*Shakes head* Everton again.

When Mosh slaps his money on the table, it stays slapped.

[Harry Squatter]

Wonder who the Esk will link them with this summer?

[Jennings]

I hope they build a big fuck off stadium. I hope they improve the transport system. I hope it brings revenue and jobs to Liverpool

 

I hope they finish second to us in every competition.

They actually think them saying our heads our falling off bothers us.

It would bother me if a doctor told me my head was falling off.

Everton

What’s the mood among fans? I’ve never known Everton fans so buoyant – at least not since the 1980s when we were the best team in Europe. The new owner, Farhad Moshiri, and Ronald Koeman have done wonders with the club and players, and this feels like it’s just the start of something big that will be sustained over the next few seasons. With the new stadium at Bramley Moore dock getting the go-ahead too, it’s all looking good.

Happy with the manager? We’re 100% behind him. A world-class player in his day and a successful manager in three countries – what a great figure to have in charge and take us to the next level. He’s straight-talking – if you are good enough and do it his way, you are fine. He has already got rid of some decent players who were not up to his standards.

 

Key players Idrissa Gueye and Morgan Schneiderlin are world-class – but every player Koeman has brought in has improved the team. Tom Davies and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have been given their chances and taken them, while Romelu Lukaku is obviously a world-class goalscorer.

 

Weak links I thought Deulofeu had the skill to make it at Everton, but he obviously doesn’t have the application to match.

 

We will finish … 6th or 7th. Either will get us into Europe.

 

Predictions: Top four – Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, Manchester United; Relegated – Hull, Middlesbrough, Sunderland.

They were more bouyant than this during their first season under Martinez.  I like Koeman, think he was a good appointment for them and they'll probably return to being comfortably in about 7th while he's there. The boy Davies looks good.  Gueye and Schneiderlin world class?  Sure... Everton's main problem, like any team at the lower end of the food chain, is going to be keeping their best players. They won't be able to replace Lukaku if he leaves, for example.

Wrong. They're signing Lacazette for £43m. Done deal.

Just....

 

Oh, fuck it, I'm going there.  In 1985 and 1987 they were the best team in England; that's the best they can honestly claim.  As for the first half of the decade, they were demonstrably nothing like the best team in Europe - although they were close to the best - and after 1987 they were on a poo-spiral all the way to Hans Seegers' bung.

I'd love to know when they thought they were the best team in Europe. They keep telling us they'd have won big ears in 86, yet they managed to win fuck all domestically and watched us take the double.

[Harry Squatter]

Someone on skyscrapercity reckons they'll get 150m for naming rights on top of the 300m it will cost them to put in. Does any stadium have such a deal?

[Harry Squatter]

Because in their minds they would have definitely won the European Cup that year. They've even managed to come up with a route to the final and how they would have beaten Juventus and Barcelona. Only problem is Barcelona didn't win it.

[Chip Butty]

Read that article in the Observer myself this morning and nearly choked with laughter when I read the 'best team in Europe' line. Something tells me Steve is around 25 years of age. 

 

As for the usual 'we would of won the European cup that year if it wasn't for Heysel' They couldn't even win there own domestic League and Cup the following season, which, coincidently was won by?............  Answers on a postcard to:

[jimmycase]

Will be interesting to see how long they can hold onto Koeman for. He's already made noises about managing Barcelona (as one would expect of one of their ex players) and I think he's been linked with arsenal when at southampton.

 

Although i know a few bloos who think lukaku is a 'lump' (their words), he clearly gets amongst the goal. The £28m they paid for him was clearly a good deal and I reckon they'll get upwards of £50m - 60m cash for him. Just how they spend that and who they get in to replace him is easier said than done as we well know.

Well they Were right about heads falling off all along, because I've never laughed my head off as much as I did reading that pile of shite.

I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only an evertonian can feel, an evertonian at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope we can make it across the city. I hope to see a new stadium and new signings. I hope the Mersey is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

[PestiRed]

The bit of "if Heysel hadn't happened" that they always forget is that more than likely Liverpool would have won the final and been in the competition as defending champions. Second to us in the league, second to us in the cup, could have been a treble

You could be describing us there in fairness, we're as low down the food chain as the they are these days, no great difference at all.

[Harry Squatter]

At the end Bill Kenwright tops himself because Andy Dufrense mailed the documents to the FA proving where the Arteta money went.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Well like some other, I say good luck to them and welcome the new stadium to the city.

 

Of course I'm joking I sincerely hope it falls through, after building has began.

 

The odious CUNTS.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Everton are Oliver Twist asking Anderson's Mr Bumble for more gruel, however he is bending over backwards to give them it even though he does not own the gruel. I hope the City become Bill Sykes and Bullseye bites their arse. Moshiri is Fagan, Kenwright is Nancy of course.

[SlugTrail]

I hope they build this massive new stadium, because let's be honest how are they going to fill it. They can't fill their 40k piece of crap giving away tickets. There will be no freebies in a new stadium.
