Great save Tim!

He had an operation on Monday evening and Everton's Head of Medical Services, Danny Donachie, says the first stage in the Costa Rican’s period of rehabilitation had a positive outcome. Donachie told evertonfc.com: “Bryan's surgery was a big success and he is in a comfortable and stable condition. “He fractured his tibia and his fibula and they were displaced, so we weren’t able to put them back into place until Monday. He had surgery last night when a rod was put through his tibia, which means he will come back stronger than before. “It was a clean break and that means that there are no pieces of bone. Sometimes when there are small fragments of bone in the area, it can be difficult to deal with. But these are clean breaks, so they will put the bones back into position and it will heal well from there. “We will be working hard to get him back as quickly as we can.” Sounds frigging horrific and though not being a medical man I fail to see how he will come back stronger with a rod through his bone? Fair enough, the rod might be stronger than his bone and so not snap quite so easily but it's a bit of a grand statement, for me, though I hope Donachie's right.

Not much to choose between Galatasaray and AS Roma in terms of average attendance for 2012/13 with Galatasaray having @ 1,000 higher attendance. Roma have by far the bigger stadium for now, sharing the Stadio Olimpico (capacity over 70,000) with Lazio, but they're looking to build their own 55,000 seater (just bigger than Galatasaray's) but Galatasaray have a far greater worldwide fan base, amounting to some 25 million, so in those terms Galatasaray are way bigger than Roma, if that matters. Heitinga seems to like a loud crowd and he'll certainly get that at the Turk Telekom Arena!

I can't understand for the life of me why Mourinho gets so much air time. I've just looked "gobshite" up in the Oxford English and all it said was "Mourinho".

6-0 vs Palace, 5-3 vs Grimsby followed in next round (QF) with 9-1 vs Southport to then lose 1-0 in semi final at Old Trafford to West Bromwich Fucking Albion!

He would be a great player for us.

We are where we're meant to be but we should be blasting shite like this off the park. 4 points dropped against them this season. We can go 5/6 years without beating these, though recent record (last 5 years) more positive. Not quite a bogey team like Arsenal, Leeds or Liverpool, but; Overall, P159, W65, D36, L58, F256, A250

The reputation of The World Cup and the suggestion that football is a sport or even the greatest game on earth is pie in the sky. It was finally completely killed off as representing either sport or a game the moment it was revealed this debacle is to be held in Qatar, regardless of what time of year they decide to have it.

Goodbye and good luck. Never hid when things weren't going his way. Ended up being a 'there or thereabouts' buy for us but is a trier and that's part of what wearing our shirt is about.

Fulham, Cardiff, West Brom Ideally, Villa, West Brom, Newcastle

I've seen this regularly recently as well. Not so much at home (use Google as a search engine but have TT as a favourite so usually go in via that). Main instances have been at work via Firefox then having to type Toffeetalk into Google as don't have bookmarks saved on my work pc.

That colour-coded to the shirt Keith Lemon bandage Suarez wears. Horrible twat! What's that all about, as well as the finger-licking?

Suarez kissing his fingers, as he does, after scoring. Looks like he's licking chicken fat off them, or something. Odious twat! What's it all about?

The Gwladys Street don't know it's French.... they think it's the name of a Turkish massage parlour in Birkenhead....

Barton got himself sent off deliberately so as not to play Boxing Day. Redknapp looked neither surprised nor interested. Wes Brown also had no need to make the tackle he did and now misses next 3 - all over the festive period. Programme a couple of years ago about referees highlighted they are usually told to watch for players trying to do this at this time of year and also players had asked them to book them and when they hadn't the player would deliberately whack someone so they had no choice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvEP44HeBqU The classy Manc bird about 04:15 in sums up a wonderful end to a marvellous evening. I'm glad she didn't fall as that would have put her out of her misery. As for Allez Allez Allez Oh, I've heard plenty of European teams' fans singing it constantly through a game so I think it's just something we've adopted?

Chelsea and Arsenal to get twatted and the other two to do the twatting, will do for me.

In their haste to get this out to the world the BBC have, once again, lost the ability to spell. Wonder if Martin Yole will go back there? Thinking on about this bloke - He's someone who seems to have ideas above his station and might be better off going back to being someone's assistant. In his post match interview yesterday he said he picks the team, makes the substitutions and sets the tactics so took the blame for it which was honourable if not a bit naive in the cut-throat world of "it's always some other fucker's fault". He then went on in the post match press interview to answer awkwardly when asked if the players he had bought were up to the job, implicating Levy influencing the decisions to buy / not to buy. It was the latter which, in my opinion, has got him the sack as you don't dis the suits (Levy) even if they have hung you out to dry with their dithering over spending the Bale money and then spunking it on carthorses (in PL terms) like Soldado & co. The press also gave him the rope to hang himself with by asking the question in the first place but he didn't have to place the noose around his neck. Nothing to do with results / performances - they're only 8 points off top spot (?). Ol' 'arry jogged on out of White Hart Lane in similar circumstances, I think? Horrible little wannabe fucker, that Levy!

Even when he doesn't score he celebrates each goal we score as though he scored it. Massive team player.

Booing Radzinski during the warm up 1st time Radzinski returned to Goodison.

Atkinson was the ref in the 3-3 against Utd at Goodison in 2010, when we were 1-3 down going into injury time, scored twice in quick succession and he blew for full time during what was the same passage of play when we were on a break for the winner after a Utd corner. Resulted in Moyes marching onto the pitch almost to the centre circle to have a word with him.

Fantastic picture. Photographic art.
