LCAB has motivated me to write something about our greatest ever post war player. I want to get rid of a couple of ghosts. The news that The Man had been sold came as such a shock; from out of the blue, that gossip started to do the rounds. Bally deserves the truth and not the lies that...

This was the day that one of the greatest Everton teams was finished as a force. We lost 2 - 1 to Liverpool in the semi final of the F A Cup, and it was evident that there was no coming back for some of the players. Some were ageing, others had a catalogue of previous serious injuries, others...

Oswald Mosley and friends wore a strange outfit. They had quite a thing for black; liked shiney boots; favoured a certain cut of trouser. They were given to large meetings, marches, and seemed to have adopted the Union flag as their very own. Oswald and his mates had managed to identify the...

Apparently it's important for His followers to ask themselves, "What would Jesus Do" in tricky situations. Can anyone imagine Jesus as an executioner ... into rifles, lethal injections, hanging and what have you? Can you really call yourself a Christian if you support capital punishment?

Hicks and Gillett have lost their case. They may appeal.

Are you currently receiving NHS care? Are you likely to need it in the next five years? Do you have school age children? Do any friends or relatives receive any form of state benefit? Do you work for the government or council? Or do any of your contracts depend on the government or...

It's my sad duty to share the following. From Sky ... Breaking news ... "Detectives have today revealed that they have broken a ring of subversives known to each other as Partizan Walton. Detective Inspector Spooner is quoted as saying, "This dangerous band of men, led by a cross dressing...

The well known Liverpool Supporters comfort room has been having accommodation problems recently. So many "Franchise Kop" whiners have been overloading the pages of this illustrious chatroom that it has to wind down for a breather now and again. Thank goodness no emotionally mature...

Will get all sorts of poo for posting this, but today is the great man's feastday. Apart from Christ, probably the only other true Christian. Absolutely not one single molecule of hypocrisy in his body. Brill bloke. And he could play right wing.

If Moyes were ever to leave, people are always asking, "Who would you replace him with". Bah! Too easy. Who would be the unlikeliest replacement. I'd go with Anne Widdecombe. May not have any experience of playing in the hole, but would discipline any whingeing players severely.

I'm not very comfortable that DM and BK appear to be so cosy together. From where comes the pressure to improve? And has that element of cosiness spread to some of the players? Something stinks here. I suspect it's a bit more complex than Round is a yes man, BK has no dosh, and the rest of...

I live in the U K but am Irish. Recently joined a social club and nipped in there for a quiet gallon and it turned out there was a function in the, erm, function room. All very jolly. Couple of hundred men and women, average age maybe around thirty. Well behaved. Lots of scarves and...

A country questions itself, mourns the dead, deals with issues of global importance. Meanwhile, in a trailer park, somebody's eggs were too cold ... If any of you believe you could have written this story, why are you wasting time on this site? You should be writing full time and sending...

Alexander Young. AKA the Golden Vision, also AKA as the Golden Ghost (Who's the player with it all ... Little Curly Alan Ball; Who's the player with the most ... Alex Young, the Golden Ghost). Ahem. Ladeez an gennelmen. It was a bloody cold winter in 63. Goodison had undersoil heating...

Apparently, he's had to put up with rumours about his sexuality for 13 years. O.K., so why would you then risk adding fuel to the rumours by sharing a bedroom with a man 20 years your junior? Isn't that just plain bad judgment? And do we really want a man who shows such bad judgment in...

Oh those moments where the skin tingles, the colour rises, and death would be a happy outcome as long as it happens NOW. One of my worst moments was as a teenager. I was serving Mass in the Cathedral when Archbishop Beck was going strong. In those days, it was regarded as an honour to be...

For me, the late Miss Maccoll & His Knibbs, Macgowan. Don't really know why, tbh, but it hits the spot. (Also loving the pogues & Dubliners singing Irish Rover, but that's, hmm, off topic. Ladeez n Gennelmen, I give you Fairytale of New York. (y)

The coalition has confirmed its determination to end mixed sex wards by Christmas. Oh. Wasn't that a Labour initiative? Will the coalition be reaffirming its belief that crime is bad and puppies are cuties? That Night tends to be darker than day? Here's a thought: why don't they...

Some time ago, about 7.00 a.m. yesterday, I wrote that teams that win things don't need excuses. They just do it. As it happens, I believe that there's another few weeks to go before we can make any kind of reasonable assessment of the current mob. The jury is out. 1984 / 85. horrible...

Wonderful site which gives details even the biggest nerd won't have thought about asking for. So looked up 1962/63. Thing is, we'd done the double over United by the end of August. Had a shocker against Leyton Orient. But, by and large, we won the games we were expected to win, and a few...
