• Since our CEO said that the club had put together one of if not the best "Transfer Committee" possible they seem to have been gazumped by Southampton and lost out trying to do the same to Crystal Palace. It does seem that most of the blame lies at Palace's feet but it does take two to tango....

• Paul @ 97 and Mike @ 53, great posts. Over 40% of office worker report mental wellbeing issues - stress, anxiety and depression. The issues always existed but there was stigma and shame about admitting to them. The big challenge is making people feel comfortable in speak up and asking for support, particularly men. 5300 men commit suicide daily in the UK (14 per day), and men account for 75% of all UK suicides, therefore let’s move away from cliches, jokes or stupid assumptions like higher earnings make you happier or immune from such challenges. They don’t. ...
  Steve Brown in Dwight McNeil’s partner criticises Crystal Palace after move collapsed
• No John @ 110, I think the problem is mainly with your perception or your fellow Evertonians. They are allowed to critique the club, the manager or each other without you calling them lousy....
  Steve Brown in Dwight McNeil's move to Crystal Palace collapses
• Patric - that video you linked of Cai Jones is really worth listening to all the way through. That young fella’s head is full of ideas. I actually posted it on the other thread earlier today not realising you had put it up on your article. Listening to young Cai a thought came into my head (believe it or not). We have an academy for young prospective footballers. Why don’t we have an academy of coaching and management? I reckon that young fella understands the game of football and he and others like him, are a talent that is worth tapping into. Which conveniently leads me into a response to Mark’s #4 post. Some great managers of the past produced teams of champions by tapping into young players, Busby, Catterick, and Ferguson come to mind. If Moyes doesn’t play George and for that matter Dibling (who is left footed) now that Grealish is out he most definitely needs a “personality transplant”. I feel sorry for McNeill for the way things have turned out for him in ...
  Laurie Hartley in What will Tyrique George bring to Everton?
• 'Keyboard warrior' Kearns (12): 'The internet gives me the freedom to spout off whatever I want without any repercussions, especially since it's just my own opinion anyway'. No it does not. I love the idea of the 'internet' as something that gives - what? - immunity. Not that many of us need reminding of this, but this is, needless to say, a false statement. In terms of this site in particular there is a process of moderation that does include potential 'repercussions'. More generally, internet activity is subject to legal process, intervention, and possible prosecution and punishment across national borders (i.e. 'repercussions'). #2 and #12 (et al) are in my opinion 'disgusting' and revealing about our own self-proclaimed 'keyboard warrior'. It is also simply an opinion to write that social media is not really a place for the sort of message posted by McNeil's partner. It clearly is and it seems that some people do not like or are uncomfortable wi...
