  1. Mike, really great positive news. Really pleased for you.
  2. MikeO is right. Chester and Chesterfield.
  3. I agree that Messi didn't deserve the Golden Ball. At the other end of the scale, the worst player was Hulk. He was even worse than any of the England squad.
  4. Welcome in. You do realise that 'once an Everton fan, always an Everton fan'? It is a lifetime commitment. I started in about 1943, but as there was no organised football during the war, had to wait until 1946 for my first game. You couldn't have made a better decision though. Enjoy the ride!
  5. We know that Everton and Liverpool are separated by a Park and that Nottingham Forest and Notts County are separated by the River Trent, but which two clubs are separated by a field?
  6. 1979 Sunderland 1980 Brooking 1981 Villa
  7. In the Telegraph today. The nickname of Cowdenbeath in the Scottish Leagues is 'The Blue Brazils'. There is a rumour that Brazil's new nickname is 'The Yellow Cowdenbeath's'.
  8. 2. The band of the Coldstream Guards.
  9. I think the umpire phones Sir Alex Ferguson and asks permission to speak to Howard Webb.
  10. With a bit of luck they will buy Carroll back from West Ham.
  11. The year before last I had a long week-end in Cork. Age 77 with a heart condition, the travel insurance was £7 with the AA.
  12. It was more about Brazil being poor (bordering on useless) than Germany being good. What's Hulk all about? He wouldn't get a game at Tranmere Rovers. The Germans don't do themselves any favours with their 'diving'. Muller spends more time on his back than on his feet.
  13. MikeO, will get back to you on this. Did I mention that the ball was in a hazard!!!!
  14. Sad to see that Di Stefano has died aged 88. I saw him play (on TV) in several EuropeanCup Finals for Real Madrid, including the 7 - 3 win over the Swedish team (whose name escapes me!). He was a combination of Messi and Ronaldo. If he played today, you couldn't put a price on him.
  15. The thing is, its NOT art. Its the biggest con trick of the last 100 years.
  16. Charles Saatchi may lack taste but he makes a lot of money out of it. He pays a lot of money for crap but creates a 'market'. Then gullible rich people come along and pay even more when Saatchi sells it. Non-artists like Emin and Hirst make a lot of money. Saatchi makes a lot of money and the bozo's at the end of the chain think they have a masterpiece.
  17. A couple of years ago, I transferred all my insurances (car, buildings, contents) to the AA and saved £380. This year (third year) after 'no claims' my motor insurance went up by 25% and the other two by 28%. Needless to say, I am with someone else now.
  18. Golf. What is the penalty if you have an air shot while playing the wrong ball.
  19. I see that Scottish bloke lost in the singles at Wimbledon.
  20. Bill, 78 last St. Patrick's day. Managed 9 holes of golf today though!
  21. Welcome in Houston24. I was in Houston in 1983. Started supporting Everton in 1946. Once you start - it is for life!
  22. The consolation for those who wanted Switzerland to win was knowing that Blatter would be pissed off.
  23. The old sporting adage: 'Its better to be lucky than good'. If you apply this to the World Cup it must mean that Germany or France will win it.
  24. Yes, he's made all those who defended him look right prats.
  25. Oi! I'm 78 and don't look as old as Robben.
