Our cricket is in such a trough of mediocrity at the mo that I had no idea or interest that they were in NZ 'til I read this. Now I know they're there but still have no interest . Sorry.

Great article, love this... "When I came here I had a five-year plan for us to be better at Everton. I have now got a plan for the next five years that would see us become a regular Champions League club."

Unheard of . There's obviously something there that they don't want to come out! Incredible, makes you wish it had gone ahead.

Was wondering today about forums. Apart from here I go (occasionally) onto a Fantasy Footie one, one travel related and have used a couple of others in the past (vintage electronics/another travel). I know Bill has his hiking/climbing thing (and Mac has the Donkey Porn) but what, if any, do other people use? Also, what is the strangest one you can find? Try THIS for starters . Fascinating thread I'm sure you'll agree, something I'd always wondered about .

Bloody Hell! On a similar note a few days ago (meant to post earlier but forgot) I was listening to 5Live in the car and they were talking about wheelchair access at stadiums. Everton were continually used as an example of how to get it right....particularly the fact that they're still actively upgrading the facilities even though planning to leave Goodison in the near future. Liverpool season ticket holder (of thirty-five years, last two or three in a chair) phoned in and slagged off Anfield something rotten. Always nice to hear positive stuff about the club!

I'm in...19,999 to go .

Trom ToffeeWeb... Just four sub appearances before he damaged knee ligaments at Southampton and that was it. So much for a one-year loan to assess his dazzling Brazilian skills... Despite his recovery by the end of the season, David Moyes had seen enough and decided to release him. Tellingly, no-one has picked him up yet...

Who made you the geography police ya fascist!!

Born in Cowley, Middlesex....short stroll (204 miles) from Liverpool....does that count ?

....and quite possibly off again after eighty-six. Wouldn't want him to over-exert himself . Now that I'd pay to see (probably equally as likely as my prediction though) .

Quite surprised to see that Blackburn have only taken fifteen points from their last fifteen games. Only beaten Derby, Sunderland, Notlob and Newcastle. If they hadn't had a decent start that's relegation form, not Europe. Early goal from AJ, then a twenty-five yarder from VDM after eighty-five . 2-0.

Anderson Silva de França..shortest Everton career on record? Eighty minutes into the Charlton game last April it's 0-0 and DM's got VDM stripped as a last throw of the dice to try and get the win. Before he can get on Lescott scores and VDM sits down again (for the last time?). Two minutes from time Anderson comes on for Arteta, just to waste thirty seconds. Eighty-nine minutes Bent scores, Faddy gets the miracle winner in injury time. Da Silva's Everton career lasts five minutes tops....but it was a hell of a five minutes . Fortunately for posterity I captured the moment he walked off the pitch for the last (and first) time...

Does Fernandes not count ?

Maybe not...http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,2...5-23215,00.html

Early Doors.

Bright new future for England with Heskey and Crouch up front . Same old bollocks.

Put Santa Cruz in my fantasy team a few weeks back so he only scored once in four games . Swapped him for Anelka now so no doubt he'll start banging them in again .

BBC... 1642: "Gareth Barry has just been seen with his agent going in to Goodison Park, along with Theo Walcott." And my Grandma has been signed to cover at centre back !

Why don't you be a sportsmanlike opponent and send him a pm to remind him...like I did with Moyski in the last one...honest .

There are many reasons imo, but that one is enough. Closed.

Say it ain't so Stubbsy....ended in tears last time, don't make the same mistake twice :crying_anim02: !

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 .

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 .

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?
