Not listening to this guy again.Anyone that lauds an attack on a hospital and repeats IDF figures of "Hamas"killings without question is not fit to be called an analyst...more an apologist.

When are we getting Brady part 2 eamo?

Hi Eamon with the repeated reports of Everton being docked 12 points for bad management.... with 1 financial charge against them. This would surely relegate a once great club. Is the penalty overly severe considering that A. 2 years ago 6 clubs were set to leave the league for a European Super League and they got off with a Superficial small fine compared to this penalty facing Everton? B. Man City have 100+ charges against them. ... and no consequence as of yet? C. FFP makes big clubs bigger
