@PaulAndo1987 @DCR841 It is. So are a lot of social media constructs. Some horrible shouts on here round Derby day etc.

[MJ @NSNO25]

@PaulAndo1987 @DCR841 Very fair point.

My takes always been that there’s lots to love about England in terms of music, sport, art etc. and I’ll back them in spite of any little Englander weirdos. But not that fussed.

[MJ @NSNO25]

@DCR841 @PaulAndo1987 Agreed. They used to have big screens in town for the England tournament games until about 2006.

Scouse not English thing was more of a minority undercurrent in 80s-00’s, and got more popular when people started trying harder on social media imo

[MJ @NSNO25]

@Joelazzo What do you want us to do? Get him back as owner, reinstate his board, then run them out of town all over again?

[MJ @NSNO25]

@PaulSmithJnr @JEvansLFC Seconded. They were great for me too.

[MJ @NSNO25]

@TFinnAgain @greenie1878 Agree it’s ridiculous. Punished 3 times if you include loss of prize money from the point deduction season.

I’m just at the point where, if EFC aren’t actually bearing the cost of this, and it creates a complete shitstorm for the PL, City & Chelsea then good… fuck ‘em.

@Cristrom17 @Skullclubco @Junsy_EFC @LowerTiers The League Title & the European Cup are the true elite trophies. Tottenham have 2….

Less than EFC, Villa, NUFC, S’land, Leeds, Forest, Hudds… I could go on.

London centric media has always given Spurs attention. And they now have a lot of commercial power. But who’s arsed

[MJ @NSNO25]

@PhilHumber1 @spanishblueye @itvpeston @MartinSLewis Exactly. I’m sure ML wouldn’t disagree with you, but it would be a political position, and he’s very consistent on not taking political positions.

@ArchiveWembley @englandstats Germany semi was meant to be in London, so yeah it was a straight swap. Very controversial in Liverpool at the time, as we were still all big England fans back then!

Beckenbauer smashing one in the top corner from 25 yards in the WC SF is one of Goodisons finest moments though.

[MJ @NSNO25]

@dariocalcio77 @HLTCO And people have no idea that the ECWC was always more prestigious than the UEFA Cup.

Aberdeen won the ECWC and then beat Hamburg (European Cup winners) in the Super Cup final for example.

[MJ @NSNO25]

@Benjwinst @CharlieBarnicle @friedkingroup Funny that the pro Moyes camp have spent weeks handpicking stats to make out that Glasner & Iraola are no better than him.

Now they’ve been snapped up by Liverpool & Milan, and it’s “see, they were out of our league anyway!”

[MJ @NSNO25]

@GavinBuckland1 @terry__smith @GaryBri99293774 Yep that’s right. Brighton likely to become the next one, as they’ll be favourites for Conf League.

Worried this little period will pass us by, the same way 2008-2013 did when 5 or 6 clubs ended droughts in the domestic cups.

[MJ @NSNO25]

@efc_cain I’m sure they’d both be an upgrade but I’m not convinced taking both full backs from 3rd leakiest defence in the league is a great idea.

Surely there are better options out there?

[MJ @NSNO25]

@toffeeprogs @paulroyalblue That’s quality 💙

[MJ @NSNO25]

@Jason_EFC @Everton They’ve got a cheek trying to get away with that one. We can all see the huge empty blocks every week.

[MJ @NSNO25]

@GavinBuckland1 @terry__smith @GaryBri99293774 Can’t argue with that. There’s a long history of why we are long past competing with Liverpool, United et al.

But it’s not the reason why we can’t compete for *anything*. 16 clubs have won 1+ major trophies since our last. That’s what drives the anger imo.

[MJ @NSNO25]

@terry__smith Fair comment 👍🏻

[MJ @NSNO25]

@Shaunjames1974 @ToffeeJimmy Moyes got EFC to accept 50m less for Rooney in 2004, so he could get the United job in 2013?
