Without more detail, these figures are meaningless. They need a lot more context before they can be used to judge the quality of the Academy. In the first decade of the Premier League, my wife worked with Everton, the PFA and a few other clubs, dealing with the educational needs of the (then)...

There used to be a morning sister paper of the Echo, called the Daily Post. That was considered the "blue" paper. The Echo has always leaned towards the OBEAONs. Obviously, there is a relationship between club and paper, because the journos want to get exclusive interviews and news, but there's...

I'd prefer them to get 7 points, and come 20th ;)

Sadly, the Echo is deadly serious when it comes to Liverpool FC. They fuel the delusion of the fans.

Although what he said is correct, I'm not sure why he bothered to mention it. All the individual awards in football are boll*cks; nothing but worthless trinkets voted for by imbeciles. If you want individual awards go and play tennis, or golf. The only medals that matter, are those you win on...

Offended By Everything, Ashamed Of Nothing

I'm expecting City to win the Prem more comfortably, possibly by about 6 points from the OBEAONs. Spurs will come a comfortable 3rd, and then Arsenal, Chelsea and Utd will battle for 4th,5th and 6th, with not a great deal between them. With the signings that my team are making, I'm hopeful that...

HA HA HA ...... I do, but it's a long running gag I have with my son. It's such a long established habit that sometimes I do it automatically without thinking. My apologies.

Not sure that Jesus or Rodri are in the strongest XI yet ........ Surely Fernandinho and David da Silva would be playing instead.

The first women to ref a man's game .......... Bollocks, I've been to several matches with women as the ref, off the top of my head, I can remember Amy Fearn being atrocious in her pedantic manner of controlling a game.

They're all bitter t***ts, every last on eof them. I don't know how the BBC, Sky and BT Sports do it. Where do they find all these OBEAON c**ts ?

Pep may be in the conversation for all-time greatest manager, these things are so hard to evaluate. By all means chat about it on here, but please don't discuss it, or start bragging about it in public. That's the sort of c**p the OBEAONs and the Rags do, with their endless boasting and loud...

A word of warning. Don't try and engage the guy in conversation on Twitter ........ He's a total numpty, a weird OBEAON of the highest order. For example, amongst other gems, he suggested Milner was a "great pro", a "top footballer" and was "a hero". Totally deluded.

You should try being an Evertonian, and having to live and work alongside those lovable Kopites every day.

There are lots of different types of captain, and some merely toss a coin at the start of the match. What you need, and what "wins" points are leaders. Kompany was a leader who also happened to be the captain. I'd suggest, given his personality, he'd have been just as inspirational, still been...
