Erm Yeh! And he was only sent off because because Liverpool made such a fuss after last week. But what will really swing it for them is they’ll say “Jamie Carragher is really annoyed because another one of his Everton chums has been sent off”

…good.
Karma is like a rubber-band: it can only stretch so far before it comes back and smacks you in the face.

Lets face it,
Evertons whole season is based around playing us and trying not to get beaten,
so far this season they stopped us once and they got a point,
and they got an added bonus of injuring 2 of our best players.
they have achieved 50% of this seasons main aims,
they are happy and content with themselves
now watch there league form suffer from now until the end of the season

Claim precedent. Pickfords challenge wasn’t a red therefore anything of that ilk is by default also not a red.
@Nikola beat me to it. I salute you sir.

If Evertonians truly use that as an excuse, they better look out for the recipically harsh tackles from the oppositions.

Well given what they’ve been saying all week I wouldn’t be surprised to be honest.
And…do we really have to call that twat Hamez for the rest of his playing days. Fcking started with Ginola in the 90s, some pretentious commentator decided it would sound sophisticated to speak in English but then pronounce the playes name in their parent accent. Vulgar.

It’s spelt ‘James’ so I pronounce it ‘James’ not Hamez. I don’t care how pretentious commentators pronounce it.

I actually fid that typically English and disrespectful.
I don’t mean to offend but it is a very “English” thing that is really unpopular in certain circles.

Hamez is how James actually says his name. It’s not actually the English commentator making it up.
He’s Columbian. His parents saw the written form James and say it the way they would say it reading Spanish.
It’s very common in South America to have an English name and say or spell it with a Spanish accent. Example - Daisy is often spelt Deysi or even Deisi.

So just by way of comparison then, do European commentators, break from their parent tongue and pronounce an English players name in an English sounding accent? I dont think they do.
Further still, the amount of foreign nationalities present in the Prem, that are not all properly represented by this accentuation is legion. I dont see, say Polish players, being pronounced with an east-European sound, or for instance Hakim Ziyech, as another example, who is Moroccan. Is his name pronounced with the accustomed Arabic guttural phonemes? No it is not. Is Wijnaldum pronounced with the Dutch twang it is afforded in the Netherlands. We can do this for hours. Minamino is a real tongue twister party-piece.
The truth is the accentuation is a generic Franco-hispanic-latin sounding pronunciation, that sounds really pretentious and is not even actually loyal to the language or ends it seeks to achieve and appropriate. It is quintessentially postmodern, form over substance, lip service in every sense.

I look forward to someone signing a Latin player who pronounces his name Hey-sus.
Best if he is a keeper, mind.
The cunt is named after a ladies handbag,sounds about right.

Actually like I explained about James/Hames they are saying it how James wants/has had it said since he was a baby. They’ve actually insulted the English language if you want to look at it that way.
With regards to pronunciation of foreign names, I know Spanish well, some German, French, Italian, Portuguese so I can have a stab at the right pronunciation without wacking on a thick accent. I think this is the case with a lot of English people.
I’m not going to say merky bowcup for merci beaucoup but I don’t say it with a massive French accent either. Ciabatta in Italian is with a ch not a c. Not going to say sibatta because that’s what it looks like if it was English.
Couldn’t be sure about pronunciation in other languages though.
I also don’t talk this way thinking how much smarter, sophisticated or intelligent I am. In fact I don’t even think about it.

Back to the actual game and I can’t see how they appeal that.
Intention is there for starters.

Two former evertonians as pundits on MOTD2. This will be interesting how they analyse the bitters…
What about the little podcast before the Everton highlights came on. Bitters talking about how amazing Everton are. True to form, they couldn’t do it without mentioning Liverpool. Talk about fucking obsessed!
