I’ll defer until end of the window

Everton 2 Chelsea 1 McNeil

Did you meet the boss, o heard from a guy who contracted to their HO his was a bit of a shit who threw his weight about unnecessary

Yes it was when I had it emailed to me then forwarded to mates phone

You have to call them and they send it by email or you can collect, and your electronic one is disabled for that game.

Hopefully not on Saturday

Played well in 2nd half, useless stream meant I missed all the first, looks promising, albeit against Blackpool in a previous season, seems to have a decent cross, I’m looking forward to seeing more of him this season.

Feck me, can the season please start so this sort of shit drops off the agenda.

Have you seen where the supposed in the know info comes from? I know it’s tough at the moment but we all really need to get a grip and not believe everything that is written, the majority by lazy journos.

Don’t understand why we’re allegedly interested, far more critical positions to be filled this window.

Won the PL, FA and League cup, simples innit

Hate to say it but I don’t think he has the right mind set to make it, watching him in pre game warm ups he acts like a big cocky kid doing flicks and tricks etc rather than focusing on getting his head right.

Good to hear all went well, at the end of the day that’s what really matters, not a game of football.

I thought most laid the blame at FSW for putting us in danger, ( and injuries ) not the squad

Ah, but is that his good or bad one ?…….

Pickford came from a delegated team, Ramsdale also to Arsenal, a team gets relegated not individual players, the skill is picking the diamonds, the two I’ve mentioned fall in to that catagory.

Bloody hell that’s some salary, I joined CBS aim 82 on £7500 a huge increase from my previous reps job with Cadbury’s at £3000, my parents bought their first house in Dec 66 for £6600, new build 3 bed semi, CH, Built in kitchen, 2 toilets! That waS a big jump for them, we had spent the previous 4 years living in 3 bed flat above the hairdressers my mum had, 6 of us, lounge and kitchen downstairs behind the salon, I have a hatred of the smell of hairspray and perm solution. I knew Martyn Barker from school days which was the drummer in Shriekback, last saw him in 97.

I like to use of the word alleged, it’s quite well documented that there were shit loads of fans on the pitch. As for the violence it was always going to be charged, need to see if the FA treat others in the same way now.

Yes I used to deal with Geoff most of the time, if he was away PB stood in. Really liked Geoff, found him very straightforward and easy to deal with. Paul Rutherford from Frankie was working in there around that time also. I saw Bill Nelson at Pacific Road in Birkenhead a few years ago, thinking he would play the best of his long catalogue, nope not one song I knew was played. FWIW there’s a really good concert on YouTube he did a few years ago, there’s more clips also.

Anyhow, Broja, we have to accept if players don’t want to come to the NW and prefer London, a drive down Regent Rd to see Bramley Moore wouldn’t impress many atm.

I’m about the same as you, always loved my music, DeBop Deluxe, Nils Lofgren up to 76, then bam along came punk, liked the music but never had the bottle to do the safety pin stuff. Went to Eric’s many times, then over on to new wave, Costello, Squeeze, XTC, early Talking Heads etc. At 22 I got a sales rep job with CBS, covering Merseyside and N Wales, I thought it would be cool, it was in many aspects, not so much trying to sell the Nolan’s or Goombay Dance Band into Probe, Pete Burns worked there at the time, he always tired to intimidate customers and reps, on one visit he was in fine form calling almost every new release I presented shite, so as I was going through the albums I half pulled a cover out, then put it back in my bag saying he wouldn’t want it and moved on to the next, he kept asking what it was that I had put back, I eventually pulled it out, Joan Jetts 2nd album, “ oh I’ll have 10 of that she’s OK” he said. A small win in the life of a sales rep. There was a sales incentive on that album, I won by 5 sales, and got a very nice Sony Sports Walkman ( yellow waterproof one ) Its was a strange industry, so much money thrown at promoting groups by all the labels to get radio play and on TOTP, lots of good stuff groups never made it, and lots of crap did, cos it sold and made loads of money for the labels.

He might be free, but in my book he owes us £15m ish for dicking about and not going 6 months earlier, so on a free and no wages until the books are balanced is the way to go

I only hope it’s not us that pays that

Assuming he stays, he needs to step up and really lead the line this season with Richys departure, and we need to give him the ammunition, he’s one of the best in the air in the PL, get those crosses in we will see goals.
