Disclaimer () Michael Kenrick 1 Posted 24/10/2025 at 21:21:53 Or there's Harrison Armstrong with Preston (and Lewis Dobbin scoring) against Sheffield Utd on Sky too.And brilliant 3rd goal for Preston. And Thierry Small on for them now. Is Tom Davies still with The Blades? He's not in the squad.Just checking his stats... only 2 appearances so far this season. Ryan Holroyd 2 Posted 24/10/2025 at 22:36:30 We definitely *have* one in Harrison Armstrong Edward Rogers 3 Posted 24/10/2025 at 23:22:34 Yes, another Man of the Match performance from Harrison Armstrong for Preston tonight. Andrew Merrick 4 Posted 25/10/2025 at 11:30:58 All going nicely for Harrison Armstrong; when he comes back and who he replaces will be the next question...Leeds did West Ham; we did neither, when both were there for the taking. Sour grapes? Maybe, but that single point from 6 didn't help.Tomorrow is a chance to redeem something. Jim Bennings 5 Posted 25/10/2025 at 17:21:18 Have to laugh, Sunderland come up after 9 years down and win at Chelsea... We have played there every season but haven't registered a single win since 1994.To put that into perspective, the winning manager that day was Joe Royle, aged 45; he's now 76 years old. Joe McMahon 6 Posted 25/10/2025 at 17:28:13 Jim, I'm not laughing. Martinez would have but John Terry's injury-time offside equaliser stood. And yes,it doesn't say much about Moyes's record. Jim Bennings 7 Posted 25/10/2025 at 17:46:01 Interesting take, Joe.I remember that 3-3 draw under Martinez, we went 3-2 up in the 90th minute but somehow they ended up playing 8 minutes injury time in which some knobhead robbed Funes Mori's head bandage and Terry managed to con a linesman despite being 10 yards offside. Kunal Desai 8 Posted 25/10/2025 at 18:13:43 It's a mindset change. With new owners, I suspect it'll take time to change. Expect it to happen once Moyes leaves. Kieran Kinsella 9 Posted 25/10/2025 at 18:38:28 Jim,Funes Mori a blast from the past. Total nutter, gets himself sent off for a reckless tackle vs the RS then walks off kissing the badge. As if all the Everton fans were thinking, "Great job. That is what we wanted. One man less for the rest of the match." Tony Abrahams 10 Posted 25/10/2025 at 19:02:44 Why do people always have to bring up our away record at the biggest clubs? The narrative was changed a long time ago, so surely people don't expect plucky little Everton to turn over the big boys on their own turf anymore?It used to upset me but, when I saw our manager laughing after another loss last week, and then I read that it had nothing to do with a lack of passion and it even showed he might actually have a little bit of humility on these very pages, it suddenly made me realise, that's where I've been going wrong for years! Kieran Kinsella 11 Posted 25/10/2025 at 19:04:58 Tony,The most important thing about last week is Moyesy got a signed autograph and a selfie with Haaland. Jon Atkinson 12 Posted 25/10/2025 at 19:09:12 We've improved! Tomorrow's expected loss under Moshiri is now an expected draw… Tony Abrahams 13 Posted 25/10/2025 at 19:53:43 Would a draw be a decent result? Colin Glassar 14 Posted 25/10/2025 at 20:08:13 Sloth to call for the banning of long throw-ins. Colin Glassar 15 Posted 25/10/2025 at 20:47:04 The shite are going down 😂😂😂 Michael Kenrick 16 Posted 25/10/2025 at 20:51:03 That was a great second goal for Brentford. I try not to watch this pile of shite... but 2-0 is too tempting!And they've got one back. Peter Mitchell 17 Posted 25/10/2025 at 20:52:01 The usual anti-Moyes echo-chamber on here I see. For no apparent reason! Peter Mitchell 18 Posted 25/10/2025 at 20:55:06 Yes, Michael - 5 minutes into 3 minutes of added on time. They really are the spawn of the devil! Colin Glassar 19 Posted 25/10/2025 at 20:59:42 Apparently, added time is just a number they put on the board. The ref decides when it's time. So what's the point of putting up the fucking board? The baldy fuck played on until they scored.Why are most baldy refs a bunch of cunts? Michael Kenrick 20 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:08:44 Sloth has demanded that Simon Hooper be replaced because he didn't give them red-green bastards a penalty! Utterly shameful. Watch the new ref very carefully in the second half! Michael Kenrick 21 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:29:33 Oh dear... they new ref has read the instructions all wrong. Now, him and the VAR have given Brentford a penalty against ArchAngel St Van Dijk. Shocking! Hehehehe. 3-1. Colin Glassar 22 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:30:27 Sacked in the morning?😂😂 Brian Denton 23 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:35:52 I hope this is Liverpool emulating our 70-71 Season -- from Champions to 14th in consecutive seasons. Brent Stephens 24 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:37:37 The rs are apparently researching into what parachute payments are and how much they are worth. Colin Glassar 25 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:44:14 You've just brought back some very painful memories, Brian. What a nightmare those years were. Andy Meighan 26 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:53:59 Sunderland win at Chelsea and its all about Moyes never winning there with Everton.Honestly, what is that all about? Sunderland are very well organised and probably deserved the win as Chelsea ran out of ideas after the hour.On another note, isn't it fucking wonderful to see them getting beat again? Welcome to our world, lads, the Dutch Martinez getting schooled by a novice manager... Ah well, Sloth, I don't think you'll go down, but it'll be tight. Brian Denton 27 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:55:10 Indeed Colin (25).Mind you, Man City once won the old First Division title and were relegated the following season. Maybe RS will do that, to general merriment. Allen Rodgers 28 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:55:48 It seems in recent weeks the shite have not been given every debatable decision! What is going on? My next door RS neighbour is apoplectic with rage!! Edward Rogers 29 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:56:53 Arne Sllllot!!!!! Kevin Molloy 30 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:57:49 Buckle up! Andrew Ellams 31 Posted 25/10/2025 at 21:58:28 And cue 15 minutes added time. Colin Glassar 32 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:02:37 They'll play until the rs equalise or win. That was a great Man City team as well, Brian. Kevin Molloy 33 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:06:44 I am watching Redmen TV, they are an odd bunch. Scousers, but who talk in sentences that end as a question? (They've got me doing it now!) It's a bad combination. Andrew Ellams 34 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:07:15 Cheating wanker Kevin Molloy 35 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:09:20 101 minutes. Brian Denton 36 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:09:23 Colin, did you see Man City in the 1936-37 Season? Or are you thinking of Man City's 1967-68 Champions, who were not relegated the following season! Edward Rogers 37 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:11:24 Arne SLLLLot. Allen Rodgers 38 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:13:00 7 mins of added time given but 13 played, the intention being to carry on till the Red Shite score. Well in, Brentford! Colin Glassar 39 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:14:23 Disgusting, shameful displays by both refs. Brian, 67-68. Book, Doyle, Corrigan, Marsh, Summerbee, Lee etc… great team with Mercer and Big Mal at the helm. Svein-Roger Jensen 40 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:16:02 Why 13 min when it should be 7?? Svein-Roger Jensen 41 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:19:34 Van Dijk with another game where he avoids a red card. He must be the most protected player of all time in the Premier League. Alan McGuffog 42 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:24:01 Colin, I was at university in Manchester in the early 70s and would often wander down to Maine Rd. A really wonderful team destined to win the league in 73(?).They then bought Rodney "Billy Big Bollocks" Marsh and it all went tits up. Conor McCourt 43 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:24:40 Michael, they made a balls up. The ref thought it was outside the box so he happily gave a free kick. The VAR saw it was obviously inside. They were desperate not to give it, hence the massive delay.Hilarious. Svein-Roger Jensen 44 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:32:21 There are elbows in every match from Saint Dijk. But unfortunately, the referees and officials are completely incompetent. Colin Glassar 45 Posted 25/10/2025 at 22:38:57 Alan, I forgot Marsh came later but wasn't it Glyn Pardoe getting a career-ending cruciate ligament injury which began their decline? He was a brilliant little player. Brian Denton 46 Posted 25/10/2025 at 23:25:46 Colin, For the avoidance of doubt, Man City won the Title in 1936-37 and were relegated in 1937-38. Jim Bennings 47 Posted 26/10/2025 at 06:45:57 I reckon Slot will be gone by January at this rate, quite clearly a one-season wonder that just fed off the Klopp dynasty.The fact he signed Isak when he'd just signed two strikers for God knows how much money suggests he'd lost the plot. Good luck keeping three egos like that happy with rotation, he merely signed Isak to show his own ego. Brent Stephens 48 Posted 26/10/2025 at 08:32:51 Klopp might well be back to sort out the (delicious) mess. Phil Roberts 49 Posted 26/10/2025 at 13:18:21 Changing the dessert menu for the corporate hospitality on Wednesday nightChoice of Liverpool Crumble* or Humble Pie*sent by a Red mate. He is one of the rare "all right" ones. Another "all right" red mate visited yesterday and has Blue Son in Law. Went to club shop @ HDS/BMD - no cash, only card. Went to do a walk-in for the stadium tour (Comment: It is fantastic) and it was cash only no card.
