  1. Funniest member would be good....though the wording may need some work .
  2. That's surely not the real ManU one . It's a Rugby League shirt!
  3. Bloody ridiculous. There were a couple of lads in Stanley Park singing, "You're not singing anymore" while we were walking back to the car. They just got it pointed out to them that they'd not been singing for a week....because their season was over. Certainly no-one took even a step towards them. Madness.
  4. Quite right....strictly speaking we're talking "Continental Europe." Ireland's not included in that.
  5. The first ToffeeTalk end of season awards are currently under discussion by a crack team of almost uncorruptable mods in the Staff Room. We'll be asking members to vote in the very near future. Categories are being finalised so this is not a definitive list but we're thinking along the lines of... Best European Member Best World Member Best Mod/Admin (pm me with your paypal details ) Best Avatar/Sig Best Drunken Drivel Best Info/Stats Best non-Evertonian Best Senior Best Junior Best Newcomer Exceptional Contribution Most Missed Missing Member We'll come up with the nominations ourselves, but if anyone has any ideas about who should be thrust into the limelight send one of us a PM. Or if you think there's a category we've overlooked let us know. These prestigous magnificent awards will be presented at a glittering red carpet ceremony as soon as someone finds the Dyson. ...thinks...I'd like to thank my agent, my parents, Jebus...oh...sorry.
  6. I don't think it'll have any significant effect. When you look at it and think "50% tax" it sounds a lot but you've got to remember that they're paying 40% already on the majority of their earnings, so the increase in tax burden is 20% (less than that actually but keeping it simple). The vast majority of premier players wouldn't earn more abroad. I'm sure they'll struggle on .
  7. Was about to say the same thing after looking through the pics. Someone suggested that a few days back and I had my doubts but it's spot on.
  8. “Wayne Rooney also said something about him and he ended up facing a lawsuit." Which he lost because what he said was invention .
  9. Great idea to use Xav and Scottish Red....saved yourself the trauma of spending time on an enemy forum !
  10. Reina Carragher Jagielka Lescott Baines Kuyt Alonso Fellaini Pienaar Gerrard Torres Subs Howard Arbeola Skyrtl Mascherano Cahill Arteta Benayoun Can't really argue with any of that (apart from the lack of strikers on the bench) .
  11. This one should be easy . Although Hodgson's winning currently. He'd be my second choice.
  12. If Louis says it's due Oct/Nov then I'm sure it's due Oct/Nov. Knows his stuff when it comes to the stadium .
  13. Transfer Window Fever. Highly contagious virulent condition that affects most football fans on a biannual basis. Victims commonly labour under the delusion that they have an enyclopedic knowledge of every pro-footballer in the world from the Screwfix Paints Northern League division 4a under 16 reserves upwards .
  14. Her successor. She was only the figurehead anyway, the decision will be made by experts/advisors within the department and be rubber stamped by whoever the next minister is. Politicians are far to busy with their expense claims (and currently their shredders) to make actual decisions themselves .
  15. So he's a crocked jinx high earner who they'll want big money for. Sounds like a Newcastle signing to me .
  16. Just had surgery on his knee so he'll be going nowhere this summer.
  17. Play-off round (20th and 27th August), so just one win and we're in the group stage.
  18. Hmmm....you weren't exactly spot on with him though .
  19. Brazilian playmaker Kaka has signed for Real Madrid in a £56m deal, Spanish radio station Cadena Ser reports. (Agence France Presse 1956 BST)
  20. “It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” Douglas Adams.
  21. Quite right. I'm certainly not their target market so there'd be something very wrong if it all appealed to me.
  22. Think he was mixing his James's....McFudge & Vaughan . He is an American after all and you know how they struggle with the English language :cowboy: .
