Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Well, that doesn't sound like good news for Everton.

Re: Weekend Football

Perhaps you mix more with Everton fans. In some ways Liverpool, by virtue of its success, has become a worldwide club but that doesn't mean that the people of Liverpool no longer support their local club, far from it.., even if it is seen as "belonging" to people far and wide. I have no g...

Re: Weekend Football

When did you last live in Liverpool? I moved down south from Manchester when I was ten. If I'm honest, that's not my experience of Everton fans at all. They know Liverpool are the bigger and more successful club and they judge success very much on their own terms and, yes, they are proud of their c...

Boo.

Leeds could play a team of convicted paedophiles and I'd cheer on the paedophiles.

Re: Weekend Football

As I said, I have no allegiance, just making neutral observations. It obviously means something to SCR so I'm happy to concede.

Re: Weekend Football

I don't support either team I just go by my observations and experiences from living in the area for nearly a decade. Newbie interloper. :wink: My experience of the area spans over 60 years. Wasn't it the late, great Bessie Braddock who said something about people of Liverpool always wanting to get...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

It does feel like the club were playing a bluff, knowing that the clause would never pass muster legally and could never be included in a written contract. It does seem a bit harsh to be penalised for something that was never activated, and in all likelihood was never going to be included in a contr...

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Is there a points sanction for entering administration while in the PL? If so I presume Everton fans will have more "unfairness" to whine about next season. Wasn’t there some rumour that Everton were going to try going into administration now to avoid the points deduction next season beca...

Re: Scottish premier league.

Do Celtic fans also have affinity with or a soft spot for Hibs, or is that seen as a rivalry for the same kinds of fans? (or nothing at all and I don't understand Scotch football!) No, they regard the rest of Scottish football with equal disdain, unless they're trying to buy their best players, in ...

Re: Scottish premier league.

8) I like to think you're with Despair on this. You think I'm a Celtic fan? LOL. Dunfirmline all the way. Hate both the Old Firm Teams. What may appear to be negativity towards Rangers is purely down to the fact that they are miles behind what, this season at least, is a functional but unremarkable...

Re: Weekend Football

So have Liverpool always done but don't feel the need to shout about it. Read my post again. Have re-read-Liverpool have always done loads in the community but don't feel the need to adopt a self-proclaimed nonsense nomenclature. I don't support either team I just go by my observations and experien...

Re: Weekend Football

I wouldn't call it tepid. It has become a little less antagonistic because for so many years now the two clubs have operated at different ends to the table and that looks likely to be the case for some time to come. BTW it is only Everton that somehow think that they are "The people's club&quo...

Re: Weekend Football

Anyway, just trying to lend a different perspective so maybe we could have a bit of a different conversation other than "lol Spurs" all the time, and I thought I presented a pretty well-reasoned argument. I'm sorry none of us can understand a football rivalry because we're not proper fans...

Re: Weekend Football

eh? This season Everton played at home to Man City. Everton were in a mess and in danger of going down, but Liverpool were top of the league on 42 points that day. If Man City won, Everton would have known it would help to stop Liverpool win the league. Were Everton fans hoping for Man City to win ...

Re: Weekend Football

I guess, as one of the traditional "Big 5", when you've only won 2 league cups in 30 years, you have to take the little victories wherever you can manufacture them. Must be galling to spend 4 decades playing second fiddle to your big rivals. Replace "2 league cups" with "1 ...

From Despair To Where? The agent's been suspended for 6 months so it Olise moves this summer, he's kind of oxf*rd himself.

Ban starts in October so as not to interfere this summer.


Fair enough. That will teach me to just read the headline.
