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 ...

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! Fergie ran a profit on transfers in the period the Glazers to...

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 ...

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. I completely get it My Dad grew up in North London and has supported Spurs since he was a kid. He texted me yesterday...

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.

Rangers shit the bed and all but hand Celtic the title. 13pts dropped in 8 games.

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

I always remember the old story about how Bellshill, a small town in Lanarkshire with a population of less than 20,000, was the birthplace of a disproportionately large percentage of Scottish internationals. Turns out one of the main maternity hospitals serving East Glasgow was based there. Gipuzkoa...

It's just nice that, for the first time in years, we're retaining a decent core of the squad and talking about targeted signings before the season is over rather than being left with a 7 a side team and scrabbling around in the bargain bucket in July after every one else has had their fill.

My original post was more about the reaction of Everton fans and how I'd heard the same arguments about us for about 5 years. I think they've got their heads in the sand. They need to trim their wage bill and I think they will struggle to recruit adequate quality next season because they will be lab...

Bit harsh to call Convey hit and miss. Ok it took him a while to settle but then he was brilliant until the bad knee injury that he never seemed to fully recover from. Hardly his fault. Genuine q - what does hit and miss have to do with whose fault it was a player wasn't consistent? No one is blami...

I think with Convey he took a year to settle, and in his third season, we didn't miss him because Hunt really stepped up and Seol came in and was massive. I thought Seol, for all his faults, was a huge player. We were a hard working, well organised side and he just threw in a huge dose of flair int...

Wasn't Emerse Fae a record signing at the time? I could (and am most likely wrong). He again was hit and miss, some really strong games, but mostly powderpuff. Yep, but he was a last resort. Sidwell was gone and we knew that was happening, but all the players we had lined up to replace him (e.g. Sc...

Stranded Being reported that Hull have just sacked Liam Rosenior, which seems ridiculous, but nothing is surprising in football I guess.

Well that's just fcuking mental.

Wasn't Emerse Fae a record signing at the time? I could (and am most likely wrong). He again was hit and miss, some really strong games , but mostly powderpuff. I think you were mistaking him for someone who wasn't Emerse Fae. He was utterly spineless and only played 8 games for us. To be fair we s...

Lita, Asaba and Convey are all a mixed bag. Lita was quality in 106, and a small spurt in the first prem season, but he never really performed consistently and ended up failing. Convey - FDTW has summed up perfectly. Asaba actually did ok in a poor team, and was only here 1 season, but didn’t meet ...
