Their walk back into town, during the winter, they’ve been beaten again, and it’s pissing down - because there won’t be enough cabs to go around - will be quite something.

 

To regenerate an area, it’ll need a damn site more than one busy weekend every other weekend, bar the odd early entry and knockout of cups, to regenerate it.

The Tai Pan is gearing up for things with a pay and display car park. Unless they all decide to march down from the Red Brick en masse, from county road, of course. 

 

It’ll get on their tits.

I drive past there everyday and I honestly cant see what how exactly they are going to regenerate that area.

apart from the titantic and that boozer, its just warehouses and  a few businesses on 1 side and the docks on the other.. There isn’t even loads of empty small places they can turn into boozers.

The only possible option is that next rd up 

 

It may look good from the waterfront but behind it,there is nothing.

And that’s a good half hour walk into town before you even get to the 1st boozer.

My mate and his Mrs were out in town Saturday afternoon and went to some pub opposite the aloft Hotel. Its a weird bar that would be more at home on that street where the blob shop is or opposite central station is as it has the racing on and shite cheap beer for people who go off their heads if they have to pay more than £3.50 for a pint.

 

He was sitting outside when the place erupted around 5.00 and they all started sing that shite Spirit of the Blues song and jumping up and down then starting off into a rendition of "we don't care what the redshite say".

 

My mate just said to one of them "I thought Liverpool and Chelsea were playing tomorrow?. What are you all celebrating?". He gets told that they've just beaten the mighty Ipswich away yet they are all celebrating like Liverpool have lost a cup final or Everton had secured a memorable victory against some top level opponents. But no, they beat Ipswich and the place was bouncing but still singing about Liverpool. Fucking weird.

In fairness, they had just held on to a two-goal lead; it's a big deal for them.

If all Evertonians go the game, why the fuck do they need a bigger ground theres enough seats at Goodison if they all go already. Also the shit load of blues who I know including family that don't go. "We go the game" it's such a fucking bonkers thing to say.  Every single week more liverpool fans go to the game than Everton fans that's just a fact, a simple truth it's the very essence of having a bigger ground. More United fans go the game than Liverpool fans because that's how that works. We go the the game.. no you go the game alongside millions of people across the world every week.

That’s classic them, whilst on the same weekend, bittering about Liverpool over-celebrating beating Chelsea.

 

I genuinely think that’s a big part of their psychotic reaction to yesterday - how often do they win away and can wait to see how we get on against a good side?

 

It means that much to them to post, text or crow that “never felt more like singing the blues….” 

 

Then we go and beat Chelsea and the pathological lies come out to self-comfort.

It's going to take at least ten years for anything of any substance to get built round there. The snails pace that anything gets developed in Liverpool will also play a part. Peel won't finance anything and will just want government money to build even a portakabin. 

 

This idea that they'll suddenly be able to hold concerts for the biggest artists in the world and will transform their team is pure fantasy. 

 

They will also invest nothing in the area themselves but expect everyone else to stump up the cash.

even something like the coaches. When they are at home they park all the way along priory rd.

Presuming parking will be restricted around the ground..where exactly are they gonna go?

I wonder how much planning has actually gone into this?

What coaches, the whole crowd comes from County Road (which is a 10 minute walk apparently) and there'll be so many of them that there won't be room for away fans. Obviously all other fans around the country will be gagging to see the new stadium but it's tough, they'll see enough of it on the telly once they become champions of da werld.

The Lock Up.  You're right, it's completely incongruous in that location.  For some reason it's marketing itself as a "drunk tank", rather than just a boozer named after an old drunk tank (which features on the shirts of a load of old drunks).

 

I like the Archibald Leitch details inside, though.

To be fair some of the work on that stand is shocking.

 

Brickwork looks like yosser hughes has done it....the claddding in places is shoddy as fuck and they still haven't got window sills in places.

Ben Godfrey (Everton to Atalanta)
Versatile defender Godfrey left Everton for Atalanta in the summer but only has one appearance in Serie A this season, which came as a right wing-back.

Unfit for two and an unused substitute in Atalanta’s other five league encounters, the 26-year-old does not appear to have made the best move for his career. But at least he’s far away from Everton.

I reckon Evertons ground will have similar issues. Cost cutting and hiring shit cheap people.

Even the most placid Evertonian can’t contain it. My bird will watch the Liverpool match with me and say “I hope you’se win” and I say the same with Everton games unless it’s against us and I generally mean it. Fuck me she can turn though when I laugh at them. Had MOTD on on Monday morning early and she come down and said “how long have you been up for?” I’d walked the dog had brekkie and it was about half 7 “not long enough for you lot to be on match of the day yet babe” “oh fuck off” 

 

 

Slags me off on the family WhatsApp group
