18 May 2025 08:10:34

18 May 2025 09:28:23

{Ed's Note - Iamnoonoo has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool FC Summer Transfer Targets

17 May 2025 21:41:19
People getting all angry with the name of the new stadium, you only have to look at the names of most stadiums world wide and nearly all are nothing special, look at anfield, old Trafford, two of the biggest teams in the UK and the names are nothing special, it's just that we get used to hearing and saying the names. I mean if you had a stadium would you call it anfield or old Trafford? They are not not exactly exciting names
I don't really care what they call it, we got a very good deal and in time the fans will have there own name for it as it will probably change name again in ten years, it's just the way football is run now. But it will be our stadium and the fans will find a name.

{Ed025's Note - it will always be BMD to me Skylark..

17 May 2025 22:14:19
I'm with you on that skylark, a lot of fuss over nothing really. As ed says, most of us will be calling it BMD anyway so I'm happy to take the cash for the next 10 years until the contract expires. As others have eluded to on these pages, most of us say we're going the match rather than name the stadium anyway mate.

17 May 2025 22:47:39
I just call it the everton paradise arena works for me.

17 May 2025 23:56:37
Goodison 2.

18 May 2025 07:18:33
I think for me it dosent matter it will allways be BMD. To sum up the luck of relevance to the official name i would like to think my football knowledge is reasonable it was only when looking at similar namin right deals that i found Barcelona had renamed the camp nou back in 2001 to spotify camp nou i had no clue ita allways been camp nou so I don't think the sponsor is that big to the average football fan it has to be about the best deal and isn't worth getting would up by something that is totally insignificant.

Not posted for a while, hope everyone is all well!

I actually can’t face tomorrow. I didn’t think I would feel like this, but now it’s upon us, I can’t face it. I know the women will be playing there next year, but still.

It’s not just a ground, a pitch or a football club - it’s your first football match, with your ald fella. Your last football match with your Dad too in my case. Your son/ daughter’s first football match with you. My grandfather graced that hallowed turf with the honour of captaining the club. The smell of horse sh1t and the chippy on the way in with the shout of “Golden Goal” and the smell of disappointment on the way out with the shout of “Echo”. Some great memories. My first match was vs Brighton in 1980 and tomorrow will be the last.

It’s going to be a very, very emotional day.

{Ed025's Note - great post that Pierre but i cant read it again because im welling up mate, i have been looking forward to BMD for a long time now and have followed the construction since it began, but now the time is here to say goodbye to the "old lady"and all the memories have come flooding back, its part of my history, my childhood, my youth and my old age, i have seen the great times and the not so good times but they have all been memorable and sent me on some highs and lows mate but its been a great ride...goodbye old girl...COYB..

17 May 2025 21:31:20
Your reply actually set me off Ed!

I’m the same mate - so proud of the club for what they’ve achieved with BMD and when you think of the things we’ve done as a club, the “firsts” so to speak, it feels like we are heading back to where we belong.

We play in Royal Blie because we’re football royalty.

But here’s to Goodison and one last dance.

{Ed025's Note - i will have myself a little drink and bid her farewell tomorrow Pierre and bid her farewell mate..

18 May 2025 07:59:55
Who was your grandfather mate?

17 May 2025 20:05:36
Young, Virginia and Begovic all released, club statement. More to find out their fate this week and next.

17 May 2025 19:19:41
How's everyone feeling about tmrw?

{Ed025's Note - tearful..

17 May 2025 19:38:52
Extremely sad 😢😢😢.

17 May 2025 20:00:06
Not sure now it's staying for woman's football, it's a bit like splitting up with the wife without a divorce and moving in with a new girl.

17 May 2025 20:21:27
Sounds good to me Skylark.

17 May 2025 20:56:18
The fact it’s not getting knocked down has changed a lot got me. Didn’t need to rush into getting that tour done!

To me, it feels like moving out of home to your own digs but knowing you can still pop to your mum’s if you need to for a meal or two. Going to miss visiting the old lady but excited to see where the new place takes us. Just a shame about the name….

17 May 2025 22:51:18
Am I the only 1 that's made up to be leaving we've had 30 years of nothing would love to win the fa cup in our first year in the new ground.

17 May 2025 18:56:45
Prediction for tomorrow all, I will say 4-0 we leave home in fantastic style, COYB.

17 May 2025 19:29:03
2-0 for me. Not saying which way….

17 May 2025 18:32:10
Congratulations Crystal Palace. Well deserved win. Played fantastically.

17 May 2025 18:45:35
They did that mate thoroughly deserved it.

17 May 2025 19:56:39
How did the keeper get away with not being sent off.! , VAR terrible again
But well done palace, played well.

17 May 2025 20:06:51
Yes Skylark. A terrible decision that will be the talking point and will take column inches away from a deserved palace performance.

Congratulations to Crystal Palace.

17 May 2025 20:53:45
It was a terrible decision by var again. Then he saves the penalty given shortly afterwards. Rubs salt into the wounds zbit lol.

17 May 2025 18:03:00
I want us to sign some good players, but that is a matter of opinion for the manager .
But, for me, the starting point for returning us to footballs top table, is to take this almost unique opertunity to clean out those who have PROVED, they do not belong in a top, or at least progressive side.
When we hear rumours that player like Keane are to be offered a new contract, it almost makes me weep, that we are going to though away the chance to break with the past, not picking on this man alone, but just as an example, for years, all who attend goodison on a regular bases know that Keane, is an accident waiting to happen, that and the notion that we might spend money on buying Harrison, the lost opertunity to clear out player who are destin to drag the club down the black hole of the resent past is unforgivable .

17 May 2025 18:37:39
If Keane was on £20-30k a week, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.
If Harrison was on £10-20k a week, it wouldn’t be terrible.
If Dom was on £30-40k a week, it would be an alright deal.

That sort of money for a bench player is reasonable. The problem is: they are on more than double that. We can’t afford to be carrying driftwood, let alone overpriced driftwood.

17 May 2025 18:57:39
BR they’re on almost 5 times the figures you say!

Hopefully the days of paying average players ridiculous wages are now behind us.

17 May 2025 18:58:43
We paid 90k a week (I think) for Harrison over 2 seasons. I'd of not brought him back this season but we did and he's worse than the 1st season. Keane is shakes in defence but handy for a late worldie and dom is just a physios dream.

17 May 2025 20:08:40
Stuff their wages. I don’t care! It’s the fact that they are poo that concerns me.

18 May 2025 10:13:17
I would let Leeds pay us to play Harrison nevermind us pay him. Him and maupay are the same level for me. The 2 worst players over the past 5-10 years.

17 May 2025 17:11:32
With the announcement of Young, Virginia and Begovic leaving it does sound like they've offered Keane, Doucs, Gana and DCL new contacts and we're probably waiting for them to agree or decline.

I'm not sure how I feel about those staying with the exception of Gana. DCL if he was a back up I would probably add to Gana but not as first choice. We need regular starters and scorers if we want to move up the table.

17 May 2025 17:44:33
I agree to an extent, but we also need a squad capable of performing after a few injuries. They also come without transfer fees. A lot would depend on the wages. Not exciting perhaps, but sensible maybe. I’d still expect Dacoure to leave myself.
