I'm all for having a laugh at the Blues as a collective for having what appears to have the potential to be a serious handbrake on their ambitions in their side, and I've nothing against having a laugh at the Pickford scenario in the match/league threads and with mates, etc, but I wonder if we should perhaps be better than having a 39-page thread dedicated to this topic - or at least the laughter at an individual's expense aspect of it? Yes, lots of Everton fans are concerned and want rid; yes, Pickford's own demeanour does his reputation no good; yes, the results of his errors offer us amusement; and, yes, critique is fair enough.
I'm reminded of a few interviews from last year, about footballers 'hearing' the abuse -
Luke Chadwick and
Peter Crouch spring to mind - and how it affected their mental health.
Just wonder if the joke's gone on for long enough now...?
