Try to drag yourself into the 21st century. If you want to go that route lets add Michael "benchwarmer" Owen, and Stevie G.


Henderson- ?20 million, Carroll- ?35 million, Downing- ?20 million, their faces when ?2.75 million Van Persie takes all 3 points: Priceless. Anyone gonna start asking the court jester AKA "King " Kenny how come his his expensive signings can't find their backsides with both hands never mind the back of the net? Spuds, only 4 points now - mind the gap.

Otta, 'every team has players who do it', care to name names/teams? there is the odd player who might look to take advantage of a shoulder barge, this is not to be compared with certain players who look to cheat at any given opportunity, witness Suarez. apples with pears.

Bales swan dive with half pike and triple twist could have ended up having our keeper sent off and as for Suarez, don't get me started with him.

Neither here nor there, still a diving cheating twat and shouldn't do it. THAT'S the point.

Everton fan thinks Liverpool are the worst club for diving. Wow, what a totally unpredictable shock, I can hardly believe it.


btw name an everton diver?




(I distance myself from calling fans and players scum by the way)


Leon Osman


Tim Hibbert


I'm not trying to say that it's rife at Everton, but don't try to tell me that the fine gents who don the blue shirt are somehow above taking a dive.


I admit that Liverpool players have dived, but trying to suggest that it's some sort of ingrained part of the football club is just biased nonsense, but not surprising.


This little Hall of shame would suggest Spurs are pretty bad for it, but I wouldn't call Spurs a team of divers. And hang on, is that an Everton player I see in that list??? Surely not, as Everton players DO NOT DIVE!!!


And PD, surely no Arsenal player would ever take a dive?!?!?!?


Oh hang on.


And there's more



I hate pasting all this stuff, as I have not moaned about other teams diving, and as I said, I wish no Liverpool player would dive. But, for anyone to come opn here and try to say that their team would never do a thing like that, well, that's just bul!shit.

My "Google Skills" that have so impressed you involved going to google and typing "Everton player dives". Believe me, I didn't have to dig deep.


And no, I don't think ",diver" when I think Osman, my point was simply that it happens.


You, as ever, just want to paint Liverpool as the baddies. Whatever makes you happy man.


Christ, you must have wet your pants when Stephane Henchoz's hand blocked an Arsenal shot in the 2001 cup final.

Oh bugger! Thought Spurs played quite well today and then Man U get three chances and stick them all away. That's football. I can't remember the last time we beat Man Utd. Maybe Red Devil can enlighten me on that one. I knew we'd lose today by the way.


PS: I've never ever ever seen an Arsenal player dive or cheat in anyway whatsoever. They are so honest those Gooners. They are beyond reproach. And Arsene Wenger's eyesight is the best in the world and he's never ever been known to winge. EVER!

I don't where the fuck you get your information from? Perhaps you've forgotten we scored five against Newcastle? OK it's gone a bit tits up since then but we'll be back winning again very soon.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
