Horrible bugger when he was playing but a proper local legend and hero for the dark side, 74 is too young. Feel for them.

Just heard tommy smith has died. R.I.P

you should never be cheeky to your betters 

Fulham don’t find themselves in the position they are in because of prolific scoring and not conceding, I can see another clean sheet for us our defence is full of confidence at the moment and the belief is strong can’t see Fulham denting it. 

5 clean sheets in the last 6 games though. World of improvement there. 
If we play the same as arsenal but the final third clicks we could seriously put some past Fulham. I hope Bernard and DCL get a  couple.

Looking at where you are in the table I wouldn’t of guessed that 👍😀

I confess that I didn’t expect anyone to copy my prediction for this one!

thanks Matt  I must have missed that  bit.

Says he’s a winger 

I can't see it even coming close to matching Spurs' stadium tbh. That is one hell of a stadium.
Really hoping to be wrong on that - Nil Satis Nisi Optimum

Amazing to think that a player with 373 games for us and with a league champions and FA cup winners medal (and twelve England caps) had to get a job in the docks when he retired, how times have changed!

(Factual inaccuracy in the piece unfortunately, we didn't lose to Brazil in the quarter final of the World Cup in 1970, we lost to them in a group game)

We’ll take anything at this point. 

Yep and didn't concede from one also😳

What?  We scored from a corner? 😂

Went absolutely mental on the 'web that, the forum he posted it on was absolutely flooded with people from other clubs patting the guy on the back, very funny.

Thats  a bit tame compared to this one Rubes, you and a few long standing members may have seen this before but for any new members, although it a long one its well worth a read.
 When Poojah a Grimsby Town fan, could no longer contain his anger at the team's poor performance he decided to write his feelings in an open letter and post it online.
Best moment: "Use your imagination, guys – strangle yourselves or cover yourself in tinfoil and take a fork to a nearby plug socket"
I am writing with regard to my absolute astonishment and disbelief as to the sheer magnitude of your complete lack of talent and failure to carry out the job for which you are paid to do. I am not aware of any swear word or other derogatory phrase in my current vocabulary which comes close to a description of your ‘performance’ (and I use that term loosely) this afternoon, but let me just say that you have collectively reached a level of inadequacy and ineptitude that neither I nor modern science had previously considered possible.
In fact I recall a time, in my youth, when I decided to call in sick at work and instead spent the entire day in my one bedroom flat wearing nothing but my underpants, eating toast and w**king furiously over second-rate Scandinavian porn. Yet somehow, I still managed to contribute more to my employer in that one Andrex-filled day than you complete bunch of toss-baskets have contributed to this club in your entire time here.
I would genuinely like to know how you pathetic little arsewipes sleep at night, knowing full well that you have taken my money and that of several thousand others and delivered precisely f**k all in return. I run a business myself, and I believe I could take any 4,000 of my customers at random; burn down their houses, impregnate their wives and then dismember their children before systematically sending them back in the post, limb-by-limb, and still ensure a level of customer satisfaction which exceeds that which I have experienced at Blundell Park at any time so far this season.
You are a total disgrace, not only to your profession, not only to the human race, but to nature itself. This may sound like an exaggeration, but believe me when I say that I have passed kidney stones which have brought me a greater level of pleasure and entertainment than watching each of you worthless excuses for professional footballers attempt to play a game you are clearly incapable of playing, week-in, week-out.
I considered, for a second, that I was perhaps being a little too harsh. But then I recalled that I have blindly given you all the benefit of the doubt for too long now. Yes, for too long you have failed to earn the air you’ve been breathing by offering any kind of tangible quality either as footballers or as people in general. As such, I feel it’s only fair that your supply runs out forthwith.
I trust, at this precise moment in time, that Mr Fenty is in his office tapping away on the Easyjet web site booking you all one-way flights to Zurich, complete with an overnight stay with our cheese eating friends at Dignitas. Don’t bother packing your toothbrush – you won’t need it.
In the event that our beloved chairman can’t afford the expense (understandable given that he’s soon going to have to assemble a new squad from scratch), then I am prepared to sell my family (including my unborn child) to a dubious consortium of Middle Eastern businessmen in order to pay for the flights. Christ, I’ll drive you there myself, one-by one, without sleep, if I have to.
Failing that, understanding that most dubious Middle Eastern businessmen are tied-up purchasing Premier League football clubs, I ask you to please take matters into your hands. Use your imagination, guys – strangle yourselves or cover yourself in tinfoil and take a fork to a nearby plug socket, or something. Just put yourselves and us fans out of our collective misery.
So, in summary, you pack of repugnant, sputum-filled, invertebrate b**tards; leave this club now and don’t you f**king dare look back. You’ve consistently demonstrated less passion and desire than can commonly be found within the contents of a sloth’s scrotum, so frankly you can just all f**k off – don’t pass go, don’t collect your wages, don’t ever come back to this town again.
I look forward to you serving me at my local McDonald’s drive-thru in the near future.
 Yours sincerely, A very disillusioned Mariner

(It wasn't an intentional Brexit analogy.)

My apologies everyone.

I was trying to move the site to a cheaper alternative. It didn't work out how I'd have liked. We will remain with the tried and tested hosts. 👍

Blame StevO.  😛 

nobody has asked what kind of egg was used  or whether or not it was fresh.   if itas a dinosaur egg for example it would be fossilsed and therefore would hurt a bit,  if it was an ostrich egg it would need to be fresh or it may sprout legs 00nd run away

All done, played well.

Klippety  seems ti be a comic genius at times  I know just how much you guys hate him but I actually like him.

That's right StevO, I wrote it incorrectly. Still a beautiful thing and I'm proud to call myself an Evertonian.

The players agree to it, I think that is important to note, rather than the club makes them. The players agree to give up their time, they aren’t forced. 
Not having a dig Keith, I just think it’s important to note it that way. 
It’s a great article, I’m a huge fan of Denise and I’m made up the great work she did with EITC gave her the chance to take the big job.
