Gomes can't wait to get back to Finch Farm

Let's hope we get a chance to see him in action in the not too distant future. Until then, stay safe everyone and good health to you all.

Surely with 5 games left at Goodison that’s over £150 worth of matches gone, and half season ticket holders that purchased will have been even harder hit in the pocket.

Let’s be frank, there’s no way fans will be going anywhere near matches again until next year, this virus will not be something that simply goes away, even if it slows down in late summer early autumn, we could well be back in the same boat this time next year, it will continue until a vaccine is made available that is going to control it like the flu.

No way can clubs not reimburse fans that bought season tickets (many even already renewed for next season).

Clubs need to remember that people need some quick resolution to this situation, whether football returns in August or not, it will not have supporters at the stadiums, so the people in charge need to come up with some satisfactory results to help the paying fan that have been hard hit financially.

Difficult one Jim, I’ve already paid for my ticket for next season, if this season drags on NEXT season might be shortened as some are suggesting. Complete mess.

The money's already gone and if you estimate 20,000 season ticket holders with an average of £100 left that could be £2m to a really deserving cause.

“Let me show you what you could have won”, and give them a papier-mâché cup as well.

In the rain.

On Jim's point about Season Ticket's and the probable absence of fans from the remaining matches - most clubs will probably offer some form of 'free' access to whichever media platform is showing the matches as compensation. I don't think that they have a duty to reimburse us as the ticket always remains the property of the club and has strict terms and conditions attached.

I have heard on the grapevine that those accross the park are intending to charge their fans a surcharge of £50 a game for non attendance - just a rumour like but we would't put it past them and it would help to fund their non-playing staff?

I can’t see it being much different in August, they aren’t all of a sudden going to allow thousands of fans at matches in autumn lets face it.

This is about until a vaccine is there to reduced the fear factor that people have now about this illness and reduce the numbers, allowing fans back to matches this year would be suicidal.

I can’t wait to buy you another desperados now mate, so let’s just hope everyone stays safe, because we’re gonna need a good laugh, once we get through these depressingly morbid days.

It’s Good that Brian, it would definitely do for me, and it would also show the rest of the country what genuine scousers are really all about!

I don't really care whether they win it or not now or how. People are dying, people who wouldn't otherwise have died through ongoing health problems so those fuckers getting handed a cup is of no importance in this world whatsoever, and neither are they.

Lastly mate. You know I'm not a "genuine Scouser" (being from over the water and all that) but the fact that you refer to me as one I'll take as a huge compliment.

That's about 11 Desperado's now between you and your Dave........

An Everton supporter goes to heaven, and St Peter shows him around. They go past one room, and the man asks: "Who are all those people in there?" "They are the Man United fans," says St Peter. They pass another room, and the man asks the same question. "They are the Aston Villa fans," says St Peter. As they're approaching the next room, St Peter says: "Take your shoes off and tiptoe by as quietly as you can." "Why, who's in there?" asks the man. "The RS," says St Peter, "and they think that they're the only ones up here."

Funny article here that sums everyone's opinion of 'that lot' up:

2019-20 Premier League Season “Should Be Cancelled” Say Unbiased Fans

On another thread I mentioned that there had not been and HYS threads on the BBC Sport /Football website, since the RS " Furlough" announcement had been made.

Last night one was opened about the extension of contracts at the end of the season.

However, 90% of the posts are about LFC and their Volte Face on the "Furlough".

Of the 90%, 99% are disgusted with LFC's original action and are saying the reversal is merely prompted by shame and the public reaction.

Own goal well and truly scored and - no forgiveness evident.

Any goodwill they had has, I believe, been lost and any attempt by the football "authorities" to now award them the EPL title, will, I believe, be met with an equally negative public backlash.

With regards Gomes, more than anything the club needs a proper coherent fully functioning midfield. For years we haven’t had the right players or they have been misused.

I want a more organised midfield unit and Andre Gomes can be at the heart of it. In order to be an indispensable part of it he has to raise his game and raise his fitness. I think Gomes is capable of both, he has the core skills and strength. He needs to push himself to improve and Carlo and his coaches needs to help him to achieve that.

Part of his success will be down to who he is paired with in the central midfield. He needs that Gana / Kante / Makalele level of quality DCM for him to really flourish. It highlights on of this seasons biggest problems for us. Losing Gana and then his replacement. I’m hoping Gbamin makes a big impact, but Carlo will know we need a reinforcement there. It’s such a critical position relying on anything other than Gana level top quality will see us suffer.

Gomes still has a bit to prove, if he is to be at the heart of Everton's midfield.

Right now Heaven would be walking down the first fairway of Las Colinas in Spain after hitting a 300-yard drive, miles past everyone else. Sun on my back, all's well with the world.

And knowing that the season had been declared null and void 😂

I see what you mean. And still the RS try to justify their actions..

A German businessman on lockdown in a London Hotel decides he needs some female company so he taps one of the porters up for any suitable women. The porter gives him a telephone number and he arranges for a reasonably priced visit to his hotel room.

When she gets there, she tells him the price and he agrees. He asks if she would be prepared to wear certain items and blow a duck caller whilst having sex? She agrees for an extra £50.

Out of his suitcase, he gets some springs and a duck caller, he secures the springs to her hands and knees and asks her to get down on all fours and start blowing the duck caller. He kneels to her rear and couples up, then he starts bouncing her up and down and they keep going until they both reach orgasm.

"That was fantastic!" said the woman "I've never had sex like it, I can't move, I am in ecstasy."

He said: "Yes, you can't beat the German Four Spring Duck Technique."

Could the Club give each and every Season Ticket Holder the choice of either forfeiting to Charity, or having the remainder of this season deducted from their Ticket renewal for the following season? That way it would be fairer for those who are not so well off.

Poor Gomes, it was a thread all about him yet as per usual a diversion has seen it go on to something else. I blame you Jim B. :-)

Good or what?

As for Gomes, love that guy and this prolonged rest will do him good. Get properly fit and ready for when we start again. For me, hes a quality player and cant wait to see him playing again. Added to that the work hes done in the community, he seems like hes loving it here on Merseyside. Top player, top bloke

Ken, good 'un... but Len, I have to muster up my courage here and admit that I didn't understand yours.

Brian's idea of charity is a good one - maybe we could set one up to pay the rs non -playing staff? They had no qualms in trying to fleece the taxpayer so are unlikely to pass up the opportunity of taking advantage of a charity!

It was an interesting interview.

Charity begins at home; look after your self.

Wake up, people, you're being scammed!

Andy, past age 60 we become "can't hold your water" Scousers.

Glad to see you're doing okay and still posting!

Your post is an insult to those who've died and those they've left behind.
And you're a tit!

In these times of unrest and chaos caused by corrupt leaders of the world only time will tell because the truth will eventually come out...

Some people say the premier league is currupt that VAR has cheated the teams below the 6 elite. Are they too tits.

Modern day FootbalFootball players don't live in the real world so I have no time for there nonsense.

As a sport when played to its best its a great form of entertainment. But thats all it is to me like a good movie or TV series I do not idolize any celeb or get caught up in the mya of it all.

Great positives, too, about Andre Gomes. Top guy!

If this season, with its terrrible refereeing, dubious after-the-event reassessment of goals, penalties and the rest was consigned to oblivion, it would be no bad thing.

On another topic, I hope you're wife and children are all okay, is there any news when they will be home again?
