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...

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.

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.

From being generally regarded the biggest and best stadium in the country 20 years ago, OT is looking really shabby, run-down and old-fashioned. https://i.postimg.cc/X7rWpWx7/waterfalls.jpg Glazernomics, running the club into the ground!

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Probably makes us favourites to make the final. Which is frankly crazy. Entirely mad end to a mad season. Incredible given Elliot, Savage, Ehibhatiomhan, Bindon, and Craig are all young enough to be in the U21 squad on age. You can add Dorsett to that list as well along with Vickers and Abbey from ...

Re: Weekend Football

It's very apparent that you are all speaking as fans of a team that has no hardcore rivals. Arsenal fans are saying that if the shoe were on the other foot, they'd want to lose too.

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Seen a few articles blowing smoke up Spurs' arse because their U21s topped the league.

I know I'm biased but surely the real story is the cash strapped League 1 team who are now in the semis and are offering a genuine path to 1st team football.

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Indeed, but the Everton fans I speak to don't believe it can happen to them and therein lies part of the problem.
