Hull v Everton

Where do you travel from Dave, and where is your seat. is Mersey rail an alternative for you?

Looks good 👍

Jeff yes that’s what I do – open every reply — it is tiresome though Jeff and hopefully it will be sorted out before too long

Absolutely – it’s a jumbled mess now. You can’t see any posts, and it always defaults to ‘best’ posts. Well who decides what’s best?? I just want chronological order like normal forums are. Ridiculous.

Brian I live in knotty ash and have been using the bus then the soccer bus to get to BMD, takes the stress of parking and walking out of it,but does take longer. Couple of decent watering holes along the way helps too. I’m finding the only way to not miss a comment is to open every reply to each comment on each thread.

Only Evertonians could turn a thread where the manager literally comes out in support of the fans, into a tirade against the manager! Some of these comments are laughable.

Dave Abrahams yes I know the feeling the walk to and from my car at matches is becoming a pain then after getting to my car its taking me a further hour to get home and I only live in West Derby. Can somebody tell me how I can see Dave’s latest post is one he posted 23 hours ago and none of his latest. i scroll down to were it says click here to see more replies but it still doesnt show me any of the latest posts.

They’ll probably target the team bus again. That’s their low level. Equivalent of a slug victim fans. (Sorry slugs). Saint Virgil will have a field day chopping down Haaland getting away with it. And I absolutely hate City. I just hate those bastards more.

Brian it’s simply the difficulty in getting to and from the new ground, my legs are on the blink and going to the game in the dark is dangerous because you can’t see where you’re going and same as at Goodison dozens of people walking blind looking or talking at their mobile phones, you’ve got to have eyes in the back of your head. My seat in the Upper Bullens was a better speck for me although the new ground is a fabulous stadium and you can’t have your cake and eat it and my spirit is always watching Everton wherever they play. Watching Everton now and the football they play means I don’t miss it as much as I thought I would— but never say never and we will get back up there chasing silverware but not sure when.

I hope you’re right John. But what’s happened to the pre match thread with the predicted line up?

Not to mention the punishment by the officials.

What did he say when he was “speaking out against the owners” ?

Cant wait to see the banners the self righteous put up at anfield today.

Don’t agree Mike. Although I was like you, hoodwinked into thinking their silence and non attendance at a game was just their way of doing business, all the clues now make sense. It was just a quick buck, an easy, relatively risk free move, buying us, using their financial clout to stabilise us and move us on. These guys don’t make snap decisions, this was their plan. Transfer window was irrelevant to them, they weren’t investing their money in to the squad it was just what we generated.

3 points needed here against a newly promoted club. Hopefully David gets on the front foot today.

He does mention it in a reply to me Brian, but finding it is like pulling teeth mate. You have to open every post and every reply to see a conversation flow, although that’s the problem, they don’t flow!

What they’ve done is totally legitimate in the business world: seeing a business that should be worth a lot more but is in distress, buying it, returning it to stability, and then selling it for a profit. That’s good business. HOWEVER this should absolutely not be allowed when it comes to football clubs in the UK, they are not assets in distress that can be flipped. They are the cultural fabric of many of our cities and towns. The FA is absolutely toothless and, I suspect, corrupt. They have allowed so much corruption to enter our game, including the abomination that is Man City, but also the horrendous corruption of Roman Abramovich. Everton are not clean in this. Everyone in football now knew that Usmanov was actually running the club. If someone just pulls together the information to prove this, Arsenal and Everton will be in real trouble for having not only an owner who owns significant stakes in two clubs but also, for the corrupt sponsorship deals that Usmanov threw Everton’s way

Dave Abrahams in the recent posts you have said you are considering giving up your season ticket. But I cant find that post on here. Would have really liked to have heard your views after having a season ticket for so long you are now considering giving it up. I dont know why the new owners bought this site as you can see how few posters there are using this site. Despite Harry Diamond and Michael Kenrick imploring the owners to change the format to something we can all relate too, the new owners dont seem to want to listen to them. Its completely destroyed the enjoyment of this site for me.

What a load of negative sh*t. What garbage has he served up? Stabilising the club from nearly being relegated every season? Clearly backing the fans behind the scenes and publicly on Armstrong? Speaking out against the owners? Paid £6m without any pressure? Was there no pressure at the end of last season?Having the smallest squad in the league with huge holes in it and still delivering? I bet he out performs all of our previous managers for the last 9 years this season. What was he plotting with Ferguson? He got offered the biggest job in world football at the time from one of the greatest managers in the history of the game. Have you heard him talk about it and what a hard decision it was or do you just wallow in angry about everyone who has ever left the left the club? Grow up! No wonder we do so badly at home with negativity like this.

Replying to your previous post I’m in the process about deciding about my season ticket this could be my last season.

Eddie that right back is Francis Boggan who can play centre back as well— 16 years old and look at the size of him and plays like a Scouser who knows how to play the game, keep your eye out for him Eddie.

It definitely was Dave , didn’t see it though😜 Good to see your still interested and watching, I think you’ve given up your ST haven’t you?

Jeff I had another post about the United v Spurs game which was accepted but has now gone missing- it was a bleedin brilliant post as well.!

But since you asked so nicely. “The facts are clear: TFG came in and saved the club, have put us on a sound financial footing that is “sustainable” in the medium term under the new SCR rules.” “Another whopper – “and seek to dispose of Everton Football Club from their portfolio of interests.” They have not, it has been known for some time that they are seeking minority investors.” “It’s okay to be frustrated and we all want success. There is no evidence that they are asset strippers. IMO they are going about it in the right way.” “The claim of Quinn that the investment funds have dried up. They are still investing and he does not have any evidence for this wild accusation, all just conjecture again with hyperbole added.” These are your posts from 24 days ago.

Yes, sad to see. Toffeeweb died.

“’Introspection Brown, you need a lesson in manners and you are going to get it, you have picked on the wrong person”, “ Please bring the receipts or you will be declared a low life liar”, “Come on big boy bring the receipts.” And I am the aggressive one? I politely pointed out your inconsistency and blather, and it sounds like you want a fight. Take it easy Granddad.

Mike G. Other than the Friedkins, who are the substantial shareholders? Any of them with the financial clout and interest in buying out the Friedkins, in your opinion? To UK twebbers on here, any thoughts about British billionaires, who might be interested. TIC – New prime minister makes a move for the UK Govt to buy them out. Saudi Arabia like? Er! just anxious to find out if there is an interested party and it is/they are!

Good enough to play for england but a play a bit deeper

I agree , the new format is not fun at all. When you open a new article, it shows ’0 Comments’! But when you go in , you find some responses. It is really painful to click on each of the ‘Show Replies’. The absense of numbers to the contributions also makes it difficult to refer a post in my contribution. It has been a frustrating experience so far and I hope the site owners are working on improving it.

My feelings also Dave as well as quite a few others – several of whom have very different views compared to my own.

Good job it’s not subscription type site – they’d go broke in no time at all.

Don’t ask challenging questions Paul mate, he’s seems a bit confused. He can’t even remember his previous posts.

What are these ‘change in circumstances’?

What on earth are these ‘changing circumstances’ which your refer to multiple times but do not tell us what they are?

If they find a buyer pretty soon – well all is good (or not if they’re just more carpetbaggers.) If there’s no takers, then how long do they keep up on the back burner? There are (this is Everton so there always are) problems down the road Moyes; (take him or leave him ) has 9mths left on his contract. Do they stick or Twist? If they stick how long does he screw them/(us?) for this time? If they Twist, who will they get? who would want it with Owners who want out and seem loath to put any extra cash in? As always with The Ev – more questions than answers

Is right Darren ,his football was awful

In total agreement mike -another example of evertons transfer incompetence ! Piss up in a brewery.

Oh yeah, btw, I’m switching up on the owner moniker. Rather than referring to St Daniel the Absent as the WTFG (what the fuck group), now I am using FTG. As in, fuck that guy! Credit to all those who have said what they are dealing out as not fucking good enough. They would have run that shitty little asset toy game for a couple more seasons if only you were more manipulable. Credit to John Collins’ scousers seeing phonies reference earlier.

I am Spartacus We gotta get this wonderful website through difficult times. It’s fecking picked me up off the floor more times than I care to remember.

It’s this whole thing about having to open EVERY conversation and then open EVERY reply to get a full appreciation of the thread, it’s ridiculous. And you have to do it EVERY time you leave and return to the topic , it’s tedious.

As long as Tony (and Dave, of course) and you keep posting, I’m fuckin logging in. Gritting teeth and getting on with it.

Tony, i go up and down about this site. It’s like all my usual friends moved from a punk house to a gentrified neighborhood. I think the site may get looks from new people, hitting the like buttons, but it is burdening some of those who could really liven up the party, like Eugene and Larry and Rob + others. And I imagine some of our esteemed football gentlemen, like a Macfarland Sr. or McKane just look on with a wistful pass.

Probably not at first but it became more evident as the months went on, some saw it, some refused to see it, but in the end even TFG saw it. If you’re lucky £150 Million probably gets you in the Champions League in Serie A. If you’re really lucky in the Premier League (see Sunderland) that same £150 Million might see you 6th or 7th (unless you’re Moyes then it’s 13th for you) or if you’re unlucky relegated. Thanks for sorting out the debts and arranging us a (fixed @ 7.8% for 30 yrs) mortgage – now take your profits and fuck off.

Tbf Dale , Rob was one of many, many contributors we don’t see nowadays, his wingman Brian Williams is no longer on here and many others, Barry Rathbone, Paul’s nemesis,”I’m in Chicago in a couple of months, let’s meet “ FFS, Paul went and changed his name😂😂 nah, the last year or so has been a big struggle on here but we keep on keeping on for some reason UTFT.

From what I read by MK and Patric, they had no choice , don’t know the reasons for that, but they’ve been trying to get things as back to normal as possible for weeks, it’s been a slow process and they are pissing against the wind it seems, lot’s of regulars are not contributing much ,if anything. First the betting debacle and now the comments issue’s , not been a great 6 months for TW but if things improve people who have a look will drift back, I did after the last big change, once the AI manufactured shit stopped that is.

Uh, what? Or, what did I do to prompt that? Oh, the ‘Big Boy’ thing, maybe. One Steve taunted the other with a big boy tag. And I’m telling you and Tony, spread the word, stop using the reply function. It squeezes the prose into a column of craptacular dimension. Then, those posts earning responses go to the top of the ‘Best’ sort. Stop using Best as well. Either we figure out how to make this work, or we all wear suit and ties to post at Evertonia. Obviously no offence to Lyndon, but it is a bit too formal over there for me. [insert Yank jibe, you know you want to]

I was actually going for poignant Tony. The virtual pub I think was coined by Mike G. Wonderful analogy. Dale… you on Everpornia again?

Funny but also sad at the same time though Brendan. I know which Steve, my money is on, but it’s getting very tedious trying to keep up with conversations on this website. I’m trying to hang in there but it can’t be long before last orders are called in our little virtual pub.

But at least you could still have a conversation with everyone when Rob, decided to leave though Dale. I’ve looked at a couple of other football websites, over the last few years, which have a similar way of communicating, in line with this newer version of Toffeeweb, and my own personal view was that they couldn’t lace this website’s boots. Unfortunately, now I’m not so sure
