The aim at Everton is to surely be challenging for the league title by the time we play our first game at BMD, otherwise why spend all this money and bring in a top manager?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They really do set themselves up for a massive fall, don't they ?

Yep, especially as they're going to have to 'spend all this money' again, and they have very few players actually worth selling to fund that.

Yep. By accident or design it’s high up there in a growing list of what they’ve done really well. 

 

Those identikit 70,000 seater bowls are for other clubs.

Totally agree with that, but genuinely think they should be careful what they wish for with regards to a new stadium anyway. There’s a few clubs who’ve struggled after building a new ground. I see Wenger has finally come out and said Arsenal left their soul at Highbury, which has been obvious for some time.

The Dell is another one. Used to be a right cunt to play at. Tiny pitch, fans right up on top of you, 30 plus years Southampton were a constant in the top flight, and regularly used to beat top clubs down there. Relegated pretty quick after building St Mary’s, and effectively have Faithless playing at kick off to try and build an atmosphere.

 

In a parallel universe where one of these stadium wheezes they keep being sold did actually exist and come off, you could see plenty of reasons for it turning out to have been a terrible idea. Whether luck, design, penny-pinching or otherwise, I often thank fuck FSG decided to keep the club at Anfield.

I think you can add West Ham to that list and possibly Spurs in a year or two

Upton Park was a proper little ground.

Yep, nasty when the natives were restless. 

 

Was it Upton Park or the Boleyn Ground I can never remember ?

The proper title was the Boleyn Ground, Upton Park.

It took a manager as good as Klopp 4 years  to get us to the position we are in today with a lot of very decent transfer business I might add .

If Everton are going to challenge for the premier league it certainly wont be under Ancelotti unless he sticks around for at least 6-8 years minimum. 

The absolute delusion of most of them on GOT is truly outstanding as I've said before BMD is not happening and this appointment will only hasten that pipe dream .

[Harry Squatter]

Everton get Ancelotti as manager but they still can't bring themselves to buy the Echo to read about it.

[Anubis]

Ancelotti reduced to a small square by the Red Echo.

[Bad Red Bull]

Not a Lotti covered in the echo about Ancelotti

[Guest Pistonbroke]

The Echo missed a trick there. They should have had a big Pizza style picture on the front cover. 7 slices with various photos/headlines of our victory and one slice with a photo of Carlo.

The front cover equivalent of their place in the MOTD running order.

Had a hell of an atmosphere when you were in the away end for sure. I once bounced around there to the sound of Stringvest fulsomely praising Lucas Leiva...true story.
 

Refused to call it The Boleyn Ground, was always Upton Park. The rest of it was just Marlon Harewood turning up on the pitch in a taxi level trying but failing to add gravitas.

Read them yesterday going on if Moyes got the in the champions league the Ancelotti can get them back there. 

 

Does it really count if you lose the qualifier. 

 

 

Anyway they're forgetting they got there on 61pts. You need 72pts plus most years, 61 won't get you Europa

Some funny scouse accents down Goodison way....

Ha! I reckon Stringvest really loved him under it all. I was in our end there for an easy win in which Torres knocked in a couple I think.

Lacks ambition.

If they get Cl football under him I'll post a picture of my dogs tits, and she has 8 nipples.

Lampard going a bit more defensively.

I always said I didn’t want us to leave Anfield, it’s a special place.
