Formby

Hurray!

After the guitar make (seeing as she's amongst them)? Or just coincidence?

A great age!

Absolutely gutted Australia will be leaving us in the group stage.

Edge of your seat stuff.

Shukes is a young'un????

I wish we had the Dave Thomas / Bob Latchford combo from 1978. What a joy that was!

This was a very insightful interview about the British political system - particularly in regard to voting records and why MPs have to tow party lines. if only all interviews were conducted this way; if only all interviewees were as informed.

I hear this so often from fans of all teams these days. Do you think there will ever be a tipping point where people leave their clubs behind or do you think it's still too ingrained? I used to think the latter but I'm not so sure any more. My connection to Everton is really to its past (and mine), not to what it is.

The game's too sanitised now, sadly. Players get touched and they fall over. It lends itself to the possession-based stuff. Boring as hell, though. Would love to see the game return to what it was (on the pitch, anyway) - fouls and all, pitches like quagmires, wingers crossing from the byline, no VAR - a proper atmosphere. The NBA and the NHL in the States has gone the same way - they whistle for everything now and the excitement (and the game people remember from the 70s/80s) is gone.

I'll do the hoping for you! Brentford 1-5 Everton Beto

Oh, come on - not again!

Absolutely not! Although there are a few who claim to...

The regret was for Iwobi, not Coady. As a club, we appear to lose money on a whim every year, either buying rubbish or sacking managers. Iwobi had at least some creative ability and did his best playing centrally under Lampard. Not perfect for sure, but miles better than what we have left. The 22million may look like small change if we go down.

I should have listened (again)! But my heart keeps getting in the way. 'Surely they will turn up this week?' I say. And they don't (like Waiting for Godot).

I'm already regretting it.

Two full backs who can't / won't get forward and can't / won't cross doesn't help matters. Let's hope Jack Harrison has some tricks in his bag because we have zero creativity in the middle.

And deservedly so! It should be two wins from two for them, really.

I think we should take some heart in the fact they're not called 666 Partners.

Top 2 saying we won't even score. Tum ti tum... But I'm with @London Blue on this one. Everton 2-0 Arsenal Beto

Mollethi yn Kernewek (kernewegva.com) - my go-to website for all things Cornish. Sowsnek I guessed from the Scottish - Sassenach.

He was asking you to kiss his arse (with a derogatory term for an English person thrown in).

He will do no such thing, you villain!

For obvious reasons, I would like the same thing!!! If you park your cart before the tower, Master Palfy, I can throw turnips at him from behind it for good measure.

Can't be! The last time I checked that thread, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were making out. Or was it King Kong and Godzilla?
