General Football and Sport / Re: Everton - The 777 Unflushables

Walking up Scotland Road on Sunday as our team bus came past. One lone blue voice also walking up the road started shouting as loud as he could - "YOU LOST THE LEAGUE, AT GOODISON PARK" at the soundproofed bus. Bet he felt dead made up inside. Probably went home to tell the family too.
They are so utterly desperate to be relevant  ::)

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: New Kit thread
« Last post by btroom on Today at 06:14:07 pm »
I think these companies are all really struggling with turning out new kits en masse every 12 months. The costs are sky rocketing and it'd be interesting to know how profitable it is for them. Arsenal's kit next year looks good but otherwise I wouldn't say I'd be particularly impressed with many of the designs being thrown out by Adidas, Nike or Puma and Castore are terrible.

That Bayern kit looks like a bad training top and United's home kits have been pretty dull for some time.

I think it won't be long until we're back to having kits for longer. The cost and costs to the environment are just getting harder and harder to justify. It's starting to show with player and team sponsorships and the shit they're pumping out.

No chance we going back to new kit once every 2 years. more likely there would be 4th/5th kit  ;D

What's happened across the Park since sanctions were imposed on Putin's mates has given enormous credence to the speculation that Usmanov was the real power behind the Everton throne. Given that you're not allowed to hold a significant interest in two Football club, isn't there an overlap when Usmanov could feasibly have been involved in both Everton and Arsenal?

Hi mate,

I can imagine lots of people are in the same boat as you in that the events in Gaza should be being discussed (I'm one of them), and that it should be done in a calm and rational way with reasoned discussion between people. Given the nature of the topic, sadly, it's never going to happen.  I'm sure the mods here would love to see each and every topic available to be spoken about with respect and decorum, but we've seen how discussions degenerate quite rapidly, especially around Gaza, Palestine, Israel and all the associated topics.  I don't see it as the politics of the place evolving to a point to protect Israel at all, but sentiment against the actions of the Israeli government so often leaks into anti-Israel everything, which has pushed on into anti-semitism.

So, as frustrating as it is, it should be left alone.

That whole Trump turning up thing is really bugging me. Tainting the win. The fuck was Zac Brown thinking??

To be fair to Trump at least he turned up with a papaya tan to show his support for McLaren.

This seems a notable shift if Everton shareholders are calling for the end of the 777 takeover. To be fair they are a very small minority.

News and Current Affairs / Re: Labour Thread * No Gaza *
« Last post by Sangria on Today at 06:01:36 pm »
I grew up there and can't quite articulate why Labour never gets a sniff.

A lot of my family were in unions and voted Labour having worked as tradesmen or in the postal service, that seemed common growing up and it's a largely working class area. They have gravitated towards Reform and the like now but the percentage splits each GE don't seem to budge.

The areas are very diprived, Southend alone has 25% of people living in the worst 20% of diprived areas in England. I'm not sure what the Tories have ever really done that's ever really made a difference.

Thatcher is their model of what a politician should be. Start with that understanding.
