Great post @Hank Marvin. Top form; and here’s me thinking you were just a shadow of the man you used to be.

It doesn’t get any better. Trust me!

We’re assuming, perhaps rightly, that he is forcing a move. He might also be struggling mood wise with the whole scenario. Can’t be easy, especially for a dyed in the wool Evertonian, to be scapegoated and turned upon by the fanbase. Imagine how his family must feel. Glowing with pride to being targeted/shamed.

It’s not the ol’ get banged senseless by Cheryl ‘Queen of Heaton’ recruitment technique is it? Masters of shithousery indeed.

Hope Fulham put out a strong side on Saturday. Will be a good gauge for them, in terms of how far away they are from having a PL suitable squad. Not that I think it’ll be necessary for next season.

Yep, and to be fair Peter Reid at SOS, giving us a wave and jig when we were ‘Monkey-heeding’ him during post match interview.

To be fair, even if you get grief, it wouldn’t take a feather out of you.

Surely not, but then you don’t care if it’s wrong or if it’s right.

Seems like a canny lad. It’s a yes from me ?

The one’s that spring to mind, bar some off field great away trips a long time ago, and some home matches to be fair, which were more about the camaraderie and laughs than the football, are the typical ones I have been lucky to experience in person. In no particular order: Keegan’s first game as a player—sunny day, madness getting in Gallowgate turnstiles and, of course, he only goes and scores. Having the whole corner roar in encouragement as I climbed the fence to get at Dennis Wise as he was chasing Mirandinha (after the radgey knacker kung fu kicked Beasant). 2-0 half-time against Barcelona—couldn’t take it in! Albert’s 5th and standing on seats in Leazes doing Haiwai 5-0 rowing to Manure fans. Singing Abide With Me before Arsenal FA cup final—overcome with emotion of being there (and conviction we were going to win…). Seeing Rob Lee score in Chelsea semi at Wembley. Sheff Utd semi at Old Trafford—whole experience was amazing. Seeing Nobby Solano for the first time (Reserve Match, sat alone in newish Level 7) it was like watching a chess master, the passes picked and executed, just awe inspiring. Some jaw dropping goals: Ginola, Shearer, Beardsley, and Robert deserve a mention; all a bit merged can’t be arsed to tease out the specifics. Keegan winning the 1st Division as manager, getting a wave and thumbs up. Greeting (with a couple of hundred others, I hasten to add) Bobby Robson on the steps of SJP as he was announced manager. Last, and probs most important (and hopefully not prophetic) my first time at SJP. West stand to welcome team back after losing League Cup Final in ‘76. Holding my uncle’s hand up past the building works around Grey’s monument, through the crush of the crowds, the noise, the pageantry and pride, tin foil cups and fancy dress Magpie dancing around the track.

And clear out his locker… .

Would love if we beat them… this is balanced out by thought of seeing us lose to that lot again.

Same with me. I'd like him to keep away from the media a bid though; worried that kind of stuff can lead to problems.

I’d like us to sign Gordon, no need to reiterate the reasons that are already cluttering up the thread and clearly expressed (have a scan if you need to, they are there amongst the bile and the humour). I’d wouldn’t want us to overpay though, for him or anyone actually. Think I’d rather slow build and settle for not quite having enough in the squad for the rest of the season and try and get our targets at the right/reasonable price in the summer. Strikes me as I type this, it’s an odd position for a fan (success/quality starved one as we all are) to take. But nevertheless it seems to be how I feel. That said, I reserve the right to be raging for us to spend £50m on Gallagher and £100m on Osimhen in the summer!

He would be phenomenal. Trust me on this one. Don’t think he’s interested though. That is one of the few negatives in my increasing balanced Keegan-Howe tally chart. Keegan was a name and so charismatic I’d back him to ‘do a Rob Lee’ and talk just about anybody into coming.

Yep, especially now Schmeichel has retired (…sorry Les).

It is what (one of the things) footy is for. Enjoy the win and what it might lead to ?

Great scenes

Even Isak knows there’s no point passing to Longstaff

Almost as much as a post

Bruno creating two chances in one move.

C’mon another goal

Look at Murphy ?
