As they were in the 4th div in 1959 and when we played them in the cup in 1966 they were a 2nd div side, so I find that hard to believe.
Or am I missing something obvious - won't be the first time...or the last probably

All you missed is the rest of the thread where I realised I'd got confused in stating that!

When they were last relegated in 2001 they had been in the top flight for 34 years (the longest they'd ever been), and Everton had been there for 47. Everton have been in the top flight longer than anyone, but not continuously.

And second only to Arsenal in terms of unbroken, continuous top flight tenure.

It will be some freak worldy from Keita or someone who's been gash so far.

I'm not even arsed if they win the CL.

As long as they don't win the Prem.

I wouldn't want them winning a lucky dip ffs

I see J. Henderson has been banging the RS war-shield media wise.....(warning the following may cause side splitting laughter)

'We have to have the attitude in each and every game that the priority is to win. It's that simple. If you give yourself an excuse you'll end up with nothing. We look for and make no excuses. Ever.'

lollollol Wot....? No "the grass was too long...the pitch was very wet...their goal was clearly offside...Salah didn't dive...the Referee evened things out for them in the 2nd half to make up for his mistake in the 1st …."

I never read what players and managers have to say in interviews. it's all propaganda to me.everything is controlled. Even managers speaking thier mind in post game pressers is going extinct.

Well they have to be stage-managed to a degree given the fact that a some players are a bit disadvantaged by being too thick to deal with the questions never mind provide quotable answers. Clubs just wont let them sound off like loose cannons. I do think the ones like Henderson play up the chest beating soundbites to compensate for their own on-pitch inadequacies.

Apparently, according to Sky, there's a game at FIVE PAST TWO tomorrow. For some bizarre reason they are heavily promoting this strange KO time.

Hopefully its a premonition of a 5 - 2 scoreline at the end of the game as well.

They fail to mention arsenal also kick off at five past two

This is right up there with 'we've spent no money yet are somehow challenging for the league against all odds'.

Hilarious article in tonight's redecho, regarding the FSW.

Sickening love-in between Benitez and the cult, 'still loves the area', 'family call it home'.

A council house on Breck Road you would think?

NO= A £9 million, high walled mansion in Caldy.

Lel. The Wirral does not = Liverpool. Despite my mum (who is from Wallasey) claiming otherwise when she was younger.

Even when there’re going for the title Klopp can’t resist having a dig at us. He really is one bitter old ball bag.

My take is you're two horrible clubs with two sets of the most obnoxious fans on the planet. The media prefer them.

I despise both teams but for the first time ever, I want United to win. It helps that I like OGS.

Big Fat Sam · February 23, 2019

Humiliate these, United. If they play anything like they did against Bayern, and United have Pogba, Rashford, Martial, De Gea all on form, they can bum these. Let it be the start of their downfall please.
