Liverpool Mayor Writes Nutty Letter To The FA Calling For Investigation Of Ross Barkley Transfer

Everton Fire Ronald Koeman, Who Really Fucked This Up
There are a few easy ways to define the worst team in the Premier League. One of them is to find the team with the least amount of talent. Another is to find the team most likely to get relegated.

This scourge must be stopped....
Oumar Niasse, Everton's Outcast, May Have Saved His Manager's Skin
