Reply | Who Is Up To Liverpool
at 21:47 6 Mar 2025
I ran the dock road from Everton's new ground and it is exactly 1 mile from the Liver Building, so slightly less to the bars of Dale Street and Matthew Street, as you say about the same distance from Central Station to St Mary's , I would say slightly shorter.
Only drawback is no public transport |

Eustace has a little more League managerial experience than (125 games) but they are all for clubs in the Championship and all the clubs were fighting relegation.
Rohl's experience is mainly as assistant. but assistant at RB Leipzig, Southampton, Bayern Munich & the German national team and now as a manager with 78 games in charge for Sheffield Wednesday, perhaps gives him more experience than Eustace.
He knows both the Championship and the Premier League, unlike say Selles, he has paid his dues and is now working his way up the managerial pecking order |

When you say Uncle Lech is wasting his breath, that is exactly why he is standing up, people said he was wasting his breath back in the 1980's in Poland, but he stood up for what he saw as right.
He still doesn't sit back when something needs saying. |

Has sent a very scathing letter to Donald Trump, perhaps a reminder of what things used to be like for those countries under the USSR.
Your Excellency, Mr. President,
We watched the report of your conversation with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, with fear and distaste. We find it insulting that you expect Ukraine to show respect and gratitude for the material assistance provided by the United States in its fight against russia. Gratitude is owed to the heroic Ukrainian soldiers who shed their blood in defense of the values of the free world. They have been dying on the front lines for more than 11 years in the name of these values and the independence of their homeland, which was attacked by Putin’s russia.
We do not understand how the leader of a country that symbolizes the free world cannot recognize this.
Our alarm was also heightened by the atmosphere in the Oval Office during this conversation, which reminded us of the interrogations we endured at the hands of the Security Services and the debates in Communist courts. Prosecutors and judges, acting on behalf of the all-powerful communist political police, would explain to us that they held all the power while we held none. They demanded that we cease our activities, arguing that thousands of innocent people suffered because of us. They stripped us of our freedoms and civil rights because we refused to cooperate with the government or express gratitude for our oppression. We are shocked that President Volodymyr Zelensky was treated in the same manner.
The history of the 20th century shows that whenever the United States sought to distance itself from democratic values and its European allies, it ultimately became a threat to itself. President Woodrow Wilson understood this when he decided in 1917 that the United States must join World War I. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt understood this when, after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, he resolved that the war to defend America must be fought not only in the Pacific but also in Europe, in alliance with the nations under attack by the Third Reich.
We remember that without President Ronald Reagan and America’s financial commitment, the collapse of the Soviet empire would not have been possible. President Reagan recognized that millions of enslaved people suffered in Soviet russia and the countries it had subjugated, including thousands of political prisoners who paid for their defense of democratic values with their freedom. His greatness lay, among other things, in his unwavering decision to call the USSR an “Empire of Evil” and to fight it decisively. We won, and today, the statue of President Ronald Reagan stands in Warsaw, facing the U.S. Embassy.
Mr. President, material aid—military and financial—can never be equated with the blood shed in the name of Ukraine’s independence and the freedom of Europe and the entire free world. Human life is priceless; its value cannot be measured in money. Gratitude is due to those who sacrifice their blood and their freedom. This is self-evident to us, the people of Solidarity, former political prisoners of the communist regime under Soviet russia.
We call on the United States to uphold the guarantees made alongside Great Britain in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which established a direct obligation to defend Ukraine’s territorial integrity in exchange for its relinquishment of nuclear weapons. These guarantees are unconditional—there is no mention of treating such assistance as an economic transaction.
Signed,
Lech Wałęsa, former political prisoner, President of Poland |

From the road outside it looks massive and very impressive, but from the other side of the Mersey it looks quite small when compared with some of the big old warehouses next to it
I am told that when it gets dark it lights up and is very impressive from across the water |

You are right it is the reality, and you are right every club can say that they didn't get the rub of the green, otherwise they would have done this or that.
I am not defending anything other than the fact that I originally said that I thought we had a squad with a chance of staying up at the start of the season.
As I said with luck in just 3 games we would have had a fighting chance, so my claim is not utter rubbish, it just highlights that with a decision or two in our favour and perhaps a defender doing his job on 4/5 occasions we might have had a chance.
What is utter rubbish is the fact your claim that we are "on track" to be the worst Premier League team in history, at the moment we are averaging 3.33 points per game, if we keep up that average then it will give us 3.63 points which netted down to 3 is enough to give us 12 points at the end of the season and beat Derby's 11 point record low.
Lets leave it there. |

Why is it utter rubbish, if you take 3 games where we threw away points and got a bad Var call
Ipswich home hold on thats 2 more points, 1 off Ipswich.
Leicester home hold on to 2-0 lead that is 3 points to us and 3 off Leicester.
Wolevs way, bad VAR call etc if we had won that game then 3 points to us and 3 off Wolves.
If that was the case then the table would now be.
Wolves 19 points
Saints 17 points
Ipswich 16 points
Leicester 14 points
Those were 3 games where things didn't go for us and easily could have, so what it shows is that, what I am saying was not "Utter Rubbish" it could easily have been the case.
If those 3 games had gone for us, then perhaps we would have picked up more points in other games, but i am not putting them into the equation.
What is "Utter Rubbish" is when people don't look at circumstances and just blindly look at League tables to give an opinion. |

Although a few people have slagged off this team, it should be noted that it is the core of the side that got us promotion last time.
But there are more options this time than last.
At RB we have Bree/ Suguwara
CB Edwards & Wood are both proven Championship players, I would think we would maybe keep Bednarek.
At left back there is Manning and then perhaps Charlie Taylor 0r Welington,maybe Juan Larios.
In the centre of the midfield we could be very strong, Downes/Charles/Smallbone perhaps even Lallana.
Wide players include, Fraser, Edozie, Sulemana,
Up front Adam Armstrong Archer even Ross Stewart
That is a good foundation of players, many of whom played last season in the Championship for us and a little bit of experience such as Taylor & Lallana.
There will of course be departures and they will fund a new signing or two to bolster the squad.
All in all there is plenty to be positive about, yes we are short in some departments but we can use loan signings and buy in players where needed.
Also there are some players who might just end up staying, Bella-Kotchap might struggle to find a club who will take him at the moment, likewise Onuachu, Brereton-Diaz might also stay |

It is a very iconic ground and right on the Mersey , Manchester City started in their ground in 2003, they were decidedly average for the few seasons in it, until the Arabs rode into town, it's money that talks these days |

Sometimes I have to go through Millbrook and the areas around where I grew up, truth is I was shocked at how downhill it had gone in the last 20 years or so.
No one seemed to care about the area, things dumped all over the place, there was no pride in the area or keeping it looking nice.
However if you see some of these you tube things from other cities, Southampton is relatively neat & tidy by comparison. |
