Re: Scottish premier league.

Do Celtic fans also have affinity with or a soft spot for Hibs, or is that seen as a rivalry for the same kinds of fans? (or nothing at all and I don't understand Scotch football!) No, they regard the rest of Scottish football with equal disdain, unless they're trying to buy their best players, in ...

Re: Scottish premier league.

8) I like to think you're with Despair on this. You think I'm a Celtic fan? LOL. Dunfirmline all the way. Hate both the Old Firm Teams. What may appear to be negativity towards Rangers is purely down to the fact that they are miles behind what, this season at least, is a functional but unremarkable...

Re: Weekend Football

I wouldn't call it tepid. It has become a little less antagonistic because for so many years now the two clubs have operated at different ends to the table and that looks likely to be the case for some time to come. BTW it is only Everton that somehow think that they are "The people's club&quo...

Re: Weekend Football

Anyway, just trying to lend a different perspective so maybe we could have a bit of a different conversation other than "lol Spurs" all the time, and I thought I presented a pretty well-reasoned argument. I'm sorry none of us can understand a football rivalry because we're not proper fans...

Re: Weekend Football

eh? This season Everton played at home to Man City. Everton were in a mess and in danger of going down, but Liverpool were top of the league on 42 points that day. If Man City won, Everton would have known it would help to stop Liverpool win the league. Were Everton fans hoping for Man City to win ...

Re: Weekend Football

I guess, as one of the traditional "Big 5", when you've only won 2 league cups in 30 years, you have to take the little victories wherever you can manufacture them. Must be galling to spend 4 decades playing second fiddle to your big rivals. Replace "2 league cups" with "1 ...

From Despair To Where? The agent's been suspended for 6 months so it Olise moves this summer, he's kind of oxf*rd himself.

Ban starts in October so as not to interfere this summer.


Fair enough. That will teach me to just read the headline.

From being generally regarded the biggest and best stadium in the country 20 years ago, OT is looking really shabby, run-down and old-fashioned. https://i.postimg.cc/X7rWpWx7/waterfalls.jpg Glazernomics, running the club into the ground!

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Probably makes us favourites to make the final. Which is frankly crazy. Entirely mad end to a mad season. Incredible given Elliot, Savage, Ehibhatiomhan, Bindon, and Craig are all young enough to be in the U21 squad on age. You can add Dorsett to that list as well along with Vickers and Abbey from ...

Re: Weekend Football

It's very apparent that you are all speaking as fans of a team that has no hardcore rivals. Arsenal fans are saying that if the shoe were on the other foot, they'd want to lose too.

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Seen a few articles blowing smoke up Spurs' arse because their U21s topped the league.

I know I'm biased but surely the real story is the cash strapped League 1 team who are now in the semis and are offering a genuine path to 1st team football.

Indeed, but the Everton fans I speak to don't believe it can happen to them and therein lies part of the problem.

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

I always remember the old story about how Bellshill, a small town in Lanarkshire with a population of less than 20,000, was the birthplace of a disproportionately large percentage of Scottish internationals. Turns out one of the main maternity hospitals serving East Glasgow was based there. Gipuzkoa...

Re: The Retained List

It's just nice that, for the first time in years, we're retaining a decent core of the squad and talking about targeted signings before the season is over rather than being left with a 7 a side team and scrabbling around in the bargain bucket in July after every one else has had their fill.

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

My original post was more about the reaction of Everton fans and how I'd heard the same arguments about us for about 5 years. I think they've got their heads in the sand. They need to trim their wage bill and I think they will struggle to recruit adequate quality next season because they will be lab...

Bit harsh to call Convey hit and miss. Ok it took him a while to settle but then he was brilliant until the bad knee injury that he never seemed to fully recover from. Hardly his fault.
