[Albion] Well Brighton played pretty well there a couple of weeks ago...

[Bozza]

Amusing little exchange on the plight of Everton on 5Live's Monday Night Club a few minutes ago between Dominic King (Mail football journalist) and regulars Chris Sutton and Rory Smith...

Dominic King: When you go to Goodison Park, it’s a place where proper football is played.​

​

Chris Sutton: When you say proper football though Dom, well come on. So Everton fans, when was the last time they saw proper football?​

​

Rory Smith: Well Brighton played pretty well there a couple of weeks ago!​

Is that the use of "proper" as a synonym for "outdated"?
Not familiar enough with the mail to know if their view of sport aligns with their politics.

Scratching my head as to wtf he even means by that. I guess, something to do with history (a long long time ago) and Everton being a massive club and whatever, but what exactly does he mean? Or did he miss out the 'shit' between 'proper' and 'football'?

Harking back to the days of the Holy Trinity I suspect - for those under 60 - Harvey Kendall Ball (no that’s not the chap who plays for Leicester)

Talking about long ball Utd no doubt

One of the so called big clubs who last one a Trophy in 1992 and most of their fans are entitled knobheads.
Will piss myself if they get relegated

Everton won the FA Cup in 1995.

They do love a long hoof down the field don’t they? Seems to be working though

Yes, but when was the last time they one a Trophy?

Atrophy - describes them nicely.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Yes, but when was the last time they one a Trophy?

You do mean won a trophy, correct?
