  1. Just when I clicked on this post Harvest Moon came up (randomly) on my itunes....spooky . Very impressed at the John Martyn awareness, he's a legend! Photo a mate of mine took back in the seventies..he looks a little rougher now .
  2. I think if you read the terms and conditions we all agreed to when we signed up for TT you'll find that it's compulsory to stay up talking bollocks until midnight on transfer deadline day Adam .
  3. Just a thought...if we finished winning five, drawing three and losing six in the last fourteen games we'd have the same record as 04/05. Not a chance that'll be good enough for fourth this time, but not a chance we'll finish that poorly either I don't think.

    Other results being kind to us reminded me of 04/05, when we kept fucking up toward the end of the season but every time we dropped points so did everyone else! Bit harsh on AJ raccy imo, he got into the positions for the chances and put them on target which separates him from BT. Bit of luck or a bit of a mishit and it would have been different. Our defence was massive again....Jags is looking to be another inspired piece of DM business but we're coming to expect it now. Telegraph Fantasy League gave MOTM to Chimbonda !?!? Can anyone explain that to me? He was the lowest rated player on the pitch according to the BBC....if any Spurs defender should have got it it was Woodgate by a street surely?
  5. Hmmm, "Yellow Submarine" is a bit suspect and I've always hated "Paperback Writer."

    Settle for that. Other results went for us...Pompey and Liverpool losing...City only getting a point at Derby. Four points from Spurs we'd have taken gladly at the start of the season and we've got seven from nine since the African lads left. Had more shots and more corners than Spurs. Win would have been great, but I'll sleep OK . Edit.....don't forget to vote for MOTM...link in my sig!

    Liverpool have lost at West Ham and City dropped points at Derby. Good news!

    2106: So close for Everton at Goodison Park as Mikel Arteta sends a beautiful cross-shot across goal but it evades Anichebe and drifts to safety. Tottenham hanging on at the start of this half just as they were at the end of the last.

    On top according to 5Live, couple of good chances and a penalty shout. Settle for that, clean sheet number one priority and try to nick one.

    I can't find one. How are we lining up? Anyone know. Can't get picture/commentary anywhere <_< .

    Sounds more logical to me.

    About as good as we could have hoped. Ossie's a blow but Baines is a bonus....not sure if he's fully fit though. It does mean however that I can go back to my old prediction. 2-1 to Everton. AJ and a twenty-five yard screamer from VDM in the last minute .
  13. Would that be Boots the Chemist or 90% off a pair of thigh length PVC's in FetishesRus ?
  14. We're talking ideal world money and planning and logistics no object in this thread. You'd be very hard pushed to find any Evertonian who'd want to go to Kirkby if there was a practical alternative (which many people think there is). That doesn't neccessarily make everyone anti-Kirkby.
  15. Telegraph have got a site detailing what they think are the best and worst bit's of transfer window business....a few interesting ones... Best 5. David Unsworth Sheff United to Wigan - undisclosed 2007. Scored goal that kept Wigan up, thereby relegating team who sold him. 6. Mikel Arteta Real Sociedad to Everton - £2m 2005. Has become an integral part in the Moyes-inspired resurrection of Everton. 25. Alan Stubbs Sunderland to Everton - undisclosed 2006. Returned to Goodison to become a defensive rock. Worst 13. James Beattie Southampton to Everton - £6m 2005. Never a consistent goalscorer at Southampton; things didn't get started at Everton. and, nothing to do with Everton but so true... 1. Jean-Alain Boumsong Rangers to Newcastle - £8m 2005. Accident-prone defender who did much to undermine Graeme Souness' position. Full article is HERE if you want a look.
  16. No real advantage in going second in this imo. You just score as much as you can....there was definite advantage in DOND because you knew when to duck out but personally in something like this I'd rather go first so you don't need to keep checking the score to see how close you are.
  17. Beatles is difficult. Stones would be easy ("Paint it Black" by a mile). Off the top of my head and without having a listen to engage the memory I'd say... "She's leaving Home" Beautiful.
  18. ....and he got his highest ever score at the first attempt . That's my boy !
  19. Was just going to post the same thing .
  20. Poor performance and for the second tournament in a row I'm beaten by the Fish. At the end of the day it was a game of two halves and I'm sick as a parrot. The honour of O now rests with Joshua....no pressure lad .
  21. One of the most memorable days of my life up to that point, the game after Bally died, got a last minute ticket for the Gwladys and it was really special. Then it fell apart . Wouldn't have missed it for the World though.

    Not good. According to that he's picking from a squad of fifteen which includes Wessels, Ossie and Baines. Leaves us with only two outfield players on the bench if Ossie an Baines miss out .
  23. Neil Young is God. My wife loves Newton Faulkner. Great guitar player imo but a bit hit and miss with the songs. Between old and new Billy Bragg is phenomenal, not the finest musician ever but lyrically (and politically) spot on.
  24. Can't get at the main PC at the mo so had a practise on Josh's laptop and got 26,400....so now I don't know which one to use .
  25. Dennis Wise? Two more already added to the "team" with "one or two more key appointments (including Shearer?)" to come. No-one sacked so they still have Pearson and others. And Wise reporting directly to the Chairman...not Keegan . Gonna need a board meeting to decide who sits next to who on the bus (and it'll need to be a big bus!). All sounds like a recipe for complete disaster to me. Lets hope so anyway .
