What is being an Evertonian like?

Three in four Premier League fans want VAR scrapped, new survey finds The latest FSA survey also found that nine out of ten Premier League fans believe VAR has made football less enjoyable.

The fans know how much damage VAR has done. They know what the only solution to it is. Maybe we should listen to them for once?

The IOC's New Policy Isn't Really a Trans Story Every headline says the IOC banned trans women from the Olympics. The athletes who’ll actually be barred are cis women who’ve never heard of the SRY gene.

The AP's story on the IOC's new policy mentions that it "also restricts" athletes like two-time Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya. That word "also" is doing a lot of work. New piece on who this policy is actually about: www.readtpa.com/p/the-iocs-n...

Do you lads know anywhere which has the Hyde/Cables goals from last weekend? They’re missing off the NPL goal roundup.

I subscribe because it isn’t current affairsy. Much more a fan of whimsy these days.

These are great!

Great, thanks Alan.

Hi @sepinwall.bsky.social. I’ve been watching The Leftovers for the first time, and just started season 3. I enjoyed reading your old uproxx episode recaps post watch. Sad to say it looks like they’ve recently been removed. Do you know if they are still available anywhere online?

totally agree. And then the 8.30 film actually starts at 9, so it's not finishing 'til 11, so you're home for 11.30 on a school night. Not ideal for old people like me. Petition to start more film 6.30-8pm.

We’re 13th instead, which if we’re honest is a more accurate reflection of the quality of this team.

Why does nationality matter, anyway? Deciding someone's legal rights based on a nebulous combination of birthplace and parentage is a bit weird

"We grant people different rights based on their genetic heritage and on which scrap of land they happened to be born on. That’s mad, isn’t it?"

I just think, when debating immigration and so on, that we should try not to lose sight of the fact that "nationality" is a made up thing.

I’ve got the notifications turned off. They just wind me up!

Nothing sinister! ThePieman was complaining to me earlier this week about the video footage of the arrest so I was alerting him to a longer read on the topic.

Haha, loser

Good piece but one note, Thelwell didn’t overspend. Everton had the lowest net spend in the league whilst he was there. It was previous Directors of Football who spent all the money (Steve Walsh & Marcel Brands).

Definitely should be more classic TV at cinemas.

@thepieman13.bsky.social would watch this multiple times.

Great writing this weekend, really enjoyed your pieces.

but have you considered that sometimes people speak Polish to each other? And who's to say which is worse?

Thanks, fingers crossed FWP gets sorted soon.

@nplchat.bsky.social what app do you guys use for scores etc now that Football Web Pages has fallen over?

See you tomorrow night Luke, glad to hear you’re looking forward to it!

@nplchat.bsky.social can we have @luke1983.bsky.social do a Ben Elliott special podcast please?

Top 3 areas with biggest room for improvement haven’t been addressed. Bit of a shocker for Everton this summer.

Enjoyed the show as always but lads you’re going to have to stop just saying ‘Warrington’ and use Rylands and Town so we know who you mean.

Can they also post a route to a free ATM?

Rules are rules I’m afraid.

31 mins of ads/trailers for Jurassic World rebirth at Cineworld this weekend.
