Changing teams??? Good Grief. Just not done. I just don't get how anyone can do that. I've supported one team since 1966 and have never for an instant considered changing. We just happened to be fifth last year though so maybe we'll pick up a few more fans this season. COYB!!!

Re: Everton And Newcastle Could Be On The Chopping Block

Everton continue to fall further and further behind "The Pack" .... moving to Kirkby is not the perfect solution but compared to other alternatives that have been mentioned it would seem like the best bet to me. It is a divisive topic and I for one will be glad when some decision has been made and we can move on. I REALLY think it is time for new owners at EFC. Blue Bill has gone as far as he can and he seems to be losing control. Like all other clubs we HAVE to move on to survive.

Kartic said:

"Gaffer, now you understand why so many of us are almost scared of liverpool fans."

Ahhhh .... so true Kartic. Perhaps scared is the wrong word though.

Being from Merseyside I have some very strong opinions but realize I may be somewhat prejudiced in my comments . Like any club Liverpool have a percentage of supporters who cannot take ANY criticism (or even non positive discussion) of their club (usually ones who couldn't show you Stanley Park on a map) but truly Liverpool FC do seem to have more than most.

I grew up in the midst of the Liverpool - Everton rivalry in the 70's and 80's. Both sets of fans are passionate but Liverpool's (perhaps because of numbers) tend to be less tolerant of ANYTHING said against the club.

I know Everton are having a terrible time this year on and off the pitch but if you said that to me Kartic (and gave me your opinions as to why), I would probably agree with you and have a conversation about it. I think most Evertonians (at least the ones I know) would react somewhat the same way.

Like I said, I have found that most of these Reds who react that way have never been to England let alone Anfield.

Keep up the "criticism" please Kartic! (On any team)

Oh Bloody Hell! It's feking horrible! The "glow in the dark" look makes the players look like fuzzy yellow blobs on my screen. Maybe I need a new screen but I still hate it :-(

Very "un-Everton like.

Ha Ha .... You might be right there Daz but flourescent yellows and oranges grate the eyes on a TV screen. (maybe different if you were at the match) I do like the old yellow top just not the "glow in the dark" look.

Yeah, after that start I thought Wigan were in for it but they have done well!

You know what Raatzie, you are completely off base. READ my post twat! Did I say
"Non-Englanders are clueless"?? I most certainly DID NOT! Where the hell did you get that? You are clueless for sure. Stop making up sentences and then accuse me of saying them! Your arguments are just plain silly. You must be around 12 by the sounds of it. Grow up!

OK ... I am done with you ... I will not argue anymore with someone who reacts irrationally to anything remotely criticizing HIS beliefs concerning LFC.

Say anything you like about Everton. I may or may not agree with you but whichever way you go I will not put words in your mouth or make idiotic statements and then accuse you of saying them.

By the way "clueless". I am not an "Englander" .... I am Canadian.

Gaffer why don't you close this post ..... it is getting a bit silly!

Re: Why So Many Empty Seats For Cup Competitions?

Nigel — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:52:07 -0000

Coventry have had problems with attendance ever since they were relegated. They compete with Wolves, West Brom. Birmingham and the big one, Aston Villa for fans (There are others I know). The Sky Blues will only regain their fan base back after they (if ever) regain their premiership status. Their die hard fans are VERY passionate but the "grey" fans won't come back until they return to the top flight.

No one ... other than the "top four" DOESN'T care about the Carling cup. It gives them UEFA Cup access and a trophy for Gods sake. How can they not care about that? Why the British press persists in trying to devalue it is beyond me.

Re: Hypocrisy Typifies The Reaction of Opposing Fans to City Takeover

Nigel — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 17:22:11 -0000

Good luck City. Knock those two bastards (Lpool & Manu) off their perch and as far as I'm concerned it improves the League. It needed stirring up and it looks like you will do exactly that. Wonderful to see a club put into a position to threaten the top 4. I hope you are ready for the bandwagon jumping, glory hunting twats that follow Liverpool and Man U. They are sure to be singing Blue Moon shortly. (Not all of them ... I KNOW that!) Sad that I am so bitter isn't it? Sorry , just soooo tired of the same old and the tiring, boring repetitive talking heads that seem to support them.
