I’ll have a bitter please...It’s the Everton thread

I have to say they looked really dreadful last night… they spent 40 minutes trying to injure WHU players.

HaHa… They really hate us don’t they :0)
See the headline…

“Throwback to when Salah beat up an Everton fan, forced him to wear a Liverpool kit and pose for a picture”

Looks like they have agreed a deal for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to play at the Hill Dickinson and have submitted a 3rd bid for Tyler Dibling. Getting ready for life in the Championship already?

Dewsbury Hall is about mid table PL player.

In other words, a real transfer coup! Everton may yet win the transfer window, again

Sounds like a middling venue on the comedy circuit.

No one has Scott Parkered at Chelsea quite as well as him since Drinkwater.

It wold be a good move for Everton though. Also interesting the figures been talked about for Dibbling, which seem far more reasonable at about only half the cost as was being said last season Southampton would want to let him leave

Drinkwater does sound like a mid counties town.

These pricks are playing a friendly against Roma at the weekend which is also supposed to be a test event for a full-house at the Hickory-Dickory-Dock stadium.
They are playing a ‘legends’ game afterwards so many will stay behind for that meaning they wont have had chance to monitor 53000 people leaving the ground at the same time before the real stuff kicks off the week after.
Call me a cynic but I dont see any other reason to tag the legends game onto a friendly other than somebody’s arse twitching like a rabbit’s nose at the potential for a fucking disaster to occur.
I’ll have family members attending that game and it scares the fucking life out of me.

All the best. Is there any particular reason for your concern? I have not followed the development of this stadium closely at all. Have there been concerns raised about possible safety issues?

Nope. Almost impossible for these cretin to get relegated considering the standard of the promoted clubs.

We’ll have to make do with their fanbase throwing all the toys out of the pram when they inevitably position themselves 16th or 17th in the middle of the season.

Their results will improve slightly after that and they’ll be comfortably safe though.

Bit late getting back to you but yes, there are no approaches on 3 sides of the ground meaning potentially 53000 people are being funnelled out onto one main road.
Turn right and head into town you will come to a bridge that can only be crossed by so many people at a time. At one of their test events with only half-capacity they actually had a bloke sitting on some sort of umpires chair controlling the numbers. Don’t know if this will be the case going forward but it was fucking ludicrous.
Coming out of that stadium in the middle of winter when it’s pitch dark and pissing down wont be fun.
I’ve dropped my Mrs off and picked her up from Goodison for years and will continue to do so from BMD but have told her to stay in the ground for a good 10-15 minutes after the final whistle because the whole thing looks a disaster waiting to happen.

Unfortunately evertonians are so used to that feeling that I’m not sure the safety implications will register.

They’re in for Grealish according to the Beeb

Honestly, its his level and with a manager like Moysey with the right combination of strictness and making accommodations for a level of talent he’s lucky to have in his side, I think he’d likely get the best out of him.

Yeah if they get the Villa version they get a good player.
