Joe

It is a good show. The crappy part is it comes on at the same time as Prison Break here so I haven't been able to watch a lot of the recent episodes

Is this season 1 for you guys?

I wouldn't mind going after Dean Ashton but he probably will cost too much

It doesn't surprise me that he is the highest paid American. We don't really have any players that are going to get a lot of money. The only two players I could see that would test him are McBride and Gooch (who possibly will make more if Newcastle signs him this summer)

Joe.. here is the quote from the AGM minutes about Vancouver:

I actually really hope that they don't come to Vancouver this year. I go to school 45 mins south of the city but will be spending my summer in Dublin this year. Now if it happens next year, I'd be all for it

I have heard of ITV but never really knew what it was. Do you guys get 24 there?

I don't see anything wrong with the way it is now. If it is disrespectful the ref should give a card but that is the extend of it.

I did not know that

It would be nice if basketball got bigger there. As far as baseball it has a good tradition and is one of those sports that you have to grow up with to enjoy. There are definitely a lot of games that can be boring to watch, I agree with you there.

If we can get him for a good price I would be all for it. Unfortunately we will probably have to pay a lot for him. I haven't watched too much of him but from what I've seen he looks promising. They play the PNE Man City game on tv here this weekend so I get another change to watch him

Damien Rice- Cannonball

Radiohead- Idioteque

I will watch hockey if San Jose is playing since that is where I am from. My favorite american sport would be basketball . I don't think it is that popular in the UK though . I will also watch baseball if the San Francisco Giants are playing.

I like it better actually althought it isn't a huge change

Uefa have implemented a rule which will see clubs include a minimum number of eight homegrown players in their squads by the 2008-09 campaign.

 

Good news I think..

It's going to help us I believe but I am a little surprised to see this happen I'm sure Arsenal is thrilled about it haha

it was me who started the topic originaly after hearing it on radio city one evening. im a massive fan of his and after watching him in the world it convinced me that he could play at the top level.

He can play left back but he is much more effective as a winger and that is where he plays on Mexico's national team. He gets down the side with ease and has a quality touch. I believe I read it from Jackelz but also read it on another website in December. According to wikipedia though lots of clubs are interested in. Atlas is asking for atleast 5 million Euros for him which is something we could probably offer. He would give us pace as a left winger.

Joe, should we expect an american invasion now that TH has signed full time for us?

No I don't think we will see that. If anything you would expect an American invasion to Fulham but as sad as it sounds people mainly follow either Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool or Chelsea here. There are some Fulham fans because of the Americans but nothing like the big 4. There weren't a lot of Man City fans when Reyna was on the squad either. I just think a lot of Americans are happy that Tim is getting first team football since he will be our number 1 but won't become Everton supporters because of it.

I remember reading that Everton were interested in him during the January window. He is currently playing at Atlas in Mexico and I got the opportunity to watch him play against the U.S in the friendly last week. He plays left mid and was by far the best player on the pitch during the match. He has a lot of pace and got off a lot of good crosses. I doubt we will get him since the likes of Real Madrid and Inter are looking at him but it is worth checking out. Plus he is only 20. Who knows though maybe his game won't fit the Premiership but I was very impressed. This is the video that someone posted before...

Thats great to see. They did an interview with him before the U.S/ Mexico friendly and Lehmann got on and praised Howard. I didn't expect to see that but you know he is doing something right.

Im slightly upset with his choice of avatar.. I was hoping for a Joe Royle one so I could refer to him as "big joe".

Good call

nuno is a decent defender when fit, prefer bridge over him and baines tho. but wouldn't mind baines here but bridge for me. wouldn't mind geremi either tbh

I agree Nuno is nice to have and it's good we extended his contract but would much rather have Baines or Bridge. I hope Moyes will make a move for one of them in the summer

American football is terrible to watch. I couldn't bring myself to watch the superbowl

When I started watching the Premiership I didn't have a favorite team. Hardly any of my friends or family follow football and I didn't want to become a supporter of the big 4. The more and more I watched, I noticed I was really starting to pull for Everton because of the way they played. I eventually started watching Everton every week they were on tv and if they weren't I would stream the games online. There is no better club in the world to support than Everton.

Welcome Joe.. have you seen this site - http://www.efcscna.com ?

No I haven't seen that site. I didn't know anything like that existed. Thank you very much for the link

Hi everyone my name is Joe and I am a huge Everton supporter. I am from California but going to school on the the U.S/ Canadian border. I currently do not know any other Everton supporter here in the states, since everyone seems to follow the big four, but plan on attending a game in August. It is nice to come to a place where I can discuss the club with other supporters. That is about it.

 

Cheers

Maybe now we can get him in the lineup for the upcoming Man Utd fixture. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with Tim in goal.

It also looks like he will be the U.S number 1 which is nice to hear. We just drew Argentina in the Copa America this summer so it will it be a great experience for him, if he plays in it.
