Home to Oldham in the FA Cup. Should be problem free.

Done deal in my view, what pro footballer wouldn't want the chance toplay under...er...Gareth Southgate (in the Championship ).

Have a big day! Enjoy.

Looks like a fucking great bed-pan Steve...not my fave design option .

Uefa looks at match-fixing claims Uefa has given a 96-page report to Interpol alleging that 15 games in a variety of competitions were fixed. The matches are thought to have been qualifiers for Euro 2008, the Champions League, and Intertoto Cup. BBC Sport's Nigel Adderley reports that Uefa has confirmed an investigation is taking place into the matches, which do not go further back than July 2005. August 25th 2005...Exhibit A. 3jjLpxylvjo Collina's bank statements need to be exhibit B! I rest my case .

Wessels Hibbo Jags Vic AJ No Baines (or Gravesen).

Unchanged team....can't argue with that.

Josh is trying to complete a ten week project (supposed to have done an hour a week, actually done virtually fuck all) on the River Nile that needs to be handed in Monday. Trying for weeks to get him to do it and warned him it would come to this so I'm having to come the heavy parent....trouble is the poor little bloke just takes after his father, exactly my way of working so I've got great sympathy for him . And Josh if you read this...get back to work! Absolutely. Superstar in his day, used to be not to be missed TV events.

Not really...that's why I said "if." Bolton got lucky though, deserved nothing. 10,000 attendance in Europe after beating ManU...pitiful "support" (half of them had gone home by the time they equalized as well ).

You think you've got problems....my first top flight match was Chelsea v L*v*r*o*l in about 1969, finished 2-1 to the dark side and my brother wore his (Guildford City) red and white scarf . Can't remember my first Everton game (I'm ashamed to say) but I've got a feeling it was at QPR.

They've got it down as... http://www.evertonfc.com/stats/?mode=fixtu...fixture_id=3979 Confirmed elsewhere.. Sat Oct 8 1988 Div 1 H Southampton W 4 - 1 25,356 Cottee T 2 Watson D Steven T Mind playing tricks Fish? Or was it Newcastle on TC (the first's) début?

Why is it whenever I dream that I'm playing for Everton (like last night) I'm complete shite . I know it's true to how it would be in real life but these are my dreams ffs so can't my brain give me a break and let me score the winner in a derby just once ! Delayed a pass up last night because Lee Carsley was offside and he had a go at me because he said it was "only inches" (he was definitely off <_< ). Fortunately I wasn't the worst player on the pitch because we had a girl playing for us and she was truly awful . Alalyse that! .

That's a great shame. Don't know the facts but I'd have thought SA, like many (probably most) countries in the world has places where you don't go. I suspect that this sort of murder is pretty rare....hope so anyway. The World Cup in Africa is overdue and I hope it's a great success..

Keeps us top of the table, good enough for me. Two things I can't believe tonight... The truly pathetic crowd at Bolton and... Spurs 2-0 down at home to Aalborg at half time....extreme danger of going out if they lose.

According to the BBC Nuremburg are 1-0 up at half time . Edit...You're watching SPK v Lev . It's a replay of the game from 8th November... Spartak Moscow 2-1 Bayer Leverkusen

Good chance, if not of getting a result in Milan then of Benfica holding or beating Shakhtar in the Ukraine, they won't want to finish fourth and miss out on the UEFA. Alternatively you could go down the Austria/West Germany 1982 route and play out a draw at a stroll. Fortunately for the game that won't happen but it may peter out a bit in the second half if you're both holding position. Hope you do it anyway!

Nice to see Stubbsy took over the reserves last night..(Link)...be nice to see him in a coaching role at the club when he retires from playing. Top man and a top Blue!

Article talking about McLeish leaving Scotland for Brum on the BBC site... At St Andrews, McLeish will no doubt be earning anything up to four times the amount he was paid by the Scottish Football Association. But money cannot be the main motivation for an already wealthy man. It was the chance to pit his wits against his old mentor Sir Alex, Rafa, Arsene, Moyes and the rest that has seen Big Eck pack his bags for the English Premier League. ...moving up in the world Davey!

Would you like a blow-job from Angelina Jolie with that Steve ?

Playing for the reserves again tonight, as is JV....LINK

Substituting "acquire" for "buy" in my post changes nothing imo. There you go with your nitpicking journalistic tendencies again Bill . In the old fashioned TT tradition we shall have to agree to differ.....but you're still wrong :jerry: .

So you buy an international player to replace Tomáš Rosický and he does well for you....doesn't flop at all, turns out to be the player you expected. "I know," thinks Doll "I'll loan him out and then sell him, that's a good idea!" Makes a lot of sense. Also (from AFP)... "Slowly but surely, South African midfielder Steven Pienaar is recapturing the form that made him one of the most sought-after players in Europe in his early twenties. The 25-year-old shone brightly in the Ajax side which won the domestic title in 2004, and reached the second round of the UEFA Champions League in 2005/06. But he failed to show his true talent during a mixed 2006/07 season with German club Borussia Dortmund." And my apologies for being backward <_< .

As I said I knew nothing at all about Pienaar's time at Dortmund. Think judging him on a season and a half is fair isn't it? Presumably Borussia gave him a medical before they signed him. On paper and given their willingness to get rid he can surely only be regarded as a flop, whatever went before.

Signed for Borussia Dortmund on a three-year contract from Ajax in Jan 2006. Seen as a replacement Tomáš Rosický...played twenty-five games and scored none. If he was a success they why did they offload him to us? Have no idea how well he played for them but the bare facts suggest he didn't set the place alight.

There's a bloke in Singapore who's mother works in my bank (I've got the occasional programme for her to send out to him). About four thousand miles away but it's the best I can come up with . Welcome.
