I shall be at the Amex on Saturday as Mrs Thing is an Everton fan… and finally get to see Kavanagh in the flesh.

Are you on purple watch again?

1/3 chance methinks..

No doubt those odds will reduce dramatically if bmb makes some pleading remarks on here!

I have submitted a written plea on your behalf TTFL. I said given the success of the lush purple last weekend you are desperate to see it on show in your game again this coming weekend. That was what you wanted me to request wasn't it?

Can we put the moderators on moderated posts please? 😂😂😂😂

Surprised there is only var involvement for the english contingent.
I guess that with only Oliver in the champions league final group games it probably says that our officials are not in favour with uefa.
I guess the pgmol going their own way on guidelines and interpretations doesnt help either.
