I visited a friend of mine about 10 years ago that lives not too far away from Boston, in a place called Brockton, it's nickname?, Boogietown, that's probably where the Ev squad are staying

There's a couple of Heavyweight Champs from Brockton MA: Rocky Marciano and Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Either one could sort out Evertons favorite puncher.

Chief Evertonian essayist and GOT milk monitor, Catcher, has offered a series of balanced predictions and financial forecasts about LFC.

As you can guess, it’s bad news. That’s right, for the 7th consecutive season (he was busy with his SATs before that), our scholarly brethren has suggested another fallow year for the boys in red. While laying out the finances, Catcher has used incredible levels of guesswork to explain why it’s all doom and gloom - even exposing Liverpool’s huge losses on the sale of Grujic despite having absolutely no facts to back it up. But who cares about facts?

Despite years of never being right about Liverpool, our favourite blue’s confidence is unshakable. Boring everyone else into submission with his long-winded musings is his greatest gift.  His overly-explained reasoning based on pure hope alone is enough to sustain this appallingly bad wordsmith.

Wait for mid-autumn where he explains why he was right all along despite being always wrong.

Villa also quietly burning money.  At least Chelsea and Man City had something to show after £1.5bn in combined losses.

Demarai Gray looks a decent signing, especially at the price.  Anyone know why he fell out of favour at Leicester?

That Catcher fella is like one of those sad old fellas you used to see in town centres wearing "The End Is Nigh" sandwich boards. They seemed to spend their entire existence proclaiming The End, but they have long since died and the world has gone on regardless.

Catcher has long been predicting our demise, whilst we just get stronger and stronger and will long outlive him and his worthless crystal ball gazing. Anyway, it's good to see he has something to dedicate his entire life to. We don't need him, but he certainly seems to need us in his life to give it some meaning.

Just for comparison, from Swiss Ramble:





38% of Liverpool's revenue, 3 times LFC's debt.

Liverpool, wages are 66% of turnover (around 59% is considered OK), Everton, 89%, highest in the PL, and would be even worse if it wasn't for a one off £30m 'naming rights' cash injection from the owner.

Everton have made losses in 4 of the 5 yearsd Moshiri has been in charge (the last 2 years have seen record lossses), and yet they are still mid table and have yet to start their new stadium, or get the money for it.

Not sure if Catcher is right or not, but on those figures I know which club I would prefer to be owning...

Millonarios are joint top of their league after 2 matches with two wins as they take a break for two friendlies in Florida.

Will be interesting should Millonarios run up a score on Everton and the reaction of those back on County Road.  ;D
