a Prince fucking Albert would be a more appropriate symbol for them at the minute. a great big blue one with a tattoo of the toffee lady on it

 

and it could fire sweets out of it's japs eye

Everton mints are lovely

[Harry Squatter]

It's that shit tower block that used to be at the front of Lime Street. Concourse House I think it was called.

I really hope (in a weird way) that the stadium move comes off for them.  It will actually raise expectations and remove some of the excuses that they have traded off for so long.  They don't seem to realise that for the stadium move to come off they actually need to fill a fucking dock in, get planning permission, raise money... The Echo were talking about £300 million last week - it cost £323 million of public money to convert West Ham's stadium into a football stadium.  And that was a stadium already in place!!!

 

As for Saturday, I expect to lose every Anfield derby to them as they haven't won one for so long.  Although Henderson and Lallana will be big misses for us Coleman and especially Schneiderlin are bigger misses for them.  If they bring Barry in the tempo will be far too quick for him.  And, if you control Lukaku you effectively stop Everton.  They couldn't handle Spurs intensity the other week and 3-2 flattered EFC making it sound much closer than it was.  I'd take a scrappy 1-0 every day of the week though.  Preferably with an outrageous decision in our favour that they can talk about for the next twenty years.

Stop speaking sense.

what is really funny about that banner is they have used the lfc stylised liverbird...

 

if they used like the city council one for example or an older one or like on the liver buildings it would still be shite but at least the city badge...they are using our badge there just in blue.

Precisely.

[Barrington Womble]

From this

 

 

"I think we should have a silhouette of slippy on his arse, with Nelson from The Simpsons in an Everton shirt stood over him just pointing with a caption saying haha...

Maybe just outside the stadium, best to leave Goodison to the Everton legends like Dixie to over shadow them lot using just their legendary awesomeness.

No to the blue liver bird though. Let them keep it as a symbol of what bellends they are."

 

To a slightly more reasonable reply

 

"Whatever the history ,it has become unarguably their symbol . It is synonymous with them worldwide, as sad as that is, it is an unavoidable fact. If we attempted to appropriate it's use at this,(historically speaking), late stage it would undeniably

make us appear petty , slightly pathetic and well ,bitter.

In any case we have our own symbols of which I for one am justifiably proud. Why lust after a tatty mickey?."

 

Tell you what though, I didn't even know that tower was called Prince Ruperts tower. I love how much they actually think they matter. I'm not a massive anti-blue at all but they really don't know their place. 2nd club in the city.

What is a tatty mickey? Even their sensible fans are tits.

 

 

Would anyone be even slightly arsed if Everton used a blue liverbird on their stadium?

 

I'd imagine not, personally.

I'd love them to use it. Especially the one on that flag. That's an LFC liver bird. One the council adopted. The liverbird of the 1800's looks like a dead duck.

 

 

 

Isn't the city's all ours our song from when they couldn't wait to be the Tesco sock robbers?

Oh dear. A clue may be at the bottom of the article.

 

Everton Academy director Dr Peter Vint has left the Merseyside club after only one year in the job.

 

Vint, recruited from the Team USA Olympic Committee, has made a sudden and unexpected departure days after he announced the appointment of a new head of Academy coaching. There is no official explanation at this stage for his exit beyond the American being allowed to pursue ‘other projects’. However, there was no suggestion a change was imminent when Vint oversaw more additions to his department last week.

 

Only six days ago the director publicly welcomed a new head of Academy coaching Dave Adams from Swansea. The club's press release stated this was ‘following an extensive recruitment process led by Dr Peter Vint’, with Vint adding the new arrival ‘will be a tremendous complement to our coaches, to me and our Academy management team’. Less than a week later, Everton are seeking Vint's replacement. 

 

“Peter has left the club to pursue other opportunities. We wish him the best in his future pursuits,” the club confirmed.

 

Vint moved to Everton last season in what was intended to be a forward-thinking measure to ensure the club secured one of the leading sports science experts.

He was headhunted by Everton following his work in the United States where he was senior director of competitive analysis, research and innovation for the country’s Olympic committee.

 

His appointment came at a time when it was intended he would form a close working relationship with former manager Roberto Martinez. However, Martinez's demise in the second half of last season followed by the appointment of Ronald Koeman left the new arrival looking isolated in his role before he had settled into his office.

 

There have been murmurings at Academy level that Vint's lack of football experience was creating a challenging and at times difficult environment in the junior levels.

It is known several specialist football coaches at Goodison did not particularly agree with some of the changes he was introducing.

 

In an interview with Telegraph Sport earlier this season, Vint acknowledged his methods were a break from tradition and he was encountering cynicism.

 

“I have experienced a bit of that,” he said. “It comes from some uncertainty and curiosity and perhaps even some discomfort people have about having someone who comes from such a different background being put in this position. Who is this guy? What does this mean? Is he going to ‘Moneyball’ us?” 

 

Earlier this week Vint’s teenage son took to social media to claim he was signing for Manchester United rather than heading to Everton’s youth set-up. The 15-year-old later deleted the post. Everton's coaches were aware of the youngster and had not been particularly impressed with him, but Goodison officials are adamant that is not related to Vint's departure.

Everton's current head of operations at the Academy, Joel Waldron, is in the frame to fill the vacancy.

Just seen this on FaceAids. Might try and catch a few tiddlers with it.

 

"So it's derby week which sees the bitters try and finally put their Anfield hoodoo to bed. They surely have to win at some stage but will this weekend finally be their year?

 

Here's what we've seen since Kevin Campbell famously provided Everton with their finest hour of the last 2 decades...

 

There have been 4 US presidents

 

4 UK prime ministers

 

5 Olympic Games

 

4 World Cups

 

13 X Factor winners

 

3 new PlayStations from Sony

 

Liverpool have won 11 trophies

 

84 new Everton stadium announcements

 

9 New England Managers

 

And 28 Heavyweight world champions

 

Let's just say it's been a while.

 

And of course they were cheated out of all of those games..."

Can you reply and remind him that Funes Mori. Well Funes Mori.

What's his prediction for Saturday?

What's his prediction for Saturday?

 

We've not spoken about it since I said they "had to be favourites on form" about a week ago and he turned green.  I'm very much going to take the "well you're due one" stance.

 

Expect it'll be the talk of the office tonmorrow

[Bobby Hundreds]

The city is all theirs. I dont even know what that means.

[Tony Moanero]

Imagine if the Everton goalkeeper wore this shirt nowadays?

 

[Paulie Dangerously]

The city is all theirs. I dont even know what that means.

 

I'm assuming they mean the Dock Road

[The Acolyte]

This is what I don't understand. He obviously isn't as rich as everyone thinks. He just doesn't want to put any of his own money into the club at all yet is viewed as a messiah.

Remember the money he used to buy his stake in Everton was acquired by selling his shares in Arsenal to that Russian. Probably at an inflated rate.
