From Despair To Where? Lol. I'm hardly taking about hospital visits but you knew that.

If I were a child I wouldn't want Pickford to come and visit me in Alder Hey.

BTW do catholic priests still get in free at Goodison?

Sigh, I wasn't talking local people supporting Liverpool, clearly they are in the majority by virtue of their success, and I know more Liverpool fans than Everton fans, I was talking about the clubs and their engagement with the local community over and above just being the local football club. Eve...

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 club's engagement within the community. There's banter in the run up to the derby but the...

got to ask, Vic: Liverpool or RFC? It is a long story that I took the trouble to post once on here before. Because the two clubs were always in different divisions any question of split loyalty never arose but on the night of March 11th 1970 I had travelled down to Southampton for a job interview ,...

I love that the agent had the cojones to send an unsolicited invoice for £800,000 without a formal contract in place. And he seemed genuinely surprised when we didn't pay it I too would like to try my luck invoicing random companies for ~1 million pounds, you never know :lol: :lol: There was (and p...

It’s not just England. There’s no glamour appeal in the art of defending to us British any more. I suppose Cole, Terry and Ferdinand were top class but I can’t think of another one since them. Even potentially top class youngsters who start out as defenders (Rice for e.g) end up being converted to ...

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 away......and you have done the opposite. BTW Everton were always the big spenders and thought to be the more glamoro...

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...

We can't just do a Brexit and get rid of it when everybody else uses it and it will be used in European Club competitions as well as Euros and World Cups I genuinely don't understand why not Because football is a worldwide game? Should we perhaps make the goal bigger so that we see more goals or wi...

Feels very shortsighted to me, just getting rid. They just need to vote or putting strict rules in place on how/when it can be used and even applying a time limit i.e. if you spot nothing obvous in 30 secs, the decision stays as it was given on the pitch. Removing it will just see PL clubs playing ...

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 experiences from living in the area for nearly a decade. Newbie interloper. :wink...

I'm on record as one of Southgate's biggest supporters - but his selections in recent times have become more and more frustrating. Maybe summed up by the fact that James Tarkowski - ranked first in the PL for aeriel duels won and blocked shots, and second in clearances, playing for the best defence...

Everton do a fcuk of a lot more work in the community than Liverpool so they do take being the "People's Club" quite seriously. 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 d...

You are comparing something halfway through a season (in December no less) to the penultimate game where a title outcome would become a certainty depending on the result. It's completely different, not even remotely comparable. If the Spurs vs City game happened as regularly scheduled months ago, t...

Let's see shall we but it would be good to have it all sorted well before the start of next season which is just over a couple of months away-that is why the "months" concerned me. Yes Stranded there has been a lot going on between us and the EFL but not for the right reasons so let's hope...

This probably merits a thread of its own? By the way, a bot OTT about "many years developing the player" when his early years were away at Chelsea and City. He was only with City for a year. With us for four. On checking, I see he was at Arsenal for a year as well before 7 years with Chel...

Football Insider says the Chiron deal is just about done expect EFL approval which is expected in the coming MONTHS-let's hope it is more weeks than months.

Just another £200,000 for the club to find.
It needs a lot more than my season ticket renewal to cover this latest tale of woe.

By the way, a bot OTT about "many years developing the player" when his early years were away at Chelsea and City.

My voices are tell me that the new owners will be used to model next season's kit when it goes on sale this Friday when the long awaited takeover will be announced. A photoshoot took place at a secret location in Dorset recently and will also features Ricky Gervais. Regarding "recently", ...

When has it happened previously? 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...
