Lisa Nandy gave an interview on Times Radio earlier and mentioned this, in the context of the Makerfield by-election and Andy Burnham. When talking about infrastructure, she referenced the "great work that Steve Rotheram had done in delivering Everton's new stadium". Needless to say after the...

They'd have to go some way to eclipse the "Magnificent Seventh" DVD of a few years ago. The epitome of how far we'd fallen as a club. Even the RS I knew were like "Oh, lad..."

That's the 3rd time this season to my knowledge he's been pictured / seen polatic abroad. First one was during an international break, 2nd during a suspension I think. It's his life, and there's been no stories of misdemeanours - more a local fixer helping him back to his apartment in an earlier...

I was lucky enough to be able to walk to the ground in my formative years. Went most games, and had a season ticket in 6th form (£99!). When I went to Uni in 89, I worked most home games in a sponsors lounge, and they let me sit in the Directors box as long as I did the half time teas/coffees...

Dunno if you've just pulled that figure out of the air, but it feels accurate. Which is pretty shocking. I don't watch other matches that much due to location / time difference - occasionally see highlight reels / goals on social media etc. But am I right in thinking that there seems to be...

This highlights a sympton of how the influx of money hasn't been followed by a reformation of the outflow. Years ago "loyalty" payments, paying out contracts etc. were an outcome at a time when wages were much lower. Of course the players' agents (collective) have pushed for the increase in...

Not questioning your statement of what your mate said - more of the source. £400m is an incredible figure to cite for non-footballing revenue. Can that be accurate? £400m in actual revenue to the club, or rather £400m in non-footballing revenue of which an amount will go to the club.

The irony is Kavanagh is as despised by them as much as us. At least he was pre-game.

Beto is this eras Denis Stracqualursi - an honest tryer, but utterly out of his depth and bizarrely worshipped by a section of the fanbase. Barry was done after the Arsenal away shenanigans. It's obvious why we're one of the lowest scorers at home in the league. Striker has to be a focus area...

Remember when Colin Harvey took the team for a Chinese in Southport. Straight out of Howard's playbook. Except rather than team bonding as we were fighting for trophies on multiple fronts, it was to try to get them together for a difficult run in, when the team was truly on the slide. Harvey...

Walker was despised by the players and treated the fans like crap - stories abound about pre-season friendlies. I do recall stood in Gwladys Street as they walloped us 5-1 though. So wasn't disappointed when he became our manager. Mind you that day we had 4 full-backs across the defence.

Years ago when I worked in "That London", a colleague mentioned The Rutles were playing (at the South Bank I think). He was amazed that a Scouser hadn't heard of them - he was a bit older than me tbf. Anyway tickets were only about £10, one of the most surreal nights out at a "gig" I can...

I don't know how much they charge now, but a guy I worked with in the Middle East had a season ticket when they first moved into the London Stadium. Cost him £99. When he couldn't use it, his brother used it. Not sure how much they're charging now, and I think that was a "loyalty / intro" price...

Courtesy of today's issue of The Upshot: "Since 1st January 2025, PSG have beaten more Premier League teams at home than Spurs have."

As long as Salah takes it....

I thought it had already been ruled out (stand to be corrected) - I think the useable floor space was too small to exhibit everything. Plus given we are now owned by a US multi-sports outfit, they'll be looking to maximise the £££, so probably more likely to be an overpriced F&B offering. I do...

I thought because the Wembley rebuild was massively over budget, they're committed to as many games as possible there to service the debt. The occasional games get played elsewhere if the stadium is booked for a concert (reason the Charity Shield is at the Millenium Stadium next season), or if...

Hats off for living in Berlin - one of my favourite cities to visit. There may be a direct service there from Manila from later this year, which would give me a new route back to UK, and I'm okay with a long weekend there on the way back! On the football thing, many, many years ago (around...

Tottenham took a leaf out of our book when we were fighting for our lives (under Frank Lampard) with the coach greet. They didn't have the German Shepherd though. Got spanked 3-0 by Forest... If West Ham hadn't blown it against Villa I think they would be in the relegation zone now.

I'll let you into a little secret. I don't. That was a line I "borrowed" from Gary Delaney (recommend him when he's in Liverpool on his next tour). I'm actally the type of hotel guests that tidies the place up before I check out. (But I do tend to stay in the same hotels when I'm travelling...
