Tesco Bags

Comments (17)

This is going to be a big week in the history of Everton with the DK decision expected by the time the Derby kicks off on Sunday. I've managed to get a ticket for the game but not looking forward to the sight of Tesco bags blowing all over the place, unless one gets on the pitch and in some crazy turn of events creates a goal for us a la beach ball style.

As a bit of retaliation and banter can anyone think how we can get a few hundred "Howard Browns" printed up. He is the quirky looking fella with round glasses who was the front man for a Royal Bank of Scotland campaign. When the Sky commentators are wetting themselves over the Tesco bags, it would give us something to throw back at them in the style of Everton 2.

The crowd could also get singing "Who Let the Dogs out" to see if they get it — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Brown

1. Liverpool fans don’t shop at Tesco. They get their weekly shop at their local ALDI in Denmark.

2. Howard Brown? Royal Bank of Scotland? "Who let the dogs out"? WTF is that about???

A Tesco bag score a goal for us a la beach ball. Your’e having a laugh... with the luck Everton have if that happened it would probably be an own goal for Liverpool.

This is a massive week for LFC, if Fiorentina win this week they are out of the CL, if they lose to Debrecen they wont even qualify for the EL and finally IF Everton show some guts on Sunday then they could be really cast adrift from the top 4.

I doubt very much if they do go out of the CL they will be waving Tesco bags, because thats where Mr Benitez will be shopping for players come January.

Mr Moyes, please put an attacking side out on Sunday, their weakness is DEFENCE, lets have a go and take the game to them, learn from the MU game, if you let them come on to us they will rip us to shreds.

They are effectively owned by the RBS/Halifax due to the amount of debt. And since the RBS is pretty much owned by the government, who were voted into power by the people - we all effectively own their Club. Look at the Wikipedia link for the "Who Let the Dogs out" reference.

Come what may, there will be Tesco bags at the game.

I think your average redshite brain wouldn’t comprehend that RBS/Halifax connection.

Halifax is part of HBOS which has nothing to do with the Royal Bank of Scotland.

They may as well wave ASDA bags then we’d both be getting our facts wrong!!

Dumb idea!!

HBOS stands for Halifax/Bank of Scotland. That Bank of Scotland is for the commoners amongst you. I bank with the Royal Bank of Scotland - for those of us with a little more class

. . . and thanks to Fred the Shred a shedful of more debt!

Sean I suppose I made a right "royal" mistake there. They would recognise print outs of Sir Fred Goodwin even less. It may be a dumb idea, but can you just hear the chant of "the cities all ours etc" whilst waving the Tesco bags. There has to be a response to that as well as giving them a right good thrashing.

Tony sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and admit there is no response!!

Personally I think we have bigger things to be worried about just now than what that lot will be chanting!!!

Going down, going down may also get an airing!!!

Got to agree with you Sean. This is just one of those times, when there is no comeback.

Let's face it, it could only happen to us couldn't it? Kirkby decision and 48 hrs later, the shite. Did the god of football forget us again, it was a fuckin' cert that they would be able to rag us first for Kirkby wasn't it? Dixie, Bally, Brian, Sir John, Harry, Rocky (oops, sorry...) — your boys need you, your boys will take one hell of a beating at the weekend and that's before a ball has been kicked.

Nil satis nisi SHITE !

Thanks, Bill for all the stick in the boozer before and after the game, at the ground, at the bus stop, anywhere on the planet that a rednose twat wants to wind us up, we will kop it.

The city's all theirs because you gave them it. 131 years down the pan. Thanks, Blue Bill... thanks!

Robert, Billy Bullshit has never been remotley arsed about destroying our 131 year old identity. If he gets his way and the green light is given this week,he’ll be to busy rubbing his hands at the prospect of the value of his shares being boosted to notice the stick were going to take off the RS fans.

Wonder if they will put a levy on Tesco bags like they do over here in Ireland? Tesco could donate the 15 cent per plastic bag for funding for new players! Every little helps, then please fook off DK and Tesco.

Ste, You're quite right about Billy Bullshit and I know it, but I can't handle the thought of Kirkby. Let's face it, he should've gone for selling Rooney and I wish he had. We might not find ourselves in the predicament we find ourselves in now. Three sleeps to go!
