MikeO Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Anyone see Everton/Wimbledon 1994 was on Match of Their Day last night as Ian Wright's pick of his favourite games that he didn't play in? It's on the iPlayer, starting about 38:40 in.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000hk60/match-of-their-day-series-1-episode-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it was nice to hear Wrighty speak about us the way he did, although he looked forward to playing us because he normally scored, he also has great respect for us as a club, clever bloke that Wrighty.

pete0 Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Alcohol, gambling, pharmaceuticals what next prostitution? Tbf it's only cannabis oil so not addictive and doesn't get you stoned, so just the ethical case of whether medicine should be advertised rather than simply prescribed.

The mention of the Coventry game though, that was probably the lowest of low points; 13,000 attendance? Unthinkable now, that aside at least nobody had a restricted view. duncanmckenzieismagic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no issue with CBD really, but so many people see cannabis and think drugs. I’d rather be sponsored by something health and well-being related than gambling or alcohol.

barryj Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I think a Cannabis leaf incorporated logo and the strap line ‘ For the higher good’ won’t be a good look. .....and then for the jokes if we do well about getting high, resigning Stones, making a hash of it or our players being out of puff.

Could live with that, weed be breaking new ground; and our burger bars would make a fortune from fans with the munchies.

barryj Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Tony Bellew is representing Everton this time round in the second EFL cup. Not sure I fancy us getting far but it’ll be worth a watch as he hates losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do that it would be the easiest thing for me to do, but that’s not going to help the forum as a whole, something is stopping people using the forum the number of active members as dropped quite dramatically even the stalwarts are dwindling, maybe John is right ever since the Brexit thread the place as gone slowly downhill, the thing with politics and religion for that matter is they are guaranteed to cause huge discord and splits amongst the group.

Wiggytop Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi all, I’m still here, just haven’t had much to say as there’s no footy, apart from the rerun games on Weds and Saturdays, I’d imagine many others are the same. There’s a fair few reports of Facebook, but I’m dubious of the accuracy at present, well as always TBH. Hope everyone is keeping well.

If people are leaving because they don’t like the political threads, even though they could just stay out of them, then it’s a shame but it’s pretty pathetic too. I don’t feel comfortable in those threads, but the other mods are looking at those threads, so I just stay away. There are plenty of other threads on here to enjoy, without getting into politics. If the Brexit thread is upsetting you or John, just don’t go in those threads. You’re both grown ups and you don’t have to go in any thread. Im also pretty sure that if the number of visitors to a football based site is down, maybe it’s because there is no football to talk about. The same thing always happens between the end of the season and the transfer window opening. barryj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
