    Odd ... professional footballer - one of the few people who could afford to travel by train regularly to see home.

    The bomb shelter thread.

    Jeez this forum is a depressing hive of miserable, negative old gits! Imagine if an everton forum were balanced enough that some of our footballers would feel happy coming here and contributing to the chat. Instead they probably look us up and run a mile. Or in Patterson's case ... limp.

    Are these ads normal?

    Being brutally honest, I visit the site less often now, because, as well as the general everton frustration, there's the irritating interruptions too. I think we would all benefit from less irritation in our lives!

    Are these ads normal?

    Do those atrocities get you better revenue than the ones we simply have to scroll past? As i type, I lost the entire screen again so im typing blind and cant check what I type ... not that I do that much anyway.

    Are these ads normal?

    Every fresh page ... a few seconds in while I'm reading, the ad at the bottom scrolls up and fills most of the page. Even more annoying while I'm typing. Been like this a while and its about the most obtrusive irritating advertising I cone across, other than Reach "local" news websites, which I...

    Commercial performance - post TFG

    My local non league team has no advertising hoardings. Just lethal scaffold fencing around 2 sides of the pitch, 2 hedges and a breeze block dug out no longer big enough for the subs they're allowed. Its also an uneven, sloping pitch. They seem to love it. All it costs me to watch them...

    Commercial performance - post TFG

    God I wish money, yanks, Arabs, sky, advertising etc were not involved in our once sport. I lament the replacing of picket fencing with ugly pitch side adverts, let alone the visual vomit inducing video ones. Best we can all do is just never buy what's advertised. Show them it doesn't work...

    The 'Post Funny stuff' Thread

    Well yes... they'd have been ideal except they enjoyed the netball and never asked to play footie. This particular kid had all the enthusiasm and drive in the world - a poster girl for all those motivational posters and sayings .. but I suspect she had never, in her 13 years, played catch . ...

    I've long said it has been their weakest area ... but less so in the last few years.

    The 'Post Funny stuff' Thread

    This reminded me of the week I spent coaching a girl at our school who wanted to be a goalkeeper for the school girls' team. It was a great team, but it didn't have a keeper- so it was worth trying. Nope ... some people don't have the aptitude- it was like this all week ... it started bad, it...

    The New(ly) Dead Thread

    Willie Young ... I remember him only for a cynical professional foul in the FA cup final, denying Paul Allen a run on ti a certain goal. Back in those days, commentators called it out for what it was - cheating. They were appalled. Today pundits say they "have" to do it. They "have" to...
