i was reading a makem board and they were arguing amonst themselves that we might beat thier record. ;D

He's the best crosser at the club. he needs to coach Gutierrez as well as the keepers.

we could, it would be us all over,. but not this time i hope.

Everton have a very strange habit of swinging from good season to bad season to good season..... with similar playing staff,. whats that all about?

got to be favourite?

story is hes had a big clear the air with the players over the public dressing down , and they are all happy now.

He dived. It was horrible. fyp

close poll

80 ish as a guess. i can remember it pre metro. i can remember them building it, but not sure of dates. Not entirely sure but I thought the metro work started in the 70's. They had artists (architects) impressions of how stations etc would look when finished in locations around town and I knew a lad who was a draughtsman and did some of them. In very small detail he had drawn a couple having a "knee trembler" against a wall somewhere and also someone getting the shit kicked out of them. It was not noticed and the drawings duly went up. You'd never notice it if it wasn't pointed out but we all thought it was hilarious. Maybe that's why all the boarding is up opposite the Gallowgate in the photo, it could have been because they wewre already working on the SJ metro station. i thought that as well, but i think the photo maybe too early. it was dated 1971 on th esite i found it, but it could be any date between 71-78. I think the metro opened in 80-81?

they were lenient on account Curle wasa cunt.

'Aye I went to watch the Man City away match (3-3, 95/96) when Tino elbowed Keith Curle. And later on, he nutted him' those were the fucking days.

impossible Aye sorry. The leazes was open then ie no roof correct. the leazes end was demolished in 78, and the two east pylons. the story was that Mc alpine had the leazes stand to match the east stand, ready to go up, but it was delayed over an argument over season tickets with Westwood. not sure how true like.

there you go £1000. i send the other £990 some other time

Fantastic photo. Those floodlight pylons were great. Sounding really old now, but that's when grounds had carachter, and weren't the souless, identikit things they are nowadys. Now, where's me pipe and slippers? i know what you mean 82, when i look at that and think i will never stand on the gallowgate again, never piss in them open top toilets, or scramble through the trees to get out faster.

sure that was 71'. i thought the east stand wasn't finished till 72' ? mick.....mick...MICK. where are you when you're needed. im almost certain it was finished in 71, may have been 72. it was opened with a pre-season friendley against Benfica, it was my first match aged 3 or 4. i can remember being really scared of the hieght in the east stand seats.

http://www.nufc.com/images/sjp70s-1.jpg 1971 :smitten: this is how the ground was when i first went. my first ever game was the opening of the east stand. my dad took me in the Leazes, east corner when i was a kid. can remember seeing the floodlights on from home as well when there was night games on. look at how small the west stand was, it always seemed massive from inside the ground.

i used to travel with the supporters club, on the Armstrong Galley, rather than magpie travel. You used to get a card, like an appointment card, to keep record of the away games you went to. I went to my only ever England game, with the newcastle supporters club, vs Denmark SBR was manager and we got knocked out of euro84 in a qualifier to an Alan Semenson Penalty.

I was holding one end of a 20ft Champions banner, we did a lap of the pitch, got appaulded by the grimsby fans. I also got a hold of Wor Kev. it was a great couple days, was a transit driver, about 12 of us. some stayed in B+B, some slept in back of van to save £15, lol.

It's amazing when you look at how long Joe Harvey managed us. In the 30 years after the 2nd World War we had 5 managers and in the 34 years since Joe left the job we've probably had more than 20 managers, either permanent or temporary. the 5 managers won 4 trophies, the 20 odd = zero. hmmm i wonder where we are going wrong? Mavis with a rambo headband, lol

I've got 14, McFaul, Smith, Ardilles, Keegan, Dalglish, Gullit, Robson, Souness, Roeder, Allardyce, Keegan, Kinnear, Shearer and Hughton oh fuck, i missed shearer there was a few other acting as well along the way

Yes, I didn't expect him to pack in even taking into account the stick he was given. we were shit tho, in his one season. with Rambo, and tony cunningham up front. At least he kept us up for our first season. but after cox football, it was shite.

I was in the proper seats at the top, I was with my nephew who was going mad at Charlton and he didn't know who he was as he was only 4 or 5 years old. How many managers have we had since he left? 13?
