I've given a shit about England twice in my life. Both times, Nicky Shorey was playing.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I'm slightly bemused by this. I get that Chiron is an investment group but I would assume they work with a pool of money and are not at the whim of individual investors, or is that not how sports investment works? Are they just a front?

Re: VAR

Give each team 2 flags, but have it like cricket, win the challenge, keep the flag. Impose a time limit on challenges. No decision after 90 seconds, go with the on field call. Have a live feed of the VAR analysis.

Get rid of VAR intervention but allow the referee to refer to VAR when not sure.

Re: Ex Players

Stam massively set back his career by talking him up way beyond his ability. It definitely appeared to go to his head. Couple of anecdotes about silly Billy big bollox behaviour etc Shame as he was ace first season with us Delighted he seems to be over it and playing well again. He did boss the fin...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The Football’Insider’ Article reads like someone has just taken what is already in the public domain and slightly rewritten it. There’s nothing new, comments about the approval taking ‘2 months’ are just what had been speculated already. It’s yet another pseudo journalist pieces with no original th...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I remember reading one bit of the Football Insider article where they seemed to misunderstand what's been said, which would have completely thrown out their timeline.

I think it was regarding some element of due diligence, which I understood Howe had been doing prior to announcing exclusivity,

Re: Weekend Football

Perhaps you mix more with Everton fans. In some ways Liverpool, by virtue of its success, has become a worldwide club but that doesn't mean that the people of Liverpool no longer support their local club, far from it.., even if it is seen as "belonging" to people far and wide. I have no g...

Re: Weekend Football

When did you last live in Liverpool? I moved down south from Manchester when I was ten. If I'm honest, that's not my experience of Everton fans at all. They know Liverpool are the bigger and more successful club and they judge success very much on their own terms and, yes, they are proud of their c...
