Known as the ‘Singer of the Badia,’ Fariha helped define a generation of Syrian popular music and...

    On This Day;

    With the current situation in the middle-east it's worth remembering that 43 years ago today Lebanon’s Parliament voted for to ratify a peace treaty with Israel that would have seen an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, coupled with the Lebanese government disarming all militias and restoring its...

    A bit of a climbdown - sounds like one camera at both ends for you tube viewers. https://cricket.lancashirecricket.co.uk/news/2026-news/lancashire-cricket-to-expand-coverage-with-both-premium-and-free-for-all-options/

    2026 FIFA World Cup - General Chat

    That's Basim Sheikh Suliman for Israel and the gangster Jibril Rajoub for Palestine. Rajoub was caught with his hands in the till a couple of years ago and has his own personal militia in the Jericho area. Some see him as a future leader when Abbas goes.

    Always said Lancs should have signed Emilio Gay when he left Northants. Classy player - I hope when England pick him they give him half as many chances they gave Crawley.

    Old Everton Pictures

    Exactly what I thought but they weren't in the 1970 WC squad.

    Old Everton Pictures

    No Ray Wilson, he wasn't in the squad. It's Bally, Banks, two old codgers, Mullery, Bonetti, Labby, and two I don't recognise.

    Not sure how much they've thought this through. Away games will be streamed on the home team's feed, which Lancs followers will be able to watch for free, but the followers of those other teams will presumably have to pay to watch the reverse fixture at Lancs. An unofficial survey of the...

    Agree but need to be careful with him as he's had a lot of injuries, though not quite as many as Paul Coughlin who could prove to be a very shrewd signing if he can stay fit.

    Another great advert for the County Championship. Long may it continue.

    Henry Newton RIP

    Henry went on to win a League Championship medal after leaving us for Derby - 74/5 when we blew it. I remember he said he got a bit of a cold reception from the players when he arrived at Goodison - later became a good friend of HK. In those days you didn't spend a club record fee on someone...

    New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

    I'll just whisper this... it was the only home game I missed all season! Bally scored his last goal for us in that game as well - sold a few weeks later :(

    New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

    That was November - Joe didn't score again until the final game of the season!

    Frustrating not to win. The game was a great advert for county cricket though. Credit to the Northants tail for continuing to battle when it looked lost.

    Moyes All-Time XI

    Along with Baines you've got to have Pienaar - they made each other better players. I accept, though, that Grealish would probably have built a similar partnership with Leighton. As much as I like KDH, got to have Cahill in - goals from midfield.

    Cricket

    Membership just 6,000 - surprised it's that high actually but I remember when they had the largest membership in the country, 13,500 which was the maximum they allowed. The complaint that cricket is far from being the priority of the committee has been around since the Cedric Rhodes days, but...

    The GOT Book Club

    THE FALL OF ISRAEL - Mahdi Hamad Fatlawi (2001) Having noticed that Iran's replacement for Lanjani is Mohammad al-Qadr I decided to reread this book, which he translated from Arabic to Farsi. The title might be a western cosplayer's wet dream but visit any bookshop in Cairo/Amman/Ramallah and...
