    2024/25 Harrison Armstrong

    Yeah, and it's also easy to forget that Tony Hibbert and Leon Osman were once products of the academy with little experience when Moyes took over. Then there's Anichebe and Vaughan (who was handed PL footy at age 16). Looking at what he got wrong, you're right, there wasn't a lot of players he...

    Match Thread Accrington Stanley 1-1 Everton [Pre-Season 2025/26] - Tues 15th July 2025 - 7.45pm KO

    He will score at least 9 goals next season. Vault me.

    Confirmed Signing Mark Travers

    I reckon it's much easier to be a back-up keeper than it is to be an outfield player who doesn't get games. They probably get to make more saves in 10 minutes of training than they will in most matches.

    New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

    I can only speak for the Southport line, but I'm 100% certain every Sunday during the summer they run every 15 minutes. I can see Seaforth station from the street outside my house, and I was using them yesterday; every 15 minutes they were running.

    There's a 15 minute service every Sunday during the summer months isn't there?

    Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

    Personally I'm not convinced it's a hard luck story for Holgate. Was watching an episode of the Peter Crouch podcast recently, and both Crouch and Sidwell said they've both seen examples of players being handed big contracts and then completely downing tools. I'm convinced that's what Holgate...

    Hover the cursor over the persons username mate and the option is there. ;)

    New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

    I think the amount is irrelevant in some ways Tom. We'd all like a multi-national mega bucks deal, but I think what should be blatantly obvious is that we probably took the best offer there was. If that's 1 million a year, fine, if it's 10, fine.

    Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

    I think we definitely need 3 strikers and Chermiti needs football so it's a tricky one. Finding the right calibre to be third choice is difficult. Ideally a young lad with potential like Chermiti is what we need. Don't want us to go down the road of getting somebody like Callum Wilson. A couple...

    Confirmed Signing Thierno Barry

    Looks a bit shy in that vid. I like that. Rather that than some tit who thinks he's already made it.

    Nicknames for random strangers

    There's a feller who frequents the Wetherspoons in Waterloo who me and the missus have christened 'burger guy.' And no, it's not a dig at his weight. One day we were in there having a burger and I left a bit of mine. My wife went the toilet, and I went outside for a quick smoke. When I came...

    2024/25 Dwight McNeil

    Okay, a player with a goal involvement every 114 minutes last season is not a very useful squad option. Does he get enough enough goals? Probably not, but since he's found himself more central he's definitely started smashing some great ones in. He's 25 btw, and is 17 assists shy of being in...

    2024/25 Dwight McNeil

    A goal involvement every 114 minutes in the league last season. Some great strikes too and top class set piece delivery. His left foot is magic. Really useful player to have in the squad.

    Ah mate, I ended up watching about all but the last 10 or so minutes, so engrossing was it. What a guy, I can't help but like him, despite the lack of morals. Bollocks bigger than an elephant. Gonna watch the end tonight. Also learned some stuff about Brazilian football in general that is now...

    He's not even reached the point yet where he has to adapt his game and become more of a sitting player. Most players of his ilk have at least an extra season in them by adapting their game and becoming a sitting player with vast experience and good reading of the game.

    Cheers mate. Had a feeling it would be knocking around somewhere, but hadn't dug that deep. Gonna watch 1/2 tonight and the rest tomorrow ;)

    Groucho's Fact Hunt

    Carlos Kaiser is a brazilian former 'footballer' who had a 13 year career without making a single appearance. He was a conman. The closest he ever came to making an appearance was when he nearly got subbed on. To avoid being subbed on, he jumped in to the crowd and attacked some fans who were...

    Matt Le Tissier's highest ever wage was 3.5k p/w :eek: He retired in 2002. To put that in perspective, John Barnes was earning 10k p/w in the early 90's and before that decade was out, Roy Keane was getting 50k p/w Learned that watching this:
