Former players, pundits and supporters piled on Neal Maupay after the striker trolled Everton following the club’s defeat to Nottingham Forest. Maupay, on loan at Marseille from the Blues, took to social media to joke at the expense of Sean Dyche’s side.
He wrote on X: “Whenever I’m having a bad day I just check the Everton score and smile.”
It was an extraordinary comment from a player technically still owned by the Blues - though Marseille have an obligation to make the deal permanent in the summer.

Life has a habit of sorting out these pricks.

I hope that the new people treat him with the contempt he deserves/has earned. Jumped-up little prick.

Maupays contract with us is up in the summer.
I doubt very much he will want to extend it, or even be offered one, once his loan at Marseille has ended, so we wont be seeing him again in a blue shirt, gracing the turf at BMD.

Such certainty in an uncertain situation - 'We will have ... We'll have. ... '. The new lads know who they want in. They new owners will be great for us.
Let's just wait, see, cross fingers, and hope.

On loan with Marseilles having an obligation to pay, not an option...

He got absolute pelters here and is giving it back - so what?

Still a Cnut though. I replied on the original Twitter that it wasnt his fault - we thought we were buying the other one, the good one - Trossard.
14 Posted 30/12/2024 at 19:28:56
He, was needless to say, like anyone else, the target of moans and groans when he did something wrong. But I cannot remember a single match when he was the am of significant targeted booing. I could be wrong on this and wait to be corrected.
I remember him getting flak after the Euston episode but he also acted like a twat.
A twat is a twat is a twat.
Anyone who can respond 'so what' to this might as well hang out with Maupay and swap stories.

16 Posted 30/12/2024 at 19:56:10
I'd advise him to get rid of this PR company as his 'public perception' takes one hit after another. Barry R might do a good job for him!
17 Posted 30/12/2024 at 20:17:31
Then followed up a minute later with, “*championship”.
The Versailles born Verne Troyer (who, just like the actual pocket-sized Austin Powers actor, perfected the art of not pulling his fucking finger out) is obviously still deeply scarred by a dystopian Goodison stay that saw him deprived of the sort of love and adulation he so clearly deserved after clocking up one goal in 32 games.
Either that or hes still just really, really pissed that his plucky, self-proclaimed ‘Shawshank Redemption style escape from Everton was actually caught on camera:

If true, be nice if Neal said it to Tony's face.

I saw Mickey Walsh's one league goal for Everton too.
26 Posted 31/12/2024 at 08:43:30
Youd hope that perhaps their shortcomings could be compensated with some integrity and class whilst being professional.
I wonder will this madness ever end? Its the Emperors New Clothes isnt it? Its not Maupays fault that he behaves like a knob, and becomes a multi millionaire on the side.
Whos the mug? Its me isnt it for taking an interest and writing this.
27 Posted 31/12/2024 at 09:14:00
99.9% of players are drones who say nothing, at least Maupay has some balls. In fact, isn't that something most of us would want in a footballer?
In a world where people are terrified of showing any personality, at least he's got the front to be a c**t. I kind of weirdly like that in a person.
28 Posted 31/12/2024 at 09:43:38
I too remember Mickey Walsh scoring at Villa, wasnt there though, he got a couple in the Eufa cup too, his brother didnt cover himself in glory years later though did he as our DOF?
Maupey has always been a wind up merchant, he did a job for us when he came on against Arsenal when we were winning 1-0, got under the skin of the Arsenal defence,
still a c**t though.
29 Posted 31/12/2024 at 10:19:05
I find it strange that a lot of us defend DCL for having to lead the attack on his own, Beto and Broja finding it hard as well yet we expected a much smaller man to do better in that strikers role than he did.
I thought he was played out of position and obviously did better at Brentford in a different role scoring and assisting the other strikers. I think he is a natural nark on and off the pitch.

Part of the reason we're in the position we are in is that some of our recent signings have not been very good, or even worse, haven't displayed sufficient character to help us, for a not insignificant wage.
Ring any bells, Neal?
Yet another blot on our history.
35 Posted 31/12/2024 at 23:42:11
Cack House, and over rated when at Brighton, and sadly, Everton got soused, for an excuse of a footballer.
History doesn't lie and Maupay was and always will be, well out of his depth, as a human being, and not worth the shin pads, ad a footballer. Grade A, ale house player stealing an excuse of a living as a professional footballer!
One of the worst frauds bought by Everton. That's saying something!
The positives are don't give him no more air, internet time, and Everton FC learn, improve, grow and get better.
Let him burn him self out, as he will with his sewage pipe gob.
UTFTs!

Sometimes arrogance can be very funny, maybe non Everton fans would find Maupay funny too, he certainly didnt upset me!
39 Posted 01/01/2025 at 10:28:19
I recall Frank Lampard saying they wanted to bring in a striker not to cover for Calvert-Lewin, but to complement him. Unfortunately Calvert-Lewin was hardly ever fit enough to play leaving Maupay to plough a lone furrow up front, a role for which he was never equipped.
40 Posted 01/01/2025 at 10:36:18
Lester was a true great, I think his deafness made him be a bit less talkative, but as you say his one liners were very cutting. I had a leg in a horse a few years back and we had it with the trainer Alan Bailey who had the old Eric Cousins yard in Tarporley. Alan owned a horse called Pickles, and he booked Lester to ride it at Chester. I know Alan had a fair wager on it and Lester got it home by a head. Alan said F***** hell Lester when did you think you were going to win that, and Lester replied " when you booked me for the ride 3 weeks ago".
I thought Lester was harshly treated when jailed over tax evasion, to think what some Government ministers have done since and not spent a minute in jail. I also think to remove his knighthood was wrong. I think Charles St George one of the owners Lester road for paid most of Lesters barristers fees.
41 Posted 02/01/2025 at 00:12:53
The irony is, he's exactly what we need. If we'd used him as we intended to, he'd have had much better results. It's unfortunate that Calvert-Lewin broke down when he did, because Maupay played off of Calvert-Lewin would have been extremely effective, and he's exactly the kind of nasty the club's lacked for a long time.
We'd do well to ignore him.

43 Posted 02/01/2025 at 10:41:03
I hadnt heard that story about ballys horse, he liked his horses.
I don't know how Lester survived as all he had to eat was a piece of dry toast a glass of champagne and a cigar.

One I remember was after Spurs beat Liverpool 7-2 on a Easter Monday was “ One of their goals was offside and if Jimmy Greaves hadnt scored four we would have drew 2-2” I laughed at that, mind you I think he might have been serious!
50 Posted 02/01/2025 at 22:16:56

I remember, many moons ago, reading an interview with Alex Young. In the first training session he had with Alan, Bally produced a pass from nowhere to lay on a simple chance for Alex to score. Bally shouted “Weighed in”, and a great friendship was formed.

Cruyff led Liverpool on a merry dance in Amsterdam and was pretty od at Anfield.
Peter (54);Alan Ball did have a horse named Goodison not sure if it was the horse I mentioned though.
