Thanks for bring it to my attention.

Mark OBrien is top notch. ' Roberto, whose expression recently is of one who has just had a bag yanked off his head in an Isis video...'

"And the winner is..."

At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me. Your previews. Chances are, GrandOldTeam has inadvertently abused every single person in that room at some point.

"GRAND OLD TEAM..."

That traipse from the back of the room to the stage, and eventual speech... seemed an eternity.

I'm pretty sure one table in particular was full of Hull Tigers fans too.

Did you fist pump at the announcement with a big old yee-ha!!

New Park End stand built in 1907 raised the capacity to 60,000. They had some get up and go then, but they were still moaning about people standing in the stands.

Please link me if that ever happens lid. I only really know about Hull, because they went mental at calling them Hull Tigers.

They complained officially to @GrandOldTeam who copied me on his response where he rather beautifully told them to "behave" and may have called them soft lad.

Then they fumed some more lobbying local politicians etc. An ace preview that, well the title of it anyway.

They still hate us.

You should have apologised for calling them Hull Tigers and then called them Hull Tigers the pride of Humberside.

What a great description of Everton at the moment. From thisisnotfootball.co.uk

"Anyway, back to Blighty and that absolute shower of s**t on Sunday. Once again an Everton home game resembled an entire World Cup group stage condensed into 90 minutes.
The opening match is cagey, with lots of passing and probing but few risks taken – a point’s no disaster at the very start of the tournament; your destiny’s still in your own hands. The second game sees you open up a bit but things go wrong leaving you needing a result from the final match and hoping for a draw in the Croatia-Ghana game. By the end of that last one you are throwing on a striker who viewers might remember from a short spell at Bournemouth and Steve Claridge is declaring in his incredulous tones: ’If they’d played like this against the Ghanaians they wouldn’t be going out of the tournament. Unbelievable!’
That’s exactly what Everton home games feel like."


Can we bring this lad in on loan, and @chicoazul can add some pictures please.

Can't find any. 1960's - to 2000 games?

Is Mark O'Brien the guy who used to write on WSAG? Used to love that site.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Have not read everything of course, but from the snap shots decent wing play is the future.

 

[Toffeelover]

Mark O'Brien runs that site. If you want to read a proper preview then get on it.

He's tremendous. Happy to admit miles and miles better than mine. I keep on meaning to read it more but I forget.

Old age catching up mate, happens to us all eventually just sooner with some than others.

Great site that, one little thing, clicked on gallery and nothing happened.

That does appear to be a problem. If you know the specific club it appears that all the details of the games are in the statistics bit.

Hahaha so that's why you were introducing @micknick as @chicoazul .

All makes sense now....
