Afternoon gents, just here to say good luck for tomorrow although it might be us that needs it on current form. Myself, I think it’ll be a damp squib of a game like the last one. Neither manager will want to give even the slightest amount of ground to the opposition so everything will be...

I reckon questions may be asked if there’s two senior centre halves on the bench and two centre mids at the back. That said, it was done by a manager who’s earned himself enough credit to not have to justify picking whomever he picks. But that’s the nature of a lot of football punditry, it’s...

The first paragraph is largely right. The injuries at the back coupled with key players from elsewhere playing out of position is hurting us badly. We’re still there or thereabouts though so that’s the main thing. I vaguely remember Fernandinho and Rodri playing at centre half but can’t...

Haha...fair tackle. There must be loads though who’ve grown up as Rangers but went on to do well with Celtic. I know Dalglish was a Rangers fan, but didn’t get picked up by them.

The thing here is that players are totally different from fans in that they grew up supporting one team but achieved their life’s ambitions with another. We can’t do that as fans, we have to settle with whoever’s playing in our shirts. Football is such an intrinsic part of our fabric that we...

None of the United lads I know from by ours or in your neck of the woods like Rooney, they never forgave him for the transfer posturing in 2010 just to get more money out of the club. And I don’t reckon there’ll be a statue outside Goodison either, loads of the older heads fucked him right off...

Ah, you’ve got me here then - I thought you were just after Liverpool supporters who played for Everton rather than any media connection. It’s the same in any major footballing city; I’m sure there’s United fans who’ve played for you and vice versa. And there’s the fact that 99% of pro...

Peter Reid, John Bailey & Kevin Sheedy were all Reds who played in Everton’s 80s heyday. There’s more too, they’re just off the top of my head. EDIT: Here’s a few more https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/everton-fancy-dann-liverpool-fans-9363362.amp

Haha...fair tackle.

This is an interesting thread, the division amongst the votes is surprising. If you asked most Kopites who they would prefer to win the league out of Everton or United, most would say Everton. Partly because of our rivalry with United but also because we all have Blues who are family or friends...

That’s definitely a rarity; a Blue who openly admits they dislike United. Thought the days of Gerrard Gardens were long gone...haha! I’ve never had any real beef with City fans and know some home and awayers in real life so originally thought this place would be along much the same lines...

I didn’t say anything of the kind. A previous poster confused me with somebody else, I pointed out as much.

I didn’t realise that the rivals thing was a deal breaker. Fair enough if that’s your thinking.

I haven’t accused anybody of anything. Enjoy your weekend.

Don’t you support Everton? What’s the difference?

I’ve no idea what you’re talking about here. Have a nice day.

Sorry to burst your bubble here but it wasn’t me going on about you trying to blag FFP. Look back through any of my posts and you won’t find any mention of it. Always swerved that line of conversation here, seen plenty of other arguments about it.

All the best, gents, hope you all have a great new year excepting footy success obviously. Don’t get the relentless ‘the title’s over’ chat on here, it’s well up for grabs. If we finish above you, we’ll win the league. If you finish ahead of us, you’ll win it. A lot more twists and turns in this...

It was Hansen & Thompson who were his centre halves. He left in the summer of 81 after the Paris final and Lawrenson came in that summer. Phil Thompson was a brilliant defender but the partnership with Lawrenson and Hansen was another level again in a manner of speaking. Clem’s back four...

Haha...I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what you’re on about here? I remember Molby in court and going to jug but can’t think of anything with Clem. Happy to be put right though :)
