Re: Everton v West Ham

Imagine selling your soul to whatever Hill Dickinson is. It's such a shame that this happened both for the club and the sponsor that has powered Everton towards the level of irrelevancy that they probably deserve these days.

Re: Steve Cotterill

My view of the Crucifier has actually softened over the years. He had us doing well for half a season twice, and had the rugged pulled out from under him a couple of times. But there was a mania behind those eyes that I just could not support or get behind. He wasn't one for handling stress.

Some interesting comments on here.
