I'd just walk down to the County Road (down any of the streets off Goodison Road), have a walk along and see what I like the look of. Loads there. Only been able to have a beer once in recent years due to driving, having my lad with me and temperance :angel: . Went to the Players Bar on my last trip though....was OK.

Huge debt, owner suggests the players (and staff) take a pay-cut. Zola not happy. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/8505540.stm That'll be Upson gone then...Parker probably as well. Slippery slope.

Dropped his appeal so he won't be playing aganist us. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8487290.stm

Hope to God you're wrong. Coleman right back, Neville in midfield, Heitinga at the back and Distin on the bench for me. Yobo's not listed in the squad Mark, though they often get it wrong. A lot depends on the readiness (in DM's head) of Arteta & Rodwell....one or both may play....and Coleman almost certainly won't.

I don't know but there's some horrific stuff doing the rounds on the net on the back of this. The pure evil and hatred on all sides is unbelievable. Don't know how much of it is people just trying to shock given the anonymity sitting behind a PC gives them and how much is genuine. It's very sad but it is a small minority I think in the real world.

What!? No warm flat overpriced plastic coated Chang ? Disgraceful .

I like it. Proper old fashioned football shirt (other than the sleeves being a different shade to the body...wtf's that about?). Not much different to the '66 shirt (which I'm sure is the idea). Would be better if it was blue...love to see us play in something similar.

Not ever needed a taxi after a game but I'd be nervous about making that personally. I'd certainly have one pre-booked and not rely on finding one in the street. Enjoy it anyway, sure your son will....and maybe you'll see the light yourself .

Don't you think possibly that other teams have wanted Cahill over the years (was going to be Carrick's replacement at Spurs apparently)? Arteta's been rumoured to be wanted elsewhere any number of times, Yobo has been linked with a move, Neville was reportedly wanted by Newcastle a couple of years back. They're all still around. Not disputing the fact that we'll have to sell to buy big in the summer, along with (to an extent) everyone bar City and Chelsea. To say that "..every time we have a player that another team wants, we end up selling them.." just isn't true.

Saha.

Don't blink Trev...no time at all ago this was my lad... Now he's a teenager...deep voiced (if you get my drift ), taller than his mum and closing in on me in the tipping league. Goes by in a flash .

I agree....it was embarrassing. Saw them on several occasions over the years....most recently at Live Aid twenty-five years ago (my God where does the time go ) and they were immense. Last night was appalling.

31-17 New Orleans....three minutes to go....game over . Bedtime.

10-6 Colts at half time. Not overly bothered but I'd kind of like New Orleans to win.

Huge congratulations to you and Archie's mum mate. Another Blue born. Best thing ever ain't it ?

I'd just say you watch too much TV . Three months would be a real shame....just when the whole injury situation is looking up .

Next post was exactly fifty minutes later. Needs work :whistle: .

Craccer's maturing....couple of years back that'd have been a two word answer....and the second one would have been "off."

I watch the first two episodes of the last series of LOST last night. Wtf !? But I suppose you could say that about every series.

Disagree...German's much easier than French for me. Got a better O level result in German than I did in French and I only did it for three years against five for French (plus some basic at primary school). You want difficult? Try Greek. I've had three or four aborted attempts to learn it so far. But I'll get it one day . Also had a South African girlfriend once who tried to teach me some Xhosa...has loads of different "click" sounds in it as well as normal verbal stuff. Totally impossible.

England have drawn Wales, Switzerland, Montenegro & Bulgaria. 76th, 18th, 72nd and 30th world ranked respectively. Easiest group ever by the look of it (watch us cock it up ). Scotland are screwed (Spain, Czech Republic, SCOTLAND, Lithuania, Liechtenstein). So are NI (Italy, Serbia, NORTHERN IRELAND, Slovenia, Estonia, Faroe Islands). Republic got a chance (Russia, Slovakia, REPUBLIC OF IRELAND, FYR Macedonia, Armenia, Andorra).

Juventus paid £3.2m for Zinedine Zidane and sold him for €78 (£46m at the time). Real Madrid didn't say, "...we're not paying that (significantly more than a 1000% increase) because you only paid this..." He's worth what someone's prepared to pay.

What we paid for him is irrelevant, but I agree we wouldn't get that much with only a year left on his contract (unless his performances at the World Cup start a bidding war).

I think mine is a better answer to 27 personally Bill .
