Prophetic. All we need now is for a thermonuclear war or the aliens to finally arrive.

No offence mate but I’ve been to your fair city couple times and it was grim. Did the tour thing docklands etc bus tour and we went for a stroll the museum had the terracotta warriors on display all that was fine but we ended up outside a big hotel that had appeared in a tv series and outside were a bunch of junkie twats just making an arse of themselves and were quite intimidating and we walked back down to the waterfront and on the way down it wasn’t very pleasant.Avoid Liverpool city centre for the next few weeks.

Same trip went into a paper shop another guy came in after me went to the counter and the bloke handed him something from under the counter? It was a copy of the Sun newspaper slipped it inside his jacket and left, is that the situation regarding the Sun paper all over Liverpool the city or Liverpool fc has it the same affect on Everton and their fans?God mate you should have seen it in the 1970's, it was like Chernobyl!
That was down to a match shy golden boy Kane replacing Moura. Not solely, but a different side from the semi.
Is that the same 'crappy' Moura who had just scored a hat trick in the semi final and saved our arses ??
Yes
But it wasn’t like he scored a hat trick because he was creating a ton of chances he was the guy standing there after others made the plays.
And although there is nothing more that (many) Spurs fans love to do is overrate that one game by him he has a whole career showing that game was by far tge exception than the norm for him.
Let us just isolate the incident rather than try to merge it into the 'overall picture' of the entire season. We have someone who has just scored three goals in a semi and is obviously buzzing and on form but we drop him for the final to play our usual star striker who is not match fit and has not kicked a ball in anger for two whole months. Surely it should have been the other way around ? Moura starts and Kane on later in the second half, hopefully for a cameo appearance and to lift the cup.
Anyway, this has been discussed at extremely great length on this forum and it's one of those "We'll never know" ones. Looking at the situation coldly and rationally I personally think Poch allowed sentiment over common sense and made the wrong choice.
I will just say that to expect Harry to put in a typical "Kane" performance immediately following 54 days off, especially in a CPL Final was at the least 'naieve'. He invariably takes a couple of matches to get back into his stride (this latest episode being a perfect example). We shall never agree so I'll leave it there.

Sorry, I wasn’t really trying to have a go. It’s just the extent to which the two clubs have gone in opposite directions since the CL Final last year is truly stunning - but depressingly so - not a surprise. One club has an ownership that has the vision and commitment to push on from the disappointment of the previous season - whilst the other, clearly, doesn’t.
The vast majority of us also really hate the Sun. It got banned from Goodison after Kelvin Mackenzie wrote an article comparing Barkley to a gorilla.Same trip went into a paper shop another guy came in after me went to the counter and the bloke handed him something from under the counter?
