You quite clearly weren't around during the 80s to come out with such an absurd statement mate.
We would have won nothing with even a decent keeper replacing Southall - absolutely sweet nothing.
When he got injured we were odds on to repeat -...
I absolutely loved Lineker but the season after, when we won the Title, our top league goal scorer got 14 goals. If Lineker would have got injured for a significant period of time, Kendall would have just adapted, signed someone else and still...
Yes and people need to get over it. Most football players now are probably born from 1992 onwards, no way would Everton be a big club to them unless they sit there on Wikipedia each night (which they do not)

Bobby did little wrong but he wasn’t Neville and if the latter hadn’t broken his leg playing in a friendly on a blooming rugby pitch in Dublin I have no doubt we win the league in ‘86 with a game or two to spare and probably completed...
The Maitland Niles I saw playing in England wouldn’t improve us other than in the sense he’d beef the squad up. Somebody has posted some interesting stuff which suggests he may have improved over his 2 years at Lyon which would change my opinion...

We have semi competent options at right back, that’s kind of the point. I was hoping we might sign a genuinely good right back. Similar to walker peters for me, he’d be a decent signing on the right terms in the sense that he gives you a bit of...
I mean, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic mate, but yes that is the key. Newcastle have mostly signed safe PL players for hefty fees, but still managed to get Guimarães, Isak and Tonali when the club wasn't all that.
We will be rejected by...
