They found baby sausages in BMD?

Bollocks.
“Works on the site…”
Expect us to believe that 😉

Must be in charge of the blue traffic cones.

There's a Man City thread on GOT - those that are being critical of City are being accused of being Liverpool fans.

Very happy to be subservient to the moral vacuum of Man City while accusing Liverpool of being the Devil's Club at the slightest sign of rectitudinal imperfection.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Two years left.

Not that I think he's good enough for the Reds, but imagine the fewm if he ran his contract down then signed for us on a Bosman.

their attutude to Man City says it all about them as fans. Everton are one of the clubs who City overtook due to their lottery win. Yet they are fine about that, because it means Liverpool suffer.

Rafa has already won them a trophy. 🏆

Jobs done..😛

[Garrus]

Where's the baby shark money, Bill?

[Charlie Adams fried egg]

Where's the baby shark money, Bill?

They're probably dogfish.

[12C]

They are all getting giddy because the digger at BMD has an Everton badge on it - and blue cones in evidence as well

[Red Raw]

Bookmarked for LOLs (and the inevitable thread title change).

[Flaccido Dongingo]

"We're gonna need a bigger traffic cone".

[Medellin]

Well done lads, finally something to put in the cabinet to replace that fucking clock.

[Tobelius]

We all dream of winning the big Florida Cup mug..

[Welshred]

Apparently they're going to install a webcam so you can see the lack of progress

[Flaccido Dongingo]

When's the parade?

[DonkeyWan]

Did anything actually happen today, the big start of the new stadium day?

Yes, well done to them for winning Ole Big Ear

They are mad about the stadium… totally mad..

They actually think reds are jealous … and not one single person is jealous.  Why would we be?  We are in our home, a home that will be atleast 10000 bigger than their new stadium.

So why do we care?

1., it’s funny seeing it fail year after year and plan after plan collapses.

2. If it goes well? Greta news. Good for the city.  But the reds have by far the better stadium still.

We didn't build our home though. Everton did. In much the same way as Trigger had the same broom for 20 years.

What about The Best Team Named Everton Trophy mate?

I remember watching a vid where a United fan did the stadium tours of both clubs, probably around 2017. Turns out Everton didn't have a trophy room anymore, it had been turned into some kind of (bland looking) corporate suite.

I've actually been in the Trophy room and the boardroom back in 2009. The trophy room was bizarre, full of daft trophies that you've never heard of. The boardroom (as it was) felt like it had room for about 6 people (12 if they wanted to be uncomfortable) and appeared to have been decorated when Harry Catterick was manager. The whole thing did have an antiquated quaintness and a nod to history that I quite liked but it must be bizarre when you've played for someone like Real Madrid and you go there which feels closer to Marine than the Bernabau.

[Black Bull Nova]

Why've they listed a replica Jules Rimet trophy...

Because the team that England beat in the Semis and the 3 times winners Brazil both played at Goodison in 1966 (and, to be fair, Ray Wilson and Alan Ball won it)

Sunderland have a great stadium, Fleetwood, Morecombe, Accrington and Burton Albion fans are all jealous when they visit

Never knew Thunberg was a bitter if I'm honest

There's a surprisingly thoughtful post on GOT about the difference between our two clubs from that era on. Catterick (whom I was actually ignorant of) was a control freak who didn't trust others with his plans, and Everton drifted after him with the exception of a period under Kendall, who somehow managed to learn something despite Catterick. Shankly, in contrast, delegated to a team of trainee apprentice managers, and there was a smooth transition to successors. And that was why we won so much for so long.

Greta would be proud of their teeny, tiny carbon footprint though. What with their super-efficient new boiler and well known determination never to play in Europe.

[harleydanger]

Imagine Ham-EZZZZZZ doing the Rafa preseason. That 'hill of death' he had here.

That should be the webcam.

New stadium update

https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2198905

I mean, they still need to raise £500m from somehwere, but they appear to be starting something.

[Welshred]

Bit weird to name the stadium after Colin Chong but that's the Ev for you I guess...

They're probably anxious to be seen doing something as we plough ahead with redeveloping another stand. Trying to keep up with us is going to destroy them.

[Brain Potter]

They’ll still be at Goodison or building on the wasteland on the east Lancs at croxteth near the cinema in 10 years.

Shankly, in contrast, delegated to a team of trainee apprentice managers, and there was a smooth transition to successors. And that was why we won so much for so long.

Catterick was an aloof, miserable sod whilst Shankly was warm and charismatic. As well as forward thinking. Honours were roughly equal in the 60s but whilst we signed the likes of Keegan and Clemence they sold their best player in Alan Ball in 1970? - pretty much the start of their terminal decline, interrupted by Kendall's, albeit brief, spell of excellenc.

But Catterick had played for Everton so he fitted like a glove.
