They literally brought him back so Bournemouth couldn't have him any more

That's what they do

They essentially hold good young players like Ake and Loftus-Cheek to ransom, just to stop other clubs from having them

At least at Everton we actually try to integrate our younger players and let them move if we haven't got plans for them

I haven't kept count, but rawk closes their hate Everton thread after a while and opens a new one under
a different title. I've no idea what the aggregate is, but they've got plenty of haters.

To be fair, they close it out of respect for certain things, such as our support of the H'boro campaign and if somebody dies, it does get renamed from time to time, but their current thread was started in 2014, as much as we love to hate them, they are quite respectful on the main, I feel that should be noted.

Not all Liverpool fans are murderers but the one's, that were in Heysel Stadium that fateful and took part in hooligan activity are.I strongly believe in the right to call Liverpool FC and their fans out on what happened at Heysel without fear of punishment.39 lives swept under the carpet and the families treated like dog crap stuck on someone's shoe.

Very biased view this. Can only assume you weren't around then. We had the County Road Cutters which was the most notorious firm outside of London. We were also feared for our racist element. Black palyers hated coming to Goodison (ask Les Ferdinand). Barnes back heeling a banana at Goodison an iconic image.

There wasn't the big hooha among fans of other clubs then either (unlike yours) as hooliganism was rampant throughout the game. Could have been any team. The most famous hooligan of the day, our very own Andy Nicholls, was at Heysel that day. Innocently viewing a game of another team I'm sure. English teams were banned because hooliganism was an English problem, not one teams problem. Italian hooliganism was right up there also and lasted much longer than here. Those missiles that Juve fans were throwing weren't innocently landing on rival fans. Or the knifing fom Roma fans the year prior. Some very blinkered views from people who weren't around then.

Liverpool Football club has never done enough in regards to what happened at Heysel. Took years for them to accept the responsibility in the part they played in the disaster imo. Some of their lot still try and pin some of the blame on rival fans. And those fans deserve dogs abuse and criticism for it. What I can't abide though and what I don't like Evertonians getting involved in is this JFT39 stuff. That is a phrase made up by the mancs in direct response to the JFT96 campaign.

What would be your reponse to Andy Nicholls who was there or the County Road Cutters mate?
 

Bringing a bit of sanity back.

Why were English teams banned as opposed to just one club?

Not a scooby do some of you lot. Get in contact with Andy Nicholls if you need enlightened.
