Went to see them last night at Papillon, very good live band which surprised me as their music is so laid back.
The frontman was very witting and entertaining and a packed house enjoyed it
Papillon is a decent live venue in between the Joiners and the Engine rooms in size and handy for the bus home etc.
I hadn't been there for 32 years when it was Cloisters I think, mind you it was closed or a restaurant for a lot of that
A decent night out

I saw him in the supermarket recently, he doesn't go to see Saints much these days, few up with the state of football rather than Saints I think

A good song for Sunday might be a version of Blue Moon, something along the lines of.
Blue Few
we see you singing alone
Without a hope in your heart
Just a bell end of your own.
Blue Few
We won't shed a tear still
For all the empty Stands
And the seats that you cant fill
Blue Few
I believe you were famous before
Most of us were even born
And the 2nd World War
Blue Few
Two League titles you bragged
But not of your financial mess
And the innocent Charities you blagged
Blue Few
Best fans in the world you claim
But thats not backed up by the facts
So called Portsmyth is your fame

You have a good handle on the situation, they have probably realised that they can get Roma into the CL a lot easier than Everton and indeed Roma as Champions etc, due to the lack of real competition there at the moment.
You could say the same about Spurs & Newcastle they can't spend enough to compete as 5 clubs have more, |

The last year has seen the overall traffic on this site just about more than trebled than it was a year ago and quadrupled since the dark days of 2022/23.
But the number of threads and messages posted on this message board has remained fairly constant, although those reading and not posting has more than doubled.
Thanks to everyone for this but I want to get this message board buzzing again, today has seen a lot of traffic but little engagement in terms of new threads or replies to posts.
So I want to get it going again, if everyone who posts on here regularly put up one new threads up themselves a week, then we would be buzzing.
Likewise polls, if 500 people visit the poll, we only get around 10-15% actually click on and vote, I can't understand this one, if you have clicked to view it why not vote.
Anyway thanks for all you support, I value it, but I started the Ugly in 1988 with CF to "Give the fans a voice" back then it was virtually the only voice they had, today there are loads of channels open, but I TUI was always about the fans opinions not just mine, even if i don't always agree with them, I want to keep it that way.
So it would really help if you could make it an October resolution to post at least a new thread a week then it would help as we head into 2027 and our 38th year since the 1st edition back in April 1988 and our 27th since our launch online in August 2000

This is a strange one
"The Friedkin Group (TFG) are ready to sell Everton less than two years after completing their takeover of the Merseyside club. The American ownership group is seeking external investment in the Premier League side but would consider selling if the right buyer emerged to take Everton 'forward.'"
In a club statement released this morning (Friday), the Blues confirmed TFG are 'exploring new investment options' for the club, including the 'potential sale of a controlling interest.'
They have only only been at the club two years, so not sure what has changed according to a football finacial analyst
"Ultimately, The Friedkin Group are American sports franchise investors and investors, by definition, are looking for a return on their investment. Perhaps running the club as a solid enterprise in the Premier League, getting a couple of years of improved revenues and using that for the basis of a sale could form part of a broader strategy.
"If that is the case, then does it mean that the transfer budget is dictated to by non-football reasons rather than footballing ones in terms of not creating a significant transfer payables budget and transfer payables sum which might have to be dealt with on exit."
This is modern football and personally I think big changes to the structure are needed a European Super League is imminent, probably bankrolled by the UAE |

Ivan Toney got an 8 month ban , see this fella borrowed some lawyers from Tonda
From the BBC:
The Football Association has fined Everton forward Martin Sherif £5,000 for breaching its betting rules over a 15-month period.
The 20-year-old admitted placing 61 bets on games between 20 November 2024 and 12 February 2026.
The striker, who was born in Liberia, joined Everton's youth set-up in 2019 and began training with the first team in early 2025.
In February he joined Port Vale on loan for the remainder of the season, scoring twice in 17 League One appearances as they were relegated.
"The player admitted breaching FA Rule E1.2 by causing, permitting, or enabling 61 bets to be placed on football matches," read an FA statement.

I would never have signed for Portsmouth when i was at the height of my playing career, even if I was super talented and they were top of the Premier League and I had been capped 50 times for England and they were the richest club in the country and could pay me the highest wage in football history, I would have turned them down |

Original lyrics.
You've done me wrong
Your time is up
You took a sip (Just a sip)
From the devil's cup
You broke my heart
There's no way back
Move right out of here, baby, go and pack your bags
Just who do you think you are?
Stop actin' like some kind of star
Just who do you think you are?
Take it like a man, baby, if that's what you want
'Cause I'm moving on up
You're moving on out
Moving on up
First draft New Lyrics
Youve done us wrong
Your time is up
You grassed us up
you did us wrong
So we sing this song
so we sing this song
Move right out of here, baby, go and pack your bags
Just who do you think you are
Just Skates from Fratton Park
In our shadow since 1962
Take it like a man baby thats because your called the blue few
'Cause we're moving on up
You're moving on down
Moving on up |
