Plus they got a shitload of money, her daughter worked in my office. Her Mum kept 100 grand in a suitcase under the bed after she sold the house. Amazed she never got burgled as she didnt move that far away from the ground with the payout. 


‘That probably the money the got from the ‘whiprounds’ the blueshite used to do, a couple of their fanzines organised it to stop the sisters from moving.

Trent / Arbeloa

Carragher

Xabi

Stevie

Would be similar for me but if we're counting all modern era I'd put Suarez in instead of Torres.

 

4-2-3-1

GK: Ali

RB: Trent

CB: Sami

CB: Virgil

LB: Robertson

DM: Xabi

DM: Mascherano

CM: Gerrard

RW: Salah

CF: Suarez

LW: Mane

 

Bench:

Reina

Arbeloa

Carra

Fabinho

Milner

Maxi

Torres

 

Full backs really pushing on and getting well up the pitch as almost nobody is getting through Xabi and Mascherano and then also beating big Virg and Sami.

He was always falling out with the board over money to spend on players. 

 

I think Smith probably thought he couldn't have him on the board as he wasn't a pragmatic businessman and that he would constantly clash with other board members who would be accused of knowing nothing about football. 

 

Also Bob Paisley wanted his own players so imagine him going to the board asking for money for a player then Shankly disagreeing with him or suggesting other players. Would never have worked out. 

"They're there to sign the cheques".

It would have been interesting to say the least, but you are right, it would never have worked out.

Shanks was a complete one off, adored by players and fans alike.

It was a real shock when he left 47 years ago, but what a man and what a legacy he left.

It really is fucking amazing the number of people prepared to give everton fans the benefit of the doubt all the time.

 

Just been reading a few comments in the torygraph and yep, couple of comments 'how do you know it's everton fans not Liverpool fans doing this?' and 'could be Liverpool fans'!

It's not Liverpool fans because a) we don't give a shit and b) we also have a much better manager,in my humble opinion.

Fucking hell - what a match day squad!

 

I’d have Hendo and Dirk in place of Milner and Maxi, but Sami over Carra if both at their peak.

 

Suarez doesn’t qualify mate - it’s just the current and 08/09 nearly men.

 

Just thinking now - can you imagine a peak Sami and Virgil partnership? Jesus

Yeah but Evertonians don't blow up buildings, push walls on people, smash up coaches, send death threats to everyone, push people in fountains and get beat up by Sevilla fans.

They will play the Gerard angle. Family threatened etc.

They’re already ahead of the curve on that one

What I take exception to are hypocritical reds using this as ‘outrage porn’ when they’ve done far worse to Gerrard, to Gillett, to Hodgson etc. I think somebody robbing Carlo’s house was worse than some vague threat on a banner.

I really want it to happen.  The slow burning car crash that would inevitably happen would be sweet to watch.

 It's almost like art how every season the pain gets exponentially worse for them.

 

You think to yourself surely things can't get more shit for the sad twats but year-in year-out it does. Fate gives them all the tools they need for success but then destiny meets them in the nightclub, roofies them and leaves their dreams looking like a painters radio. 

 

2 CL winning managers in succession and yet chances are you'll never live to see your team play in the competition, let alone ever be in with a chance of winning it. That is absolutely taking the piss. 

 

And then imagine the equivalent of going to a Liverpool match and seeing slur in the dugout, the mental shafting is actually painful to imagine.

 

And then deal with the reality that he's actually your best chance of winning a trophy. And then, if you do win a trophy you'll have his face indelibly imprinted on every vid clip and piece of memorabilia as part of your history. 

 

Good times.

And, this already in itself a flight of fancy barely more realistic than winning the jackpot in Vegas, if he did win a trophy it would only ever conceivably be the league cup. So when you tout the massive achievement selling your soul has brought, the neighbours you permanently compare yourself with just smile and raise the most important club trophy there is over the fence.
