Can't have been...otherwise Saha, Nash, Castillo & Jacobsen wouldn't be eligable either, and that isn't the case. Having checked UEFA... List A has to be submitted by the following fixed deadlines: a. 8 July 2008 (24.00 CET): for all matches in the first qualifying round; b. 4 August 2008 (24.00 CET): for all matches in the second qualifying round; c. 1 September 2008 (24.00 CET): for all matches from the first round. ...so it had to go in yesterday (1.00am today to be exact) .

My thoughts exactly!

No place (even on the bench) for our illustrious captain Rowlo? Or (more shockingly) Ossie?

Moyes out !

Absolutely, input's been really appreciated. Nice bunch of guys also. This has to have been the longest rumour thread ever!

I agree, it's you being pessimistic .

Exactly, still no word on who Berbatov's playing for for example....it's not over yet!

BBC 2227: "Everton are still hoping to clinch a late deal for Standard Liege midfielder Marouane Fellaini, for you Toffees' fans who had given up. Repeat: Do not go to bed."

BBC are reporting it as still a possible....not a texted in rumour either.

There's your answer to the midfield shortage, check the shirt, he's not signed him as a keeper !

Excuse me everyone....I'm just going to take a valium and listen to some very loud music for half an hour....days like these I wish I drank . Very much dubt I'm going to miss anything .

True, true, so am I.

No, it's not just you sadly .

Age playing tricks with my memory Steve .

You know that (apparently) it's no longer a game for millionaire owners, you need to be a billionaire....well just out in the car listening to Radio 5 a "Financial expert" reckons Abu Dhabi United is worth trillions. "Deeper pockets than Abramovich?" asked the presenter, "More money down the back of the sofa than Abramovich has in the bank!" Fuck .

Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac who lay awake all night wondering if there was a dog ? Sorry . And no I don't agree.

Unless I'm losing my mind BT never had the number nine did he? Eight all the time he was here surely?

According to the Beeb Ledley, "will not be signing for Stoke." Doesn't say what source they got it from.

Spurs have accepted a £30m+ offer from City for Berbatov apparently. Can someone interview Ferguson to see what he thinks about that please ? How will the City fans be feeling about having "United" printed on one of their shirts at a photo op today though ?

I'm really worried by the fact that DM & BK were in London this morning....smacks of pinning all their hopes on Obinna. Unless they're seen approaching Heathrow with a minibus to pick up all the incoming and heading for a pre-arranged rendezvous with the Medical Team I think we should start to get ready for the worst .

Why ? Experienced cover for Howard which a lot of people think we need, I don't happen to agree that we do but if we didn't get someone, then Tim got injured and Turner/Ruddy started shipping goals everyone would be screaming what a dick Davey was for not bringing someone in.

It's "Abu Dhabi United Group Investment and Development Limited" who claim to have bought City, not "Dubai International Capital." It's a different Emirate .

Agreed, the team spirit would have been much better with Clarke in....Poulter ain't popular at all <_< . Faldo just trying to show who's the boss, gesture along the lines of McLaren dropping Beckham, no sense in it other than the ego of the coach/captain.

Our record number of users online has been blown out of the water twice in the last few days already....tomorrow night could be huge ....or could be a huge letdown .
