Should Everton try to adopt a ‘big club’ approach in the transfer market or can they learn from the model used by the likes of Brighton & Hove Albion? It’s a hot potato that @gavinbuckland1.bsky.social wanted to grasp 🔥🥔 www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...

The greatest of all football writers is no more. Brian Glanville had died, aged 93. A model, an inspiration, a mentor. Addio, Brian.

Gavin Buckland @gavinbuckland1.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

In 1974, with Keith Botsford, Glanville produced what I would say is the greatest piece of football journalism ever - the exposure of a decade of corruption involving referees by Italian clubs in Europe, incredible

Brian Glanville RIP. The King of Football Writers. As the recently departed Patrick Barclay wrote, 'Most football writers fall into two categories: those who have been influenced by Glanville, and those who should have been.' Simply the best.

Gavin nails it . Throw in sub conscious bias and it's why 14 clubs rarely get fairness

Gavin Buckland @gavinbuckland1.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

on basis that referee decisions are about having the least consequences should you get it wrong then awarding a pen against Man U - massive club etc - has greater consequences than not awarding one to #efc so go with latter. VAR just gives another opportunity to make it happen

Great #EFC read @gavinbuckland1.bsky.social . Captures the start of the decline post ‘87, the pervading culture that meant we were left behind and some poor decision making. Highly recommended

So Doucoure scored fastest goal - for #efc first-team at 10 secs (previous Kendall @ 14 secs v Chelsea in Mar '70) - in first-team game at GP (was Colin Clarke for Bournemouth @ 11 secs in Sep '85) - but NOT fastest in GP history, still David Johnson in FA Youth Cup (Dec '69)

The great Paul Newman 100 years old. A bloke once tiled the motor racing driver Brian Redman's house in Blackpool. He thought he recognised the man sitting on the couch. 'Didn't I do your roof in Nelson?' 'Pleased to meet you,' came the response, 'My name's Paul Newman.'
