Thought someone was on the wind up but no the actual name for Everton's new home will be the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

No harm but who cares.  Best league in the world my @rse.  It's pure muck

Apparently it was much better quality in the 90s/early 00s when the best English clubs bar united in 99 couldn't compete against other nations clubs in Europe. But when 3 different premier league clubs have recently won the champions league and world club and the 16th and 17th placed teams in the league are playing in a European final it's poor muck 😂.

Enjoyed it more when you could put in a tackle and players weren't falling around the place

You can still tackle?

Ever actually watch a full game from the 90s, most of it was absolutely turgid stuff. I think we look at it through rose tinted glasses sometimes. You forget the mucky pitches, slow play and the fact that almost every goal was scored from 6 yards out.
Give me a De Bruyne or McAllister worldie any day.

Today isn't a patch on the noughties.

The 90's  were the best  time I thought. Before the obscene  money  came in and ruined things

Early to mid  90's, you  could name and recognise most players  in the league.  Nowadays I couldn't pick  out a quarter of  the players from   the  team I follow .

Say what you like about so called Better players coming in , but there was  more of a , (for want of a better word) connection  with teams, when most of the players were from Britain and Ireland.   They all spoke English and you could pronounce  their names. Nowadays most teams barely has   a player from Europe never  mind Britain. I dunno, maybe I'm going all Abe Simpson, but  I just preferred how things  were back in 19-dickety-two.

No stats for the 90s but can imagine it was similar if not more than the noughties.

Disagree with red hand, goals today are either scored from inside the box or set pieces. How many iconic goals could you name past 5 years?

90s/00s - Henry vs United, Shearer hitting a screamer every other weekend, Becks halfway goal, Ben Arfas dribble, Bergkamp vs Newcastle, Tony Yeboah, then Gerard had a few goals (West Ham, Olympiakos) Van Persie vs Charlton etc

I don't know what it is but football is a hard watch these days. Don't know if it's because over analysis has taken away from the passion from the game but it's not alwhat is used to be.

Wouldn't even know the FA Cup final is on today. Long gone are the days that BBC use to have 4 or 5 hours of pre-match coverage.  If FA Cup winner got a Champion league place than the side finishing 5th in the Premier League it might spice up the competition again.
