Good on Frank Lampard for actually giving proper answers. Furious doesn't accurately describe his feelings; he's put Chris Kavanagh firmly in the line of fire. "I don't want an apology from the Premier League, it means nothing. At best it's incompetence. At worst? I don't know"

10 points is an absolute disgrace. Everton are fully justified in launching an appeal and it has felt all the way through that there has been an ambition to make an example of the club.
