Everton is on a roll lately. Nonces, causing Liverpool to lose world heritage status,… what’s next?

Villa are opening preseason today at Walsall. evidently Walsall has a player that the commentary team has been instructed to refer to as "Trialist A"

Don't sign your posts.

Having unnamed trialists this time of year is very common outside the top couple of divisions.

Has the world heritage status been that good for Liverpool? If it's preventing them from redeveloping a rundown part of the city with no actual historical value, I think it might be best to just let it go.

Yeah - as far as I can tell, it doesn't actually do anything other than indicate it as a historic landmark, and I'm pretty sure no tourist has ever gone to Liverpool with the intention of checking out their exciting derelict Victorian docks

Michael Owen might have, but he was already living there, so that doesn't count

Michael Owen doesn't understand the concept of looking at something, so it's moot.

Liverpool should have lost world heritage status years ago. It's less the end of the docks where Everton want their new ground (which is knackered and has been for decades) and more the area around the pier head and the liver building where they've built that stupid loving black cube building I walk past every morning, the museum of Liverpool that looks like a stepped on shoebox and the award winningly poo poo ferry terminal.

The guardian did a decent write up on it and diamond Joe Anderson's beautiful half finished bankrupt building sites with no planning permission or building regulations that are the pride of the dock road

They could have redeveloped the area with the requirement to preserve the look vs plunking down a ton of buildings with no architectural merit.

Couldn’t care less if the slave trading docks of Liverpool lose their heritage status, just amused that Everton were part of the reason why.

Liverpool the town is different to Liverpool the football club, there is no town of Everton who's football club moved to the waterfront in an epic troll to strip World heritage status.

I am merely expressing my amusement by the fact that a rival club caused this to happen to the city of Liverpool. Was I not clear about that?

Yes and it’s funny that non-Evertonians may now well be pissed off that they lost the city the status.

looks like headers are being phased out at youth level and pros are being limited to 10 headers a week

not sure how header rationing is going to be enforced but will be interesting to see what set pieces look like going forward. I'll miss big beefy bullet headers, RIP
