Bread and Butter round here.
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT READ THAT.You're like a Scouse Stephen Fry.
That bird belongs to the city not them mate.
And actual birds sat on the building are blue. Never mind that our kit had it first.
Time to reclaim it and spin them out.
Ella rae.
If we're talking like the ones on top of the Liver Building on each corner then I could get into that.
Just no more stadium murals.
Exactly them. But with laser eyes that blinds Wirral bag heads and a massive pair of platinum cajones on the bird.
Right on the River Mersey on the stadium of Everton FC. The city is all ours.

What, fat, old, spouting toilet humour that even Kenneth Williams would find difficult to make humorous, and so self deprecating he's lost the all important deprecating.
Reading the Stones thread on Bluemoon, cos im bored.
Anyway, this post I thought was interesting.

The issue is this is not true see this from todays mediawatch on f365
There are many in the industry happy to insist that nobody just makes up transfer rumours; there has to be a truth somewhere. While Mediawatch is happy to accept that at face value, it is interesting to see how a rumour can gain traction with very little evidence.
Take the example of Romelu Lukaku, for example:
1) In the early hours of Tuesday morning, spurious Italian transfer website transfermarketweb.com claims that Romelu Lukaku could leave Everton for £40m.
‘According to latest rumours gathered through TMW sources, Belgian international striker Romelu Lukaku (23) is getting more and more likely to leave Everton for good and join Chelsea back.
Still tracked by Atletico Madrid, Napoli, AS Roma and Manchester City as well, Toffees star will be moving on an about €48/£40m offer.’
That website handily shows the number of views of each story. On that short piece, there have been 1,672 hits.
2) Later on Tuesday morning, somebody at the Daily Star had seen that story, probably via an aggregator like Newsnow.com.
‘Chelsea close in on £40m deal for in-demand Premier League ace – reports,’ is the Star’s headline.
‘Lukaku has emerged as one of the Premier League’s top strikers since Chelsea allowed him to join the Toffees for £28m two summers ago.
‘They are said to have beaten off competition from a number of top European clubs, including Manchester City and Atletico Madrid.’
Already, ‘getting more likely’ has become ‘closes in on deal’, and ‘still tracked by’ (present tense) has become ‘Chelsea have beaten off competition’ (past tense).
Again the fee is mentioned at £40m, despite there being no way on this earth that Everton will sell Lukaku at that price.
Finally, the story is written by Jamie Styles. The same Jamie Styles reported five days earlier that Chelsea had made an ‘opening bid’ of £50m for Lukaku. They’re probably not going to accept £40m now.
3) By Tuesday afternoon, the Daily Telegraph are all over the story.
‘Another forward on Chelsea’s radar is Romelu Lukaku, who, according to the Daily Star, is edging closer to a Stamford Bridge return after Chelsea launched a £40m bid for him over the weekenf (sic),’ that story reads.
Crucially, the Telegraph don’t want to quote transfermarketweb.com, so instead credit the Daily Star as the source. This is needed to give the story more kudos.
In addition, the Telegraph have added a detail about Chelsea ‘launching a bid’ for Lukaku ‘over the weekend’, despite neither the Star nor TMW mentioning a bid of any sort, let alone one made at a particular time. Has that merely been added for effect?
From a story on a website that got 1,672 hits to a website that in March released figures indicating daily traffic of 4.3m, all because nobody really cares if a story is true just so long as it gets clicks.
Finally, Mediawatch cannot stress this enough: Romelu Lukaku will not be moving to Chelsea for £40m this summer.
