[So… Howard Philips]

Exactly.

If they'd learned their lesson, been contrite, and not signed anyone, then you could draw a line under it.

But they're splurging again (albeit on a smaller scale) and giving it the billy big bollocks.

If they’d signed two or three in the positions they need them I could understand.

But they certainly seem to be going for quantity over quality.

[Black Bull Nova]

I think this is what their games will look like this year

Yeah. Good tho that the protest group have their own bus to transport protesters to games.,

Did John Terry park that bus or what?

More links to Che Adams today. It's a mixture of blind faith 'he'll do a job him' type optimism and pessimism on GOT.

"You don't always need a top striker. Anyone remember Marcus bent, bit of a journeyman when he signed for us. But what a season he had when we qualified for the champions league. Che Adams could be our Marcus bent"

I must have missed that one.

He only scored six fucking goals for them that season

If memory serves the RS Collina deliberately cheated to stop them actually qualifying.

[Ghost Town]

Qualifying without qualifying?

[Terry de Niro]

If memory serves the RS Collina deliberately cheated to stop them actually qualifying.

I've actually heard it from more than one bitter mouth that because we won the competition in 2005, thus qualifying for the 2005/06 competition (even though we had to appeal), UEFA wanted one of the 5 English sides out, pronto, and that's why the mighty Ev were cheated by the said RS Collina.
Nothing to do with them being shite.

Collina's final competitive game was a Champions League qualifier between Everton and Villarreal on 24 August 2005. He announced his retirement soon after the game

What a way to go out

He saw that shit on display in that game from the Ev and said - fuck it - I'm done if this is the level of teams in the Champions League

There have been 6 major World events in the last 100+ years that have been deliberately engineered and set in motion by a RS deep state conspiracy to prevent the Ev becoming the footballing titans they deserve to be,

World War 1 (Gavrilo Princip RS)
World War 2 (Hitler RS)
FA Cup semi final '77 (Clive Thomas RS)
Heysel (RS hooligans)
Villarreal' 05 (RS Collina)
Russians Invasion of Ukraine (NATO/EU RS)

As you can see, each of these world events was deliberately schemed to coincide with Ev World domination, it's only now after a century we can join the dots of the planet wide RS conspiracy.

Though hasn't Hitler been confirmed as having been a bitter blue Ev? There was a magazine article about it posted here

Proof that you don't need to score goals to be a goal scorer - but he is a goalscorer.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

I always thought he was a midfielder.

[Red Beret]

Well apparently they think he's a goalscoring midfielder. Our defenders will probably score more than him.  Hell, Alisson will probably score more.

You’ve missed off the deliberate seeding of Covid into the population. Unfortunately all those perfectly legitimate calls to freeze the season were ignored and the RS went on to win the Title*.

Went past this before. The stench was awful.

Good job football isn't a summer sport and it'll usually be freezing there but Everton could have been at home tomorrow in theory playing there in 30+ temperatures. Would have had to enforce face masks again.

They like to boast about their "large" local fanbase but a staggering number of them seem to be unaware of, or burying their heads in the sand about, the waste treatment works. When (if?) it gets completed, the moaning is going to be off the scale when the aroma hits home

They'll have to pump-in creosote fumes to both mask the stench and make them feel more at home

My stomach has hit my throat a few times driving past Sandon Dock. It's not always bad, but when it is, you know about it.

[Nobby Reserve]

This assumes it's going ahead at all.

Has Moshki-la managed to do the impossible and secure funding for the white elephant?

Come on now Rita. It's on the banks of the Mersey 

Chernobyl could be next door and it wouldn't matter to the blue quarter. And yes, it is a quarter.

They'll need gas masks down there, never mind face masks.

I assume that if they ever get funding for it the blue Echo will be all over it. As yet nothing has been announced.

Our neighbour is a Blue and a steward at both Anfield and the pit. He said they all got invited down to BMD to have a look round. His face was a picture. "Some concrete, some steels" and he rolled his eyes. He admitted ticket prices would have to rise dramatically and they'll need to sell naming rights. He also said they'd bought the Terry's Timber site. No word on whether or not Terry's would be providing the wood for the build to help them feel at home. Anyway, he was a bit puzzled as to why they were invited down there to see a very early stages building site. He wasn't impressed.

what a slow slow build this is. Also looks like it's going to be a very small stadium and cost 500m+ - wow.

On the train this week and I still can't believe how cramped it looks. I know the streets around Goodison are similar- is that the inspiration??

I reckon they are getting to a certain point and then will flog it or get funding, whatever the plan is. If indeed there is one.

I presume to ultimately flatten it and expand the BMD complex over the road.  If so it would be a shame as the timber yard has been there forever (certainly since I was a little kid) and is a rare pleasant smell if you walk or cycle down that way.

I think the ground has come on more than I thought it would and I hope they finish it.  I'm not sure it's the "game changer" some make it out to be as Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Bolton, Coventry, Derby etc. have found in recent years.  They do need to get out of Goodison though.

That was how he described it after being on the site.

He was more interested in talking about his holiday than the ground though.

[Ghost Town]

No! Surely Terry's Timber can't fall victim to blueshite expansionism?

I love the smell of wood. My late dad used to be a joiner, so the smell of wood was always in the house.

Talking about being a game changer. I wonder how they'll take it once the realisation kicks that it's just same old shite, different location?

Off the top of my head I can't think of a club whose fortunes have changed dramatically for the better due to having a new stadium. Particularly one that saddles them with a monumental debt to repay.

I'm amazed they've got this far, given that they don't actually have the funding to fully build it and fit it out.

Moshilad's bank account must be taking a pasting just getting it this far along.

At least there's a lot of hustle and bustle around Goodison. Residential streets, County Road, a plethora of boozers etc (like with Anfield). This 'iconic location' is wastelands with that one little boozer over the road. All the talk of fan zones at the site but who wants to stand around in the cold and freeze of the Mersey, or with the stench of the sewer on a hot day?

No doubt they'll try and knock the wall down and fill in the neighbouring dock once it's built.
