Markjazzbassist: Congratulations on your new arrival. My son took my grandson to the game (they live in Nottingham). Grandson supports Everton because I do, and have done for 70 years! I had to make do with watching it on my lap-top as I live in Berkshire. What a great game, we have a fantastic squad.

Elderly woman phoned Stannah and asked them to come and remove her stair lift, she said 'its driving me up the wall'.

Must be some sort of a record. Liverpool have gone two consecutive games without a penalty.

Have posted before that Naismith is the real deal. Showed it today. Stones had a great game, he is going to be a big name in the future. Thought Coleman had a good game after a few weeks of being ordinary. Thought we should have had the game sewn up by half-time, sometimes I think we overdo the 'tippy-tappy' passing and miss out on a shooting chance. We also overdo it in defence and on a number of occasions gave the ball away in dangerous areas. I think we will see off Arsenal. Their weakness is midfield where we are a lot stronger.

Can't remember where I read it but apparently there are only six Premiership teams who have been awarded more penalties this season than Suarez on his own.

Everton supporter talking to his mate. 'You won't believe what happened to me last night, my daughter walked into the house and said
Dad, cancel my allowance, forget my college tuition fees. Rent my room out, sell my TV and laptop, sell my car, throw me out of the house and write me out of your will.'
'Blimey' his mate said 'she actually said that'?
'Well, not in so many words, she actually said Dad, meet my new boyfriend he's a Liverpool supporter and he's going to get both of us season tickets at Anfield.

There was no logical reason whatsoever for the World Cup to be awarded to Qatar, It was all about money. Qatar bought the World Cup and a fair bit of the money didn't end up in FIFA's bank account either.

Don't rate Wilshire, he goes down too easily which you don't want in a midfielder. Barkley is better and should play in the heat and humidity of Brazil. Lampard is too old for the conditions. Don't know how Cleverly gets in, can't understand how he gets in the Man U squad let alone England. Don't think we'll get beyond the qualifying group stage.

The Denmark manager summed it up: Good luck - you need it. We were dire last night. Football played at walking pace with 50% of all passes going backwards. Twice in the first half we were on the edge of the opposition penalty area and four passes later the ball was back with Hart.
Rooney was poor. He had three shots at goal which went about 10 yards over the bar.

Yes, we are all in agreement. I suppose a degree of progress is represented by the fact that when I read about the Scottish Golf Club in the 1970's I thought it was very funny. I don't now. I think the emphasis should be on the term 'equal opportunity' rather than 'equality'. Opportunity should be sacrosanct, but I don't believe in quotas.

Things need to change and are changing slowly. I remember many years ago reading about a Scottish Golf Club. They had lady members but the ladies were not allowed in the club house. There was a window at the side of the club house where ladies could buy refreshments. The ladies were lobbying for permission to use the clubhouse. The Club Committee met to discuss this and came up with a compromise. The compromise was to put a canvas awning over the window so the ladies didn't get wet when they were queuing. This is a true story and illustrates how things need to change but they need to change sensibly.
Many years ago at my own Golf Club the ladies were pushing for equality of membership with the men. The club called a general meeting and at the meeting I said that I was in favour of total 100% equality for the ladies, which went down very well with them. I went on to say that there should not be any playing time restrictions for ladies but the ladies tees would disappear, all the mens and ladies competitions would disappear and that new 'club competitions' would be introduced which both men and ladies would compete for on equal terms. Membership fees for ladies would increase to be the same as the fee for men. There was nearly a riot, even though the offer was for 100% equality. I then made it clear that my suggestions were made tongue in cheek, to illustrate the point that the terms of 'equality' have to be based on practicalities and common sense.
We can have women referees and assistant referees in the football league but is it practical to insist that 50% of all football league teams are women.

If he had gone into medicine he wouldn't be a top flight surgeon, he would be a well respected local GP. I think he is a good, sound club manager but the England job is a step too far.

I was surprised you missed out Andy Carroll from your top ten.
Seriously, thought George Best might get a mention, My personal number 1 (I saw him play) was Di Stefano.

Gamekeeper having a piss in the woods when his shotgun went off accidentally. After his operation in hospital the surgeon says 'we got all the buckshot out but its left you with holes in your willy, I will refer you to my sister'. The gamekeeper asks if his sister is a plastic surgeon and the surgeon says 'no, she plays flute in the orchestra and she will teach you where to put your fingers so you don't piss all over the bathroom.'

It's odd, but you never hear the Inkspots on the wireless these days.
