They should have got Everton to negotiate the Brexit terms, they've plenty of practice exiting Europe.

I feel for him.  I like blokes like him.

 

He was harsh saying Everton were rubbish when they qualified for the Champions League because they got knocked out straight away.

 

But to his credit, not one conspiracy theory or mention of the junior team of the city.

 

Bless him.

Bought the Echo for the first time in ages yesterday and it just dawned on me how much I'm fed up of being aware of their existence.

 

Sharing a city with this absolute sporting flotsam but still having to be made privy to their every tedious failing. Every other page I had to flick past their shit, and the fucking colour blue.

 

The headline for their beating by Leicester was 'first day nerves'.

 

It's like having a brother who's a complete fucking bum, and you come home from a night shift to find he's broken his leg trying unsuccessfully to break into B&M. You're like 'I don't want to eat my breakfast looking at his fucking boat' but your mum is like 'oh come on you know he's a bit simple'.

Is that an actual anecdote from your life?

Joking aside, they should have gone to Kirkby when they had the chance.  Building costs would have been lower; there was room to grow; the council would have bent over backwards for them; road, rail, bus and  (probably) tram links would have been excellent; and it's only a short hop from Goodison anyway - it would have moved the club closer to much of its fanbase. 

 

Instead, they were hamstrung by their own petty parochialism - born largely from years of trying to mock us for our ability to attract fans from all over the world - to the extent that crossing a municipal boundary, arbitrarily drawn in 1974, was seen as a step too far.

They can still move there now as the site is still empty but the construction costs would probably be double or more now. 

 

But then they would never be able to call themselves the senior club in the city or say that the city is all theirs because they rent half a floor in the Liver building and shine blue lights at the top of it. That is far more important.

Serious.

 

The Kirkby move wouldn't have catapulted them into the stratosphere - nothing is going to do that - but it would have given them the foundations to be halfway competent.  That chance has now gone, leaving them to sit in a shed and talk about moving to a palace.

I find this...surprising. Kirkby is a 15-minute drive from Walton. I can't imagine Liverpool fans putting up with that kind of dislocation. I guess you could argue they are desperate, but you don't have to be consumed by petty parochialsm to have objections.

I think that should end with "but they are consumed by petty parochialism."

They didn't want to move to Kirkby incase they were associated with a Dave Kirby poem.

It's hardly an MK Dons move.

I'd love there to be an Evertonian  version of Dave Kirby. Hed just go on about Rotterdam or taking his kid with him to the game to punch Lyon players.
