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

What if they get the overweight, hungover, near-30 version that’s had his creativity leeched out of him by Pep?

He would suit Everton

Looks like there might be something to those Grealish rumours - a relative that works at the Costco on the dock road mentioned that they had a memo through from their Manchester warehouse advising them to order double the usual number of premium larger pallets from next month :clinking_beer_mugs:

Just like the Rooney redo.

With the amount of times Grealish tumbles to the ground, and because that is now part of his DNA, it leaves him incapable of playing in a slick passing, continually moving, tactical and forward running side, that bewilders their opponents.
Everton it is then :0)

Some brilliant lines in this about how well it’s going over at the What the Dickens Hill Stadium:

In a post on X Merseytravel said “Heading to the Everton v AS Roma double-header this weekend?
Everton Stadium is just 30 mins walk from Moorfields station – a great opportunity to get your steps in for the day and soak up the atmosphere for the big game!”

Responses include “Just a mere seven-hour walk from nearby Southport railway station”, and “A great opportunity to swim across the Mersey”.
“Only in Liverpool does the travel service tell you to walk,” another added.

So with insufficient parking or public transport capacity one thing is for sure - LFC fans won’t be the only ones on Merseyside who never walk alone :sweat_smile:

Is it because they won’t put buses on for friendlies?

Wouldn’t take the club to put buses much… if day places like Students’ unions can.

Or is someone just reacting to a throw away line….

The Guardian have published their preview of Everton’s season.

they are predicting that they will finish 13th (average of journalists predictions) and it seems like a fair assessment. I suspect that the biggest challenge will be the toxicity of a portion of their fanbase.

I’ve actually got my doubts they will have that good a season, a new home that won’t have the same impact of travelling to the old place and the fact you had to get changed in a portakabin at times.

The Guardian does touch on the fact that they have a lot of outgoing players and a sparseness of new ones coming in. That’s probably why the have them as lower-mid rather than upper-mid table (they point out that on Moyes form last season they would have finished 8th).

Moyes is obviously a major asset for them now. It’s interesting to see whether the new stadium helps or hinders them as a team.

They might actually get a huge home advantage in the games at their new stadium - anyone associated with Everton will already be used to playing in a foul atmosphere surrounded by the stench of failure and rotting careers but successful players could be put off and have to go full on Robbie Fowler

Going into that stadium, in the middle of winter, when it’s pitch dark and pissing down, to watch that shite, won’t be a picnic either!!

Probably a good deal for Everton. Cheaty write off that much each year on brown envelopes, let alone what goes inside them.
