The ECHO

[davek]

Cnut of a paper written for by [Poor language removed]. Liverpool's future is paramount. The Echo and the Post are there to oil the wheels of the local economy and LFC is a big driver for it. They'll move heaven and earth to put them on a successful footing.

Their attitude to us? "Midtable's good enough for you. Stop rocking the boat and accept your fate".

Phil Jagielka, England international pulls out of the England squad and may miss the derby for Everton due to injury.

No mention on the general Echo Twitter feed. No mention on the website until after three LFC stories.


The ECHO. Is not biased. Not at all. HONEST.

Did the Echo one have a 'Miss Pink' ?

Bring back the pink!!!!!!! Who remembers.

i remember a long piece in that particular newspaper about how we had thrown away three points by drawing at home to chelsea 2-2 (the game where neville laid out, entirely accidentally, kerry dixon for anyone who remembers), whilst on the same day the RS had let a four goal lead slip when jammily beating leeds 5-4 at elland road.

Well back in the days of the pink, I seem to recall a certain H Yates reporter who was decent to us. Perhaps Dave or LCAB can confirm.

when westerveld booted the free kick at hutchinson and then legged after the ball to try and stop a goal, the echo reported that westerveld knew the whistle had gone so he strolled after the ball. i cant do links so if anyone is bothered i would `preciate a hand with the evidence m`lud

I date from Mike Charters following us and Chris James following them. Late 70s they covered the games. Proper local journos, not the bought and paid for whores that trot out the company line we have now.

Remember the match reports in the pink when the goal action text turned to bold and your heart started racing getting to it?

I use to think that the echo / post were in the pocket of Everton (sorry a bit off topic), but reading the stories over the year I simply think that Everton don't actually feed them juicy morsels. Transfer speculation is one area where you'd think that a lickle local knowledge would be useful, but most of the specs are simply feeds from the nationals.

Some good journo's on the paper (O'keefe), it probably is bias (only viewed it throught the internet), but it appears, for a local paper largely irrelevant in terms of Everton planting stories.

Racing with fear mostly. "The ball was swept into the blues box, and there was Peter Withe to smash home from 6 yards"

..who crossed deep from the wing into the Everton box...."

You just knew that Mick Hartford was going to our defence.


But Southall would one hand save it, every time.
