18th November Everton fans cheer despite having the blues

 

A cloud of confusion hung heavy over the blue end of Stanley Park today as Everton fans tried to cut through the confusion of how their club could be found guilty of spending too much money, and yet still be as s*&%e as they are.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure, life long Everton supporter, Toff Eee, revealed, "I think it’s a disgraceful decision. Anyone who has had the misfortune to own a season ticket for the past few years will know that there has been absolutely no benefit whatsoever on the pitch despite the excess money we have spent. I mean signing Dele Alli hardly turned us into world beaters did it."

"I woke up this morning to find us second from bottom of the Premier League after the deduction of 10 points for breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules, which is apparently not allowed if you are not owned by an oligarch, an oil magnet or the owner of an NFL franchise."

"I am just hoping that next year, when we have our new stadium down by the docks, some of our opponents don't realise we have moved and still keep going to Goodison Park, so that we can claim a few points be default."

Thankfully for Everton fans given the current form of Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley, the three teams that were promoted from the Championship last year, there is no bettter time to be hit with a 10 point deduction and still see that Paddy Power and Bet Fred are still offering a better than even chance of not being in the bottom three come the end of the season.

6th May Olbia

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

Image
 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
