horrendous. Time to ring the changes against Denmark. Take "Trent" out back and shoot him, start Watkins ahead of Kane, and have a quick word with Foden that if he doesn't shape up he'll be back to selling K out the back of a caravan in Oldham before long.

The commentators were yapping on about him being "England's best passer of a ball" so he had to be shoehorned in. Is he fuck More like Ryan Taylor with a different colour shirt.

He's a nothing player, I know I sound ridiculous saying this about a guy with 35-some goals this season but I've always thought he was rubbish. He isn't and never will be a top international striker. He glides through games doing nowt and pads his stats with penalties against Panama.

TAA looking completely lost.

Eddie Howe style answer, which is exactly the tonic. The Tories are in an utter tailspin, heading to total oblivion - no need to stick the boot in, just get on with business and let them self-destruct. In fact have we considered Howe for PM? Tindall could be his mad Home Secretary. The Saudis already pay Eddie's salary so it'll be no different when he gets into Downing Street.

This cunt jumped the shark a long time ago. What must go through the minds of those people behind him listening to that fucking bilge? A shark, a sinking boat, MIT, electrocution...what the actual fuck? And they dare say Biden is senile? At its root it is about the same thing it has always been about, in the USA or in the UK or all across Europe as we've just seen yesterday: a significant (but not insurmountable!) portion of the electorate will vote for anyone and anything as long as it makes the brown people go away. It doesn't matter that this guy is a washed-up former reality TV host scammer and convicted felon who tried to cheat his way out of losing a presidential election. It doesn't matter if he fucked their wives in front of them and moved on to their daughters directly following. He's against the brown people, so every hypocrisy he commits is OK.

Definitely get him signed and another forward as well, especially if we can do it on the cheap. Wilson is only fit for the knacker's yard. We've got to move him on this summer.

Crazypants take, sorry. For one, Biden has been mullered by the left for his terrible Israel policy but that notwithstanding, anyone saying he is "more dangerous" than Trump is sniffing glue. Biden is an establishment politician. Trump wants to be Kim Jong Un. They are not the same. Trump returning to the presidency will mean the end of democracy in the United States of America, full stop, and probably (the expansion of) wars in Europe and the Middle East. He and his cronies have a well-publicised plan to strip the federal government of anyone other than his sycophants and enact a bureaucratic dictatorship, enabled by slates of false electors and complicit state legislatures. But there are still morons wringing their hands over the "cozzie livs" and thinking that electing him is going to bring gas down to a dollar again like it was for a month during a global pandemic, or maybe make the gays go away, or put Jesus back in schools, or whatever delusions they cling to, and this sort of "both sides" rhetoric and that shovelled forth by the commenter referenced above by PL is not helping.

Yes and yes. It has no official impact on his capacity for office, even if he goes to jail. Presidential candidates have run from prison before. He's now a convicted felon, though. It puts paid to the idea that this guy can do literally anything and remain above the law. A jury of his peers found him guilty on all counts, and I expect this is just the first conviction he's going to face. Good day for the USA, still life in the old girl.

Haaland, Foden and de Bruyne nowhere to be found all match. Absolutely wretched. Fuck all the way off. It's our own fault. We should've been out of sight and we dropped too many points in the final week of the season.

What were those rank camo track jackets the Man U players were wearing? Fuck's sake

Reflects negatively on Man U, we can't have that. I can't imagine there's a single clued-up person in the world of football who's looked at our trajectory and Man U's and figured he'll swap one for the other, so they must be getting ready to pay him the big wonga. Hope he'll enjoy losing half of it in the inevitable legal battle when we sue him for breach of contract.

Bowen is a brilliant player, I wanted us to sign him back when he was at Hull but that would've cost 6m or something so of course the FCB couldn't stump up the pocket change from his settee. DCL sums up Everton perfectly for me. He should stay there forever, only coming back off the treatment table to score 4-5 vital goals a year before getting injured again whilst they finish 16th. Certainly he should not command a transfer fee at any future club he plays for, anyone paying for this sicknote needs their head looked at.
