NewClaret

Not a terrible result for us. Everton were awful but defended resolutely, fortunately.

I still fancy Luton to stay up with their games.

Everton needing points would be far more ‘at it’ than they are tonight.

They don’t look like they’ve got another goal in them. The longer it goes on like this, I can see Luton grabbing a late winner.

Agree entirely.

They’ve been dreadful, bar some good last ditch defending.

Like a game of head tennis at times

Watching these two teams is just the biggest contrast to our style now. Almost like two different sports.

Everton are poor. Rather watch us no matter what league we are in

Don’t think it helps that they’re playing Luton but you’re right, this is an absolute shower

Bit of disrespect for Dyche there calling them a throwback from the 80’s

Could have been a pen there.

More contact than Ramsey’s at Villa.

Would still be fuming if it were given against us, which underlines how terrible the Villa decision was.

Everton much better now

NewClaret

Luton the better team so far.

I reckon Dyche doesn't give much of a flying one whether we go down, stay up or move sideways.

In his press conference in the week he described us as “a previous club”. Didn’t even name us

Like you, don’t think he cares either way now but do think he wants Everton to finish strongly.

Luton have turned up

That is my problem...train fares this weekend from Sussex £129 return. So my two seats will be empty. Was hoping to drive but the wife has other ideas.

Train fares are absolutely outrageous. I’m surprised there’s anyone on them to be honest.

See Stalbansclaret's response above.

Yeah it just seems so random that they come available in batches. Just can’t imagine 17 people suddenly decided they couldn’t attend a match three days prior. If they came available in ones and twos I’d find it more understandable.

NewClaret

I’m expecting the Jimmy Mac lower hospitality area to be full of Newcastle fans. Also seems to be more away fans then home fans in there. The club don’t care who is in the seats, all they care about is the money. The stewards rarely do out as they are underpaid, under trained and can’t speak much e...

NewClaret

Yeah agree, although spurs are'nt pulling any trees up at the moment we might get the backlash off them at their place - Newcastle although nothing to play for are one of the worst teams to play in that bracket as per 2 seasons ago - they always try - never seem to be "on the beach" probably might ...

NewClaret

The frustrating thing for me is that we don’t really know what we need to do because of Forests pending appeal. People keep saying it’s a ‘must win’ and obviously the way to give ourselves the best possible chance of staying up would be to win our remaining three games but if we were to go in to the...

Bizarre. How does this keep happening? Is it an attempt to make it look like there’s greater demand than there is so that people buy?

He actually said 27 as well and started to say 26 then changed it to “whatever” so I don’t think this is relevant.

Interesting words from Nuno today: “It’s difficult. We have been dealing with this situation for a while. We all expect this decision to come sooner so we are aware and we don’t know exactly how many points we have. Do we have 30, 29, 28? So we need to know as fast as possible”. Sounds like they are...

West Ham has a 60,000 stadium and generates £40 million. Newcastle 52,000 and generates £37 million. It's a mute point even they tripled gate revenue it would only be West Ham size....! Let's see how it goes. Everton have to get through next season with a likely diminished squad and a lot of debt. ...

NewClaret

I imagine the plan now is for Moshiri to build the stadium and then sell to the next Sport washers or US franchise owners that would clear the debt in full. Its all murky and Moshiri is fully in on it. The loans by 777 are unsecured, where as the MSP one is secured against the ground. If 777 don't ...

NewClaret

They will time any administration for after the season so that any points deduction is for next season. They’d be far better taking them all this year now they’re safe. Or at least after Luton / Sheff U assuming they win one of those. Get them all out of the way in one summer. There’s a good chance...

If he's fuming it's his own doing for getting his pants pulled down & as for muric being worth £50mil I'm not sure how that's being projected on the back of 7 top flight games where he's failed to keep a clean sheet & apart from man u & Chelsea the quality of opposition hasn't been that vast most h...

There are claret tinted spectacles and then there's preferring Muric to a GK who won the league & cup double twice in Holland (a total of three league titles), the coppa italia and been in teams which reached both the Uefa Cup final and Champions league final. Behave. Not at all. I agree he’s had a...

Is Allison leaving?
Or Could it be Trafford replacing Kelleher, who is highly rated and should be a first choice somewhere.

Kelleher to be sold apparently, presumably wants to be number one.

Unless the whole story is just rubbish.

NewClaret

Muric worth £50 million quid? He was at one of the top teams in the world until they sold him to us for £3 million. Just shows how stupid Pep is.... Well he did sell Cole Palmer, which over the course of his career I reckon will prove to be a huge mistake even at £40m. Maybe Trafford too. Of course...

NewClaret

Some interesting stuff there from CP. “Whoever is funding Moshiri” I could hazard a guess at. Wouldn’t shock me if the same were now funding 777 somewhere down the money chain. Now that 777 have funded the May operating and stadium costs, I can’t see any scenario where they go in to administration. ...

NewClaret

Jesus that's a fair jump every football internet valuation site I've come across as him at around £7million no more than £10million which I think is low myself but it's a fair climb to £50million when he's played an handful (maybe slight more) of top flight games he's only featured since the Brentf...

NewClaret

Whether we are relegated or not, VK needs to pin his colours to the mast early. For me, Muric has to be number 1. He's 25 and is coming towards the peak years of his career. Trafford is only 21 and has plenty of years ahead of him. It would make sense for VK to use his contacts in Belgium in order ...

Liverpool rumoured to be interested in Trafford as a backup for Alisson: https://www.footballinsider247.com/liverpool-have-concrete-interest-in-signing-james-trafford-sources/ Wouldn’t surprise me and I can say I think the “we’ll struggle to get our money back” crew are way way wrong on Trafford.

NewClaret

Muric is a £50million+ goalkeeper. He'd be at home at any of the top teams in the world. Sadly I think he'll be sold and sadly I think it'll be on the cheap. I agree with this. The worst thing about relegation for me is that we’ll likely end up having to sell some players far more cheaply than we s...

NewClaret

We absolutely won't need both of them in the Championship, we didn't this season. Massive waste of resources. I like Trafford and think too much too soon has been a big mistake. Muric playing means we don't have to try and play through a press, so he has to start. Ideally will stay up and loan Traf...

NewClaret

I suspect we may be fielding a £10m - £15m bid for Muric now he has proven himself. In that situation we would probably not stand in his way. You see, that makes me feel physically sick. I honestly think he is one of the best keepers in the league. I’d rate him more highly than Onana, for sure, and...

Muric's presence on corners and crosses has also been a massive plus for us too. He can be wayward but it's still so much more than what we were getting from Trafford. His distribution can be off, but it's high risk so it's going to be on occasion - the speed of his distribution and ability to find...

NewClaret

We were repeatedly told Trafford was picked for his shot stopping ability but Murics has been another level to Traffords since his return, the strange thing is his distribution is what makes us tick but is what's let him down at times. Berge gets better every week as does Esteve. If we could just a...

Think it might only be 2 that have gone.

Why on earth haven’t the club got a minimum purchase history on this game though?

Absolutely crazy in such a vital game for us. I’d rather have empty seats than geordies (who are a nice bunch, don’t get me wrong, but not what we need in a vital game).

For me, the only ways these clubs could be fined as a punishment; would be if the fine is then split amongst other teams in the league. Therefore effectively if they cheat, it benefits their opponents too. That's the only way I can see it ever being stopped. The problem is, let’s say they cheat and...

Surely the sensible option would be to say to any transgressors that your penalty is a loss of say 10 points. But as you cooperated and pleaded guilty that will drop to 6 points. But if you appeal this decision it goes back up to 10 points or even 12 with a further appeal not an option. Some intere...
