ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Khalekan]

This is simply not true. Sure, there will be plenty of people who are aware of us, but to suggest that we are universally recognisable is just plain incorrect.

Did I say we are "universally recognised"?

I said that "anyone who follows English football" will have heard of Everton, no matter where they are in the world.

That is a totally different kettle of bananas.

I wouldn't expect herdsmen out on the Mongolian steppe or Inuits in the frozen wastes of Northern Canada or Hottentots in African mud huts or good ole boys in Alabama redneck bars to have heard of us nor Liverpool nor Arsenal nor Stoke City either.

Unless they follow English football.

He said that people who know football know Everton. There will be Amazon tribes that don't so take your point.

 

[JAYTALITY]

I love Everton. Just love our club.

 

[peteblue]

Who are these Liverpool FC of whom you speak........

 

[Cork Evertonian]

As if any of that matters to some freshly minted RS from Bangkok.

And of course I was not comparing us to Charlton or Orient ffs. I was merely saying that we are not an internationally recognised club and as such the appeal of visiting our stadium is about the same as the aforementioned stadia would be to your average London daytripper. Sheesh, what an overreaction.

Oh yes we are an internationally recognised club.All football lovers are well aware of Everton FC and what we stand for.

Almost intelligent Kopite alert.

Keeps back-peddling to keep his lunatic compadres at bay.

Take this post down lad. I come here to hate Liverpool. I'm falling in love with this kopite, i haven't felt this confused since I slept with my cousin that time when I was 14.

If you want to believe that, good for you.

I've waited 30 years for a kopite to come out with something sensible like that.

Almost as long as them last winning the league.

How has he done at Napoli? Has he spent much
can't be arsed the simple google answer

 

[Coach]

I hate the way he makes out other clubs pay amazing wages as if Liverpool players are on 30k a week. Gerrard is on about 150k, even Glen Johnson is supposedly on around 100k. Aldridge is a class A tit and the most bitter tit of all the tits that spawn from that club.

According to this

http://www.sportingintelligence.com...rs-rm-barca-best-paid-in-global-sport-150401/

the average wages per week are

City £102k
Utd £83k
Chelsea £76k
Arse £75k
RS £65k
Spurs £51k
QPR £41k
Villa £38k
Fulham £34k
Newc £34k
Everton £33k
Stoke £30k
West Ham £27k
Swansea £24k
Southampton £23k

The last 6 teams there all pay about half of the RS wages or less and are higher than them in the table - and Spurs are level on points.
