    GW 19: Boxing Day and following

    Getting a jump to post this, a Christmas gift from my 13 year old daughter. She’s got the bottle of a Toffee all right, I’ve done something right.

    GW 16, 12/9-10: Send In the Clowns

    Wolves fans hanging this sign behind a goal, where the cameras can’t avoid it: They got overwhelmed with donations, far more than they needed. Pool visits Palace on the early kickoff so I expect to see youze Reds trickling in. We’re just buzzing here at chez OCST over Everton’s smashing of...

    Week 9 - 10/21-22 - Gamethread Cross the Mersey

    Two built in excuses for Klopp this morning, the earky game after the international break, and rain. Toffees have won 3 of 4 in all comps including an impressive pantsing of Villa at their place (with a horrid loss to Luton mixed on). With a healthy Calvert Lewin, the wings manned by two...

    GW 4 Game Thread: Sons of Duncan Ferguson Edinburgh Bash

    To call Edinburgh beautiful doesn’t do it justice. Architecturally it’s got to be right up there with Barcelona, Prague, etc. and then you’ve got these massive hills - mountains really- with savage cliffs erupting out of nowhere, and lush greenery everywhere. I haven’t before been to a city...

    GW3: 8/25-8/28 games: Reporting Live

    Greetings from downtown Liverpool, where I’m enjoying a pint while Mrs O and Teen O do something else. That’s Lime Street Station. Bad moon rising over Goodison, the transfers, finances, ownership situation, injuries and on the pitch performance are all shit. But we’re here goddammit...

    Everton 23-24: A Small Club

    New thread for a new season. Sean Dyche averaged about a half-point per game more than Lampard, although that's a low bar - Team Lampard (if you combined his Everton and Chelsea seasons, giving him his ppg average for the games he didn't manage) would have finished dead last in the league. I...

    Gameweek 2: 8/18 - 8/20 game thread

    Enjoying an IPA at my desk and Steve Cooper's ugly mug on the big screen in my deserted midtown office. Forest lead Sheffield United 1-0 just before half. Forest were dominant early but they've let the Blades get their wits about them.

    Copa Oro 2023: Better than a Non-league Summer Friendly, Sort of

    We've discussed the Gold Cup in desultory fashion in the general USMNT thread, but it merits its own thread, kind of. Some of the competition has actually been quite fun. But nobody does minnows the way CONCACAF does minnows. Coming up tonight: Panama vs. Martinique, which is so lacking in...

    5/13 game thread

    Leeds up early on Newcastle. Wilson and Isak both up top is not working. Not enough support to get them the ball, the passing is poor. wow.Pipe saves pen from Bamford to keep it 1-0

    4/15 weekend game thread

    Good one for the early tilt- Villans hosting Magpies. Emery quietly has AV at the top of the form table since he took over. Other than Chelsea - Brighton every game matters this weekend at one or both ends of the table.

    Export from Outlook for Mac to user-friendly format.

    Hi everyone. I’m folding up my law practice and joining another firm. My soon to be ex partner and I have massive Outlook for Mac databases going back 20 years. These are incredible resources and we’d like to have them in searchable form, including attachments. Trouble is to search them in...

    Forest host Newcastle tonight, get those FPL changes in. https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/club-statement-patrick-vieira/ With “enormous regret,” Palace sack Vieira. So difficult. What do you do with an attack that is so badly misfiring? Is this too little too late? Candy?

    Be Gentle With Me, It’s My First Time: A 53 Year Old Footy Rookie

    Hi. I've started playing soccer in a league. It's my first time playing soccer, or anything really, in a league with uniforms. I'm 53 years old. As a kid, I was a sports junkie and a terrible athlete. I played backyard baseball and football year round with neighborhood kids, poorly. My...

    1/6- 1/8: FA Cup & misc game thread

    Utd 3-1 Everton tonight but this was a very good Toffee performance I thought. 532, kept compact, same as draw with City. Frank tried to play 433 with possession against Brighton and they shredded us: Tarkowski and Coady are good but can’t play a high line with only one DM in front of them...

    GW 8: 9/16 - 9/18 game thread

    Just before half, Forest is up 1-0 on Fulham, Ayowini (sp?) with a well worked goal. Entertaining game. Fulham have had the run of play but not any joy. Willian looks not half bad. Mitro has been quiet. Jacob Ramsey goal has the Villans up on Soton at the half.
