From Nufc.com

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the Premiership pie consumption table.

pos team number sold 1 Everton 133,118 2 Manchester City 110,707 3 Aston Villa 104,253 4 Leeds 91,200 5 mackems 69,311 6 Newcastle 68,500 20 Manchester Utd 10,923

Note that Fergie's boys finished bottom of the league, presumably due to excess consumption of prawn sandwiches.....

Figures are from last season, which no doubt means Everton will have cemented their position at the top of the league since signing Gazza.

Well the figures are from last season so here's hoping for an audacious climb up the table next time round.

Anyone seen the Opta Prawn Sandwich stats yet?

How can we be expected to believe that Everton fans - of who there half as many - eat something over 20 times as many pies as manure fans.

Putting my 'steak' firmly in the ground, and not wishing to 'mince' my words, I reckon these statistics are a 'bit off' personally. If not, then Everton's 'turnover' must be substantially up on the previous season.

It does go some way to accounting for the gut on that 'shirt swapping' Everton idiot last Saturday (if I'd been Nyarko I'd have decked him). Having said that I guess most of us look somewhat podgy compared with the greyhound-like slenderness of the modern footballer.

Perhaps it is easier getting served at Everton, the queues for anything at SJP are ridiculous. The one & only time I took my son to the match I spent all of half time & 5 mins of the game queuing for a f'king hot dog & coke.

What is it with this only serve when the half-time whistle goes bull, do they think the atmosphere will suffer?

And another thing, the lager is really crap at the ground, I had a lovely pint of Fosters at the macums place, we have a brewery across the road and still serve up that garbage.

Yup the queues are stupid....We have to take it in turns to go down 10 mins before half time to get in with a shout of getting a beer at halftime....fucking pathetic...

it is possible to get it right cos Ben manages to get chips in the family enclosure most games without much of a wait at all, so it really is down to numbers serving

We managed to get beer in the sports bar no problem this weekend....in fact they gave us too much beer! got another drink just as the 2nd half was about to kick off (were gonna just watch the first 5 mins on the screen) and were promptly told we'd have to leave the drinks as there's no drinking allowed once the match re-starts.....so why did they serve us?

Tossers....

Don't know about the rest of the ground, but in the East Stand the problem is one of organisation in the refreshment kiosks - of the non- existent variety!
Teenagers are just thrown into these jobs - with no training at all one of them told me - and there is simply no pre-thought or logistical organisation whatsoever to ensure as many people are served as quickly as possible.

As an minor indication of the lack of planning, where I am they run out of Bovril every single home game. I frequently ask the kids "why don't you advise your supervisor and ask him to get more stock?" The answer is always the same "we do, every week!"

Game, set & match!
