Ha-ha, I did read it but somehow missed that entire paragraph.

I can see both sides here, I think the article is a little condescending. Nothing to get too worked up about, but again not entirely balanced because it doesn't mention how thin the squad was to start with.

They certainly smell out of place for such a prominent place at the entrance. I hope they are binned off and more permanent facilities are provided.

Outrageous. You tell your old man I'll see him in Morrison's car park for some OAP shadow boxing (weather permitting).

I actually meant to delete that reply but somehow posted it instead. I still think he is just stating broadly the same thing.

Isn't that what he was saying in a roundabout way ?

I think it was definitely the case that he became very disillusioned during his later years at Everton. He seemed genuinely disgusted that standards dropped so quickly from the glory years through mismanagement and lack of investment, and he lost his mojo. I saw him speaking at one of those fan...

He couldn't have a worse name for a strong scouse accent - I still shudder about the way some kopites pronounced Mascherano.

I thought he saved against us, but Latchford netted the rebound.

It is defeatism, pure and simple, and the main reason I didn't want him back. He doesn't believe we can be a top team again.

I think it is perfectly reasonable to dislike the way he left. I didn't begrudge him the chance to move on to better things, but the secrecy and the pictures of him skipping away from Bill's office didn't reflect very well on him. I don't think he is back for the long haul, but I have been...

I think his initial impact on the team and fans is the stuff of legend. I understand why people don't want to afford him that status given his short tenure, but he remains a genuine home-grown star as far as I am concerned. I didn't like the way he left, or his silly antics when playing against...

Oh OK, I thought that the tilted version was to increase the capacity of the South Stand rather than just a design feature, but I am sure you have better knowledge of the details. I had downloaded the original application on my old laptop but it conked out a while ago and I didn't manage to...

It wasn't a massive difference but the original design showed the roof of the south stand tilted higher to accommodate few extra rows of seats. It will be shown in the original planning documents, but I don't really want to trawl through the planning portal. Maybe one of our more dedicated...

Well they did remove the tilt from the original design, which probably affected the lines of the finishing edges on the south stand, so we will never know.
