Cringes me every time Andy Burnham sells his Everton credentials. PS, I'm a committed none voter. Ross Edwards 3 Posted 11/05/2013 at 15:15:45 Oh boo hoo Burnham. Concentrate in pushing the Tories out or preferably getting rid of Wallace (Ed Milliband), rather than boo hooing over our now ex manager. Roberto Birquet 4 Posted 11/05/2013 at 15:30:23 Wallace will come good. Bloody hope so. Especially, Nick Entwistle, 'cos he is NOT New Labour. And Thank God! Nationalise the banks and build houses with land tax receipts from housebuilder company parasitic fucks!And one infrastructure project for Liverpool would be finding a reason to help us build a stadium. Charles Barrow 5 Posted 11/05/2013 at 20:27:07 I once had a conversation with a new labour big wig about Moyes last year. He couldn't believe I could criticise him. He had swallowed all the media hype. Kenwright is a big donor to Labour and Burnham's best mate. Dennis Stevens 6 Posted 11/05/2013 at 23:16:19 Pity Kenwright won't even invest in Everton, let alone donate. Barry Roberts 8 Posted 12/05/2013 at 08:44:42 Nick 316,If you don't vote then you get the government that you deserve.PS, if you really are a non voter, then you should be committed! Gavin Ramejkis 9 Posted 12/05/2013 at 09:21:14 Nick not sure if you were capable but did you vote on the DK ballot or abstain on that? Barry Rathbone 10 Posted 12/05/2013 at 09:24:04 Burnham is my identi-kit Moyes devotee a supporter of the chattering class type dependent on the media for opinion - a lighter shade of blue.Given his shifty antics during the MP expenses scandal it's no surprise he's one of the many not seeing anything wrong in Moyes lies over his contract.Never done a days work in his life straight from Uni into politics he doesn't know which way is up. Brent Stephens 11 Posted 12/05/2013 at 09:52:42 But Burnham did get the Hillsborough investigation reopened, didn't he?? Spoke passionately and convincingly in Parliament. With the Independent panel being set up and the outcome we're now familiar with. Tom Hughes 12 Posted 12/05/2013 at 10:44:50 Barry, You are at best speculating that Moyes has lied...... meanwhile our board has been shown to have lied many times. Who is at greater fault for our current plight? Our club had been treading water for years and has missed the boat over and over. ..... who can blame Moyes for not wanting to miss his? Jim Lloyd 14 Posted 12/05/2013 at 12:52:39 Nick, You can see the health service going down the pan and you have the cheek to whinge at Labour! Anyway, he thought Moyes was a top manager. He's entitled to his opinion and there's many more who feel the same. He's no worse an Evertonian than you. I think he's done a decent job but |I don't want to see him picking our new manager, He's going and we are now at tyhe mercy of the Baord and I agree with Tom Hughes, I can't blame him for going to Man U. What worries me, is the antics of the board and especially the cheshire cat. Nick Entwistle 15 Posted 12/05/2013 at 13:07:00 Jim, I think you'll find my support is up there with Doddy for Moyes so I'm with you. Barry 021, no matter who you vote for the government always get in - Bill Hicks.And to back that one up there's a quote from Deepak Chopra which I can't remember but its more or less that if lively debate is encouraged and controlled within an ever narrower line of topics then the more control and power the establishment can hold over the populace.Voting perpetuates the system, and I don't believe in this form of democracy... and yet I'm largely pro-monarchy. Ohhh formula 1 is on! Jim Lloyd 16 Posted 12/05/2013 at 13:32:40 Nick, only asking like, but have you left school yet? Nick Entwistle 17 Posted 12/05/2013 at 13:38:01 What's your point Jim? Jim Lloyd 18 Posted 12/05/2013 at 13:38:48 Well, its a socio/poliical one so shouldn't be on here. So please excuse me Michael. Just that with voting, you at least get a choice, even if it's only the least worse option. Many lost their lives fighting for that right and I think we should exercise that right, not abstain.To the football and I hope we get a manager who likes to attack and not get beaten before we start the match, as I sometimes think Moyse did at some of the important games. I remember sitting at Wembley watching Chelsea start to dismantle us and I think Moyes froze then. I'd like to see someone take us over and start playing creative football. Who? Well, hopefully someone who'll bring a ray of sunshine to Andy Burnham's tearful face! Nick Entwistle 19 Posted 12/05/2013 at 13:47:23 Did they fight for this system which systematically dumbs down the electorate into a mass of celebrity obsessed materialistic shopping monkeys who if bothered to vote are either too tribal for objectivity or swayed by sound bites and poster campaigns?If they fort for freedom, I have the freedom not to vote.. maybe if an option was 'none of the above' then I'd be first down the polling station. Where's that choice? One which disagrees with the system... which we cannot change.So football... erm, yes, I like football. Jim Lloyd 20 Posted 12/05/2013 at 13:58:18 That ain't the system Nick, and that isn't what they fought for. That is mass media churning out drivel... and you cann alweays spoil your vote. Tim Jones 21 Posted 12/05/2013 at 14:09:01 No Nick Entwistle # 169 It was SOCIALISM that did that. Jim Lloyd 22 Posted 12/05/2013 at 14:17:29 hahaha Dearie me. Nick Entwistle 23 Posted 12/05/2013 at 14:06:39 The governement didn't have to open up hundreds of channels to be filled with crap, Labour didn't have to create a high street economy, and all of a sudden we're a country of celebrity obsessed materialistic consumer monkeys distracted from anything of value, high on personal debt, who feel inferior to their own selves because the media lead ideal of lifestyle and appearance can only be possibly attained through buying buying buying... I'm rambling. But here's George Carlin who can say it better than I.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jQT7_rVxAE James Flynn 24 Posted 12/05/2013 at 16:01:03 I voted for ToffeeWeb.COYB TWers. Vote!Where am I ? Gavin Ramejkis 25 Posted 13/05/2013 at 22:22:11 Nick, you didn't answer if you abstained from DKThe keeping up with the Joneses in acceleration goes way back to post war in the US were returning GIs and their boom economy and a glut of white goods saw a brave new world and new housing spring up, that baby boomer generation being fed a stream of media fuelled buy buy buy to a better lifestyle, quaint old England picked this up via the glamour of the movies and later exported TV, Thatcherite Britain gave us the fuck you Jack society and do unto your fellow man to better yourselves. Subsequent governments just perpetuated it.The current media obsession of fame at any cost where the modern low life morons can become millionaires by simply being themselves to titillate the moron masses is sickening, not voting wont change their omni-presence on terrestrial and satellite television Nick Entwistle 26 Posted 14/05/2013 at 01:05:15 If I could have I would have. But that's not politics which I don't buy into... at least the individual having a supposed say.
