Seeding of Everton's new pitch to begin next month

We can save money by not buying manure, just get the manager to talk to the grass. Utter shite.

To be fair though, it's not usually Evertonians that I hear it from. It's usually gobshites and cunts.

Did you make that one up all by yourself?

We couldn't stay at Goodison and should have moved years ago.

That one's been done to death.

Don't be a sheep........

Right, who's going to suggest that we might be playing Wrexham there next season?

Churning out something that's been said more times than "fuck me" doesn't really qualify.

Presumably though, Shaun's a fellow Evertonian? No need for everyone to pile on him given he's part of the family.

Read the threads, he's actually got off quite lightly. 🤣

No… I just keep getting the number for the Samaritans flashing up.

But never a truer word said in jest. We must sort this season out quickly.

3 points coming our way!!!

I have an Adblocker (paid for) but still get ads on this site, though not necessarily Peroni!

Only seems to happen with TW; other sites are ad-free.

The issue I've got is how slow the site is when I'm typing, Maybe it's my browser, but I've tried two.

I revert to Word and then cut and paste.

Not that I go often but the Daily Mail and Liverpool Echo are awful.

Championship? Na, they'll be playing Carsball come January and Beto will score a hat-trick against Southampton in our final game at Goodison to secure a place in the Europa League.

Someone, anyone, please let me know when I can wake up?

Hippy dayz, Blues.

I can't wait for the BMD era - the old Everton era has ended with a whimper and we need a fresh start.

I just hope we have a fresh and proactive new manager in place for that first game. Definitely not Davey Moyes.

Agree with what you say about the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, however hurtful it will be leaving Goodison.

I remember the dark days of the early '80s, mid-week cup games with less than 10k attendances. They felt miserable to a youngster barely in his teens (born in '68) but we always sensed a motivation, a desire to be the best. That seems to be gone now.

Many of us were there for that Oxford Utd replay in the snow, the first league title of the '80s, standing on the wide metal bars and up against the fence in the Enclosure, the European Cup-Winners Cup run culminating with the Bayern win, countless FA Cup games and midweek replays — the marathon Sheffield Wednesday matches which ended up with us 5-1 up a half-time at Hillsborough.

The Sheedy free-kicks against Ipswich and his scissor kick which flew passed Tony Coton. A hero to me as he was to the likes of Danny O'Neill. The '84 5-0 thrashing of Man Utd. Lineker's 4 goals in the 6-1 demolition of Arsenal.

Terry Curran swinging on the Gwladys Street fence, Alan Biley's hair, Bob the Pole legging it down the wing.

A brief snapshot of so many memories shared with fellow Blues of my age.

The Royle Revival, The Spurs Semi-Final, and that run & cross by Gary Ablett... God love him; the FA Cup Final win, Big Dunc wearing a bluenose with me at 27 openly crying; and of course the majestic Andrei Kanchelskis.

We have thousands of fans who don't have these memories, don't know what it's like, don't know how winning makes you feel. All last Century but all burning bright in the hearts & souls of many of us.

My dad's time and luckily still fondly remembered by our senior fans — those we look toward for stories of the School of Science and tales of the Holy Trinity, Catterick, the '66 FA Cup Final.

My dad's idol was Hickson who I was lucky enough to meet as he conducted us through the hallowed corridors on our stadium tour. He was also a good friend of Brian Labone and Johnny Morrisey senior.

The '70s — a time of Latchford, Thomas, Mackenzie.

Distant memories of glory drifting further away day by day.

My great, great grandfather was there at the beginning of Goodison; I'll be there at the end, passing the baton on to my offspring to hopefully build memories alongside the Royal Blue Mersey.

I was born in '68 and can remember many of those memories.

Personally I hope we banish all those things to the past and properly modernise everything, not just the stadium, but the whole matchday needs updating in my view.

What's the consensus among people on here? All the talk of our 'istory is just that, history. Should we keep doing the same old things or move with the times and reinvent the club as a whole?

Keep Z-Cars, bin the rest.

Do you think if a certain other club moved stadiums they'd ditch that sickening Gerry Marsden dirge?

That said, we do need to move on... and into a new era. Maybe we keep Z-Cars but update the other songs to reflect us finally moving into the 21st century.

It's a commercially astute club to play for...

Eeeeveeeerton, you've never navigated appeals processes so expertly...

Therefore we're more than an average club because we've got a great history, whereas the likes of Newcastle (Skunk Maggots) and Spurs (big club, my arse!), have got next to no history, so therefore they are less than an average club!

We are a big club that lost our way, but the fantastic fan base young and old has never gone away. Sold out home and away every week.

A 30,000 waiting list for a season ticket.

Incredible. When we win something, and we will, there will be the equivalent of a nuclear explosion. Forget the other lot, it will be raw genuine passion and emotion, not fake pretending.

You'll need to hold me!!!

What really pisses me off is those who say “we're irrelevant”. So like probably 95% of the Premier League are irrelevant, we're there just to make the numbers up.

Hundreds of thousands of fans go to games every week. Many more rabidly follow it from afar. The majority of these follow teams who don't win trophies, don't win every week. Like Everton fans, these fans all love their clubs, kick every ball, live every minute.

Yes, we haven't won a trophy for far too long. But does that make us matter any less than other clubs? Of course it doesn't. We are Everton. Win, lose or draw.

Last weekend hurt so much because it matters so much. I wouldn't have it any other way (although I'd possibly sell a kidney for 3 points).

We said exactly the same thing.

Well said, mate. I've been trying to make that point on here for a long time.

Palace fans, Bournemouth, never a hope of winning a trophy but they're there annoyingly singing all the way through their games (Palace anyway), week-in & week-out.

They know and accept they have no given right to win a trophy.

Same as us. We have no given right to win one. The fact that we've had very successful periods in our past seems to be a weight around our neck rather than something to be proud of, thankful for.

If the so-called Top 6 did go to a European Super League, do you think TV companies would still be paying billions to show the remaining Premier League teams?

Absolutely not, we'd be lucky to get 20 million a year in TV revenue.

There is not and never was a plan for clubs to leave the Premier League and join the European Super League.

The European Super League was and still is being planned to replace Uefa's European club competitions. The clubs themselves remain in their domestic leagues.
