    Bye then

    I'll be off then. It's become very clear that an Everton fan with anything less that total adoration for the city of Liverpool is wholly unwelcome on this site, so I'll be on my way. Thanks to those who I've enjoyed chatting with. Please feel free to dislike this post, I'm sure many of you...

    Unbelievable signings

    Just discussing with an RS acquaintance of mine about mad signings, and that the RS extracted £13m from Bournemouth for Jordan Ibe, and also £6m for Brad Smith. I've never even heard of the latter. So who goes down as the worst 'I can't believe they paid that' signing ever? AKA The Niasse Award.

    A shocking revelation

    Netflix's star rating was never an average user rating. It was 'here's how much we think you'll like this' rating, based on your viewing history and that of users with similar viewing histories. Never watch anything political? House Of Cards will show as 1 star. Always on the political stuff...

    Return to form albums

    Currently listening to the frankly superb new Soulwax album 'From Deewee'. Their first major release was back in 1998, and apart from the iconic 2 Many DJs album, their output has been pretty average. Until now. Just wondering which other bands have managed to produce a great album after many...

    Issues with embedded tweets

    Not a major gripe but wondering if there's anything that could be done. My work internet blocks twitter, so any embedded tweets don't come up. I was wondering if there's a way that the text of the tweet could be placed beneath the actual tweet, so everyone can at least get the gist? It'd be...

    Limited but liked

    Flipping the other thread on its head, who are the players who were not great but you liked anyway? Straq, obviously. Abblett - perhaps a little blue-tinted given he's no longer with us, and I think I've grown to respect him more after his time with us than during it. His desperate flailing...

    Unexpectedly brilliant acting

    Actors who have surprised you with a performance you wouldn't expect. 1. Clare Danes - Temple Grandin. Clearly the basis of her Homeland character. One of the best acting performances I've ever seen. 2. Jim Carrey - The Truman Show. Think it was his first straight role after his goofy films...

    Nespresso

    The Dualit died the other day so the missus plumped for a Nespresso. I don't buy into pre-packaged stuff like this normally, but it makes a decent brew. Costly though. Best I've found so far is about 28p per cup. Will stick with the cafeteriere during the week I reckon. Anyone recommend any...

    Timeless tunes

    Songs which never really dated or could still be released now and considered contemporary. 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' is always a great example, fantastic track. Most of Leftism totally stands the test of time too. 'Pump Up The Volume' by MARRS.

    Best cinema film

    Which film wowed you the most on the cinema? Doesn't have to be the greatest film overall, but just the visuals. Gravity is certainly hard to beat (rubbish plot though), but I think There Will Be Blood and Gladiator were equally as impressive for different reasons.

    This Michael Jackson furore

    Overlooking the fact Fiennes looks more like Noel Fielding than MJ, what a load of guff this is. MJ was effectively white when he died. Good luck finding a black man to play him without having to 'white up'.

    80s music

    Watching the Alan Partridge film earlier, featuring one of the truly great tracks of the 80s. A much derided era, that actually produced a wealth of fabulous songs. 2 of the best: Roachford - Cuddly Toy Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World

    PL club threads

    I was thinking yesterday, given this site appears to have a range of fans from other clubs in the PL (and beyond), perhaps it could be a good idea to have dedicated threads for each PL club in World Football? Maybe give them a thread tag like the players have in the Everton forum? I'm not sure...

    Football and education

    New boy Lookman achieved 3A* and 3A at GCSE and completed a BTEC in sport whilst at Charlton's academy. Does a players academic ability have a bearing on their game? Does an intelligent person read the game better? Discuss.

    Most liked posts

    Just wondering whether the GOT chiefs have records of the most liked posts. Be interested to see some of them.

    Present wrapping

    Christ it's boring. Destroys your ankles being knelt down for hours as well. So many irregular shaped ones as well. Complete pain in the arris. And don't get me started on when the sellotape splits and becomes two bits that you can do nothing with.

    David Squires History Of Football

    Bought this for my Dad for Christmas, just had a flick through it, and it's absolutely superb. If you're a fan of his weekly cartoon on the Guardian, you won't be disappointed. Get it bought.

    Job automation & the future

    Apologies if this has been covered before, but there's been more articles recently about automation of jobs and how it will affect the working population. Every industry has it's own form of automation; from robots on the construction line in factories, to my daughter doing her maths homework...

    Fume level: critical

    Inspired by the Goodison exterior thread, I'm wondering which match has caused the highest fume level, individually or collectively? There was a few games in the darkest RM days, around when Jags said the players asked Martinez to let them play a different way, which was very fumesome. I think...
