Stam massively set back his career by talking him up way beyond his ability. It definitely appeared to go to his head. Couple of anecdotes about silly Billy big bollox behaviour etc Shame as he was ace first season with us Delighted he seems to be over it and playing well again. He did boss the fin...

The Football’Insider’ Article reads like someone has just taken what is already in the public domain and slightly rewritten it. There’s nothing new, comments about the approval taking ‘2 months’ are just what had been speculated already. It’s yet another pseudo journalist pieces with no original th...

I remember reading one bit of the Football Insider article where they seemed to misunderstand what's been said, which would have completely thrown out their timeline.

I think it was regarding some element of due diligence, which I understood Howe had been doing prior to announcing exclusivity,

No, because there's enough evidence out there to suggest things are moving forward.

Don't care enough about Oxford to hate them. They've been irrelevant for 40 years.

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

Lol. I'm hardly taking about hospital visits but you knew that.

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...

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.

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

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...

Bur everyone hates the Old Firm.

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...

No "Shit not given" option so Ian Royal it is.

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...

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 ...

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. I don't support either team I just go by my observations and experien...

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...
