good luck today mike to your ladies and to ours. barring a disaster should be wins for the both of us. can't believe brazil got ousted by australia, well played by the aussies.

yes mike i have just seen this, very sad. the american baseball player mike piazza who was the last hope to buy them (and said he would) bailed. from his apology and explanation it seems the club is so corrupt it wouldn't be worth purchasing. which makes one think if you buy it can't you fire everyone and put together a decent staff? maybe he didn't want to go through all the trouble. good news for brescia though! relegated to third division but now since parma is out of the 2nd divison they have been reinstated! i bet they are super happy!

damn i was hoping to hear the gossip on his falling out. oh well, good luck at bournemouth.

any word where to? would be nice on the wing for us, very very fast and good with a cross.

exactly. i wasn't messing pad. if we played hoofball and won the league and cups and champs league do you think anyone would be canceling tickets? hell no. they'd be in more demand. winning is all that matters. now how you get to winning by playing a style, there's an argument there for sure. but to think that style is the most important thing is laughable. if we played beautiful football but were relegated all the way to the conference not many would show up. winning matters. look at our style now, you all hate it, yet ticket sales were up over last year, why? we got 5th and made europa so people bought tickets cause we were winning. if the sales are down for this next year? not due to style, due to being 12th and not winning. pad you are the perfect example, you still have your season ticket, you and your sons hate the style, but you still attend. if it really mattered (not calling you out just proving a point) you wouldn't attend, but it doesn't, everton is more important to you as a whole and therefore you support. man united has such a rabid fan base because they were constantly winning. after that bad season with moyes look how many jumped ship and bailed. the real fans stuck by because they support the club not the style, but many many fans didn't because they just care about backing a winner. I realize most here are ultras or super fans so back the team regardless, but on the whole a large part of every fan base is not.

voice of reason. thank you. spot on.

For England it has, but I see many other nations playing with pride and giving it their all. The cops America has been great and Argentina don't look like they are "looking to holiday". The immense pressure and overhyped nature of your side is its downfall. Expecting a sub par side to be phenomenal is stupid, yet England expects and demands and then derides its side.

The goal is to win not to look good or provide entertainment for 8 year olds. If he doesn't like it don't go to the game or watch. Otherwise it's just useless bitching. This is the manager the board picked and this is his style. He's not going to change for a couple fans and a newspaper writer. Laughable.

If true baines would still be only 31 end of this upcoming campaign when garbutt is seeking to upend him for LB. would we sell baines at that point? Move him to midfield? I guess rm will have to worry about that next offseason.

9 goals 31 appearances and 24 years old. For that cheap why not, maybe we can sell Kone.

I do as well. I wonder how high their standards are and can he help us enough without showing enough to stay?

I second that. Give Robles a chance

He's supposed to be creative. So he would be the 10. He's on the outs there so if he was really cheap it's worth it, but he doesn't have the highly rated thing going for him and in the games he has played he's been pretty anonymous.

wow we completely missed the boat on this.

playing time is more important to him than league or wage apparently. good for him, better than riding the pine every match. and i agree, he was decent.

i think they had the odds on tiger at 120-. sad, he just isn't what he used to be. glad the young guys are coming up, mcilroy, fowler, etc. good for them.

yeah sherwood knows what he's doing. he's a decent manager as well. i wonder if they will sell benteke its been very quiet lately on that front.

no at 20m, still no at 10m. id rather gerry podolski and creative player.

mike i saw that as well and my mind was blown. maybe someone should sign up and invite him here

damn, yeah i liked him too, thought he was given a raw deal at arsenal (who isn't?). good ole vitor, comes back to haunt us again. well down lad, maybe after RM get's the sack you can come here.

the red cafe's opinion has no bearing on how good he actually is, bunch of idiots in there. the couple of actual decent posters said what some of us say, young talented, growing and 20+ goal scorer a year. man united is a shadow of what it once was, their rely on their former glories and wads of cash to lure players, not exciting football, talented manager, and great team. they are a joke. mercenaries is what they'll end up with.

Lol I love lukaku and back him but If they offered 40m id take it.

hell yes! enjoy that beach gerry, cause it's all business once you get back
