  1. You can phrase it that way if you wish. The reality is I didn't understand the specific impact of the legal ramifications of something that didn't impact me or anyone i knew. I had always heard it framed as a religious argument (due in large part to the part of the country I live in) and was tone deaf to it. It wasn't and isn't a matter of not valuing someone's humanity or making someone "earn it". It's about being exposed to a different point of view or having your eyes opened to something you didn't understand and going "Hell, I didn't realize that. That's not right" I think this was missed - my point in the whole thing was, sometimes when something comes close to home, more personal or you are exposed to something different, your viewpoint can be changed quickly, regardless of your political point of view.
  2. Schneiderlin had 2 passes in particular that almost opened us up, including the one that was passed sideways across the width of the field. He looked a little rusty in spells, but in other spells he was brilliant. I think he is going to be an excellent addition. I just wonder wonder where Gana is going to fit in with the changes we have made in the last month
  3. I thought Davies provided the biggest threats when he ran at the defense, and did well defensively. Had a few turnovers, but also drew a few penalties. Amazingly calm that kid is. However, I could have just as easily gone with Joel. He has really grown to command his box this year, and had a couple of much needed saves.
  4. Which law is that? If it's the one I think you are talking about, Obama's democrats in the Senate pushed and got it changed from a 60 (of 100) votes to 51 a couple years ago, it wasn't the republicans. I personally didn't - and don't - like it.
  5. Lots of good, and lots of meh. A point away when we never put the ball in the net and conceded within 10 mins is...decent. Where was Lukakwho tonight? Davies and Lookman may well be our present, not just our future. Davis MOM, Joel a close 2nd?
  6. I've noticed on the NBCSN streams, the mics must be closer to the pitch, you hear so much more of the voices and sounds from the pitch http://stream.nbcsports.com/premier-league/stoke-everton-watch-live You juts have to log in with a cable/dish provider
  7. Mark I take it you were able to find the game online?
  8. The 3 in the middle are playing well - very active, the rest are spotty. Holgate looked a little better after getting worked the first 20-30 mins
  9. Not the way to start...no possession and down 0-1
  10. Yeah it's on NBC Extra time - website only or phone/tablet sadly. Of course I am going to plug the laptop into the TV lol
  11. Doesn't seem too odd when you think about it. I am all for what he is trying to do - that's why I voted for him. Doesn't mean i want him to do as much harm as good in the process, yanno? We could bring crime to practically zero if we shot everyone after they were arrested. Absurd example, but still. I think everyone wants affordable heath care, a better economy, security internal and external. But if we agreed on how, there wouldn't be a "left" and a "right"
  12. This explains the Barca connection. His age seems like the reason he hasn't moved yet. http://news.ladbrokes.com/football/premier-league/odds-suggest-everton-have-beaten-liverpool-barcelona-in-race-for-wonderkid.html ODDS SUGGEST EVERTON HAVE BEATEN LIVERPOOL & BARCELONA IN RACE FOR WONDERKID Brazilian ticks all the boxes for Koeman 31 January 2017 It’s not often you see Barcelona, Everton and Liverpool all linked with the same player. But add to that the fact that the Toffees look to have beaten their rivals in the race to sign someone and we have an incredibly strange case on our hands. The man in question is Brazilian prodigy Caio Emerson. Currently on the books at Corinthians, the 17-year old wouldn’t be able to move from the Brazilian outfit until next month – when he turns 18. But that hasn’t stopped our traders from making Everton the 8/13 favourites for the wonderkid’s signature. While the prospect of playing for La Liga giants Barcelona would seem too good to refuse for most youngsters, Emerson’s apparent decision to opt for a move to Goodison Park already tells us he’s got a mature head on his shoulders. And Toffees supporters will certainly be walking round Merseyside with a smug look on their faces if the forward turns down a move to their Red neighbours in favour of the Blues. Perhaps Emerson has been swayed by the potential game-time he’d likely receive at Everton, especially given the fact that Koeman has already handed senior debuts to three players aged 19 or younger this season. Regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in South America, Emerson’s potential arrival to the Premier League would be a huge coup for the division as a whole.

  13. The short-term contract move to Place was just mentioned on NBC Sports during halftime of Chelsea-Liverpool. Right after they showed the Gunners down 0-2 to Watford
  14. Could they have found a more awkward uncomfortable photo??? http://i1.liverpoolecho.co.uk/incoming/article11894350.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/JS99716959.jpg http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/arouna-kone-could-leave-everton-12534123
  15. What's left in the window, like 4 hours?
  16. The last year has been brutal sure. The USWNT flaming out of the Olympics didn't help.
  17. Wasn't that when he was coming back from injury, or am I forgetting?
  18. This. He is, IMO, one of the most stabilizing member of this squad as well. Doesn't ever really lose control on the pitch either, regardless how the match is going.
  19. Hell, there have been 5000 murders in Chicago alone in the last decade! Pretty good read - http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/29/politics/how-the-trump-administration-chose-the-7-countries/ Most of the counties on this list are not stable nations because they do not have a stable government. Broadly speaking 2 things keep a nation "stable". 1) Some for of representative gov - like we see in The West where the people can elect lawmakers and leaders 2) Authoritarian regimes which generally repress rights and political opposition When an authoritarian regime collapses (or is toppled) typically the lid comes off the boiling pot. Those who have been repressed grab for power or settle scores they were prevented from and things go to hell in a handbasket - Iraq, Libya, Syria, Egypt. Look how long it took The Balkans after Tito died for the chaos in Yugoslavia to play out. It makes it even worse when those nations happen to hate the west. Pakistan scares the shit out if me.
  20. Agree, I think a lot of our depth comes flexibility from formation shifting back 3/back 4 juggling a deep midfield layout etc - the rest, assuming we don't add anyone will come out of the U-23's
