Can we take a moment to laugh heartily at Everton?

Tom Davies looks like bloody Jimmy Saville in the first one! What a couple of bellends!

Lol they look like they work in Shoreditch. That said, Ian Walker was doing stuff like that back in the 90s lol

 

[Gassin's finest]

Footballers today... no idea of style.

You wouldn't catch the proper football men of the past dressing up like berks...

Says it all the DCL looks normal next to Davies.

And what are they hoping to achieve with it anyway - attracting more hipsters to Everton matches?

"Oh yaah, I was eating toffee before it was cool, y'know"

"I might wear red to the game this weekend, but do it, y'know... ironically?"

"I might bring my typewriter to the terraces and do a match report, but do it from, like, the ball's perspective, y'know?"

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Tom Davies on winter break in New York.

I’ve been trying to work out who Tom Davies looks like. It’s Tony Beckley in Get Carter. The guy who played Camp Freddie in The Italian Job.

DCL doesn’t actually look too bad, it’s a style.

But Davies wearing a dressing gown, oh dear..,

Nice of Sam Allardyce to lend DCL one of his outfits before he left Everton

It certainly is. I believe it's called nouveau-tramp.

Everton have had a planning application approved for a 52,888 seater stadium. What's everyone think? Looks like a bit of a missed opportunity from this image. Kind of like the bottom half, but it seems the architects got bored and just whacked Generic Roof Number 3 on the top.

I think it looks pretty nifty.

 

[Spursmatty87]

Looks pretty boring tbh.

 

[cider spurs]

Think it'd look better if they moved it to the right a couple of hundred yards.

 

[VegasII]

Looks a bit league 1 tbh.

Still, I’m glad they’re getting a new one before those lunatics at Anfield do. That lot will probably dig tunnels and chain themselves to the railings.

This is class/terrifying:

He should be a teacher. No bunking off

 

[spursfan77]

This is class/terrifying:

Fuck me he looks good for his age doesn’t he. He’s 49. Absolute psycho though obviously.

This tickled me. Carlo suggesting that the Premier League prioritise punishing the six teams who try top break away (which of course Everton and their owner would never have joined...even if invited) and don't expend too much time and effort investigating their possible breaches of financial fair play.

Everton’s Carlo Ancelotti wants Premier League to prioritise punishing ESL clubs

Carlo Ancelotti has said it would be laughable for the Premier League to investigate Everton over possible financial breaches without punishing the six English clubs that signed up for a European Super League

The amount of stick we get from the ,media and rival fans yet these lot get away scot free. What a pathetic season yet again. No europe to contend with, spent over £500m in the past few season and yet still only managed a 10th place finish.

Football 365 actually nailed it pretty well in the final day conclusions.

That 5-0 finish rounds off what is in the end a crushingly disappointing one for Everton. September and October promised so very much but their home form was catastrophic and they fell away horribly. Finishing behind West Ham is just undeniably bad, as is failing to land above either of the north London basketcases. Everton have a fantastic manager and have spent big. Limping home ninth given the struggles of some of those above them really shouldn’t be acceptable. They should strive for more than this and be judged by higher standards. However much we might all enjoy a laugh at Spurs’ attempts to cling on to the coattails as members of a Big Six that looks flimsier now than ever before, at least they got themselves in there. Everton haven’t and look no closer after a season of wasted opportunity.
