I don't think £150 for a year is too bad, and as you say you've got your choice of highlights and redzone which is pretty good. Depends what you're comparing it to doesn't it, it's much cheaper than paying for Sky Sports or TNT. Fewer games obviously and granted you do get other sports with them, so it depends what you're into.

So basically he plays somewhere else for a year and comes back here unhappy most likely, what fecking use is that.

I'm still finding it a bit odd that he's going and after all this social media nonsense. We're clearly a worse team without him and although we must've done some planning for this over the last few weeks, I don't expect we'll get a replacement. Output numbers aside the lad has talent and it is a shame he's leaving as he was genuinely exciting to watch. That said, it is decent money and turning profit on a player after 1 year is no bad thing. Not to mention that the last thing we need is another unhappy player taking a decent wedge and not fully applying himself. Wait what, why a loan?!?!

Couldn't have happened to 2 better managers.

Took my Dad a couple of years to properly settle into his retirement. It's a big change, I think it's very understandable it would be weird for a while.

I suppose a loan with an option is very low risk and at the very least he's clearly got some fighting spirit. Never a good sign when a forum is hammering him though, regardless of the fact we are not on a par with Feyenoord.

Mersey ferries river cruise is something different and it's the best view of the city. There's also a kids science centre called Eureka at the Seacombe (Wirral side) terminal. Really good views over the city from Everton Park as well and there's a kids play area there too. If you've got time and the weather is OK, I'd recommend going up to Waterloo/Crosby or Formby beach. More facilities etc at Waterloo but Formby is easily the nicest spot and there's a squirrel trail to help try and keep the little one engaged. Both Cathedrals up on Hope St are worth seeing too. Sanskruti is pretty good. Duke St Markets is a good spot, its one of those places with various food traders and you just order everything by QR code. I can't really speak too well to child friendly stuff but I think a lot of places here are relaxed and will do what they can to accommodate you. I will try and have a better think about whether the spots I would recommend for coffee/lunch/dinner are OK for kids. Liverpool is a great city and it's very friendly, I'm sure you'll have a great time. Any questions feel free to DM me.

I watched the QB doc when it came out. Bit better than S1, was certainly interesting to see a bit more from Goff and Burrow. Surprised they kept Kirk on again. Watched 2 eps of the cowboys doc but that was enough - Jones is so full of himself I'm not sure I can stomach any more. I watched a series of the Cowboys Cheerleaders doc and must say I thought that was really good. Very interesting insight to see how hard those women work, many of them until this season having to work several jobs to survive. Crazy really how exploitative they've been given the Cowboys is one of the richest clubs in world sport.

I don't want Everton to do well but very happy for KDH. Looked like he shinned it on the replay!

Heh, I think it's a bit much to suggest an old rhyme we say to kids to try and help them deal with people who are nasty to them is a "dangerous fallacy."

I agree, and I would add to that that in general people are becoming far more individualistic too. Country first, my community first (whatever that may be), us first, me first. It all feeds into each other, especially when things are challenging and living standards are declining and inequality is rising.

How odd.. I'm off to Toronto in 2 weeks with a few friends for a wedding. Really looking forward to it.

I think that's a stretch. There's a big difference between not wanting to play a role which you feel doesn't put you at your best and thinking you are too good for the team in general.

Good deal, wish him well. Pretty surprised they've spent that on him.

My worry is that the combination of success and tragedy means Top has formed some very unique "bond" with the Club and he is incredibly unlikely to sell unless things get properly desperate. He will continue to coast and show us all contempt for a long time yet.

Good money for him. Bit odd doing this now to a team in the same division rather than Sunderland last year. Wish him well, always a shame to see academy lads go.

Luke's more skillful and moustache endowed brother..

Finished watching Normal People last night. I thought it was excellent.

I understand the point, in general it makes sense but he is so full of excuses. It reminds me of Brendan coming out with all that dross 3 seasons ago.

Brussell's comments afterwards are great. Thank fvck we don't have to put up with him.

Was just about to say the same thing price wise. Pretty depressing but we obviously need the money and you really can't argue with doubling up on your investment given the circumstances. Anyone thinking we'll hold out for £50m is crackers.

I think it's easy to forget how big the drop off is to the bottom end of the championship. We have some shite but it would have to be bad beyond belief to get relegated from this division over a 46 game season.

Came in here to post it. GRIM!

His lack of defending for their equaliser is shocking. He's literally just jogging alongside their player and lets him cut in and shoot.
