I could see a situation where the government decides that waste water no longer needs to be cleaned before people drink it and United Utilities quickly becomes unnecessary. They then quickly come knocking on Josh Wander’s door offering the land to Everton.

That 14 game run was a tough iternary at a time of utter chaos behind the scenes. I think Dyche has done a superb job. He’s not as outwardly loveable as other managers but he has my respect

Looking the other way it does look like a good 10-15 seats would have been significantly obstructed by the old Park End.

Is there any particular reason we’ve discounted rail seating as an option for the South Stand at a time when the other teams are going all in on this? Are we simply holding on and waiting for the English safe standing guidance to move beyond one standing fan per seat as per German regs? I’d...

I’d give one of my left testacles for us to win tomorrow

I think we'd have found 1001 reasons to back out of Kings Dock and even if it did happen it would have been revised down to be a 35,000 frugal and featureless effort judging by how unambitious we were at that point

Claudia Street was in a really poor state by the 1980s. I still recall a friend still had an outside toilet. A social landlord / cooperative redeveloped the estate that you see today. Here's Claudia Street just prior to redevelopment.

is there a possibility that next week’s extraordinary Premier League clubs meeting to discuss Parachute Payments for the EFL got more than one agenda item?…

I was just thinking: if we got 10 points for tipping over by £19.5m whilst building a stadium, imagine what penalty a team that properly tried to take the piss would get?

I worry that what kills us with this appeal is the desire to keep Newcastle from becoming a force in the long-term, hence why Ashworth is bailing already. If they give us 6-8 points back it becomes an incentive for them to do a strategic breaking of the rules to join the closed shop

Thought I'd prove you wrong by googling "Everton comeback 2023" and all I got were people posting stories from them playing football manager on their computers....

I don't think we need to worry. A bloke in the pub told me that in the event of any global warming sea level rise there are plans in place to block up the Mersey between Bootle and Vale Park and let the north tip of Wirral take all of the excess water.

It won't be Tuesday as the league won't want to look like they avoided an announcement in the lead up to the game.

Masters baiting us here

Haven’t seen the words “don’t punish the fans” since the ESL was temporarily paused.
